A Love Trap Chapter 348 The Gu Family

Belinda wanted to ask him a question. She was itching to know whether Camelia had complained
about them.

After all, they were all largely responsible for losing her.

At the time, the Gu Group hadn't achieved much. Martin and Belinda always remained busy. Their
negligence toward their children was inevitable.

Jeremy was the one who took care of Camelia. But he too was a playful child who couldn't really be
held responsible for losing her.

Belinda was worried sick after finding out about Camelia's disappearance.

"My little Camelia got lost! What if she meets some evil guy?" she said, unable to control herself.

The entire family was worried for her, trying their best to find her.

Belinda's words tensed Jeremy, but he decided to comfort her mother. "Mother, she'd be fine. I told her
everything about our family, and she took it fairly well. I don't have a lot of work today. I will invite her
home for dinner, okay?"

"Okay. Jeremy, you must bring Camelia back anyhow. I will ask Maria to prepare dinner. What's her
favorite food? I'll have it especially done for her,"

she said in an excited tone. She seemed refreshed after listening to Jeremy's words.

What did Camelia like to eat? That was a difficult question. He didn't know much about her food
preferences.

Jeremy pouted, wondering what to say.



After a while, Belinda spoke again, "Hello? Jeremy, are you there? What's Camelia's favorite food? I
need to tell Maria to get to it.

You know what? I should do it myself! I'll go get all the ingredients and make her a delicious meal. Tell
me, Jeremy."

"Huh? Mother, Camelia's taste is similar to ours. She isn't much of a picky eater. Make anything you
think she'd like. See you tonight. I'll call her now," said Jeremy.

"Okay, then. You can pick her up this evening..." Belinda said, expecting her to agree.

"Okay," said Jeremy and hung up.

Belinda remained stuck to her bed, talking to herself. "She isn't fussy about food? As a child, she used
to be..." she spoke out loud.

'What if it's because her foster family is poor and she had to compromise? If that's the matter, my poor
girl would really have suffered.

She used to be so demanding!

I will cook a lot of things for my little girl, ' she thought, hoping to make her happy.

Jeremy had no idea Belinda would give so much thought to something he'd said so casually.

If he had known, he wouldn't have mentioned it at all.

"Martin, Martin! We need to go grocery shopping for tonight's dinner! Camelia is coming over to join us.
I want to make a lot of dishes for her,"

Belinda shouted from the bedroom, walking out toward the living room, where Martin was lying on the
sofa watching TV leisurely.



The loss of Camelia had inflicted a permanent kind of sadness on Belinda. The chance to meet her
was like a ray of sunshine. Martin was happy to see her so enthusiastic.

He had been worried that he was slowly losing his wife to her overthinking brain, and that it was making
her weaker and weaker.

It was for this reason that he had handed over the group to Jeremy when he came of age. So, he could
spend more time with Belinda.

Martin used to be a rather handsome man when he was young. His good looks had totally passed on to
his son too.

For the past few years, he'd been taking extra care of his health. He'd started eating healthy, exercising
and going for morning walks with Belinda.

Their self-care made them look like they were in their forties, even though they'd already crossed fifty.

However, Belinda constantly remained in low spirits. She couldn't sleep well at night until Jeremy finally
hunted out Camelia.

The news of Camelia's whereabouts had refreshed Belinda.

Presently, Martin put down the TV remote and looked at Belinda's smiling face. He couldn't help but go
over to her and hold her in his arms. "Maria can help get the ingredients, honey. How about you let her
do the preparation and then you do the cooking yourself? You are so weak right now. I will be worried if
you go outside," said Martin.

Maria came out of the kitchen listening to his words. "Yes, what Mr. Gu said is right. I will get the
ingredients and do the preparation."



Belinda had been in better health of late, as opposed to the period when she suffered from serious
illnesses and weakness, which was when Camelia got lost. This was why Martin made sure she would
go on walks with him every morning.

"No. This is the first time Camelia is coming to our house in a long time. I want to buy the freshest
ingredients and fix up a great meal for her all by myself. Don't stop me. Besides, the shop isn't too far.
Don't worry, I'll be fine,"

Martin's expression was that of great concern. "No, you don't worry me. You just came from the
hospital two days ago. Even if you feel fine, you aren't allowed to go anywhere outside."

He'd begun to pamper Belinda. Her health was the first priority for him.

After all, she was the woman who had stood by him all his life.

She tilted her head, looking at him pitifully. Since she rarely went out, her skin was clean and glowing.
She was wearing a lavender dress with a little tippet. Her beautiful face and slim figure made her look
elegant, adding to her charm.

She looked especially attractive whenever she looked at him that way. It reminded Martin of someone
special, making it hard for him to resist her wishes.

"Martin, please allow me to go. You can come along if you want. Moreover, I haven't gone out in so
long. Don't we go out for walks, anyway?"

Belinda held Martin's hand, and shook it, looking at him with expectant eyes.

Maria looked at the two of them with a smile and shook her head helplessly.



Maria had been working here since they'd gotten married. It had been decades since she started
coming to this household.

'The Gu family wasn't like other rich families. Mr. Gu would never have an affair with another woman, or
have any other children.

And he loved his wife so much!

How kind was he that he gave Jeremy the power to run the company, just so he could spend time with
Mrs. Gu and take care of her.

It was so rare to see a relationship strengthen like this.

How jealous their friends might be of them!

If Mrs. Gu continued to give him this look, he would have no choice but to ultimately concede, ' thought
Maria, smiling contentedly.
