Chapter 635



She led Devin to their usual meeting spot.

“What do you want to talk to me about?” Belinda asked.

“I want to apologize for what my sister said to you last night,” Devin said with a sincere expression. “I am terribly sorry, Miss Wright. Please forgive my sister.”

Belinda was caught off guard. She hadn’t expected Devin to apologize to her like this.

“There’s no need for you to do this, Mr. Davidson,” Belinda quickly said.

Devin responded, “Carmelita has been spoiled by our family since her childhood. She can be a little too headstrong sometimes. But I already gave her a stern lecture last night. I hope you can excuse her behavior, Dr. Wright.”

“Mr. Davidson, this is truly unnecessary. I took no offense from my conversation with your sister, nor do I blame her in any way,” Belinda reassured him.

She was being honest—the matter hadn’t bothered her in the slightest, and Carmelita’s words held no weight to her whatsoever. She also understood that Carmelita had only said those things because she was looking out for her brother. She didn’t really see anything wrong with that.

“But you should be upset with her. She was horribly rude to you,” Devin said.

Belinda smiled. “Her tone was a bit harsh, I’ll admit. But she didn’t say anything wrong. She is your sister, and it’s perfectly normal for her to be concerned about you.”

“Who doesn’t want their family to be happy and loved? From her perspective, a divorcee like me isn’t a suitable match for you, and she is entitled to that opinion.”

“That’s not true, Dr. Wright,” Devin quickly said. “You’re amazing. Please don’t belittle yourself like this.” His tone was earnest.

Belinda blinked at him, a bit startled, before chuckling under her breath. “Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Mr. Davidson.”

“My sister and I are at fault this time,” Devin said. “Please allow me to treat you to a meal as an apology.”

Belinda replied, “There really is no need for that.” However, Devin was persistent. “Please, Dr. Wright. Just allow me to do this for you.”

He stared at Belinda without blinking, making her feel a bit uneasy. She bit her lip and thought about the matter, ultimately giving in. “Alright, then.”

Devin’s face broke into a smile. “Thank you, Dr. Wright. Well, I won’t bother you any longer. Let’s make arrangements later, shall we?”

“Sure thing,” Belinda replied.

Devin had achieved his purpose, so he soon left.

Once he was out of sight, Belinda also turned to leave, but Kylee suddenly appeared and stepped in her way.

Belinda frowned. “What do you want?” she asked impatiently.

“I’m just here to check on you, Belinda. I was so relieved to know you were safe during last night’s debacle,” Kylee feigned concern as she stepped closer to Belinda.
