His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius by Derk Blaylock




Chapter 1337:

Something about Faye now always left her uneasy, though she couldn't pinpoint why.

It was hard to put her feelings into words; she didn't even know why she felt that way.

She even recalled frowning when she had seen Faye at her home earlier.

In hindsight, she regretted those reactions.

She and Faye used to get along so well.

Noticing Belinda's quiet lapse, Faye waved a hand in front of her. "Belinda? You okay? What's on your mind?"

"It's nothing," Belinda said, snapping back to reality with a quick smile. She turned to Faye. "Why don't you stay for dinner? I'll make something."

Faye's face brightened instantly. "Yes! I'm in for a treat tonight!"

"Alright, sit tight and watch some TV. I'll get started in the kitchen."

Belinda stood and headed to the kitchen.

At dinner, Lucas noticed the dishes on the table and raised an eyebrow. "You cooked tonight?" he asked, glancing at Belinda.

"Yeah, since Faye's here, I figured I'd make something special for her," Belinda replied with a smile.

Lucas turned to Faye. "See how special you are? Belinda rarely cooks anymore."

After a beat, he added, "I told you, Belinda would never turn you away." His words stirred a flicker of discomfort in Belinda.

"Hey, I just didn't want to intrude on your time with Belinda," Faye grinned as she clarified her intentions.

"Let's just eat," Lucas said.

As they ate, Lucas frequently placed portions from the communal dishes onto Belinda's plate, and Belinda seemed comfortable with his attentive gestures, savoring his care.

Faye let out a playful sigh. "Uncle Lucas, you're so doting on Belinda; it's like nothing I've ever seen from you before! Honestly, you never showed this side with Verena!"

The mention of Verena caused a visible shift; both Belinda's and Lucas' faces hardened.

Even Kenia furrowed her brow in discomfort.

Faye continued with a teasing tone, "Uncle Lucas, as your niece, don't I deserve

a little of that special treatment, too?"

She tilted her head, pouting dramatically at him.

Without so much as a glance her way, Lucas responded, "Find yourself a boyfriend, he'l take care of that for you.” The content is on

Faye puffed out her cheeks in mock frustration. "That's so not fair!" Then, with a mischievous glint, she added, "Just you wait; I'll find a guy like you!" The content is on Novelxo.org!
