Chapter 236

Chapter 236:

Belinda averted her gaze first, turning her head and starting to walk toward the bedroom.

“Belinda,” Lucas called her nto stop her, his tone a bit hesitant.

Belinda stopped but didn’t turn around.

Hearing the rustle of Lucas’ chair, she knew he had stood up and walked toward her.

When he stood in front of her, she looked at him, her expression calm but distant. “Mr. Clark,” she said evenly,

her voice devoid of warmth, “is there something you need?”

Lucas’ lips parted slightly. “About what happened this afternoon...” he began, his voice low and a little hoarse.

But Belinda interjected before he could finish his sentence. “Don’t worry about it, Mr. Clark. | already told my

grandmother about our situation. She won’t mention wanting to have meals with you from now on. And as for

the divorce proceedings, we'll settle it after your father’s birthday, like we agreed before. You can rest assured of

that.”

Belinda’s expression was calm as she spoke.

She even wore a slight smile.

Her expression mirrored her emotions—she truly felt at peace with the whole matter.

Lucas, on the other hand, felt his heart sink as he absorbed everything Belinda had just said.

His mood was foul enough to begin with, and this conversation with Belinda only made him more agitated.

He stared at her unflinching face, feeling a myriad of unnamed emotions roiling inside him.

His throat felt tight, and he suddenly struggled to breathe properly.

But wasn’t this the outche had been hoping for? Hadn't he orchestrated everything for this very purpose?

Why was he feeling like this now?

He didn’t understand himself.

Belinda lifted her head and met Lucas’ gaze. “I'm sure you're busy,” she said with a faint smile. “I won't take up

any more of your tnow.”

Then, she turned on her heel and headed to the bathroom.

Lucas watched her departing figure until it disappeared through the bathroom door.

Then, he took a deep breath and walked out of the room.

Belinda didn’t speak to Lucas again that night.

The next evening, Belinda invited Bethany and Johnson to the Nostalgia Lounge for drinks.

When the two arrived, they found several empty bottles on the table in front of Belinda.

Bethany and Johnson exchanged a glance, their eyes glinting with confusion.
