His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 37:noveldrama

At the Thomas family estate, Belinda found only Mollie at home when she arrived. Santino and Darren were both at the company.

Belinda greeted Mollie warmly.

“Come here, Belinda,” Mollie said. “Darren and I were just saying how much we missed you yesterday.” She gave Belinda a mock stern look, but her eyes twinkled with affection.

“And now here I am, back to see you.” Belinda sat down next to Mollie and linked arms with her, asking, “How have you been? Any health issues lately?”

Mollie shook her head and replied, “I feel great! Ever since you performed that surgery for me, my heart hasn’t troubled me once.”

Belinda smiled in response. “I’m glad to hear that.”

Years ago, during a trip to Chixdon, Mollie had suffered a heart attack on the street. As bystanders hesitated, Belinda had stepped in to provide critical first aid, saving Mollie’s life. Belinda later performed the surgery that fully restored Mollie’s health.

Throughout that time, Mollie and Santino had spent a lot of time with Belinda, growing to like her deeply. Eventually, Mollie had asked Belinda to become her goddaughter.

Mollie changed the subject, saying, “Darren mentioned you and Lucas were set to finalize the divorce documents today?”

“That can’t happen just yet,” Belinda pressed her lips together and then told Mollie about the details of her recent discussion with Harold.

After Mollie listened, she offered a smile. “It seems Lucas’ father is subtly encouraging you two to reconsider. He’d rather not see a divorce, hence this indirect approach.”

Belinda acknowledged it with a nod. “I get it.”

Mollie then inquired, “And how do you feel about this?”

With a slight smile, Belinda replied calmly, “I’m just waiting to finalize the divorce next month.”

Mollie looked surprised. “Aren’t you interested in trying just one more time?”

A bitter smile touched Belinda’s lips, her eyes reflecting a touch of irony. “After three years of failing to win Lucas’ heart, I don’t think I can do that in a month.”

She took a breath before adding firmly, “Even if it were possible, I don’t want to do that anymore. I’m really exhausted. I no longer want my life to revolve around chasing someone else’s affection. I want to live for myself now.”

Mollie expressed her support, saying, “That’s a wise choice! I fully support your decision, dear.”

Belinda chuckled in response.

The rest of Belinda’s afternoon was spent in enjoyable conversation with Mollie in the living room. When Santino and Darren arrived home in the evening, they were thrilled to see Belinda, which made for a cheerful dinner atmosphere.

After dinner, Darren called Belinda to his study upstairs.
