His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1395:

Her words only deepened Belinda’s irritation.

Darwin’s voice sharpened even further. “And that gives you the right to yank her like that without a second thought for her safety? Do you have any idea how disrespectful that was?”

Faye faltered, at a complete loss for words.

Sensing the tension escalating, Belinda finally intervened. She turned to Darwin, her voice calm. “I’ll go home now. Lucas and I will treat you to a meal next time.”

Darwin’s expression softened slightly as he nodded. “Alright. Take care on your way home.”

“Okay,” Belinda replied.

Without so much as glancing at Faye, Darwin turned and walked away, his figure soon disappearing into the distance.

Faye turned to look at Belinda, her face crumpled with remorse. “I’m really sorry, Belinda. I didn’t mean to do that earlier. Did I hurt you? Please don’t be mad at me.”

Belinda gazed at Faye with a calm demeanor. “It’s alright,” she said lightly.

Shaking her head, she added calmly, “But Faye, don’t do something like this again. Your behavior was reckless and rather rude.”

Faye’s smile froze, her face stiffening slightly. After a long pause, she inhaled deeply and murmured, “I understand.”

Forcing a smile, she added brightly, “To make up for it, Belinda, I’ll keep today’s incident a secret. I won’t tell Lucas a word, alright?”

Belinda arched a brow. That wasn’t what she had meant at all. Why did Faye’s words sound so irritating?

“Lucas already knows,” Belinda replied without hesitation.

Faye’s eyes widened in disbelief. “What? Lucas knows? Then… won’t he get jealous or upset?”

Belinda exhaled slowly, keeping her tone as even as possible. “Maybe he feels a bit jealous, but he trusts me. He would never control my actions. As Darwin said earlier, I am my own person. Even though I am Lucas’ girlfriend, I can still have male friends. Do you understand now?”

Faye pouted and nodded. “Alright, I get it. I guess… I meddled where I shouldn’t have.”noveldrama

There was a faint hint of displeasure in her tone.

Belinda said nothing more. She flexed her wrist subtly, still feeling a dull ache from where Faye had yanked her earlier. Turning her head slightly, she said in a cool voice, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back now. You should go home, too.”

Without waiting for a response, Belinda turned on her heel and walked away.

Faye stood rooted to the spot, watching Belinda’s retreating figure with narrowed eyes. Complicated emotions crossed her face.

Once home, Belinda called Lucas and recounted what had happened.

“Are you alright?” Lucas’ voice was filled with concern.

“My wrist hurt a little earlier, but it’s fine now,” Belinda replied.
