Chapter 488:

Annetta blinked, clearly shocked. It was hard to believe that Belinda had already been married once. After a brief

pause, she responded thoughtfully, “You've just ended a marriage, so now might not be the right tfor you to

meet someone new. But | do hope you'll consider Darwin in the future. He's really an exceptional young man.”

Belinda was surprised that Annetta continued to advocate for Darwin even after hearing about her divorce. She

laughed awkwardly and quickly changed the subject. “Here, try this dish, Annetta. It’s delicious.”

She then steered the conversation away from personal matters. Despite the brief awkwardness, their meal was

quite enjoyable.

By the tthey finished eating, Annetta had grown even fonder of Belinda. After the meal, they walked

together to the parking lot. As they approached Belinda’s car, she noticed someone standing near it—Lucas. She

furrowed her brows slightly. Darwin narrowed his eyes when he saw Lucas, his curiosity piqued.

“Belinda, who is this?” Annetta asked, her tone curious.

“Just a friend,” Belinda replied. After a brief pause, she added, “Annetta, | should head out now. Let's plan

another get-together soon.”

“Alright,” Annetta said, nodding with a smile.

Belinda walked over, opened her car door, and got in. Without hesitation, Lucas slid into the passenger seat.

Belinda then drove off.

Watching Belinda’s car disappear into the distance, Annetta turned to Darwin with a puzzled look. “Why do |

sense something off between Belinda and that man?” she asked.

“That man is Belinda’s ex-husband,” Darwin explained. A faint smile tugged at the corners of his mouth as he

spoke, his eyes reflecting a touch of complexity. It seemed to him that Belinda still held a significant place in

Lucas’ heart.

This revelation piqued Annetta’s interest. “So that’s him! He really does seem like a gentleman,” she remarked,

glancing sideways at Darwin. “But Darwin, that question you asked Belinda earlier was a bit out of line. What's

going on with you?”

Darwin narrowed his eyes slightly, choosing to remain silent.

“Do you have feelings for Belinda?” Annetta asked.

Darwin merely curved his lips into a subdued smile, keeping his thoughts to himself. However, his response was

telling, and Annetta responded with a knowing grin.

Meanwhile, as Belinda drove, she confronted Lucas. “You followedthis morning, and now again at noon. What

do you want?”

Lucas answered calmly, “Can’t you tell that I'm pursuing you?”

Belinda was taken aback. “Pursuing me?” She felt as if she had just heard a joke. This was surely an unusual way

to pursue someone.

Belinda let out a cold laugh. “Lucas, this is absurd.”
