Now that Carola had said that, what more could she say? All she could do was offer a strained smile and reply,
“Alright, Carola, | won't bring it up again.”
And with that, the matter was dropped, with no further mention made.
After dinner, everyone settled onto the sofa, engaging in light conversation.
Belinda, however, was already thinking of an excuse to leave.
That was when Kylee, with a mischievous glint in her eye, suddenly spoke up. “Belinda, Lillie mentioned wanting
to go to a bar. Why don’t we accompany her to Nostalgia Lounge right now? What do you think?”
Baker, sensing an opportunity to keep the mood light, said, “That's a good idea. You're just sitting around here
now. Go out and enjoy yourselves. I'll cover the expenses.”
Belinda hesitated for only a moment.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHaving already refused Madonna, Belinda knew it would seem a bit too cold to turn down Lillie’s invitation as
well. They were still family, after all, and there was no need to make things more awkward now.
With a soft sigh, she nodded in agreement. “Alright, let's go.”
So, Belinda and Kylee took Lillie to Nostalgia Lounge.
However, what Belinda hadn't expected was that as soon as they settled into their booth, they would run into
someone she knew...

“Fancy running into you here, Belinda!” Debra said, her face lighting up with genuine delight.
Belinda offered a polite nod but said nothing more.
“Belinda, who are they?” Kylee asked, scrutinizing both Debra and Percy. Their attire clearly indicated they were
from a wealthy or influential family.
Belinda spoke calmly. “They are relatives of Santino—Debra Thomas and Percy Thomas.”
At the mention of “Santino” and the surnThomas, both Kylee’s and Lillie’s eyes gleamed with surprise.
Kylee, ever the social one, was the first to speak to Debra and Percy. “Ms. Thomas, Mr. Thomas, it’s a pleasure to
meet you both. I'm Belinda’s sister, Kylee.”
She then gestured to Lillie. “This is our cousin, Lillie Barnett.”
“Nice to meet you both,” Lillie said, her tone polite.
After a brief pause, Kylee asked, “Ms. Thomas, Mr. Thomas, are you meeting someone here?”
“No, it's just the two of us,” Debra replied with a smile, her eyes flickering with something Belinda couldn't quite
place.
“Why don’t you join us, then? It’s always more fun with a bigger group!” Kylee suggested, her eyes sparkling
with excitement.

don’t mind, do you?”
Belinda’s expression darkened slightly, the weight of the situation settling in. What could she say now that the
invitation had already been made?
