Jealousy burned hot in Verena’s veins. Her gaze darted toward Belinda, eyes blazing. What had Belinda done to Lucas recently? What trick had she pulled to charm him like this?

“Lucas, I don’t think you can drink for her,” Ryan’s voice suddenly echoed.

“Remember, no drinking for others!” Ryan’s reminder sparked a recollection in Johnson, who quickly voiced his agreement.

As Johnson spoke, he glanced meaningfully at Lucas. However, Lucas paid no attention to him, his expression stoic. His lips curled slightly as he coldly replied, “No one mentioned that rule at the start.”

Ryan fell silent, unsure of how to respond. A look of resignation crossed Johnson’s face as he said, “Alright, alright. You’ve got this round. But starting the next round, no one can drink for others!”

With gentle care, he set Belinda down. As Johnson headed back to his seat, he threw a playful wink at Belinda. She caught his look and pressed her lips together slightly.

As the game continued, each round introduced more dares, sparking waves of laughter throughout the room. Several challenges had them doubled over, clutching their stomachs as they laughed uncontrollably.

Soon, in one round, Ryan drew the King card. Placing it down, he said with a teasing smirk, “The holder of the six of hearts must sit in the lap of the one who has the eight of hearts, wrap their arms around them, and… They must kiss for an entire minute. And yes, with tongue.”

“Whoa!”

“Leave it to Ryan to turn up the heat.”

“Oh my God! This is going to be epic!”

Laughter filled the room as everyone looked forward to the scene unfolding.

With a slight sigh of resignation, Belinda looked at her card and laid it down. “Looks like I have the six of hearts.”

“Oh, look, it’s Mrs. Clark again,” someone remarked.

“So, who’s got the eight of hearts?” someone asked.

The room was abuzz with curiosity. After Lucas’ earlier interruption, no one expected this round to actually proceed. Lucas had refused to let Johnson hold Belinda to do squats earlier, and surely he wouldn’t allow anyone to kiss Belinda now. Besides, the person with the eight of hearts wouldn’t dare kiss Belinda with Lucas present.

“I do,” a deep, charming voice cut through the murmurs.

Heads turned in unison toward the voice. Everyone was a bit surprised. It turned out that Lucas was the one holding the eight of hearts!

Belinda’s anxiety eased upon seeing Lucas with the card. Meanwhile, Verena’s face transformed with shock. She hadn’t expected things to turn out like this. Were Lucas and Belinda truly about to share a kiss right there in front of everyone?

This thought propelled Verena to fix her gaze on Lucas, anticipating his objection.

Lucas maintained a stoic facade, revealing nothing of his inner thoughts.

“Come on, let’s move this along!” Bethany noticed that Belinda hadn’t moved yet and nudged her gently with a sly smile on her face.

Belinda’s eyes showed a brief spark of determination. She didn’t waver. With elegant poise, she stood from the sofa and approached Lucas. Backing down was not an option for her, not with Verena’s eyes on her. More than anything, Belinda was resolved to follow through. After all, she believed there was nothing wrong with kissing her husband.
