?Chapter 1326:


    Even Belinda seemed momentarily stunned, her gaze settling on Lucas. As his words sank in, she suddenly realized that none of their recent meals together had included seafood.


    Initially, she had assumed Lucas had simply grown tired of it, never suspecting he had made the change for her sake.


    The thought warmed her heart.


    “But Belinda’s the one with the allergy, not you. You can still enjoy it!” Faye said with a yful wink.


    “No, thank you,” Lucas declined firmly, shaking his head.


    “Fine,” Faye said with a pout, dropping the subject and returning to her meal.


    A momentter, she looked at Belinda, her face lighting up with a smile tinged with envy.


    “Wow, Uncle Lucas is so thoughtful to Belinda! I am so envious!”


    Lucas turned to Belinda, his eyes softening with affection.


    Belinda met his gaze, a subtle smile spreading across her lips. Nearby, Harold and Norma shared a knowing look, their faces reflecting quiet approval.


    Partway through the meal, Georgie spoke up.


    “Lucas, since Faye has finished university, how about letting her intern at Triumph Consortium to get some real-world experience? What do you think?”


    “Sounds good,” Lucas answered promptly.


    It was a minor request, after all.


    But after a brief pause, he added,


    “If she’s there to learn, though, she should keep her connection to me a secret.”


    Georgie’s brow furrowed slightly, but before she could respond, Faye said,


    Every story starts at galn   ovels ;


    “Absolutely, Uncle Lucas! Don’t worry; I’m more than capable. I’ll prove myself with my own abilities and make you proud!” Her voice brimmed with confidence.


    Lucas gave a small smile and said nothing more.


    After the meal, the group moved to the living room for rxed conversation. Soon, Lucas stood up, ready to leave with Belinda. Faye tilted her head curiously.


    “Uncle Lucas, aren’t you staying at the family estate to spend time with Grandpa?”


    “I’m living at Belinda’s ce now,” Lucas replied, a warm smile on his face.


    Faye’s expression twisted into yful disapproval.


    “Uncle Lucas, isn’t that a bit… shameless?”


    Lucas chuckled softly.


    “You’re still young; you don’t understand this.” With that, he said his goodbyes and left with Belinda.


    As they departed, Georgie turned to Harold, her brow creased.


    “Dad, didn’t Lucas and Belinda get divorced?” she asked.


    Harold nodded.


    “They did. But they’re back together now.”


    “And what about Verena?” Georgie pressed.
