Since he had asked, Belinda resolved to lay it all bare. She met his gaze and said, “Haven't you noticed how
much Faye relies on you? She has mentioned multiple times that you're biased, that you've changed, things like
that. And the cause of that shift, in her eyes, is me. So... if you look at it from her perspective, she might think
that if | were out of the picture, you would treat her the way you used to.”
After a pause, she added, “Of course, this is all just our theorizing. It might not be the reality.”
“I get what you're saying,” Lucas said, nodding gravely, his expression somber. After a brief pause, he continued,
“But Faye and I... we've been close since we were kids. | know her character. | can’t see her doing something like
that.”
Belinda wasn’t surprised by his response.
“I understand your perspective. That's exactly why | kept this from you before. First, it’s just a theory with no
proof. Second, | knew you would never suspect Faye. | didn’t want to burden you with this.”
Lucas’ distress deepened at her words. He looked at her intently, his brows furrowed. “Belinda, | appreciate you

won't hide anything from you. I'll share whatever's on my mind with you, no matter what.”
Lucas slid his arms around her waist, his mood still heavy. He didn’t say anything else.
Belinda cradled his handsface gently, leaning in to press a soft kiss to his lips. “Let's drop this for now. Shall
we finish our dinner?”
Lucas looked at her, his voice rough. “Kissagain.”
A smile broke across Belinda’s face. She leaned in once more, kissing him tenderly for a while. With Belinda’s
comforting kiss, Lucas’ mood indeed improved a bit.
