Chapter 38:
“What’s on your mind, Darren?” Belinda queried as she entered.
Pulling out his phone, Darren suggested, “How about we take a photo together?”
Belinda arched an eyebrow, smiling. “Are you still trying to make your ex jealous?”
Darren had ended his recent relationship nearly a month ago and had previously told Belinda that his ex was pouting over
something. He planned to make his ex jealous in hopes that she would contact him.
Darren frowned slightly. “That video of us dancing when you returned got a lot of attention online. She’s seen it, but no response
yet. I think it’s time to turn up the heat. There’s no way she can ignore this!”
Belinda resignedly shook her head. “Alright, what’s your plan for the photo?”
In the next moment, they took the photo swiftly. Pleased with the outcome, Darren wasted no time in sharing it online.
Meanwhile, Lucas was browsing his social media feed when he stumbled upon Darren’s latest post. He furrowed his brows as he
saw the image of Darren and Belinda smiling together in the photo.
In the captured photo, Darren’s grin was playful as he pinched Belinda’s cheek, prompting a look of irritation from her. While the
photo wasn’t overtly suggestive, it clearly indicated that Belinda and Darren were close. The sight of them together in the photo
triggered an inexplicable annoyance in Lucas. His face darkened as he quickly scrolled past it, not wanting to dwell on the image
any longer.

At nine o’clock, Belinda returned to the expansive estate of the Clark family. She walked into the bedroom and found Lucas
already there. When she noticed him, a subtle furrow formed on her forehead.
“Lucas, Harold mandated our stay in the house, not our cohabitation in a single room,” she said sharply, glancing at him. “Please
find another room to stay in.”
Lucas looked up slowly, his expression scornful. “You think I prefer this arrangement? Despite its size, this mansion offers no
other bedrooms equipped like this one—both a bed and a couch.”
Lucas’ expression then turned cold. It was clear that Harold had orchestrated their living arrangement with careful intent.
Belinda paused, caught off guard by this revelation. She had not expected Harold to be so persistent in trying to pair her with
Lucas. After a brief moment of hesitation, she made her way toward the walk-in closet.
“Belinda,” Lucas called out suddenly as she took a few steps.
Belinda stopped and turned around.
Staring at her, Lucas’ voice was stern as he said, “We’re still legally married, Belinda. Out there, you are still seen by everyone
as my wife. That photo with Darren, you should consider its impact on me.”
“It will affect my reputation.”
