Chapter 562:
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.
Carola let out a chuckle. “You know, I’m allergic to artichokes too.”
Belinda stared at her in surprise. “You are?”
“Yes, it’s quite uncommon,” Carola 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,” Carola said.
The realization dawned on Belinda, her eyebrows quirking slightly.
Indeed. She and Carola shared allergies to seafood and artichokes.
Before Belinda could respond, Carola said, “You need to be more cautious. Allergies can be really bothersome.”
Concern tinged her voice.
Belinda nodded. “I will. Thanks, Carola.”

After a moment of silence, Carola 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,” Carola said, standing up to show her sincerity. “I’m truly sorry.”
“Carola, you really don’t have to do this,” Belinda said, a bit shocked by Carola’s gesture. “You can sit down. Let’s talk about this.”
Belinda hadn’t expected such a formal apology.
Carola sat back down.
“I didn’t raise Kylee well enough. I blame myself for this,” Carola spoke, her voice laden 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.
Carola said earnestly, “What Kylee did was unacceptable. 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 Carola’s words, thinking to herself how fortunate Kylee was to have such a great mother.
Carola’s eyes were resolute. “If Kylee does something like that again, please tell me. I will not defend her actions.”
“Thank you, Carola,” Belinda replied, offering a grateful smile.
As they enjoyed their meal, Carola 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 stay composed and ignore the gossip.”
