Chapter 1703:
With a playful grin, she added, “Do you think we could be related somehow?”
Belinda laughed lightly. “Who knows? Maybe a few centuries ago, we were family!”
Barbara pouted teasingly. “Well, you are like a sister to me. Why didn’t we meet sooner?”
Belinda’s smile widened. “Fate’s funny like that. Speople you know for years stay strangers, but others, in
just weeks or months, make you feel like you can share your heart with them.”
Barbara beamed, nodding. “Exactly. Like Zaria—I've known her since we were kids, but | just can’t connect with
her. But with you, Belinda, I feel so comfortable, and I love hanging out with you.”
“I love spending twith you, too. When we get a chance, I'll introduce you to my two close friends for a meal,”
Belinda replied.
“Awesome!” Barbara chirped, her face lighting up.
Seeing Barbara so happy, Nalani felt her heart swell with emotion. It had been ages since her daughter looked
this happy. All of this was thanks to Belinda. She was truly grateful to her.

Johnson's eyes widened slightly, his gaze locking onto Lucas in silence.
Vincent, puzzled, leaned forward. “What's going on with Faye now?”
Lucas leaned forward, his voice low and deliberate. “Answerthis, Vincent. Do you reckon Faye has... feelings
for me?”
Vincent's jaw dropped, his eyes wide with shock. “What in the world?” For a moment, he questioned his own
ears, wondering if he’d misheard Lucas entirely.
Johnson, however, fixed Lucas with a steady, thoughtful stare, his brow creasing. Belinda must have said
something to spark this, Johnson thought, his mind racing. Otherwise, why would Lucas even ask such a thing?
Lucas’ gaze sharpened. “Con, Vincent. | need your take on this.”
Vincent rubbed the back of his neck,
his brows knitting together. “Well,
