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

Chapter 866:

Without waiting for a reply, Darwin turned and walked away. As Lucas observed Darwin’s retreating figure fade into the distance, his eyes narrowed slightly in contemplation. He glanced back at Belinda and said, “Belinda, in the future, unless absolutely necessary, you really should steer clear of Darwin…” He paused, searching her face for a sign of agreement. His voice dropped, and a hint of vulnerability crept into his tone.

Belinda’s lips parted slightly as she said, “Alright.”

When Lucas heard Belinda’s reply, his eyes sparkled with delight instantly. She really listened to his advice now! For a brief moment, Lucas felt an unfamiliar warmth bloom in his chest.
