Chapter 259:

A storm seemed to gather in his eyes, though he kept his thoughts to himself.

At that moment, Vincent fell unusually silent, a shadow passing over his face as he suddenly remembered

something important.

He had arranged this dinner gathering.

Earlier that morning, he had called Johnson to invite him to dinner at The Rooftop, but Johnson had declined,

claiming he already had plans.

Yet now, here Johnson was, seated at the very restaurant he had chosen, having a meal with Belinda and her

grandmother.

Vincent couldn’t help but think that...

Had Johnson planned this all along? Or had he deliberately chosen this place after hearing that Lucas would also

be dining here?

Vincent couldn't be sure, but the idea gnawed at him.

What Vincent didn’t know was that Johnson had indeed planned for this to happen.

After Vincent's invitation, Johnson had quickly decided to invite Belinda and Kenia for dinner at the same

restaurant, knowing full well Lucas would see them.

Of course, before finalizing the plan, Johnson had confirmed with Kenia that she wasn’t afraid of heights; only

then did he decide to dine at The Rooftop.

Johnson's efforts were deliberate and painstaking—aimed at making Lucas and Belinda realize their feelings for

each other.

between Johnson and Belinda? That can’t be right.” Her words dripped with feigned shock, as if she couldn't

possibly believe the absurd idea.

“Let’s just order now,” Vincent said at that moment, steering the conversation in another direction.

Ryan and Verena exchanged glances but chose not to pursue the topic further.

Throughout the meal, however, subtle glances were cast toward Belinda’s table.

The atmosphere at Belinda’s table was warm and lively.

Belinda, Kenia, and Johnson were chatting with smiles, their laughter ringing softly across the room.

Even with Lucas and his group seated nearby, they remained entirely unfazed, their conversation and joy

undisturbed.

It was evident that Kenia had taken a genuine liking to Johnson.

His natural charm and ability to make her laugh had Kenia smiling nonstop, her mood visibly lifted.

As for Belinda, she observed the two with an air of mild resignation, but the smile on her face never wavered,

reflecting her good mood.

After stime, Belinda excused herself and got up to head to the restroom.

When she stepped out of the restroom and began walking back, her pace slowed as she looked up and spotted

Lucas standing not far away.

She froze for a moment, her breath catching as their eyes met.

Lucas turned his head just as Belinda emerged from the restroom, his gaze locking onto hers.
