Chapter 88

Chapter 88:

“Belinda really has changed a lot over these three years,” Vincent said, exhaling slowly. After a pause, he added,

“Ryan toldthat Harold suggested you and Belinda should wait a month before getting the divorce?”

“Yes,” Lucas replied.

Vincent offered a small smile and asked, “And your thoughts on that?”

Lucas pressed his lips into a thin line and then said with a deep tone, “I've made a bet with my father... I'll go

along with his plans for Belinda andthis month. If I still feel the sabout the divorce afterward, he will

agree to back off.”

Vincent's eyebrows lifted in response. He remained quiet, simply observing Lucas.

With a defiant yet assured smile, Lucas said, “There's no way | will lose this time.”

Vincent, catching Lucas’ confident air, asked with an underlying meaning, “So, if you go through with the divorce

from Belinda, do you plan to marry Verena next?”

At this, Lucas’ smile stiffened. His lips tightened briefly as he fell silent, his response revealing his thoughts.

“It appears... | was right in my earlier assumption,” Vincent suddenly said.

Lucas turned to look at Vincent, a slight frown marking his face.

Vincent didn’t waste any tbeating around the bush and said directly, “It seems like there is something wrong

in your relationship with Verena.”

Lucas paused for a moment. His voice low and subdued, he said, “I don’t even remember how it started, but...

I've lost that feeling.”

Vincent nodded and replied, “I've noticed it for stime.” He then asked, “What's your plan now?”

Lucas replied with little emotion, “I will marry Verena.”

Hearing that, Vincent furrowed his brows slightly. With a steady voice, Lucas explained, “I owe that to her. It's my

promise and my way to try and right the wrongs.” He narrowed his eyes as he continued, “Verena has suffered

too much because ofover these last three years.”

Vincent responded after thinking for a while, “Yet, what Verena truly wants might be different. She loves you.

What she wants is your love for her, not a gesture born out of obligation.”

Lucas’ eyes briefly flickered, and he said coldly, “Offering her this marriage is all | can do at the moment. After |

divorce Belinda, I'll tell Verena the truth about the matter. If she chooses not to accept it, I'll respect her decision

and find another way to compensate her.”

Vincent stayed silent, knowing his words would not change Lucas’ decision.

Just then, Ryan and Verena arrived.

“Lucas.” Verena walked over and took a seat beside Lucas.

She then turned to Vincent with a gentle tilt of her head. “Vincent, good to see you back!”

Vincent smiled in response.

Ryan collapsed onto the sofa. “Vincent, your timing is impeccable. I'm in misery and need a drink.”

Vincent raised an eyebrow, asking, “Is it because of the Thomas family’s matter?”
