NovelXXXChapter 1398:
He didn’t even spare Ryan a glance.
Ryan's face turned pale. He opened his mouth to say something to defend himself but eventually said nothing.
Not to be deterred, Faye shamelessly squeezed in next to Lucas, forcing Johnson to move aside. She held his arm
and shook it playfully.
“Con, Uncle Lucas. | know that you had a falling out with Ryan. | get that you don’t want anything to do with
him. But Ryan is here as my friend. Can't you dothis one favor and let him sit with us? You don’t even have
to talk to him.”
Lucas frowned, saying nothing.
Faye eagerly took his silence as consent and waved Ryan over. “Sit down!”
Ryan swallowed his pride and settled down next to Vincent.
The atmosphere in the booth turned tense at the arrival of Ryan and Faye, and for one long moment, no one
spoke.
Faye cocked her head to the side and blinked curiously at Lucas. “So, Uncle Lucas, what were you guys talking

“Nothing much,” Lucas replied, unwilling to mention anything about Belinda’s matter.
Instead of pressing him further, Faye turned her attention to Belinda. “Belinda, how is your wrist now? I'm really
sorry about the other day. | didn’t mean for you to get hurt. | thought a lot about what you said and cto the
realization that | truly was in the wrong. Don’t worry; it won't happen again!”
Her tone echoed with genuine sincerity, but Belinda’s reaction was far from pleasant. Her brows knitted into a
deep frown.
Faye had promised to keep her secret and not tell Lucas about the incident. At the time, Belinda had told Faye
that Lucas was aware of her meeting with Darwin, yet here Faye was, deliberately bringing the matter up with all
of them present. It was as if she were trying to see if Belinda had been telling the truth about Lucas already
knowing.
Maybe Faye didn’t mean it that way, or maybe she truly cared about her and just wanted to apologize. Either
way, Belinda still felt displeased.

“It's fine,” she replied with a calm expression.
Bethany leaned over in concern and asked, “Wait, what happened, Belinda? Did you hurt your wrist?”
Before Belinda could respond, Faye was already dismissively waving her head. “No, no, it was just a small mix-
up, all cleared up now!”
The moment Faye finished, Lucas swiveled his head, fixing her with a stern look. “Make sure it doesn’t happen
again!”

of astonishment crossing her face.
