Chapter 936



She quickly greeted them with a polite nod, keeping her tone respectful. Nigel’s gaze landed on the neatly wrapped gift in her hands, and he sighed, shaking his head.

“You really didn’t need to bring anything.”

Belinda smiled, unfazed.

“It’s just a little something, nothing too extravagant.”

Once inside, she quickly noticed that apart from the household staff, only Nigel and Devin were there. They headed straight to the dining room.

As soon as they settled in, Nigel was the first to break the silence. His expression was solemn.

“Belinda, I owe you an apology for what happened the other day. I failed as a guardian; I didn’t raise my granddaughter properly.”

His words made Belinda uncomfortable. She quickly shook her head.

“Please don’t say that, Mr. Davidson. I was at fault, too.”

Even though Carmelita had been the one to provoke her, Belinda knew she shouldn’t have exposed her past in front of so many people.

“You did nothing wrong that day, Dr. Wright,” Devin finally spoke, his tone firm as he regarded her with unwavering seriousness.

Belinda offered a small smile.

“I can understand why Miss Davidson holds resentment toward me. I did once go on a blind date with Devin before. Given that, it’s only natural for her to dislike me.”

She glanced at Nigel and explained further, “From her perspective, I can see why she dislikes someone like me. After all, in her eyes, a woman born out of wedlock and previously divorced would never be good enough for her brother. So, of course, she resents me. Mr. Davidson, you can tell Miss Davidson that Devin and—”

Before she could finish what she was about to say, Nigel interjected, “Belinda, don’t talk about yourself like that.”

“Dr. Wright, you are really a great woman,” Devin added immediately, his gaze locked onto hers with an intensity that made Belinda a bit uneasy.

Belinda cleared her throat awkwardly.

“Thank you.”

With a warm smile, Nigel said, “Belinda, you and Devin should continue spending time together. Don’t concern yourself with Carmelita’s opinions.”

Belinda’s eyes widened in shock.

Continue spending time with Devin?

Wait—was there some kind of misunderstanding here?
