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

Chapter 1109:

After having lunch with Lucas, Belinda headed to the Grand Plains General Hospital to spend the afternoon with her grandmother.

Later that day, in a private dining room of an upscale restaurant, Kane leaned back in his chair, one eyebrow arching with curiosity as he looked at Lucas, who sat opposite him.

“Lucas, what’s this about? You don’t usually invite me out for pleasantries,” Kane said.
