Chapter 1325:
“Belinda, long time no see! You’ve become so beautiful now.”
“Hello, Faye,” Belinda greeted her with a smile.
Faye was the daughter of Georgie Clark, Lucas’ half-sister. She had been studying in Chixdon for years and rarely returned home. Belinda’s relationship with Faye was decent enough. Back when Belinda had still been married to Lucas, Faye had always been courteous and respectful to her.
Because of this, Belinda had a generally favorable impression of Faye.
Faye’s behavior just now, however… She had quite literally thrown herself at Lucas, and Belinda couldn’t help but feel a twinge of displeasure.
“Let’s head inside,” Lucas said.
With that, the three of them entered the living room together.
“Faye, did I hear you shouting in pain just now?” Georgie asked.
“What happened?”
“Oh, it’s nothing! I tried to hug Uncle Lucas like I usually did, but he pushed me away. I ended up falling on my bum.” Faye plopped down beside her mother and rested her head on her shoulder.
“It hurts a lot,” she said with a pitiful expression.
Her father, Atticus Sandoval, reprimanded her, saying,
“Faye, you’re an adult now. And your uncle has a girlfriend. You should stop acting like a little kid around him and be mindful of boundaries. Do you understand?”
But Georgie was quick to counter his remark.
“What does it matter that she’s an adult now? Lucas is still her uncle. Why can’t she be close to him like before?”
Just then, Harold spoke up.
“Atticus has a point. Faye is older now. It’s high time she acted her age.”

Since Harold had spoken, Georgie couldn’t argue further, though she was displeased.
“Well, now that everyone is here, let’s eat, shall we?” Harold clapped his hands and changed the subject.
The group went to the dining hall.
Faye was her sweet and cheery self throughout the meal.
“Have some shrimp, Uncle Lucas,” she said as she placed a piece on Lucas’ plate.
“Thanks, but I don’t eat seafood anymore,” Lucas said calmly, pushing the shrimp to the edge of his plate.
Faye was surprised.
“What? Why? You used to love shrimp!”
“Belinda can’t eat seafood because of her allergy, so I’ve cut it out of my diet, too,” Lucas said, carefully removing the shrimp from his dish and setting it aside on a separate plate.
Since discovering Belinda’s seafood allergy, Lucas had entirely given up eating it himself.
Faye blinked in surprise.
