His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius by Derk Blaylock

Chapter 178:

Johnson analyzed the situation for a while and justified his position in all of this. His tone was heartfelt, and he did his best to convey his sincerity to his friend. But Lucas’s expression remained grim, and it didn’t look like that was going to change anytime soon.

After another long moment of silence, Johnson was suddenly struck with a realization. “Wait am I wrong? Lucas, have you developed feelings for Belinda now?” He hesitated for a moment before adding, “In that case, I will bury my feelings for Belinda. I will never do anything to ruin your relationship with her.”

The only thing that registered in Lucas’s mind was that Johnson had said he might have feelings for Belinda, and he reacted like a man whose deepest, darkest secret had just been exposed to the world.

“Impossible!” he shouted defensively. “I could never have feelings for Belinda!”

His voice was a little hoarse, but his tone was firm.

When Johnson heard this, something unspoken flashed fleetingly in his eyes.

“That’s great, then,” he said, his face suddenly lighting up. “You have nothing to worry about, Lucas. I won’t act on my feelings while you and Belinda are still married. Once you finalize the divorce, I will confess my feelings to her and express my intentions to pursue her.”
