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

Chapter 1156:

As Belinda and Holley stepped out, only Lucas and Sarai remained in the spacious, dimly lit private room. A heavy silence settled between them.

Sarai’s heart pounded, her nerves on edge.

Roughly ten minutes later, Lucas, who had been eating without much enthusiasm, suddenly shook his head slightly, as if he was feeling uncomfortable.

Sarai noticed it immediately. Her voice was laced with concern as she asked, “Mr. Clark, are you feeling alright?”

Lucas didn’t respond right away. Another two minutes passed before he finally lifted his gaze toward her.

Then, to Sarai’s delight, he smiled and murmured, “Belinda, why are you sitting so far away from me?”

Sarai’s pulse quickened.

Feigning confusion, she blinked and asked, “Um… Mr. Clark, what did you just call me?”

Lucas replied, “Belinda. What’s wrong?”
