Chapter 1336:
Faye stood up at once with a bright smile. "Belinda! I was bored out of my mind at home and didn't know what to do, so I called Uncle Lucas and asked if I could come over and spend some time with you. He said yes and brought me here."
As she finished her explanation, she slipped her arm through Belinda's with endearing familiarity and added with a teasing grin, "You're not going to kick me out, are you?"
Belinda smiled. "Of course not."
She gently withdrew her arm and motioned for Faye to sit down. "Make yourself comfortable."
"Okay!" Faye beamed, plopping back down with a cheerful bounce. Belinda glanced around. "Where's Lucas?" she asked, noticing his absence.
Faye answered without hesitation, "Uncle Lucas is buried in work; he's in the study."
Belinda frowned, visibly displeased. "He's not exactly the most considerate host, leaving you out here all alone..."
But Faye just waved a hand and replied brightly, "Oh, that's alright. I'm not a guest here; I'm your family."
Belinda offered a quiet smile, saying nothing in response.
Faye said, "I've spent years either overseas or in Soling, so here in Owathe, I'm completely friendless. It's honestly pretty isolating. Belinda, would it be okay if I started hanging out with you and your friends?"
Her eyes carried a pleading, almost pitiful look.
Belinda said, "You're welcome to join us, but to be honest, we're not exactly the type to go out partying all the time."
"That's perfect! You're amazing!" Faye's face lit up as she hooked her arm through Belinda's with a gleeful grin.
After a brief silence, she added, "You know, when Mom told me you and Uncle Lucas got divorced, I felt sad. From the bottom of my heart, I've always thought you and Uncle Lucas were made for each other."

"Oh? Is that so?" Belinda arched an eyebrow, her smile playful. "What makes you think Lucas and I are such a great pair? At that time, people didn't exactly see me as his ideal match."
Faye said, "That's just because they don't know you! I care about what's inside, not just looks. I can see how much you love Uncle Lucas and how well you treat him."
Belinda blinked thoughtfully. "But Verena loves him too."

Faye's expression soured instantly. "Ugh, don't even mention her. From m the moment she and Uncle Lucas a together, I knew it wouldn't last. I could just tell she's bad news. I can't stand her." The content is on

It was true; she knew Faye had never
warmed to Verena. When she had
married Lucas, Faye had been m genuinely kind to her, never once acting superior or questioning if she was worthy to be Lucas' wife. Reflecting on this, Belinda felt a pang of guilt for not being more welcoming to Faye in return. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
