His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1056:

She knew she needed to make things clear.

It might seem cruel now, but deep down, she believed it was the best course of action for both of them.

After what felt like an eternity, Devin slowly rose from the sofa.

He said nothing—just turned and walked to leave the study.

Belinda also stood up and said sincerely to his retreating figure, “I’m truly sorry. Please try to move on.”

At her words, Devin trembled slightly; his steps faltered momentarily, but he did not turn back. After a brief pause, he continued to walk away.

In the end, he wasn’t even sure how he had left the room—his mind was blank, his body moving on instinct alone.

Only when Devin disappeared around the corner of the staircase did the door of the bedroom adjacent to the study creak open.

Out of the shadows, a tall and well-built individual emerged.

Lucas’ striking, enchanting visage radiated uncontainable joy, his heart pounding in his chest like a drum.noveldrama

He had overheard the whole conversation between Belinda and Devin.

After entering the house using the passcode, he had gone directly to the second floor, intending to find Belinda in her room.

But just as he had been about to reach her door, he had been halted by Devin’s voice from the study.

At that very moment, Devin had been confessing his feelings to Belinda.

Lucas wanted to rush in immediately, but out of respect, he restrained himself. Eavesdropping wasn’t something he would normally do, but in that instant, he had no choice. He needed to know what Belinda would say.

However, he hadn’t expected to hear those words… words Belinda had never said to him before. Words that proved she had never truly let him go.

Lucas was truly happy.

When he heard footsteps approaching, he instinctively slipped into the adjacent room, choosing not to let Devin see him.

Now, after Devin had left, he took a steadying breath and stepped into the study.

Belinda turned at the sound, her eyes widening in shock as she saw Lucas.

“You…” she began, her voice laced with surprise.

Before she could finish, Lucas crossed the distance in a heartbeat and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly.

Nestled against his chest, Belinda tilted her head slightly, her voice barely above a whisper. “When did you get here? And… How much did you hear?”

Lucas’ lips curled into a knowing smile. “I heard everything I needed to hear.”

Belinda’s cheeks flushed with color. She felt a mix of frustration and embarrassment.

Lucas’ gaze softened, his eyes twinkling with amusement. “I never knew you loved me this much.”

His voice was husky and laced with joy.

Unable to resist, he pressed a kiss to the top of her head. “Belinda, I’ve never been happier than I am right now.”

Belinda could clearly feel his joy.

She seemed to be infected by it, and her heart fluttered.

Without another word, she wrapped her arms around him, her head resting against the solid warmth of his chest. At that moment, she felt nothing but peace.
