His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 847:

Upon hearing Darren’s words of reason, Belinda found them comforting and nodded immediately.

“Darren, then I’ll entrust this matter to you.”

“Don’t worry,” Darren replied reassuringly. After that, he also left. Belinda felt utterly defeated and frustrated as she sat beside Lucas with downcast eyes that reflected her inner turmoil.

“Don’t worry,” Lucas said gently as he leaned closer to comfort her.

“Mrs. Thomas won’t remain angry with you forever; she’ll comprehend everything soon enough.”

Belinda nodded faintly but remained in low spirits as shadows of doubt clouded her thoughts.

On their way back home, Darren couldn’t help but ask Mollie in a soft tone filled with concern, “Mollie, are you truly upset with Belinda?”

“Of course, I’m angry!” Mollie exclaimed, her voice tinged with a mix of anger and frustration.

“Such a significant event took place, and Belinda didn’t tell me; she concealed it from me the entire time, all because she was worried about complicating things for us. How can I not be furious?”noveldrama

Mollie clearly had a displeased expression.

Darren, sensing the tension, attempted to defend Belinda, saying, “Mollie, actually, Belinda is just…”

“I know,” Mollie interjected.

“She’s shaped by her familial background. If she can handle something on her own, she will. She never wishes to burden or depend on anyone else.”

Mollie’s eyes softened slightly as she continued, “She’s also apprehensive about disturbing others or irritating them. It’s just who she is. I’m fully aware of all of this.”

With a sigh, she added, “This time, I said I was angry on purpose and exited dramatically, hoping that Belinda would grasp the truth—she doesn’t have to worry about causing us trouble. I simply want her to learn how to lean on us, to know that we’re there for her unconditionally.”

After processing Mollie’s heartfelt words, Darren nodded slowly, finally understanding her perspective.

“I get it now.”

Later that evening, Bethany, Johnson, and Vincent made their way into the hospital room to check on Lucas.

Upon seeing Lucas sitting on the bed, Johnson raised an eyebrow in surprise and spoke first.

“Oh! You’re sitting up now! It appears you’re recovering pretty well.”

Lucas offered a warm smile but remained silent.
