His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1420:

Carola gave a small nod, guilt flickering briefly across her face. “Alright.”

In truth, she felt regretful. If she hadn’t reached out to Belinda, Kylee wouldn’t have said those things to Belinda earlier.

Belinda walked away without another word, her posture straight.

Kylee barely spared her a glance. Her eyes remained fixed on Carola, wide with disbelief and brewing hurt.

“Mom… please tell me you weren’t serious. You really invited Belinda to a meal?”

“I did,” Carola replied.

Kylee’s voice cracked. “Why would you reach out to her? She’s Dad’s mistress’ daughter, Mom! How could you just sit down and share a meal with her?”

Carola remained still, her expression poised but resolute. “Your father made a mistake,” she said evenly. “That mistake has nothing to do with Belinda. She didn’t choose to be born into that situation. I invited her to a meal because there was something I wanted to discuss with her.”

Kylee immediately asked, “What could you possibly want to discuss with her?”

Carola was greatly displeased with Kylee’s confrontational tone.

But apart from the slight furrow in her brows, her expression remained fairly composed. She gave Kylee a look before responding, “What is it, Kylee? Do you think I need your permission to do whatever I want? Do you expect me to report to you if I meet with someone?”

Kylee had no answer to that. She realized too late that her attitude had been less than appropriate.

Biting her lower lip, she took a deep breath and said, “Of course not, Mom. That’s not what I meant. I’m sorry. I—”

She paused, her gaze flickering, and choked out, “I saw you two walking side by side, and I… I just got so angry! I couldn’t control myself. I’m sorry, Mom. I didn’t mean to confront you like that. My mind just immediately went back to how Belinda is the reason I contracted HIV when I saw her. It’s honestly hard for me to look at her without getting mad.”

Carola’s expression grew strained, her emotions a complex tangle.

“Kylee,” she said, her tone softer now. “Your HIV diagnosis has been a source of deep pain for our entire family. But you need to understand that you’re not the only one who was hurt by that horrible incident. Belinda is just as much of a victim as you are. Try not to harbor so much hostility and hatred toward her from now on. I’m telling you this myself, Kylee—you will not win if you go against her. Besides, Belinda has never tried to compete with you for anything. The cause of your anger is a thing of the past. Let it stay there. Holding onto this grudge won’t do you any good.”

Carola’s words were filled with sincerity. And deep down, she knew that Belinda was the one who was truly wronged in the matter.

But Kylee’s expression darkened when she heard her mother’s words.

A surge of shock and indignation rose within her.noveldrama

Let go of her grudge against Belinda? Let the past stay in the past?
