His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 752:

“Exactly!” Kenia chimed in enthusiastically. “Your mother may be timid and fearful of pain, but when it comes to safeguarding you, she doesn’t hesitate for a second.” Holley chuckled alongside Kenia.

Throughout the exchange, Belinda’s gaze remained fixated on Holley’s expression.

She noticed how utterly composed Holley appeared while uttering those words—there was no indication of anything amiss behind her demeanor.

This realization made Belinda feel an unsettling disquietude within her.

Holley seemed to care for her as usual, constantly worried about her well-being.

Especially regarding her relationship with Lucas—Holley’s anxiety reached new heights.

She repeatedly urged Belinda not to be soft-hearted and to avoid getting back together with Lucas, warning her not to make the same mistake again.
