His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1411:

Lucas had been upset about her dining with Darwin. In an effort to comfort him, she had agreed to a completely unreasonable demand of his.

The memory made Belinda’s cheeks burn.

She turned and gave him a half-annoyed, half-embarrassed look. “You! You’re really going to hold me to that?”

“Absolutely.” Lucas’s voice was magnetic. “Tonight’s the night. You gave your word, Belinda.”

Belinda crossed her arms and turned toward the window, ignoring him. Lucas, of course, remained utterly unfazed. He was determined to let her fulfill her promise tonight.

Back at the house, after a quiet dinner and a stroll with Gwenda, Lucas quickly led Belinda up to the second floor, straight into their room.noveldrama

Belinda gave him a light punch on the chest. “Lucas! Could you be any more impatient?”

Lucas’s grin widened as he pulled her closer. “You already promised me that, Belinda. You can’t go back on your word.”

Belinda’s face flushed a deeper red. Lips parting slightly, lashes fluttering, she looked at him shyly.

“Lucas… Are you sure you really want to go through with this?”

She hadn’t anticipated he had actually meant it…

“Of course!” Lucas replied, his handsome features alight with excitement.

He had long fantasized about this moment—sharing a night of passion with Belinda on the balcony.

He knew she was shy and easily flustered, but tonight, he hoped to gently coax her beyond her boundaries.

That way, they could explore new ways to be intimate in the future.

The mere thought of it set his heart racing.

Belinda hesitated, her teeth catching lightly on her lower lip. But finally, she gave a small nod. “Just this once,” she said. “I’m not doing this again.”

“Deal,” Lucas agreed without a moment’s pause.

But in truth, he believed that if Belinda found herself enjoying the experience, perhaps it would be her who suggested something even more daring next time.

As she moved to rise, Belinda pressed lightly against his chest. “Then I’ll shower first.”

“I’ll join you,” Lucas replied smoothly, scooping her into his arms before she could object and heading straight to the bathroom.

“Lucas!” Belinda exclaimed, lightly tapping his chest.

After showering, both of them emerged wrapped only in bathrobes.

Lucas carried Belinda to the balcony.

Due to the structure of the house, the balcony overlooked a mountain, its view opening only to a majestic spread of forested hills.

He had been looking forward to this moment for a long time. And he had made all the preparations, ensuring their privacy.
