NovelEndChapter 683:
In response to Lucas’s remarks, Belinda released a soft, mocking laugh, slowly raising her eyes to meet his. “So,
your point is that by becoming your wife, I've inadvertently acquired two adversaries—Verena and Kylee? Maybe
I should consider staying away from you as well, for my own safety? Just because they haven't harmedyet
doesn’t mean they won't try in the future. Perhaps it’s safer forif you keep your distance, Mr. Clark.”
Lucas was left speechless by her words, a hint of hurt flashing through his eyes. Eventually, he asked, “Belinda,
are you suggesting I'm like Darwin?”
“How are you two any different?” Belinda retorted.
Silence fell over Lucas once more.

After a while, he muttered, “I just really don’t like it when you're too close to other men.”
Belinda gave a derisive snort. “You have a lot of dislikes. Should | change my behavior just because you don’t
like it?”
Once again, Lucas found himself without words.
Moments later, he looked at her with a hopeful expression. “Belinda, I'm serious. I've stayed away from other
women. | even refused Verena when she tried to sit next to me.”
Lucas sounded like a child eager for praise after doing something good. Yet, his words only intensified the
mockery on Belinda’s face.
Was he really distancing himself from other women?

Oh, please.
It was laughable.
Silently, Belinda walked past Lucas, ready to leave. The scorn visible on her face earlier told Lucas all he needed
to know—she didn’t believe him for a second.
Noticing her disbelief, he quickly reached out and grasped her hand. “Belinda, you don’t believe me?”
Belinda pulled her hand back, her voice chillingly cold. “Your personal matters are of no concern to me.”

“You don’t believe me!” Lucas exclaimed, his tone becoming more determined. “You think I'm deceiving you?”
Instead of responding, Belinda turned to lock eyes with him and asked, “What do you think?”
“I'm not lying to you! If you have doubts, just ask Vincent—he’ll backup,” Lucas quickly replied.
“Back you up?” Belinda’s skeptical smirk grew. “Do | need someone else's word for what I’ve seen firsthand?”
“What did you see?” Confusion clouded Lucas’s face. “I can assure you that my interactions with Verena have
been entirely appropriate recently!”
Taking a deep breath, Belinda responded, “Appropriate? Remember the night at Happer Restaurant when you
excused yourself to take a call? Whom were you meeting then? Do | really need to spell it out for you?”
Lucas thought for a moment and then remembered the incident. “I ran into Verena right after finishing my call. It
was just a coincidence.”
