?Chapter 1403:


    Bethany scoffed. “I don’t think that was the case. Faye is not a child anymore.”


    Belinda gently squeezed Bethany’s hand. “Let’s drop the subject of her.”


    Bethany said, “Alright. Let’s go. I really need to use the restroom.”


    With that, they walked together toward the restroom.


    Belinda didn’t need to use the restroom, so after washing her hands, she lingered by the door, waiting for Bethany.


    As she reached for her phone to check something, a woman’s voice called out, “Ms. Wright?”


    Belinda nced up, turning toward the voice.


    “It’s really you!” Zaria’s face lit up with a warm smile, her eyes bright with delight.


    Belinda offered only a faint, polite smile in return.


    Zaria continued, her voice lively, “What a surprise! I never thought I would bump into you here.”


    “It is quite the coincidence,” Belinda replied.


    “I have a feeling we’ll cross paths more often now,” Zaria said.


    Belinda’s brow creased slightly. She was puzzled by thement. With a grin, Zaria exined, “I’ve been reassigned to the Owathe office for work. I’ll be staying here from now on.”


    “I see,” Belinda said with a slight nod, her tone neutral.


    Whether Zaria settled in Owathe or Soling was of no concern to her.


    Belinda had no curiosity about Zaria’s reasons for moving, but Zaria seemed eager to exin. She said, “Ms. Wright, you can probably guess why I chose to transfer to Owathe, can’t you?”


    “Not really. I’m not interested,” Belinda said with a faint smile.


    ??α???????? с????ρ???????? ??α??????ν??????﹒?????


    Zaria’s expression faltered briefly.


    But she quickly regained herposure, her voice casual. “I moved here for Darwin. I like him so much that I want to be as close to him as I can.”


    “Oh,” Belinda replied, nodding. “Then I wish you get what you want soon.”


    Zaria’s smile widened. “Thank you.”


    With a teasing tone, she added, “When Darwin and I are together, you’ll be the first to know.”


    Belinda’s brows furrowed slightly. She just opened her mouth to respond when Bethany emerged from the restroom.


    “Belinda,” Bethany called, then nced at Zaria with mild curiosity. “Who’s this?”


    “Zaria Wright,” Belinda said.


    “Another Wright?” Bethany’s eyes widened in surprise.


    Zaria said, “Yes, Belinda and I have the samest name.”


    Belinda had no desire to continue the conversation with Zaria. “We’re leaving now.”


    “All right,” Zaria replied, nodding without pushing further.
