Chapter 1439:
“Certainly not,” Lucas answered instantly. “Belinda is.”
Faye paused, then sighed tically. “I meant except her, of course.”
Her question only deepened Lucas’ confusion. “Faye, what are you getting at?”
Faye took a deep breath, then spoke up. “It's Mr. James and Belinda,” she admitted. “They both toldto be
more mindful of boundaries. That | shouldn't be so close to you anymore.”
Her voice betrayed a quiet complaint as she continued, “But | don’t get it. You're my uncle. We're family! Why
can’t we be close like before? It doesn’t make any sense.”
Lucas’s eyes flickered slightly as he listened to her words.
“Belinda and Vincent are right,” he replied evenly. “You're not a child anymore, Faye. Naturally, things can’t stay
the sbetween us. And since Belinda and Vincent have pointed this out to you, instead of running to me, you
should be changing your behavior.”
His gaze sharpened, eyes narrowing with a warning edge. “What? Did you chere to complain toabout
the matter?”

In truth, that was exactly why she had come, but after hearing Lucas say it like that, she didn’t dare admit it.
She lowered her gaze, chewing her lip lightly before forcing a small shake of her head. “No, of course not,” she
muttered. “I just... wanted to talk about it with you. | thought you'd understand. | thought you'd be on my side,
but...”
Lucas’s chiseled features hardened further as he replied firmly, “Faye, you're a grown woman now. These are
things you should already be aware of without needing someone else to point them out for you. After that night
at the Nostalgia Lounge, | wanted to have this conversation with you, but the timing never felt right. Since
you've brought it up now, letbe very clear: you need to be mindful of boundaries between us from now on.”
Faye lowered her head, her face a mixture of disappointment and frustration. “Alright,” she muttered.

Then, as if a thought had just dawned on her, she looked up at Lucas, her brows furrowing in confusion. “But...
Uncle Lucas, | just don’t understand. Back when you and Belinda were married, | behaved exactly the sway
around you. Neither of you had a problem with it at that time. But now... now that you're just dating, why does it
suddenly matter?”
Lucas didn’t hesitate. “Because back then,” he said calmly, “I didn’t care about Belinda. She was only my wife in
name. Nothing more.”
