?<strong>Chapter 562:</strong>


    Belinda was also allergic to artichokes?


    She shook her head, saying to the waiter, “No, thank you.”


    The waiter nodded. “Alright.” He then walked away.


    Car let out a chuckle. “You know, I’m allergic to artichokes too.”


    Belinda stared at her in surprise. “You are?”


    “Yes, it’s quite umon,” Car responded with a smile.


    Belinda nodded. “Indeed. I only discovered my allergy after a reaction to eating artichokes recently.”


    “It’s such a coincidence that we both have allergies to seafood and artichokes,” Car said.


    The realization dawned on Belinda, her eyebrows quirking slightly.


    Indeed. She and Car shared allergies to seafood and artichokes.


    Before Belinda could respond, Car said, “You need to be more cautious. Allergies can be really bothersome.”


    Concern tinged her voice.


    Belinda nodded. “I will. Thanks, Car.”

    After a moment of silence, Car said, “Belinda, I invited you for a meal today because I wanted to apologize to you.”


    “Apologize? For what?” Belinda blinked in confusion.


    “For Kylee,” Car said, standing up to show her sincerity. “I’m truly sorry.”


    “Car, you really don’t have to do this,” Belinda said, a bit shocked by Car’s gesture. “You can sit down. Let’s talk about this.”


    Belinda hadn’t expected such a formal apology.


    Car sat back down.


    “I didn’t raise Kylee well enough. I me myself for this,” Car spoke, her voiceden with guilt.


    She struggled to grasp why her daughter had turned out this way, feeling like she had failed as a mother.


    Belinda didn’t know how to respond.


    Car said earnestly, “What Kylee did was uneptable. I’m here to apologize to you. You don’t have to forgive her for me. Whether you forgive her or not is entirely up to you.”


    Belinda was moved by Car’s words, thinking to herself how fortunate Kylee was to have such a great mother.


    Car’s eyes were resolute. “If Kylee does something like that again, please tell me. I will not defend her actions.”


    “Thank you, Car,” Belinda replied, offering a grateful smile.


    As they enjoyed their meal, Car broached another topic. “I’ve heard about the rumors you’re facing. It’s tough when you can’t clear your name. Just try to stayposed and ignore the gossip.”
