Chapter 799:

Lucas—who had been in a bad mood earlier—suddenly turned to face her; his eyes locked onto hers. “Are you explaining things to me?”

Belinda remained silent under his piercing gaze; however, Lucas had already unfastened his seatbelt and leaned toward her with determination, wrapping his arms around her in an embrace.

As Belinda collided against Lucas’ chest, she distinctly heard the robust thumping of his heartbeat. Each pulse resonated profoundly within her, like a rhythmic drum. Just as she was on the verge of resisting, Lucas’ deep, somewhat pained voice gently echoed near her ear.

“Belinda, tell me—what can I possibly do to mend the heart I’ve wounded so deeply?”

Belinda’s hand, which had been poised to shove him away, paused mid-air. Her gaze remained composed, masking the turmoil swirling within her.

Taking a deep breath, she parted her crimson lips slightly and spoke with determination. “Lucas, I don’t wish to linger on these matters any longer. I feel as though I’m finally in a good place now, and I don’t want to disturb that peace. Please… Let me go. Don’t waste your time on me anymore.”
