Chapter 452



“Lucas,” Vincent said, his tone playful yet pointed, “don’t you have anything to say about this?”

Lucas suddenly let out a cold laugh. “Belinda and I are already divorced, Vincent.”

“Whether Belinda goes on blind dates or gets married, it has nothing to do with me,” he said.

His tone was calm, his expression indifferent.

Vincent raised an eyebrow and replied, “Alright, if you say so. Guess I was overstepping. Go ahead with your work, then. I’ll get back to my meal.”

He then hung up without waiting for a response.

Lucas stared at his phone, replaying the video.

The man sitting across from Belinda had said something that made her laugh.

Lucas frowned.

When Belinda was with him, her expression was always distant and cold.

But now, with someone else, she looked…

Happy.

A bitter laugh escaped Lucas.

He told himself it didn’t matter.

It couldn’t matter.

He and Belinda were divorced.

Her life wasn’t his concern anymore.

But no matter how many times he repeated this to himself, the image of Belinda smiling at another man felt like a dagger twisting in his chest.

The rest of Lucas’ evening was a blur of simmering frustration.

He was unable to focus on work.

Later, when Belinda returned to the Thomas family estate, Mollie was waiting for her, brimming with excitement. “Well?” Mollie asked, pulling Belinda closer eagerly. “How did it go with Kamdyn?”

Belinda hesitated for a moment. “It was… alright,” she said, choosing her words carefully.

Mollie, however, waved her hand dismissively. “Got it! No need to say more. You’re clearly not interested in him. Don’t worry; I’ll find you another one immediately.”

Belinda sighed inwardly.

She realized that resistance was futile.

And so, Belinda had to go on another blind date the next day.

Finally, on the third evening, she had a much-needed break.
