Chapter 1560

“I should be asking you that question,” Belinda replied coolly, wiping her hand with a damp napkin. Her gaze held a quiet edge. “The glass you were about to drink from? That’s Lucas’. Where’s your drink, Faye? Why do you have to drink his?”

Without another word, Belinda reached out and took Lucas’ drink from Faye’s hand.

Hearing this, both Bethany and Catherine furrowed their brows, turning to look at Faye.

Faye nodded and said, “Uh, I know! I just wanted to try it and see what Uncle Lucas’ drink tastes like.”

Belinda was shocked and appalled, while Bethany was quite convinced that Faye had lost her mind.

Catherine was also taken aback by Faye’s words.

All three women shared similar expressions of shock and disbelief. Faye’s reply, as well as her brazen attitude, had rendered them momentarily speechless.

After a while, Bethany was the first to break. “If you wanted to try that drink, then why didn’t you just order your own? Why did you have to drink from Lucas’ glass? What, is his drink extra mellow or something? What makes it so special?”

Faye waved her hand dismissively and shook her head. “No, no, you don’t understand. You see, Uncle Lucas and I… Well, we used to do this kind of thing all the time when we were kids, so I was simply acting on instinct and—”

“When you were kids?” Bethany interjected. “Listen to me very carefully, Faye. You need to accept the fact that you are an adult now! Stop using your childhood as an excuse every time you go out of line. You should really act your age!”

Her tone was biting.

Belinda chose not to say anything, but her face had considerably darkened.

She was unhappy after hearing Faye’s words about how she and Lucas had always acted that way when they were young. Did that mean that they had shared the same glass all the time when they were kids? The very idea made her stomach churn.

Even Catherine couldn’t help but say, “Faye, you’re already in your twenties. You should really know better. Drinking from someone else’s cup—that’s something only couples do. You may be Lucas’ niece, but what you just did is still very inappropriate.”

Faye’s expression turned stiff with embarrassment.

After a long pause, she finally turned to Belinda and said, “I’m sorry, Belinda. It was just… instinctive. Like I said, Lucas and I used to do it all the time, so it felt normal at the moment. I was wrong; I acted without thinking. Please don’t be mad at me. I promise I won’t do it again.”

Her face was filled with remorse as she spoke, and her tone was earnest.

But whether she truly understood her error or recognized the root of the problem, only she knew.

Belinda didn’t bother responding, nor did her expression lighten up.

Faye opened her mouth to say more when a deep voice echoed.

“What’s going on here?”
