NovelOnlineChapter 1513: Algerone Swain was very displeased
Belinda hadn't expected Algerone to depart so suddenly, and she couldn't help but wonder what had upset him. This left her quite
frustrated, as it mirrored his inexplicable departure the last time. The gloom of her mood was palpable.
"Stop staring and just let him go. Con, let's eat sdumplings!" Belinda, suppressing her resentment, called out to the
young couple at the door.
Tristan took Monica's hand and ushered her into the living room. "Come, join your mother for dumplings." They sat at the dining
table, picking up their forks to restheir meal.
In an attempt to diffuse the tension and express his sincerity, Tristan spoke up, "Auntie, | appreciate your willingness to entrust
Monica to me."
Belinda looked up, her voice cool. "You're only dating, not married. | haven't entrusted her to you yet."

Tristan was left speechless, their gazes meeting. Monica was even more embarrassed.
Belinda then softened her tone and averted her gaze. "I'll watch how you behave during your courtship."
Relieved, Tristan nodded resolutely, "Alright, | won't let you down."
"Mum..." Monica couldn't help but interject, "Don't be so serious. You've already agreed to let us be together, why are you acting
this way?"
Belinda's gaze lifted, "Because men are unreliable." They knew she was thinking about Algerone again... and that she was angry.
Because the road was still covered with snow and the car was carrying a child, Jack Adams drove slowly. Algerone Swain's car
quickly overtook them, driving parallel to them.
At first, Jack Adams didn't notice and moved his car slightly to the right. However, the other vehicle didn't seem to want to pass.
Lowering his car window, Jack Adams turned to see Algerone's face in the other car. Instinctively, Jack pulled over.
Quickly, Algerone Swain also pulled over.
"Kids, don't get out of the car," Jack Adams said, unbuckling his seatbelt and turning to the children. "Green, why don't you start a
story?"
"Alright, Mr. Adams," answered Green, the oldest and most sensible child, who was also the class leader and a sister to everyone.
Jack Adams saw Algerone Swain standing not far away and, after exiting his car, he walked towards him.
Their intense gazes met...
Algerone Swain looked somewhat cold as he extended his hand. "Hello, I'm Algerone Swain, Belinda's ex-husband," he introduced
himself.
"Hello, Jack Adams."
Their hands shook briefly under the warm yellow light, allowing them to clearly see each other's expressions.
Algerone Swain didn't want to waste tand got straight to the point. "You like Belinda, admit it?"

So direct?
Meeting his gaze, Jack Adams contemplated for a moment. He couldn't lie, nor did he feel guilty or scared. "I'm single, and so is
she. Liking her doesn't seem to violate any moral code, nor does it break the law."
"You're right, but right now, she and | are in the process of reconciling," Algerone Swain said casually. "Our daughter is growing up,
and she hopes to have a complete family as a model for her own. | think you understand what | mean?"
"l understand," Jack Adams nodded. After a moment of silence, he spoke softly, "I think you've misunderstood. | won't compete
with you, because | know she still has feelings for you."
At this, Algerone Swain was taken aback. Belinda still had feelings for him?
"Mr. Swain, my friendship with Belinda is pure. | hope it won't cause any problems for you both in the future," he said sincerely and
lightly, "Since we've unfortunately missed each other for so many years, let's not continue to miss out because of suspicions."
Algerone Swain looked at him, "...", and felt very displeased!
