Chapter 200:

“There was someone you had a crush on when you were young?”

The question caught Belinda completely off guard. She stopped mid-step, her head turning sharply to meet

Lucas’ gaze. Her long lashes fluttered in confusion as she asked, “Someone | had a crush on? What are you

talking about?”

Lucas’ gaze held hers, a hint of teasing in his eyes. “Forgotten already? When you were fifteen, you liked

someone.”

With Lucas’ reminder, Belinda suddenly remembered. Her eyes flickered slightly as she met his gaze. She

pressed her lips together before asking, “Did my mother tell you this?”

“Yes,” Lucas replied, his hand casually tucked into his pocket. His tone carried a hint of sarcasm as he added,

“So, where is this person now? Why did you stop liking him?”

Belinda regarded him with a complex expression, her thoughts swirling. After a moment's hesitation, she said

calmly, “We're still in touch.”

At her response, Lucas’ expression darkened instantly.

They were still in touch?

Damn it.

A storm brewed within him as he tried to process her words. How could she claim to love him while maintaining

contact with someone she had a crush on before? The thought burned like wildfire in his mind. Did she want to

keep two men on a string at once?

Lucas’ gaze turned icy as he looked at Belinda, his voice sharp and dripping with sarcasm. “Oh, impressive,

Belinda. Married and still keeping close ties with another guy? Aren’t you afraid you're biting off more than you

can chew?”

Belinda, however, remained composed. She tilted her head slightly, a cool defiance glinting in her eyes. “You're

no less impressive, Mr. Clark, considering you are still in touch with Verena,” she retorted smoothly.

Lucas froze, momentarily struck speechless by her unexpected comeback.

Belinda’s gaze didn’t waver as she raised her head, staring at him unblinkingly. She didn’t miss a flicker of

emotion in his face or the tension in his posture.

Her voice was deliberate, her tone cutting as she said, “Besides... Do you even care if I'm maintaining a close

relationship with another guy now, Mr. Clark?”

Her question struck a nerve.

Lucas’ brows furrowed tightly, a storm of frustration and confusion flashing in his eyes. He realized, once again,

that his reaction had been far too intense.

After a moment to collect himself, Lucas let out a cold laugh, his tone sharp and bitter. “We're about to have a

divorce. Why would | care about that?”

Belinda felt a twinge in her chest, a feeling she couldn’t quite name. Was it disappointment? Maybe his cold

response was simply what she had expected all along. She quickly masked her emotions, shrugging lightly as

she averted her gaze. “That's good to hear,” she replied evenly.

Lucas’ eyes remained fixed on her, his intense stare saying more than his words ever could. He stayed silent.

As they walked a few more steps and Lucas’ car cinto view, Belinda stopped, her voice steady but

detached. “I'll head back now. Bye.”

She didn’t wait for a response from Lucas, turning on her heel and walking away without hesitation.
