Chapter 1272: When Lucas and Belinda arrived at the restaurant's private room, Darwin was already there, waiting for them.
Darwin's expression froze as Belinda and Lucas walked in together, dressed in matching outfits.
While others might find the sight charming, Darwin felt displeased upon seeing this.
For a moment, an impulsive urge to strip Lucas of his matching outfit with Belinda surged within him.

"Belinda, Mr. Clark, you're here. Please, have a seat," he said with a smile as he stood up.
After they were seated and had placed their orders, Belinda said, “Darwin, Lucas and I should cover this meal. We intended to treat you after your discharge from the hospital, but unfortunately, other matters got in the way, and we forgot about it. We're sorry about that. Let us pay for the meal today." Darwin, however, dismissed her offer with a casual smile. "We're all friends here. It doesn't matter who pays. I invited you out today, so letpay for the meal," he said.
Belinda hesitated, her mouth parting as if to object, but then she thought better of it, deciding not to dwell on the matter.
She said nothing further, implicitly agreeing to let Darwin pay for the meal.
Lucas furrowed his brow slightly, giving Darwin a meaningful look. Since Darwin insisted on paying this time, Belinda and he would need to treat Darwin to a meal after returning to Owathe.
This would naturally provide another occasion for Darwin to meet with Belinda.
Lucas couldn't help but sneer at the thought. Darwin was clearly doing this on purpose.
The waiter soon cto serve their meal.

Belinda pressed her lips together.
She had thought Darwin had invited Zaria, but now it appeared Zaria had shown up uninvited.
Zaria's smile remained intact. "What a coincidence! I was just being seated when the waiter ppened Your door with the dishes, and I saw you. I'm familiar with both you and Belinda. Since I'm dining alone today, I wondered if I could join you."

"We're not close enough for you to do this," Darwin responded coldly, m rejecting Zaria. Yet, Zaria didn't show any sign of discomfort or offense.
