Chapter 766



“I’ll drive tomorrow. I’ll pick you two up,” Johnson said.

“Fantastic,” Bethany replied.

After ending the group call, Belinda pondered for a moment before dialing Catherine’s number.

“Hello, Belinda,” Catherine answered cheerfully.

“Catherine, are you free tomorrow and the day after?” Belinda asked.

Catherine contemplated briefly before responding, “Yeah, I think so.”

Belinda’s face lit up with a radiant smile. “That’s wonderful! Then come with me, Bethany, and Johnson to the hot spring resort tomorrow!”

Catherine hesitated for a moment. “But Belinda, will Johnson be unhappy seeing me?”

Hearing Catherine’s concerns made Belinda feel slightly resigned. How could Johnson possibly be unhappy seeing Catherine?

“Don’t worry; he won’t. Trust me,” Belinda stated confidently, hoping to alleviate Catherine’s worries.

“Alright then,” Catherine replied. “I will go with you.”

“You can leave at nine tomorrow morning with Johnson,” Belinda said.

“Okay,” Catherine said before hanging up.

After hanging up the phone, Belinda returned to the rest area for her lunch break.

The following day, once everyone was settled in the car, they set off for Crystalhill with high spirits.

Noticing Catherine seated comfortably in the passenger seat, Bethany winked at Belinda in secret.

Belinda smiled knowingly.

Although they hadn’t intended to meddle in Catherine and Leland’s relationship directly, they had created opportunities for Catherine and Johnson whenever feasible.

Crystalhill wasn’t too far away; after a two-hour drive filled with animated conversations and laughter, they finally arrived at their destination—a picturesque resort nestled amidst nature’s beauty. After the car was parked, Belinda began retrieving luggage from the trunk when Bethany suddenly nudged her gently with her elbow.

Belinda turned her head in confusion but quickly followed Bethany’s gaze. There—just a short distance away—were Lucas and Vincent emerging from their car.

Belinda paused for a moment, stunned.

It was no surprise that Johnson was the one who had asked Lucas to come here.

As Bethany helped Belinda with her luggage, she whispered, “I have to admit, you and Johnson are in sync this time, both wanting to surprise each other!”

Belinda’s smile was tight, her eyes betraying her lack of amusement. “This isn’t the kind of surprise I enjoy.”

Bethany chuckled but didn’t say anything more.

Just then, Lucas and Vincent approached them.

“We had some free time, so Lucas and I decided to join the fun,” Vincent said, grinning.

Belinda couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

Seriously?
