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

Chapter 1518:

Catherine blinked, curiosity gleaming in her eyes. “So, Belinda… Back then, what did you think about that?”

Belinda’s red lips pressed into a gentle line as her gaze drifted into the distance, her thoughts trailing far beyond the present moment. “I was torn… hesitant,” she said softly. “To be honest, the whole thing felt surreal. I couldn’t understand why Lucas had approached me with a marriage proposal out of the blue. Deep down, I knew—he wasn’t doing it because he loved me.”

She paused, her voice lowering with quiet honesty. “But still, regardless of what his real motive was, I couldn’t let the chance slip away. Because I thought that maybe that would be my only opportunity to ever be close to him. Even if I knew the marriage might never bring the kind of happiness I dreamed of, I still chose to marry him because I loved him. And I wanted to be near him, no matter how painful or uncertain the path ahead might be. No matter how many obstacles stood in the way, I wanted to give it a try.”

Belinda smiled faintly. “Even if the ending wasn’t filled with sweetness and joy like I had once imagined, at least I tried. And because of that, I’ll never regret it.”

Catherine nodded, understanding Belinda’s words.
