?Chapter 1414:


    Kylee nodded obediently. “I know, Mom. Don’t worry.”


    But a flicker of curiosity sparked in her eyes as a thought crossed her mind. “Mom,” she said cautiously, “did you really fall for Dad the moment you saw him? Is that why you decided to marry him?”


    Car’s lips curled into a faint smile. “Well… I suppose you could say that. At the time, I did want to marry your father.”


    Kylee pressed on, her voiceced with mild suspicion. “Because you loved him?”


    Car reached out, gently tucking a strand of Kylee’s hair behind her ear as she deftly sidestepped the question. “Alright now, enough with the questions.”


    Kylee pouted slightly, sensing that her mother was withholding the real answer.


    After chatting for a little while longer with Car, Kylee left the room.


    Something about Car’s reaction had stirred questions she couldn’t ignore. Could her mother’s first love really have been Zaria’s father?


    If that were true, then things would certainly be interesting. That would mean she might have a powerful man as her father. And such a matter could change everything.


    Her gaze sharpened, eyes narrowing as a quiet me of determination lit up within her.


    She needed to uncover the truth, no matter what.


    Meanwhile, in Belinda’s house.


    Lucas had been unusually spirited, his energy seemingly endless. Though Belinda had enjoyed their daring escapade on the balcony, her stamina simply couldn’t match his.


    After two rounds of passion, she was already struggling to move, her limbs heavy with fatigue. And yet, Lucas was still not done.


    “Lucas… no more,” Belinda pleaded in a soft, breathy tone, looking at him with weary eyes.


    ?????????? ???????????????? ???????? ???? g????????ν?????????????


    “Just onest time, alright?” Lucas murmured, pulling her gently into his embrace.


    To her surprise, he actually kept his word this time.


    Afterward, he carried her,pletely drained, back to their bedroom.


    Belinda thought that would be the end of it for the night. However, while showering, Lucas’s desires resurfaced, and they found themselves making love again.


    Belinda’s soft, breathy moans and protests, paired with Lucas’s low, soothing voice, drifted out through the bathroom door.


    By the end of it all, Belinda had no strength left.


    The moment she fell onto the bed, she drifted into sleep. It wasn’t until the shrill ring of the morning rm pierced the silence that she stirred again.


    Groggily turning the rm off, she rubbed her eyes and slowly opened them, only to be greeted by Lucas’s handsome face. “Morning,” he said, grinning.


    Seeing him, Belinda immediately felt a surge of anger.


    “You liar,” she muttered.


    Lucas gave an awkwardugh. “I admit it—I got carried away. I swear, I’ll behave next time. Don’t be mad at me, okay?”
