?<strong>Chapter 493:</strong>


    “Yeah,” Harold replied, ncing at Lucas. “I’ve already talked about this with Nigel. We’ll arrange for Devin and Belinda to meet soon. I—”


    Lucas cut him off, his voice firm. “There will be no meeting!”


    Lucas’ tone left no room for argument.


    Harold turned to face him and scoffed. “Do you really think you can stop this? You and Belinda are already divorced. Her life is no longer your concern!”


    Lucas’ lips parted slightly, his expression cold. “I’ve realized I have fallen for Belinda. I don’t want her going on a date with someone else!”


    Lucas’ deration left Harold and Norma stunned, their astonishment clearly reflected on their faces.


    “Lucas,” Norma said, her voice uneasy, “what did you just say?”


    With a calm expression, Lucas replied, “I’ve realized I have fallen for Belinda, and I intend to win her back.” This time, Harold and Norma understood him perfectly. They exchanged uncertain nces.


    Harold let out a derisiveugh. “Now you’ve realized you have feelings for her? It’s toote! You and Belinda are already divorced!”


    “Divorce doesn’t mean everything is over. People can reconcile, and we will,” Lucas replied confidently. He had no doubt—Belinda would be his once more. His confidence was unwavering.


    Harold scoffed. “Do you honestly believe Belinda will want to get back together with you?”


    “Of course! I know she still has feelings for me! She will get back together with me because she loves me!” Lucas replied, his certainty unshaken.

    Harold’sughter turned colder. “Belinda loved you when you two were still married, but she still divorced you.”


    Lucas’ gaze remained steady, his expression intense. “I didn’t understand my feelings for her back then. Now that I do, I know I can win her back.”


    Harold folded his arms, his tone skeptical. “Have you even told Belinda about your feelings for her?”


    “Yes, I’ve already told her,” Lucas said.


    The revtion caught Harold off guard. He had assumed Lucas’ pride would keep him from expressing his feelings.


    After a brief pause, Harold asked, “How did Belinda react?”


    Lucas tensed up for a moment, falling silent. Seeing Lucas like this, Harold guessed the oue.


    With a smirk, Harold continued, “Don’t think that just because you confessed your feelings, she’ll change her mind. Do you know why Belinda has been so resolute about the divorce? It’s because she’s already given up on both you and your rtionship with her!”


    Lucas remained silent, knowing Harold’s words were urate.


    After a brief pause, he looked at Harold and said, “That’s exactly why I’vee to you for help.”
