Chapter 491



At the Davidson family’s residence, today marked a rare occasion as Devin, Nigel’s eldest grandson, left the school laboratory to join the family for dinner. During the meal, Nigel said to Devin, “Devin, Harold wants to introduce you to someone. Are you interested?”

“Really?” Devin’s father, the head of the family, was momentarily taken aback by the news. “Who is it that Harold wants to introduce? Do we know her?” inquired Devin’s mother, Lois Davidson.

Nigel responded directly, “You’ve all met her before. She is Lucas’ ex-wife, Belinda.”

“What? Belinda?”

“That’s absurd!”

“How could this be?”

Devin’s parents and sister all reacted with disbelief. Yet, the mention of Belinda sparked a glint of interest in Devin’s eyes.

Devin’s father turned to Nigel. “Dad! Harold must be joking, right? Why would he think to introduce his former daughter-in-law to Devin? It’s too…”

Nigel calmly replied, “Harold is serious. He holds his former daughter-in-law in high regard.”

“He even mentioned that Lucas was unfortunate to lose someone like Belinda.” After a pause, he continued, “But he only suggested the idea. Whether Devin wants to meet her is entirely up to him. I think it wouldn’t hurt for Devin to meet her. They don’t have to date; they could simply be friends.”

Lois immediately replied, “Meet her for what? There’s no point in that! Devin can do much better! Sure, Belinda is beautiful and capable, but her background is problematic! She is an illegitimate daughter, and she has been married before! She is not suitable for Devin at all!”

“Exactly! Belinda doesn’t deserve to be my sister-in-law,” Devin’s sister said with disdain.

But just then, Devin spoke up. “Grandpa, please arrange a time for me to meet Belinda.”

His words momentarily silenced the table.

“Devin, are you out of your mind?”

“Devin, what nonsense are you talking about?”

“Do you really want to meet her, Devin?” Nigel asked, clearly surprised. He had never expected his proud grandson to agree to this, yet here he was…

Devin nodded and replied, “Yes, please inform Harold that I’m available at any time.”

“Alright! I’ll call Harold later,” Nigel said, seeing that Devin was serious.

“Devin, what’s gotten into you? That Belinda, she…” Lois started, but Devin quickly cut her off.

“Mom, let’s just eat,” Devin said.

Lois was left speechless, her expression one of utter frustration.
