His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1238:

She placed her trust in him completely, willing to leave everything in his hands.

After sharing lunch with Lucas, Belinda went to the office lounge for a brief rest. By the time afternoon arrived, she woke up, freshened up, and stepped out of the lounge, only to find the office door swinging open.

Just then, Devin entered, and their eyes locked. For a fleeting second, they were both a bit stunned.

“Mr. Davidson,” Belinda was the first to break the silence, offering a composed nod.noveldrama

“Dr. Wright,” Devin returned the greeting with a faint smile.

Lucas, who had been observing the exchange, said to Devin, “Has your grandfather come to a decision?”

He was referring to the arrangement of sending Carmelita abroad for the next five years.

“Yes,” Devin replied with a nod. “My grandfather has given his consent. The family has already begun packing Carmelita’s belongings, and her flight is scheduled for tomorrow night.”

“Good,” Lucas replied, a glint of satisfaction flickering in his eyes.

Devin then shifted his gaze toward Belinda, remorse etched across his features. His tone was apologetic as he spoke. “Dr. Wright, I sincerely apologize to you. You got caught up in all of this because of me.”

Belinda lifted a hand, dismissing his words with a slight shake of her head. “There’s no need for you to apologize to me. You are also a victim.” Regardless of how events had unfolded, she did not hold Devin responsible. Even if time rewound and she had to make the choice again, she would still stand by her decision to help him.

Hearing Belinda’s words, Devin felt an inexplicable surge of emotion. He remained silent, his gaze lingering on her. His unwavering gaze made Belinda somewhat uneasy. Her long lashes fluttered as she averted her eyes, contemplating how to steer the conversation elsewhere.

Just then, a cough interrupted her thoughts. It was Lucas.

The subtle gesture was a pointed reminder to Devin.

Devin quickly composed himself. He straightened and said evenly, “I have other matters to attend to. I’ll take my leave now.”

Without waiting for a response, he turned and left.

A cold laugh escaped Lucas’ lips as he watched Devin leave.

Belinda caught the sound and turned toward him, raising an eyebrow. “What’s wrong?”

“You were really enjoying your little chat with Devin just now,” Lucas’ voice carried a hint of sarcasm.

Belinda couldn’t help but chuckle at his tone.

With a playful glint in her eyes, she walked over to him, stood behind him, and draped her arms around his neck. Tilting her head, she looked at him teasingly. “Are you jealous?”

Lucas turned slightly, his sharp gaze flickering to hers as he let out a snort. “What do you think?”
