Chapter 1532
Faye didn’t answer. Complex emotions simmered in her eyes.
Kane reached out and gently patted her shoulder. His voice softened. “Don’t take it too hard. Lucas loves Belinda. Of course, he would consider her feelings first. But you’ll find someone who’ll put you first, too, one day.”
A subtle flicker passed through Faye’s eyes. Her jaw tensed ever so slightly.
After a while, she inhaled, raised her head, and managed a smile. “I understand, Uncle Kane. Really, I’m fine. I won’t dwell on it. Besides… I’m truly happy for them.”
Kane gave a nod. “It’s good that you see it that way.”
“I’ll head back now,” Faye said.
“Alright,” Kane replied.
With a small wave, Faye turned and walked away, her steps composed. Kane watched her leave, a subtle, meaningful smile appearing on his lips.
He was well aware of Faye’s feelings towards Lucas.
Faye might believe she’d hidden her feelings for Lucas perfectly, but Kane had seen through her long ago.
Something told him Faye might prove useful.
Moreover, he believed Faye was not as innocent and naive as she appeared on the surface.
That was precisely why he’d emphasized how much Lucas loved Belinda and how deep their bond ran in front of Faye.
He was certain that those words would evoke a strong reaction in Faye.
“Dad.”
At that moment, Enzo’s voice suddenly broke the silence.
Kane turned his head slowly, his eyes narrowing as they landed on his son.
“What were you talking about with Faye?” Enzo asked.
“Nothing important. Why are you here?” Kane deflected with ease. He had no intention of letting Enzo in on his manipulation of Faye. He knew better than to expect help from his son. If anything, the boy would find a way to ruin it.
Enzo didn’t press further for a response. Instead, he shifted topics with a question.
“Dad, can I ask you something? Do you have a plan to break up Lucas and Belinda? Their relationship’s getting stronger by the day.”
Kane shot him a glare, irritation flaring in his tone. “You think this is something I can do with a snap of my fingers? You’ve seen it yourself—their bond’s growing. Breaking them up won’t be easy.”
Enzo sighed heavily, his expression complicated, as if lost in thought.
Kane shot him a sideways glance. “What? Still hung up on Belinda?”
