Chapter 178:

Johnson analyzed the situation for a while and justified his position in all of this. His tone was heartfelt, and he

did his best to convey his sincerity to his friend. But Lucas’s expression remained grim, and it didn’t look like that

was going to change anytsoon.

After another long moment of silence, Johnson was suddenly struck with a realization. “Wait am | wrong? Lucas,

have you developed feelings for Belinda now?” He hesitated for a moment before adding, “In that case, I will

bury my feelings for Belinda. | will never do anything to ruin your relationship with her.”

The only thing that registered in Lucas’s mind was that Johnson had said he might have feelings for Belinda, and

he reacted like a man whose deepest, darkest secret had just been exposed to the world.

“Impossible!” he shouted defensively. “I could never have feelings for Belinda!”

His voice was a little hoarse, but his tone was firm.

When Johnson heard this, something unspoken flashed fleetingly in his eyes.

“That's great, then,” he said, his face suddenly lighting up. “You have nothing to worry about, Lucas. | won't act

on my feelings while you and Belinda are still married. Once you finalize the divorce, | will confess my feelings to

her and express my intentions to pursue her.”

His expression softened and turned wistful when he said this, as if this was the one dream he had in life.

Lucas responded with silence, his expression unreadable.

Would that bother you?”

At this, Lucas let out a cold laugh. A look of contempt flashed across his handsfeatures as he met Johnson's

gaze firmly. “I don’t care for her, so why would this bother me? After my father’s upcoming birthday, Belinda and

His tone was resolute, his words sharp and clear, as if he was trying to convince both Johnson and himself.

Johnson's eyebrows knitted briefly before he relaxed.

He said, “Your words are reassuring!”

He chuckled with a hint of mischief, his tone laced with intent. “If you could perhaps arrange more chances for

Hearing that, Lucas could feel the veins on his forehead throbbing a few times.

He fixed Johnson with a frosty look, his voice dropping to an icy whisper. “Don’t push your luck.”

Johnson quickly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, laughing. “Alright, alright, I'll back off. Are you happy

now?”
