Chapter 1181:
Belinda pressed her lips together for a moment, her heart pounding in her chest. Holding his gaze, she
swallowed hard before finally nodding. “Okay.”
Lucas stayed on one knee, clutching the bouquet tightly. The look in his eyes as he gazed at Belinda was gentle
and full of affection.
“Belinda, | used to be blind to what love truly meant. | hurt you, over and over again, and | shattered your trust
in me. That was my mistake, and | take full responsibility for it. Even now, | can’t be sure if you're without of
gratitude or because | managed to touch your heart in sway. Maybe you truly thought about our relationship
and chose to giveanother chance.”

After a pause, he continued, “Belinda, I'm asking you to letprove myself to you—to show you that I'm worthy
of your trust and your heart. From this moment on, | want to be the one who cares for you, who spoils you, and
who loves you unconditionally. Will you letdo that?”
His words moved Belinda deeply. Her eyes welled up, and she fought back the tears that threatened to spill.
Looking at Lucas, still kneeling before her, she took a shaky breath and said, “After everything we've been
through—especially the divorce—I've learned to think carefully about every decision | make. So, when | agreed to
be with you, Lucas, it wasn’t out of gratitude or because you moved me. It was because | love you. | want to be
with you. | want to give us another chance. Do you understand?”
Lucas’ heart swelled with joy at her words. A mix of happiness and excitement surged through him. He wanted to
pull her into his arms, but the bouquet of roses between them held him back.
Belinda smiled softly, took the roses from his hands, and brought them to her nose, inhaling their fragrance. She
then looked at him, her smile widening. “I love them,” she said, her voice warm.
Setting the bouquet aside, she leaned in and kissed him. Lucas responded eagerly, his hand cradling the back of
her head as he deepened the kiss.

When they finally pulled away, both were slightly breathless.
Belinda reached out and tugged gently at his shirt. “Alright, get up now. You don’t need to kneel anymore.”
Lucas obeyed, rising to his feet and settling back into his seat.
Just then, Belinda’s expression shifted, and she gave him a playful, slightly accusing look. “Tellsomething,

Lucas raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile tugging at his lips. “Are you jealous?”
Belinda puffed out her cheeks and glared at him. “Just answer the question! Be honest!”
Lucas took her hand in his, his expression turning serious. “No. You're the first and only one I've ever confessed
my feelings to like this.”
Belinda’s smile returned, her heart glowing with happiness.
Lucas continued, “Before | met you, | thought I had feelings for Verena. But once | realized how | felt about you,
everything becclear. What | felt for Verena wasn’t love. | just don’t dislike her. When she confessed her
feelings to me, | thought she was a good person, so | agreed to be with her. Over time, she kept hinting at
marriage, and | figured, why not? We got along well enough, and | thought it was tto settle down. So, | went
