Chapter 185


    Stefan didn''t realize he was crashing a phone call between his wife and her mother.


    He strode in, heading straight for Lucinda.


    He handed Lucinda a bunch of flowers, speaking softly, "Darling, I''m here to pick you up."


    Receiving the flowers, Lucinda replied, "You''re giving me flowers again. It''s sote, by tomorrow,


    they won''t be fresh, they''ll wither quickly."


    "Well, from tomorrow I''ll give you practical flowers that won''t wither."


    Lucinda was curious, "What kind of flowers are both practical and won''t wither?"


    Cecilia joked with augh, "It''s not going to be fake flowers, is it?"


    Stefan answered mysteriously, "You''ll know tomorrow."


    With Stefan''s arrival, Lucinda didn''t stick around for long.


    She held the bouquet in one hand and lifted herptop bag with the other, ready to finish her


    updates early in the morning so she could spend the day with her parents.


    Arge hand reached out and took herptop bag.


    She knew without looking it''s her husband, he''s always so thoughtful.


    They''d known each other for eleven years, she''s never been particrly fond of him, but after a


    month of marriage, she fell for him.


    Facing such an outstanding man, so considerate towards you, gentle only to you, always keeping


    you in his heart, spoiling you rotten, Lucinda felt her resistance was too weak, she couldn''t resist


    Stefan''s love.


    So, she chose to surrender.


    "Cecilia, why don''t we go together, we''ll take you home first." Lucinda suggested.


    Cecilia politely declined her friend''s kindness, sheughed and said, "No need, I''m about to close


    up, and my house isn''t far, I''ll be home quickly on my e-bike."


    "Well, be careful then."


    "Sure will."


    The couple bid Cecilia goodbye and left the shop.


    Stefan ced theptop bag on the backseat of the car.


    "I''ll buy you three or fourputers, one in Ascend Estate, one in Diamond Ridge Estates, one in


    your rental and one in your parents'' house. This way, no matter where you stay, you won''t have to


    lug around yourptop."


    He hadputers for her to use, but she said she''s used to her own, if she changedputers,


    she couldn''t keep up with her typing speed.


    Truth was, she''s afraid of disturbing his work and didn''t want to use hisputer.


    Then he would buy her severalputers.


    No, he would buy even more.


    He owned a lot of houses, and each one should have a spareputer for her.


    "It''s fine, I''m used to carrying myptop around."


    Lucinda, while buckling her seatbelt, said "I n to call my mom, I was going to tell her I found my


    birth mom, but we got caught up in the conversation and I never got a chance to say it. Luckily, my


    mom ising to town tomorrow, I can tell them in person then, so my brothers won''t have to make


    the trip."


    Originally, Keith was nning to visit the Moore family tomorrow.


    "Mom''sing over tomorrow? I''ll send a car for her, are dad and grandma and grandpaing?


    Invite them all. Lucy, remember, once they''re here, they''re moving into Ascend Estate, we can''t let


    them stay in a hotel, and they definitely can''t stay in your rental."


    "Do you want to give up your house?"


    Lucinda said, "Let''s wait until the end of the month to cancel the lease. My mom wants my brother


    to go back and pick them up, I''m sure he won''t be happy."

    She ryed her mother''s words to Stefan.


    Stefan chuckled while driving, "Your mom really looks out for me." Both her moms were very


    supportive of him.


    He still needed to win over her dad, and her grandparents, this way, he won''t have to worry about


    Ike causing him trouble.


    "Send Ike a message, tell him he doesn''t need to go back, I''ll have the driver pick them up."


    Lucinda said, "Alright."


    After sending the message, Lucinda realized they were on the way back to Diamond Ridge Estates,


    she asked, "Aren''t we going back to Ascend Estate tonight?"


    Stefan answered, "It''s already toote, we won''t go back to Ascend Estate, Diamond Ridge Estates


    is closer, we can have more time to do meaningful things."


    Lucinda quickly understood what he meant, her face turned slightly red.


    "Stefan, when are your parentsing back?"


    Lucinda changed the topic, asking about his parents'' return date.


    Stefan answered, "I''m not sure, they change their phone numbers when they go on trips, unless


    they contact me, I can''t find them."


    Lucinda asked, "Why is that?"


    Stefan answered, "They want to enjoy their world of two, and they don''t want to be disturbed by us.


    If it weren''t for my dad worrying about my mom having a hard time giving birth, he would''ve had a


    vasectomy after my brother was born. With their deep love for each other, they might''ve given me


    another brother or sister during their travels."


    Lucinda was speechless.


    So, his doting on her was a family tradition.


    His grandpa doted on his grandma, and his dad doted on his mom.


    A good family culture will raise good children, this saying is true.


    Stefan continued, "You don''t need to worry about my parents, they''re even easier to get along with


    than my grandparents, as long as you treat them well, they''ll treat you like their own."


    Lucinda tentatively asked, "Will they ept me easily?"


    Stefanughed, "You''re the daughter-inw they''ve been waiting for, they''ll love you very much, you


    don''t need to try hard to please them."


    Lucinda said, "Hearing you say that, I''m relieved. I''ve always been worried your parents wouldn''t


    like me, or think I''m not good enough for you, what I''m most afraid of is your mom handing me a


    check, telling me ''this is five hundred thousand dors, ept it and leave my son''."


    Stefanughed, "No matter who''s daughter you are, my parents won''t mind. Speaking of which,


    Lucy, do you think I''m only worth five hundred thousand dors? Wouldn''t you ask for more?"


    Lucinda awkwardly replied, "Isn''t everyone used to using five hundred thousand dors as a


    benchmark?"


    Stefan said with augh, "If you think of me as a priceless treasure, then you definitely wouldn''t


    ept five hundred thousand dors."


    Lucinda replied, "I never thought about selling you."


    Catching the seriousness in his words, Lucinda quickly denied.


    Who would want to sell such a great man?


    No one could afford Stefan.


    Stefan huffed loudly on purpose.


    He said, "If you dare sell me out, don''t me me for giving you some payback!"


    "I won''t, rest easy! I value you a lot, how could I just sell you out like that?"


    "Even if your mum waved a five million dor cheque at me to get me to leave you, I wouldn''t take


    it."


    Stefan said, "You really cherish your life, don''t you?"


    Seeing him drop the issue, Lucinda finally let out a sigh of relief.


    She quietly patted her chest.


    If she didn''t butter him up, she might not be able to get out of bed tomorrow.


    Her mom once said, when they had just gotten their marriage certificate, her brother was worried


    Stefan might not be up to the mark.


    Lucinda snickered inwardly, him not being up to the mark? He''s a fighter jet among men, he''s plenty


    up to the mark!


    No wonder he always gave her a hard time.


    So it was because her brother had once doubted him, and he was proving his ability through action!


    Ike thought, “ming me again!”


    He used to always praise his sister''s good points, and it ended up sparking Stefan''s curiosity and


    interest in her.


    Yep, it really was his fault!
