NovelBookChapter 408:
Johnson's gaze flickered briefly, but then he nodded again. “I do,” he replied. Since he was going to put on an
act, he had to play it all the way through. At this point, there was no turning back.
Ryan hesitated for a moment before saying, “But... wasn’t Belinda Lucas’ wife? Even if they're divorced now, it's
still kind of...”
Johnson answered bluntly, “I asked Lucas about this before. He said he doesn’t care about Belinda and doesn’t
mind if | like her or pursue her.”
He paused briefly, glancing at Lucas before continuing, “If Lucas had feelings for Belinda, | would never
intervene in his relationship with her.”

Even after hearing Johnson's words, Lucas’ face stayed blank, though his sharp, icy eyes made the chill in the air
undeniable.
Vincent glanced between Lucas and Johnson, his face resigned as he struggled to find words. Ryan's eyes
flickered thoughtfully, an unreadable look passing through them. If Johnson could go after Belinda, and Lucas
didn’t care... Did that mean he could pursue her too? Wait a second! What was he even thinking right now?
Ryan's face shifted suddenly, and he mentally berated himself. Had he seriously just thought about pursuing
Belinda? Was he out of his mind?
Right as frustration started to bubble inside him, a server's voice interrupted his thoughts.
“Good evening, do you two have a reservation?” the server asked. Ryan glanced in the direction of the entrance.
In an instant, what he saw froze him in place.
Belinda walked in gracefully, her presence commanding attention as a strikingly handsman accompanied
her. Caught in his swirling thoughts, Ryan shifted his gaze toward Lucas, his expression unreadable. Lucas had
already taken notice of Belinda and the man, and a shadow crossed his face, his expression growing noticeably
grim.

When Ryan noticed Lucas’ reaction, his brows knitted together in a subtle frown. Weren't Lucas and Belinda
already divorced? Why did Lucas still seem so deeply affected by Belinda? Could it be that Lucas had actually
fallen for her? No, that couldn't be true! Lucas loved Verena, not Belinda.
Lucas struggled to shake off the frustration that clung to him. It was even more difficult to do so when he saw
Belinda, still as radiant and captivating as ever. It seemed as though their divorce had hardly made a dent in her
life at all! Wasn't she supposed to be deeply in love with him? How could she have brought herself to divorce
him? And why did she seem so completely unaffected after the divorce? The more Lucas pondered it, the tighter
his frown grew, his frustration intensifying.

Belinda’s gaze quickly found its way to Lucas, as if it were drawn to him automatically. Her eyes flickered briefly
when she caught sight of him. Though it hadn't been long since their last encounter, Belinda felt as though they
hadn’t seen each other for a long time. Perhaps it was because their relationship had changed so tically.
Belinda quickly turned her gaze away and made her way to her seat beside Darwin. Once they were seated and
had placed their order, Darwin couldn't help but ask, “Is that man your...” Belinda immediately understood that
he was referring to Lucas.
She responded calmly, “He is a friend of mine.”
Darwin raised an eyebrow slightly and replied, “I see.” Inside, he thought to himself that Belinda and Lucas
might really be divorced.
Darwin's suspicion was soon confirmed.
“Con, Lucas,” Ryan said with a smirk. “Lettoast to you for finally getting rid of that woman you despised
so much.”
