Chapter 1369
Belinda made her needs clear. “Nah, I ain’t going home; take me to Crescent Society.”
Upon hearing Crescent Society, Byran was all ears. “Why on earth are you heading there this early?”
Recalling her last phone call with Jacob yesterday, Belinda felt a bit ticked off and wanted to clear the air with him.
“I’m off to meet someone; got some stuff to sort out.”
The driver started the car slowly. “Sir, do you want me to drop you off at school first, or should I take Ms. Wesley to
Crescent Society first?”
Crescent Society was closer than Byran’s school.
Without hesitation, Byran replied, “I’ve got time; drop her off first.”

The car headed towards Crescent Society.
Byran, arms crossed like a kid, guessed. “I bet you’re going to Crescent Society to see Chase, right?”
Hearing Chase’s name made Belinda’s brow furrow unconsciously. “No! It’s none of your business; stop guessing.”
Byran eyed her sideways. “Alright, you’re still playing coy; I saw it coming; you’ve fallen for Chase, haven’t you?”
Belinda glared at him. “I’m not playing coy. I’m not going there to see Chase.”
Byran chuckled. “Then who are you going to see? I won’t make fun of you for liking Chase. Actually, I’d be pretty
pleased. If you and Chase get together, I’d feel more
at ease.”
Belinda was puzzled. “You’d feel at ease?”
Byran blushed a little but kept his gaze on her. “Because of my girlfriend, Ida. She’s been living with Chase, and it’s
been bothering me. Chase is no good; he seems flippant. I hope you can distract him soon and keep him away from
Ida.”.
Belinda made a face and said loudly, “I think you’re overthinking! They’re like family; they’ve been together since
they were kids. Nothing like what you’re worrying about will happen. No matter how flippant Chase is, he’s
principled. He’s not as bad as you think.”
Byran stared at her wide-eyed. “Oh! And you said you didn’t like him? I just mentioned he seemed flippant, and
you’re mad? Isn’t that because you like him?”
Belinda was at a loss for words. “You…”
Byran had a smug look on his face. “Did I hit the nail on the head? You’re mad, right? Typical!”

Ida at the entrance through the car window.
“Byran, I think you’re the one getting ahead of yourself. You claim to be Ms. Gipson’s boyfriend, but I bet she
doesn’t see you that way.”
Byran crossed his arms confidently. “What a joke! Me, get ahead of myself? Ida likes me; I like her; what else could
we be if not boyfriend and girlfriend?”
Belinda pointed towards the car window behind him with a frown. “Maybe you should take a look outside the car
window before you speak.”
“Look at what?” Byran felt Belinda was messing with him, but he looked anyway. His handsome face froze, his
pupils dilated, and his jaw clenched.
Outside the entrance of Crescent Society, Ida was standing with a man; their behavior suggested intimacy as they
were chatting.
