?Chapter 1324:


    “No need,” Lucas said with a small smile. “She’s right here with me. I’ll tell her this.”


    Harold chuckled. “Perfect. If she’s free tonight too, then both of you shoulde home for dinner.”


    “Okay.”


    After ending the call, Lucas turned to Belinda and ryed the invitation.


    “Did Harold mention what it’s about?” Belinda asked.


    Lucas shook his head. “No.”


    Belinda gave a thoughtful nod. “Alright. We’ll find out tonight.”


    After work, Lucas and Belinda drove to the rk family estate.


    Once they arrived, they soon made their way into the house.


    “Wee home, Mr. rk, Ms. Wright,” Hooper greeted them warmly.


    Lucas gave a curt nod of acknowledgment.


    Just as he opened his mouth to speak, a sudden rush of wind swept through the foyer.


    Before Lucas could react, something—no, someone—hurled themselves onto him.


    The unexpected turn of events startled both Lucas and Belinda.


    Instinctively, Lucas raised his arms and pushed the figure away. A dull thud echoed through the room, followed by a dramatic gasp of pain.


    Belinda and Lucas turned to see a woman sprawled on the floor, her expression twisted as she winced in pain.


    “Uncle Lucas, is that really how you wee me after all these years?” she said.


    Lucas froze at the sound of the voice. He took a few seconds to get a closer look, and when he recognized the woman on the floor, his face broke into a smile.

    “Faye! You’re back?” He reached out as he spoke, helping Faye Sandoval to her feet.


    Faye rubbed her sore backside as she straightened up.


    “Yeah, I just got back today,” she replied with a pout.


    “I wanted to surprise you, but clearly, I failed. You pushed me so hard just now. It hurts, you know!”


    Lucas chuckled.


    “Well, you were too fast. I didn’t even get to see who it was before you lunged at me. I only acted on instinct.”


    Faye pursed her lips.


    “Think about it, Uncle Lucas. Who else, apart from me, would dare hug you like that?”


    Lucas didn’t answer her question and simply said,


    “Just don’t do that again.”


    It was then that Faye noticed Belinda standing beside Lucas.


    Her face lit up with a smile.
