His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 434:

Kylee blinked and then explained, “It just crossed my mind today, so I thought I’d ask. Every time I think about how Dad betrayed you so early on, I feel a mix of anger and sadness!”

At Kylee’s words, Carola’s expression stayed calm, almost as if she felt indifferent to the matter. “It’s all in the past now,” she said softly.

Kylee narrowed her eyes, her lips pressed into a thin line.

Then, she asked, her tone direct and unwavering, “Mom, I just don’t get it. You have always been so strong and independent. Dad betrayed you ages ago. Why did you put up with it and not leave him?”

Carola’s face stiffened briefly, but she quickly regained her composure.

“These are grown-up issues you wouldn’t comprehend,” she replied calmly.

Kylee’s frustration was evident as she exclaimed, “Mom! Every time I ask you this, you just dismiss me with that same excuse. I’m not a kid anymore. Can you please stop treating me like one? And don’t try to convince me it’s because you love Dad too much to walk away from him. I know that’s not the truth. If you really loved Dad, how could you have endured his betrayal and so easily accepted Belinda, his daughter from another woman?”

Carola’s eyes briefly flickered, and she spoke in a soft voice. “It’s your father who is to blame for his affair. Belinda is just a child; she is innocent.”

Kylee frowned, her expression one of deep frustration. She pressed further, saying, “Alright, I understand Belinda is innocent, but what about Holley? Your attitude toward that mistress isn’t even cold. You just turn a blind eye to her and leave it at that! You’ve done nothing more! Even knowing that the moment you left the house, that woman would take your place, you never seemed to care! I find your attitude really odd. This isn’t how you should behave if you indeed love Dad.”noveldrama

After a pause, she continued, “Besides, as long as I can remember, you and Dad have always slept in separate rooms. Mom, I really want to understand the reason behind all of this. Please, just tell me, okay?”

As she spoke, Kylee’s voice carried a quiet plea.

Carola knitted her brows together even more tightly as she listened to Kylee.

At last, she let out a sigh and said, “Yes, there are issues between your father and me. But Kylee, I can’t explain it to you right now. I promise, one day, I will share everything with you.”

Kylee bit her lip.

She had already anticipated such an answer from Carola.

She knew Carola wasn’t someone who would easily open up about the truth.

Yet, despite understanding this, she couldn’t shake her desperate desire to find out the truth.

“Alright, Kylee, it’s getting late. Head back to your room and get some sleep. I’m tired now,” Carola said, softly urging Kylee to leave.

“Okay, goodnight, Mom.” With no other option, Kylee reluctantly gave in.
