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

Chapter 789:

Closing her eyes briefly, Verena let the silence stretch between them, her resolve hardening. When she opened her eyes again, her gaze was unwavering, locked on Lucas with determination. “You’re right; I planned everything. Every single thing I did… I did it to be together with you!”

Upon hearing Verena’s words, Lucas abruptly lifted his gaze, his expression shifting dramatically. His gaze towards Verena grew noticeably colder. Since the facade was already gone, Verena felt there was nothing left for her to hide.

With a tremor in her voice, she said, “Even now, I cannot fathom how it is possible that you have developed feelings for Belinda and no longer desire me!”

Her heart ached as she continued, “Lucas, do you have any notion of how devastating this revelation is for me?”

As the words slipped from her lips, tears began to shimmer in her eyes, threatening to spill over at any moment.

She said, “I have waited for you, counting down the days until you would finally sever ties with Belinda—longing for the moment you would choose to wed me! And when I finally learned of your divorce from Belinda, you cannot imagine the joy that flooded my heart! It felt like a dream come true because it meant I could finally become your wife! I waited… But in the end, what did I receive? You told me you had fallen for Belinda! You declared that you could no longer be with me!”
