Chapter 760

Chapter 760:
“It’s a surprise. But I think you’ll like it.” Darwin was being mysterious. Belinda didn’t respond right away. Her mind was on whether to tell Darwin about the matter of Minna. She believed she needed to tell him this.
After all, it was likely that Minna might approach Darwin next, and she felt it was necessary to warn him.
After a while, Belinda answered, “Alright. Let me know when you’ve decided on the place.”
“Okay,” Darwin replied before ending the call.
With the call ended, Belinda turned her attention back to her work.
The hours passed quickly, and soon, it was time for her to get off work. That evening, she drove to the restaurant Darwin had chosen. Unbeknownst to her, someone had been watching her. Malicious eyes followed her every step.
When Belinda stepped into the private dining room, she found Darwin already there, waiting for her.
Belinda quickly sat down. Without wasting time, she asked, “What is it you wanted to give me?”
Darwin reached for an elegant bag resting on the chair beside him and handed it to Belinda with a smile.
Curious, Belinda accepted the bag and opened it.
Her fingers brushed against the smooth fabric, and she pulled out a silk scarf.
The intricate pattern on the scarf caught her attention immediately. Recognition flashed in her eyes; it was identical to the one she had once used to wrap ice for that little girl.
Belinda glanced up at Darwin, her brows knitting together in confusion. She couldn’t quite piece together what he was trying to convey by giving her this.
Darwin’s smile deepened. “There’s more inside.”
Frowning slightly, Belinda peeked into the bag. Her fingers closed around something else, and she pulled out a painting. The moment her gaze landed on the painting, she froze.
It was a drawing of an angel with wings—delicate, yet clearly the work of a child.
At the bottom, in crooked handwriting, was a message. “Thank you for the ice. You are an angel.”
Belinda’s eyes softened as the pieces fell into place.
She looked at Darwin and asked, “Is this my silk scarf?”
Darwin smiled and nodded. “Yes. The drawing was made by that girl. Her parents had your scarf cleaned and carefully preserved for a while. Just a couple of days ago, the restaurant manager contacted me about it. I only managed to pick it up yesterday.”
“So that’s how it is,” Belinda said with a smile.
She hadn’t expected to get her silk scarf back.
Darwin said, “It’s like finding a lost treasure, right?”
Belinda smiled, nodding. “Yeah, the drawing’s actually pretty good. And look, the little girl called me an angel.”
Darwin chuckled. “Yes, you are an angel.”
As he spoke, a subtle fondness flickered in his eyes, an emotion he hadn’t even realized was there.
After carefully putting the scarf and drawing away, Belinda straightened up. Her face shifted to a more serious expression as she turned toward Darwin. “Actually, I need to tell you something.” She paused for a moment before continuing, “It’s about Minna.”
