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

Harold stared at him for a long moment before he looked relieved. “So, you’ve finally made up your mind about her.” He sighed, leaning back. “Good. About time.”

The next day, Lucas had planned to go to Belinda’s place that evening to teach her how to swim.

But that afternoon, Bethany called Belinda, inviting her out for dinner. So, when Lucas later called to confirm his plan, Belinda told him not to come to her place tonight.
