Chapter 485:

Belinda’s face remained impassive, though it briefly stiffened. She raised her eyes to Lucas, shock etched across

her features. She struggled to respond, “Lucas! Are you hearing yourself now? What nonsense are you

spouting?”

But Lucas remained undisturbed, his gaze unwavering as he looked at her. “I am serious. | know my feelings and

understand what I'm saying,” he said.

With that, he gently placed his hand on her shoulder, his expression earnest, his tone emphasizing each word.

“Belinda, | have feelings for you.”

Belinda’s reaction was immediate. Her pupils dilated in an instant, and she quickly averted her eyes, her long

lashes veiling the emotions flickering within them. Her breathing quickened. Despite herself, her heart fluttered

wildly at Lucas’ declaration.

The unexpected confession left her stunned. She half-joked to herself that Lucas might be delirious or feverish to

have declared such feelings.

Trying to regain her composure, Belinda took a long moment before finally lifting her eyes to meet Lucas’ once

more. Their gazes locked, and Belinda’s heart skipped a beat. In the depths of Lucas’ eyes, she saw her own

reflection staring back at her. For a moment, she found herself unable to hold his gaze.

Belinda inhaled deeply, her lips pressed together momentarily before responding with composure. “Oh, | see.”

Lucas’ brow furrowed. He was caught off guard by her measured demeanor. “Is that all?” His voice carried a hint

of dissatisfaction.

“What more do you want?” Belinda retorted, meeting his gaze once more. “What response were you expecting,

Mr. Clark? Did you imagine | would be thrilled, shedding tears of joy, rushing to get back together?” Her tone was

thick with sarcasm.

Lucas was left speechless for a moment. He hadn't anticipated this reaction, though he had hoped for some

enthusiasm in response to his confession of love. Yet, her reply was far from what he had hoped for.

“Are you done, Mr. Clark? May | leave now?” Without waiting for an answer, Belinda walked towards her car.

Lucas watched her leave, his expression a mix of frustration and confusion.

Once inside her car, Belinda noticed her hands trembling slightly on the steering wheel. She composed herself,

started the engine, and drove off.

When Belinda arrived at the Thomas family’s residence, Mollie informed her about the Wagner family’s attempt

to apologize. “They chere to apologize, but we turned them away right at the door,” Mollie said.

Looking remorseful, Mollie added, “I'm sorry, Belinda. This matter is all my fault.”

Belinda took Mollie’s hand to comfort her. “It’s okay, Mollie. You were just trying to help.”

“But let's put any further matchmaking on pause for now, alright?” Mollie thought for a moment before nodding

in agreement. She believed that, for now, it was best to let things unfold naturally.

Belinda exhaled in relief. For the tbeing, she would be spared from more matchmaking attempts—a small

but welcreprieve.
