Chapter 200:

“There was someone you had a crush on when you were young?”

The question caught Belinda completely off guard. She stopped mid-step, her head turning sharply to meet Lucas’ gaze. Her long lashes fluttered in confusion as she asked, “Someone I had a crush on? What are you talking about?”

Lucas’ gaze held hers, a hint of teasing in his eyes. “Forgotten already? When you were fifteen, you liked someone.”

With Lucas’ reminder, Belinda suddenly remembered. Her eyes flickered slightly as she met his gaze. She pressed her lips together before asking, “Did my mother tell you this?”

“Yes,” Lucas replied, his hand casually tucked into his pocket. His tone carried a hint of sarcasm as he added, “So, where is this person now? Why did you stop liking him?”

Belinda regarded him with a complex expression, her thoughts swirling. After a moment’s hesitation, she said calmly, “We’re still in touch.”
