Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 303

"Have you showered yet?"

He did not compliment her.

"Yeah."

"Let's get going downstairs for some grub."

Owen spun around and walked off, but after a couple of steps, he turned his head back to her and said, "It's your favorite seafood feast."

Cecilia followed his steps and asked, "Seafood feast this early?"

"It's ten in the morning now, not too early."

"I can't believe I slept till now!"

Cecilia exclaimed. Her phone was still in the coffee shop, and there was no alarm to wake her up.

"Mr. Malicious. Do you hear the wind? And something like the sound of waves?"

Cecilia did hear it; she thought she was hallucinating.

She remembered when Owen brought her back to a villa under his name last night, and there was no sea around.

She could hear the sound of the waves, even though she was not by the sea. It was unclear whether she was hallucinating or her hearing had become superhuman after waking up.

"We are now on the Anderson family's private island."

Cecilia was shocked.

Immediately, she turned around to go back, saying as she walked, "I must have woken up wrong. How could I possibly be on an island?"

Owen laughed and pulled her back, took her downstairs, and explained, "I told you before that I would take you to the seaside for a vacation this weekend. The Anderson family's private island has great views; it's a great place for vacation."

"You slept very soundly this morning, so I carried you out and came here with them for vacation."

Cecilia was confused.

"What do you mean by waking up wrong? How many ways do you have to wake up?"

Owen said with a laugh.

Downstairs, Cecilia saw the two friends from last night.

Upon seeing Cecilia in a dress, Tiffany even whistled. Liam looked over gloomily. She hurriedly whistled at Liam several times, making him helpless.

According to Stefan's plan, he would also take the elders on vacation.

The elders went out with them, but they wisely chose not to stay in this sea view villa with the young people.

Several sea view villas were built on the island for vacation. In addition to the villas, there were also small airports, shopping malls, parks, etc.; it was like a small city. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

All the people on the island were employees of the Anderson family, protecting this beautiful island that had also been turned into a vacation holy land.

The island would be open to the public every month for five days. During these five days, anyone who could afford to come by boat or plane could have a pleasant five days on the island.

This was also done to allow the employees who do seafood business on the island to make money, promoting the island's economy.

The Anderson family's vacation holy land in Pinehurst was very famous. The rich all lined up wanting to come to this island, and the employees never had to worry about their seafood not being sold.

After the meal, Cecilia finally had a chance to chat with her two friends.

The three women sat on a few large rocks by the sea, looking out at the sea.

The sea breeze was strong.

The waves rhythmically lapped against the shore.

"Lucy, you didn't have any problems, did you? Did Stefan lose his temper with you?"

Cecilia gently nudged her friend, asking curiously.

Lucinda replied, "You have the nerve to ask; it's all because of the things you shouldn't have said that aroused Owen's suspicion, causing us all to get caught. Lucky I had friends around. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to get out of bed today."

Lucinda thought back to the events of last night and still felt a little scared.

When Stefan found her, the look on his face gave her nightmares last night; it was too scary.

He even hurt her lips over and over again.

Until she begged for mercy, promised not to go to the Neon Nectar Nightclub again, and coupled with her coaxing and expression of love for him, he stopped.

"Owen was very angry last night. I was very scared, but luckily, he was a gentleman and didn't do anything to me; he just denied our agreement. Lucy, you were right. Everything you said before has come true."

Cecilia said gloomily, "I just wanted to repay his kindness; I never thought about spending the rest of my life with him."

Lucinda said, "This is the inevitable result of the plot development. We novelists like to write like this, and readers like to see you bring it on yourself."

Cecilia said, "Ruby disappointed him. If he loses hope in Ruby, wouldn't he hold on to you?"

Lucinda was quite happy to see her friend suffer.

Because her friend had watched her suffer before.

Among friends, happiness should be shared, and difficulties should be faced together.

Suffering should be shared too!

"I'll try talking to him about divorce in a few days. He's not in a good mood these days, so I won't provoke him."

Lucinda laughed and said, "As if he would agree to a divorce. Like when I was with Stefan, was he willing to divorce?"

"Lucy, can't you give me some hope?"

"I'm preparing you mentally."

"The rabbit I raised tastes pretty good, Lucy. I've tried it." Tiffany, who had been silent all along, suddenly said something with satisfaction.

Lucinda immediately looked at her.

Cecilia looked very confused and asked Tiffany, "You ate a rabbit? Why didn't you invite me? I want to taste it too. How did you cook it?"

Tiffany replied, "There are all kinds of cooking methods. Anyway, it's very delicious. Cecilia, this is the rabbit I raised; I can't let you eat it."

Cecilia retorted, "Although we have only known each other for a short time, we have a very good relationship. You are too stingy. It's just a rabbit, can't you give me a little bit? If you don't want to, I can buy some rabbits for you."

Lucinda couldn't help but laugh as she said, "Cecilia, the rabbit Tiffany is talking about is Liam. Do you still want to eat him?"

Cecilia was stunned.

"How did Liam turn into a rabbit?"

She thought Tiffany was unwilling to share her rabbit meat.

"It's their love game."

Lucinda was amused by her friend's words and laughed till her stomach hurt.

When Cecilia realized it, she immediately grabbed Tiffany's shoulder and gossiped, "What did you try?"

Tiffany's face turned as red as a tomato.

"Lucinda gets it," she said.

Pushing away Cecilia's hand, she slid off the rock and said over her shoulder, "I pigged out last night and need to chill at home. If you guys have other plans, don't bother waiting up for me."

Cecilia watched Tiffany retreating back, then turned to her friend and asked, "What's she got her knickers in a twist about?"

Lucinda's face was also flushing as she said, "Didn't you get her drift? All those novels you've read have gone to waste. My grandparents are fishing over there; I'll go check on them."

To avoid further questioning from her friend, Lucinda also slid off the rock, left Cecilia behind, and made a beeline out of there.

Cecilia was at a loss for words.

After a moment of thought, she finally got the gist and muttered to herself, "So she just found out that Liam's still a virgin. Why didn't she just say so?"
