Chapter 780:

Eventually, the strain overtook Belinda, and she drifted into a deep sleep, her body unable to endure any longer.

True to his word, Lucas finally stopped. Carefully, he lifted Belinda and carried her to the bathroom.

His movements were uncharacteristically tender as he cleaned them both up, slipping Belinda into a bathrobe

before returning her to the bed.

During all this, Belinda remained sound asleep, her exhaustion palpable.

Lucas laid her down on the bed gently, pulling her into his arms. He kissed her forehead, a small, satisfied smile

tugging at his lips before he succumbed to sleep.

That night, both of them slept very peacefully.

The next morning, Lucas was stirred awake by the sharp trill of a phone ringing.

Lucas’ eyes remained closed as he reached for the mobile device resting on the nightstand and swiped to

answer. “Hello...” His voice cout raspy, still heavy with sleep.

“Lucas, it’s already nine-thirty! Why are you still in bed? That's so unlike you!” The call was from Vincent. His

voice cthrough the line, carrying a hint of bewilderment.

Lucas began to respond, but before he could string a coherent answer, a soft yet irritated voice chimed in from

beside him.

“It's too noisy...” Belinda muttered, her brows knitting in frustration. Her eyes remained closed, her face

betraying an unwillingness to be disturbed.

“Okay, okay, | won't say another word. Go back to sleep,” Lucas said immediately, softening his tone to comfort

her. He quickly ended the call with a gentle swipe of his finger.

Gently, he stroked her back with slow, comforting motions, as if soothing a restless child. “Go back to sleep,” he

whispered, his words tender.

Belinda drifted off again into slumber, her breathing settling into a peaceful rhythm.

Meanwhile, at a restaurant.

The call had already ended, and the phone screen had reverted to its hdisplay. Still, Vincent remained

frozen in his seat.

“Vincent? Hey, Vincent! Why are you spacing out?” Noticing Vincent hadn't reacted after stime, Johnson

waved his hand in front of Vincent's face with a look of confusion.

After blinking a few times as if waking up from a dream, Vincent abruptly emerged from his stupor. He gazed at

Johnson in disbelief and exclaimed, “Johnson, | just spoke with Lucas—he’s still asleep! And what's more...

There’s a woman by his side!”

As soon as he uttered that shocking revelation, the others at the table all looked at Vincent with wide eyes.

“A woman?” When Bethany heard that, her expression shifted instantly from casual interest to one of shock and

confusion.

Just yesterday, she had thought highly of Lucas and had altered her perception of him. But today, she found

herself grappling with an unsettling truth.

Lucas had actually shared a bed with another woman?

How could he have done that?

At that moment, Bethany couldn't help but think of someone specific.

As she replayed the morning in her mind, a particular scene surfaced: earlier that morning, when she had exited

her room, she had witnessed Ryan knocking persistently on Verena’s door.
