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

Chapter 1587:

Bethany and Catherine exchanged a glance.

Moving into Belinda’s place also meant sharing a roof with Lucas.

Was Faye’s concern truly for Belinda, or was Lucas the real reason behind her offer? No one had to say it aloud. They all knew the answer.

“There’s no need for that,” Lucas said sharply. “I’ll take care of Belinda.”

But Faye wasn’t ready to back down. Her eyes locked onto his with quiet defiance. “Uncle Lucas, I know it’s your responsibility to take care of your girlfriend. But this isn’t about duty for me; it’s about making things right. Belinda got hurt because of me. If I can help her, even just for a few days, maybe I won’t feel so guilty.”

She then turned to Belinda, her voice softening with appeal. “Belinda, please. If my presence makes you uncomfortable at home later, just say the word, and I’ll leave. Just let me move in with you first.” Her tone was pleading.

Belinda met her gaze, eyes steady, face unreadable.

Before she could respond, Lucas stepped in again, saying, “This isn’t up for discussion. There’s no need for you to do this.”
