Chapter 466



Although both Belinda and Carola had allergies to seafood and artichokes, it turned out to be nothing more than a coincidence. The paternity test confirmed it—just a coincidence.

The burden that had weighed heavily on Kylee’s heart was finally lifted. Yet, one question lingered: was Holley, Belinda’s biological mother, aware of her daughter’s allergy to artichokes? Had Holley intentionally made that dish for Belinda, or was it simply an oversight?

Curiosity sparkled in Kylee’s eyes. She quickly stashed the report away and rushed out of her room toward Carola’s.

Bounding into Carola’s arms, she exclaimed, “Mom!”

“You little rascal,” Carola responded with a tender voice, patting Kylee gently.

Hugging Carola tightly, Kylee said firmly, “Mom, you can only be my mother. You can only love me, do you understand?”

“What’s this all about? Why are you suddenly acting so clingy?” Carola inquired softly, smoothing her daughter’s hair.

Snuggled in her mother’s arms, Kylee drifted into thought. The lingering memories of her earlier suspicions about Belinda being Carola’s daughter sent a shiver through her body.

Kylee felt reassured. She believed that she and Belinda couldn’t possibly have the same parents. The pieces of their shared past seemed too mismatched to form such a picture. Belinda was nothing more than a child born out of wedlock. That was the truth, and nothing could change that. She realized she had just been overthinking the matter.

Carola gave Kylee a gentle pat on the back and smiled. “Alright, enough of the antics. Let me share some news with you—your eldest cousin, Lyle, has been reassigned to the Owathe Police Department.”

ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇꜱ ɪɴ ɢᴀʟɴᴏᴠᴇʟꜱ.ᴄᴏᴍ “Really?” Kylee exclaimed, her eyes widening with surprise. At the news, she sprang up, her face glowing with excitement as she turned to Carola.

Carola grinned and replied softly, “Yes, the transfer has been confirmed. Lyle will start next Monday and will be arriving in Owathe in just a few days.”

“That’s amazing! Now I’ll be able to see Lyle all the time!” Kylee said, her joy evident. Then, as if a thought had just crossed her mind, she pouted a little and added, “It’s a shame my other cousin, Mitchell, is always so busy. I haven’t seen him in forever.”

Carola nodded in agreement. “Mitchell has been busy filming in Chixdon lately. Once he finishes this movie, he should finally get some time to relax.”

Kylee replied, “Yeah, Mitchell is an international superstar now. He’s always working nonstop—it must be exhausting. When he gets back, I’ll make sure to take him out, have some fun, and help him unwind.”

“Yeah, you really should do that,” Carola said. She gently ruffled Kylee’s hair, her smile soft and filled with affection.

Kylee wrapped her arms around Carola once more, her face radiating complete trust and reliance.

Fortunately, Carola was only her mother. She was not Belinda’s mother. Kylee thought that if Carola were Belinda’s mother, everything she had would be shared with Belinda, and that was something she could never bring herself to accept. Thinking about this, Kylee couldn’t help but gradually close her eyes.
