?<strong>Chapter 466:</strong>


    Although both Belinda and Car 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 Car’s.


    Bounding into Car’s arms, she eximed, “Mom!”


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


    Hugging Car 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?” Car 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 Car’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.


    Car 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.”


    ???? ??????? ?? ?????????.???


    “Really?” Kylee eximed, her eyes widening with surprise. At the news, she sprang up, her face glowing with excitement as she turned to Car.


    Car 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.”


    Car nodded in agreement. “Mitchell has been busy filming in Chixdontely. Once he finishes this movie, he should finally get some time to rx.”


    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,” Car said. She gently ruffled Kylee’s hair, her smile soft and filled with affection.


    Kylee wrapped her arms around Car once more, her face radiatingplete trust and reliance.


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