?Chapter 1539:


    Georgie’s lips twitched, her face crumpling in frustration. She inwardly cursed Lucas for being a selfish brat who would rather choose his girlfriend over his own sister.


    “I understand,” she muttered under her breath, not bothering to hide her displeasure.


    Harold gave her onest pointed look before turning away.


    As for Belinda, she didn’t dwell on her encounter with Georgie. She didn’t even bother mentioning it to Lucaster in the day.


    In her mind, it was a trivial matter, nothing worth ruining his mood over.


    Besides, Belinda was well aware of the close bond between Lucas and Georgie.


    So, when they had lunch together at noon, Belinda didn’t say a word about the incident.


    Halfway through the meal, however, Lucas received an unexpected call from Harold.


    “What’s going on?” Lucas asked Harold over the phone.


    Harold didn’t bother with small talk. “Tamara Wright called. She’s invited our family to dinner at their ce tomorrow night. I epted. Clear your evening tomorrow and bring Belinda. We’ll go together.”


    Lucas didn’t answer him directly. Instead, he turned toward Belinda and said, “Harold says we’re invited to dinner with the Wrights in Soling tomorrow. Are you free?”


    Belinda froze for a moment.


    The Wrights?


    She remembered that meal with Nni and Elwood; Elwood had mentioned something about inviting her to a meal.


    “I’m free,” Belinda said.


    The tales you love are at g?lnσν???s?c?m


    Only then did Lucas turn back to the phone. “Alright.”


    “Put me on speaker,” Harold said abruptly. “I want to talk to Belinda.”


    Lucas let out a small, resigned sigh but tapped the button.


    Harold’s voice came through the speaker, warm and familiar. “Belinda, you should visit Norma and me more often, you hear?”


    Belinda smiled and replied, “I will, Mr. rk.”


    “Good. Enjoy your meal. I won’t keep you.”


    “Goodbye, Mr. rk.”


    “Bye.”


    After the call ended, a soft smile lingered on Belinda’s face.


    She understood what Harold was really saying beneath those simple words.


    It was his way of letting her know that he was already aware of her conversation with Georgie, and he was on her side.


    Belinda appreciated it. After all, she had always believed Harold was the most clear-headed one in the rk family.
