Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 372

Upon meeting tonight, they both felt an instant connection.

"Mr. Moore, Mrs. Lucinda, Darlene and I seem to have arrived late. We shall go in and apologize to Jason." Belinda said in a deep voice. Her statement ended the mutual complimentary comments made between Lucinda and Darlene.

Ike knew that the Bishop family and the Barlow family were old acquaintances. It wouldn't be appropriate to have Belinda chat with him first upon arrival. "President Bishop, why don't you and Ms. Darlene go in first? Lucy and I will stay out here a bit longer. We'll see you inside soon."

"See you soon."

Belinda nodded at Lucinda, then took her sister inside.

Once they had gone, Lucinda nudged her brother and chuckled, "Ike, after all this time you still call her 'President Bishop'? Can't you just call her 'Belinda'?" Ike replied, "Well. She doesn't like people call her that."

"She might not like others calling her 'Belinda', but maybe she'd like it if you called her that. You could try it. If she doesn't mind, it might bring you two closer." Considering his sister's advice, Ike thought it made sense. "I'll give it a try. If she reacts negatively, I'll just go back to calling her 'President Bishop'."

"She won't react negatively."

Lucinda confidently said, "From my observations, she has a liking for you. She mentioned you to her sister, and when she introduced Darlene to us, I noticed the way Darlene looked at you. She appraised you for quite a while. If Belinda hadn't mentioned you at home, Darlene wouldn't have taken an interest in you. She wouldn't have observed you that closely."

Lucinda tilted her head to look at her brother, uttering, "For Darlene, who's seen plenty of handsome men, you're not someone she'd fall for at first sight. So, it must be that Belinda often talks about you, which made Darlene take a longer look."

Ike laughed, "Is that true? Lucy, are you sure you didn't misread?"

He hadn't noticed the way Darlene looked at him. As soon as Belinda arrived, his attention was entirely on her.
