His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1394:

“Hang on,” he said, smiling as he reached out to brush something off her head.noveldrama

Belinda stiffened, instinctively wanting to pull back. But before she could, a hand shot out, seizing her arm and yanking her backward with force.

Belinda was caught off guard, stumbling slightly and nearly losing her balance. Fortunately, Darwin reacted swiftly, reaching out just in time to steady her and prevent a fall.

“Belinda, are you alright?” Darwin asked, his face etched with concern.

Belinda nodded and was about to respond when a sharp, shrill voice cut through the moment.

“Who are you? Get your hands off Belinda right now!”

Faye stormed over, shoving Darwin firmly in the chest before seizing Belinda’s hand and pulling her protectively behind her.

Belinda felt resigned by this.

Faye immediately turned to her, her tone softening with guilt. “Belinda, are you okay? I’m so sorry; that was my fault. I almost made you fall.”

Belinda stayed silent, but before she could say anything, Faye spun back around to face Darwin, her tone turning fierce.

“And you, who the hell are you? You do realize Belinda is already in a relationship with my uncle, right? Keep your hands off her!”

Faye had just stepped out of her private dining room nearby when she spotted Darwin reaching toward Belinda’s head. Outraged and assuming the worst, she had rushed over without hesitation.

Darwin’s expression darkened. “Why don’t you take a closer look at what’s on Belinda’s head before jumping to conclusions?” he said, his tone biting.

Faye hesitated, blinking in confusion before turning to look at Belinda’s head.

Belinda instinctively reached up to her hair but found nothing unusual.

It was only then that Faye noticed a tiny leaf caught in Belinda’s strands. She quickly removed it.

Her face flushed with embarrassment as she swallowed, awkwardly straightening her posture.

Still trying to save face, she muttered stiffly, “Even so, you shouldn’t be touching her like that!”

Darwin’s icy gaze narrowed on her. “Seriously? Removing that from her hair is inappropriate now? Miss, even if Belinda is in a relationship, she is still her own person.”

“Person. She’s fully capable of making her own decisions. What’s next? Are you suggesting she can’t so much as breathe near another man without permission? How utterly absurd.”

From Faye’s earlier words, Darwin had already guessed her identity, and he saw no need to hold back.

Faye stammered, trying to recover. “I—I didn’t mean it like that! I just think Belinda should keep her distance from other men, that’s all. Uncle Lucas gets jealous easily. If he hears about this, he’ll definitely be upset.”
