Chapter 35:

Ryan shifted the conversation toward Lucas, asking, “How are things between you and Belinda, Lucas? When is

it made her anxious.

At Verena’s words, a shadow crossed Lucas’ features. He averted his eyes, responding calmly, “No.”

Verena's eyes welled up with tears. “Or could it be... Have you developed sfeelings for Belinda?”

Lucas’ expression tightened.

In a low, decisive tone, he replied, “Absolutely not! My feelings for Belinda are non-existent.”

He admitted internally that hearing about the divorce delay from Harold had brought him an unexpected sense
