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

Belinda averted her gaze first, turning her head and starting to walk toward the bedroom.

She won’t mention wanting to have meals with you from now on. And as for the divorce proceedings, we’ll settle it after your father’s birthday, like we agreed before. You can rest assured of that.”
