FakeNovelChapter 1392:
After a moment's thought, Belinda made up her mind. “Alright, I'm free tonight,” she said.
Darwin's voice carried a hint of delight. “Great! I'll book a place and let you know soon.”
“Sure,” Belinda replied.
After the call, she texted Lucas about her dinner plans with Darwin. Lucas, predictably, was upset. It took some
effort for Belinda to soothe him, and she ended up agreeing to one of his absurd demands to comfort him.
Thinking back on his brazen request, Belinda felt her cheeks warm. She mentally grumbled about Lucas before
setting her phone down, returning to her office, and diving back into work.
Later that evening, after wrapping up work, Belinda drove to the restaurant Darwin had chosen.
“Belinda, you're here!” Darwin rose from the sofa as she arrived, his smile warm and welcoming.
Belinda nodded, and they walked to their table together.
Belinda spoke first. “Lettreat you tonight. You've been out of the hospital for a while, and | haven't treated

Darwin chuckled. “We're friends; there's no need to be so formal. | know you've been swamped, so it's no issue
if you haven't had tto have a meal with me. But I'm paying tonight. The last t| treated you and Mr. Clark
to a meal in Soling, it didn’t end well. So tonight, | want to make up for it and apologize to you.”
Belinda seemed unfazed by the incident. If Darwin hadn't mentioned it, she might have forgotten it entirely.
Waving it off, she said casually, “It's no big deal. Like you said, we're friends. No need for apologies.”
“Good to know you're not upset about that,” Darwin said.

After a brief pause, he looked at Belinda. “Belinda, is there skind of conflict between you and Mr. Clark?” he
asked cautiously.
Belinda blinked, caught off guard. “Huh? No, not at all. Why would you think that?”
Seeing no trace of hesitation or unease in her expression, Darwin realized there was truly no rift between Belinda
and Lucas. A wave of disappointment surged within him. He had secretly hoped for a serious fallout, maybe even
a breakup. But he had been wrong.
After a moment, Darwin explained,
“Didn't Mr. Clark recently issue a
statement barring panies fro

thought the matter might be tied to a
