Chapter 568



“I understand. Don’t worry; it won’t happen again,” Holley assured him.

She wouldn’t do anything reckless again.

She had already drawn Belinda’s suspicion and received a stern warning from Lucas.

How could she dare repeat the same mistake?

Baker said nothing more and ended the call.

Holley remained seated, letting out a long sigh.

Belinda was incredibly fortunate!

How had she managed to captivate Lucas so thoroughly?

In the evening, at a local restaurant, Belinda arrived punctually.

Upon arrival, she noticed someone already waiting.

Belinda approached the man. “Mr. Davidson?”

At the sound of Belinda’s voice, Devin looked up abruptly.

When he saw her strikingly beautiful face, his expression brightened into a warm smile.

He stood and extended his hand. “Hello, Ms. Wright. I’m Devin.”

“Hello,” Belinda responded, shaking his hand.

Devin had a striking appearance with a subtle charm.

His smile was as warm as the morning sunlight.

The gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose added a touch of sophistication to his demeanor.

As he sat back down, Devin stole another glance at Belinda.

His expression remained neutral, but internally, he was quietly thrilled.

Belinda…

They had finally met again!

Devin realized the importance of grasping this rare chance.

He mused… Maybe luck was on his side this time.

After Devin and Belinda placed their orders, Belinda said, “Mr. Davidson, I’ll get straight to the point. I’m not looking for a relationship right now. It’s just that I couldn’t refuse Harold. That’s why I came here today.”

“I understand,” Devin replied with a smile. “Ms. Wright, you’ve just ended things with Lucas. It’s only natural you’re not ready to date someone new. I get it. Today, I didn’t expect us to start anything romantic. But I do hope we can be friends. You wouldn’t object to that, right?”

Devin’s tone was soothing, like a gentle breeze, putting Belinda at ease.

“Of course, I would love to be friends with you,” Belinda responded.
