Belinda raised a skeptical brow. “You can just tellnow.”

“This isn’t the right place for that conversation,” Lucas replied with a soft sigh, his tone tinged with mild

Upon hearing Lucas’ words and observing the subtle yet telling expression on his face, Belinda felt an

emotions.

Lucas watched her figure vanish down the corridor, his lips curling into a faint smile.

At the Hoffman family’s residence, in Johnson's room, the sound of knocking echoed.

Johnson approached the door and opened it.

Catherine was standing outside the door.

“Johnson! | prepared this soup just for you. Please don’t squander my efforts!” Catherine held up the steaming

bowl in her hands, tilting her head slightly as a radiant smile lit up her face.
