The Perfect Husband (Lee Brothers #1)

CHAPTER TWO: ENGAGEMENT HAS BEEN DECIDED✧THIRD PERSON's POV✧"Hi, darling!" Stephanie greeted her handsome grandchildren with a series of kisses, her smile wide and welcoming. She greeted Summer the same way. "How are you all?" Behind her were her husband, Carlo Vivar, a well-known business executive, and their youngest child, Amethyst, affectionately called Aunt Baby by the triplets and Summer. Amethyst, now twenty-three, was only a year younger than the triplets."We're fine, Mommyla. But Faith isn’t so fine." Hope grinned mischievously, earning a disapproving look from their father, Ace.Hope was being a nuisance. Faith was already nervous about the visit, and Hope's teasing only made things worse. They all knew the real reason for their Mommyla's visit today.They continued their conversation as they made their way to the dining area. The two couples led the way, while the younger ones followed behind. Summer and Amethyst, both close in age and affection, walked arm in arm, giggl

CHAPTER FOUR: ENGAGEMENT PARTY✧FAITH ZEICAN LEE✧It’s been a month since Chloe and I started dating. I’ve taken this time to get to know her, and so far, I’m starting to really like her. Why wouldn’t I? She’s a sweet girl. At first, I was a bit nervous around her, but now I feel more at ease because she’s easy to get along with. She knows how to carry on a conversation when she notices I’m getting quiet, which sometimes happens due to my shyness.It turns out Uncle Ryan’s source was unreliable—his assistant apparently got the info from a friend working at a Herald company. But what I’ve seen in Chloe contradicts that news. She’s genuinely kind and sweet.One moment that really stood out was when we passed an elderly beggar on the street. Usually, I stop to give something when I see a beggar, but at that moment, I hesitated, thinking Chloe might be uncomfortable given her sophisticated demeanor compared to the elderly person who was dirty and smelled odd. To my surprise, Chloe stopped

CHAPTER SIX: DINNER✧FAITH ZEICAN LEE✧"Yes. Poppy is my sister, Faith." Chloe kept her gaze on me. "She’s incredibly shy. She’s not used to socializing, so we didn’t push her to join us at our engagement party," she explained.I didn’t respond, just continued to stare at her. It was clear that Poppy was shy when I met her that night—she seemed reluctant to talk to me. I only heard her voice when she mentioned her name, but then she quickly left with her food."She’d rather stay cooped up in her room than mingle," Mrs. Herald added with a sigh, turning to Chloe. "Chloe, call Poppy so you can introduce her to your fiancé. She might as well join us for dinner."Chloe nodded immediately. "Yes, Mom." Then she stood up from her chair and glanced at me to say goodbye before heading out.I was left in silence with Chloe’s parents. Mrs. Herald continued talking about how shy Poppy had been since childhood, mentioning that she grew up with no playmates because she rarely left the mansion.A fe

CHAPTER EIGHT: POPPY'S CONDITION✧FAITH ZEICAN LEE✧Chloe is happily chatting with my family in the living room. After our dinner date, we decided to visit here since my mom had previously requested that I bring Chloe over. When I mentioned it to Chloe, she was more than happy to come along.Chloe has been here for almost an hour now, deep in conversation with my mom. My dad sits beside her but rarely chimes in, much like the rest of us who can’t really relate to their beauty talk. Chloe will be launching a new cosmetics product soon, under her own brand, CHLOE'S, and I can’t help but feel proud that her name will be on it.“I hope we get to meet Poppy next time.” Hope’s sudden comment brought a silence over the room. He was sitting with Love and Summer, but like Dad, they haven’t said much since they can't really join in on the beauty product conversation either.Chloe glanced at me for a moment, clearly puzzled as to how Hope knew about Poppy, but she quickly smiled at me before tur

CHAPTER TEN: CHARMING VISITOR; POPPY.✧FAITH ZEICAN LEE✧Friday.6:03 P.M.Chloe had just arrived at the office, bypassing her usual pizza delivery and instead bringing iced coffee and fries. It had become a routine for her to stop by after her shifts at Herald Enterprise.“Good news?” Her wide smile was evident as she placed the food in front of me, having already moved to the sofa in the middle of the office. My desk was cluttered with documents and my laptop, leaving little room. “I’ve talked to Mom and Dad about Poppy.” She settled into the chair opposite me, the coffee table between us now holding our snacks. “They agreed. But I’ll have to stay with Poppy because she’s not used to being alone in unfamiliar places. Mom and Dad are worried about that.”“How about Poppy? Did she agree to go out?” I asked, intrigued.She nodded. “She didn’t know we were coming to your place. I told her we were just going out together, so she agreed.”“You should have been honest with her. She might g
