With a forced chuckle, Belinda responded, “Harold, isn’t that a little over the top?”

Immediately, Harold adopted a pitiful look. “I’m just feeling a bit lonely and thought it’d be nice if you and Lucas could keep me company more often. Is that unreasonable?” He embodied the image of a dejected elder now.

Both Lucas and Belinda didn’t know what to say.

With a heavy sigh that carried a tone of resignation, Harold continued, “Never mind, I understand. Young people like you wouldn’t want to stay with an old fellow like me. It’s okay; a bit of solitude won’t harm me—”

Unable to bear such words from Harold, Belinda quickly interjected, “Harold, I’ll move back here to keep you and Norma company.”

She only said she would move back, not mentioning Lucas. Moreover, she had planned to discuss her impending divorce from Lucas with Harold the following day, meaning her return to the Clark family home would be brief.
