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

Chapter 396:

“And besides…” Belinda suddenly spoke at that time.

“I no longer want to be the person who gets left and forgotten.”

A look passed between Bethany and Johnson, filled with empathy for Belinda’s situation.

Composing herself, Belinda continued, “Lucas does have some affection for me. He doesn’t completely overlook me… But his affection for me is just not deep, merely superficial. Whenever Verena needs him, I’m pushed aside. Just one phone call from Verena, and Lucas will leave everything behind to be with her. Is that what my life is meant to be? Constantly waiting for the moment he might leave me behind? Lucas is haunted by guilt over Verena. Harold had her imprisoned, and she has been kidnapped recently. Lucas believes these two things happened because of him. He feels he can’t abandon Verena now.”

With a rueful smile, she continued, “Is he wrong? No, he isn’t. He’s acting on his principles, and that’s admirable. But… His commitment to Verena is shattering me. I’m exhausted.
