His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 465:

Ryan stepped closer and gently placed a hand on her shoulder, offering comfort.

He said, “Don’t worry, Verena.

Lucas is just upset at the moment.

That’s all…”

Verena shook her head, her complexion still pale. “He is angry because I never should have said those things to Belinda…”

“But if he doesn’t care about Belinda, why would he be so upset by what I said to her? He does care about her!”

The thought struck Verena like a wave of panic.

After hearing Verena’s words, Ryan furrowed his brows, his expression filled with concern. Before he could speak, Verena impulsively took his hand and said, “Ryan, do you think… could Lucas have fallen for Belinda now?”

A flash of shock crossed Ryan’s face, his pupils narrowing. He paused for a moment and then reassured Verena, “Absolutely not! Lucas loves you. How could he have feelings for Belinda? Verena, you’re just overthinking this. Lucas has always said he despises underhanded tactics. He’s upset, but Belinda isn’t the cause.”

Ryan paused to let his words sink in before adding, “Think about it—if Lucas had feelings for Belinda, why would he have divorced her?”

Verena’s features softened slightly as she considered his logic. She nodded slowly and replied, “You’re right. If Lucas had feelings for Belinda, their divorce wouldn’t have happened.”

Ryan smiled, relieved by her response. “Exactly! And remember how Lucas reacted when Belinda pushed you down the stairs? He ended his marriage with her the very next day. Isn’t that proof enough of his feelings for you?”

Gradually, Verena’s anxiety began to fade, and a faint smile formed on her lips.

Ryan said firmly, “You see? There’s nothing to worry about. Lucas’ heart belongs to you, not Belinda.”noveldrama

He spoke as much to comfort Verena as to reassure himself.

Verena’s heart began to calm. She was reassured by Ryan’s words.

At the Wright family’s residence, in Kylee’s room, she had just received the paternity test results from the agency. Holding the crumpled manila envelope, she hesitated, fear overtaking her.

At that moment, she had to admit that she was scared. Scared that the report’s revelations could break her completely.

Despite her initial reluctance, she finally ripped open the envelope and pulled out the contents. She hurriedly flipped to the final page, bypassing the preliminary details.

Taking a deep breath, she lowered her gaze to the document. Her eyes widened in shock as she read the conclusive results.

A smile of relief and happiness spread across her face. She knew it! There was no way Belinda could be her mother’s daughter! She had just been overthinking everything this whole time.
