His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 554:

She refused to believe it.

That evening, Belinda made her way back to Vera Villas.

Kenia, having already learned about the events, had asked her to return for the night.

Upon her arrival, Belinda found Kenia, Holley, and Sarai gathered in the living room.

“Belinda…” The instant Holley spotted Belinda, tears brimmed in her eyes.

Belinda only cast a detached glance at Holley and then turned her gaze elsewhere.

Johnson’s words from earlier replayed in her mind, filling her with a sense of doubt.

Could the hormonal changes in her body truly be linked to Holley?

Belinda was lost in thought.

There was also the matter of her artichoke allergy from the past.

Had Holley truly been unaware of it at that time?

Belinda’s thoughts were swirling inside her head, leaving her feeling restless and frustrated.

“I already spoke with your mother, Belinda,” Kenia said. “We had a serious talk, and she now realizes her mistake.”

Belinda remained calm.

“I’m sorry, Belinda. I know I was wrong, but I really didn’t do it on purpose! Please don’t be mad at me anymore. I can’t bear it when you ignore me. Can you forgive me, just this once?”

Holley’s voice trembled with emotion as she spoke.

Belinda remained silent.

Belinda’s lack of response made Holley anxious. “I’ll head over to the hospital right now and explain everything. I’ll even go from department to department to clear your name. I will tell everyone that you were never assaulted by that man!”

Holley turned on her heel and made to leave.

“Stop!” Belinda called out. “Even if you go and do all that, it won’t change anything at this point. The best thing you can do for me is to stay put and stay silent!”

Her tone was icy, and her face was devoid of any emotion.

“Belinda…” Holley was at a loss for what to say or do now.noveldrama

Belinda turned to Kenia and said, “I’m tired, Grandma. I’m going back to my room.”

She didn’t wait for Kenia to respond and simply left for her room.

Kenia’s brows furrowed in concern.

“Do you think she’s never going to forgive me?” Holley asked Kenia nervously.

Kenia couldn’t give her an answer, as she herself was uncertain of Belinda’s feelings.

Later that evening, Kenia knocked on Belinda’s door.

She sat on the edge of Belinda’s bed and looked at her with a pained expression. “Belinda,” Kenia began in a gentle voice, “I know that this situation has caused you a lot of distress. Your mother… She really messed up this time, but I don’t believe she did that on purpose. She didn’t mean to hurt you.”

Belinda’s calm gaze settled on Kenia. “No, Grandma. I don’t think she could have been so thoughtless that she didn’t even realize the harm her words would cause me.”
