As such, Lucas had not dealt with Holley harshly.
But this new information had helped him make up his mind. Holley's actions were utterly reprehensible! Lucas pressed a kiss on top of Belinda's head.
Beyond that, he didn't know how else to comfort her.
No amount of words could comfort a daughter who had her heart broken by her own mother.
After crying it all out, Belinda sat up and grabbed her phone. She tapped a few times and handed her phone to Lucas. "I almost forgot that there's something important I needed to show you. Watch this video." Lucas accepted her phone.
Lucas couldn't help but raise an eyebrow as he watched the footage. "Did you get this from Kylee as well?” he asked Belinda when he finished watching.
"Yes." Belinda nodded, her eyes probing as she gazed up at him.

"Back then..." He couldn't help but heave a deep sigh. "I was jealous, and I got so angry because of that." Belinda blinked at him in disbelief.
Lucas looked at her, his face and tone earnest. "Johnson toldthat day that he was going to confess to you. Then later, when I went to the garden, I overheard your conversation with him.

"I see." She reached up and pinched Lucas' cheek, grinning as she said, "So, you actually likedeven before we divorced, huh?" “Yes, yes. I liked you way back then." Lucas let her pinch his face, his smile indulgent.
After a while, his expression turned serious. "I've actually liked you for a long, long time. I just didn't realize it before, or maybe I simply didn't want to admit it. It was all my fault, Belinda. I hurt you because of my foolishness."
Guilt flickered across his face, and his voice grew thick with emotion. "If I could do iball over again, I would acknowledge my feelings sooner."
