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

Chapter 650

Chapter 650:

But beneath that relief lurked a hint of disappointment. He was glad to know Belinda didn’t harbor feelings for

Devin.

Yet, he was also disheartened because her contentment with being single meant she didn’t want to be with

anyone now...

Harold said, “Well, just because you don’t feel anything now doesn’t mean it'll stay that way. You and Devin

could start as friends and see where it leads. You never know what might happen.”

Lucas’ expression darkened the more he listened.

Suddenly, his phone rang.

Glancing at the screen, Lucas excused himself to take the call.

He left the room, phone in hand, seeking a quieter corner to answer.

The call was from Gordon, concerning a work matter. After a concise discussion, Lucas ended the call and turned

to head back.

However, he suddenly stopped.

Standing in his path was Verena. Her sudden presence caused his brow to furrow.

“It's been a while, Lucas,” Verena said.

Lucas gave a brief nod, his expression indifferent and his gaze unreadable.

“Can we talk?” Verena asked, her gaze fixed on the strikingly handsman before her, her eyes filled with

admiration and longing.

Lucas’ lips pressed into a thin line before he answered, “Not now. I'm busy.”

“It'll only take a moment,” Verena added hastily, a faint, self-deprecating smile crossing her lips. “I mean, it's

already hard forto see you these days. If not now, who knows when I'll get another chance?”

After a pause, Lucas sighed. “Fine. Say what you need to say now.”

Verena smiled. “How have you been, Lucas?”

“Fine.” Lucas’ reply was flat and emotionless.

“And you and Ms. Wright... How are things between you two?” Verena asked, her voice faltering slightly.

“I'm pursuing her,” Lucas said.

Verena noticed something. The moment Lucas mentioned Belinda, his entire demeanor softened, the sharp

edges of his expression smoothing out.

This filled her with jealousy.

So, Lucas was pursuing Belinda, and she hadn't accepted him yet?

Was Belinda playing hard to get or something?

“Lucas, is there really no chance for us to be together now?”

Verena asked, her voice trembling.

Lucas remained indifferent, his tone as cold as ice. “We've already had this conversation. My answer won't

change.”
