Chapter 669

Chapter 669:
He didn’t move or say anything.
Belinda sighed deeply, rolled down the window, and asked, “Lucas, what do you want?”
Lucas offered no reply, his stare unwavering as he looked at her.
Belinda opened the door and stepped out of her car.
“Lucas, you—”
She just began speaking when Lucas reached out and pulled her into a close embrace.
He clung to her tightly, as if trying to blend their souls into one.
Breaking the silence with his strained voice, he pleaded,
“Belinda, could you please stop torturing me?”
As Lucas spoke, a slight rigidity crept into Belinda’s frame. Her face remained expressionless, but inwardly, her emotions churned.
“Let go of me,” Belinda said.
“No, I will not,” Lucas answered, his tone defiant.
He held her more tightly, resting his chin on her shoulder and inhaling deeply, the scent of her calming his restless spirit.

“Have you forgotten what you promised?” Belinda’s voice, clear and resonant, pierced the momentary silence around them.
Lucas froze in his tracks.
“Yes, I remember,” he responded softly, his voice lower.
“No inappropriate touching.”
“Then what do you think you’re doing right now?” Belinda asked, her voice even.
The more composed Belinda was, the more it unsettled Lucas.
He missed the days when she would fight back; it was simpler to handle her fiery responses.
Promptly letting Belinda go, Lucas apologized sincerely, saying, “I apologize, Belinda. I couldn’t control myself earlier.”
Belinda created a gap between them with a gentle push. She lifted her head slowly and inquired in a soft tone, “What exactly do you want to say to me?”
Lucas looked at Belinda, his voice heavy with sincerity. “I can’t stand to see you with other men. It makes me so jealous. But I know I have no right to stop you.”
His voice was thick with frustration. “I hate this feeling of powerlessness, not having any place by your side, unable to drive away those men!”
The words Lucas spoke caused a disturbance in the stillness of Belinda’s heart, like a pebble causing ripples in a pond.
She was forced to acknowledge that his words had stirred her emotions once again.
This bothered her.
