NovelGoldChapter 1426:
“Alright, I got it!” Lucas replied with a sheepish nod.
He leaned in for a kiss, but Belinda swiftly blocked his mouth with her hand, wrinkling her nose. “You smell like
alcohol! It’s overwhelming. Shower first.”
Lucas propped himself up, sniffed his shirt, and grimaced at the smell. Still, as he climbed out of bed, he darted
back to press a quick kiss on her cheek. “Stinky or not, you're getting this kiss!”
Before she could swat at him, he bolted to the bathroom.
Belinda shook her head, half-annoyed, half-amused, fighting the urge to get back at him.
After freshening up, Lucas headed to work.
With the day off, Belinda dialed Bethany to see if she was free for lunch.
Bethany agreed, and at noon, Belinda drove to the restaurant. When she reached their reserved private room,
Bethany hadn't yet arrived.
Belinda ordered and waited. Moments later, Bethany walked in and took a seat.
“So, what's up? Got something juicy to share?” Bethany asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBelinda laughed, shaking her head. “Nope, | just wanted to have lunch with you. That's all.”
Bethany pouted. “Here | was hoping for sspicy gossip.”
Then, as if struck by a thought, she leaned forward. “Actually, there's something I've been wanting to ask you.”
“What is it?” Belinda asked, intrigued.
“What's Faye’s deal?” Bethany asked, her tone earnest. “I haven't spent much twith her before, so I'm not
sure what she was like in the past. But from what | saw at Nostalgia Lounge that day, it feels like she... doesn’t
know how to respect boundaries.”
She hesitated, her brows knitting slightly before adding, “She knows Lucas has a girlfriend, so why does she act
so overly chummy with him?”

She pursed her lips for a moment and said, “Last night, Lucas got drunk and calledto pick him up. By
chance, | ran into Faye in the parking lot. And then...”
