Chapter 467

Kaia’s fingers instantly clamped down hard, nearly causing the steering wheel to slip. She quickly steadied herself and anxiously checked the rearview mirror to look at her daughter’s face, but it was too dark to see clearly.

“Brynlee, why are you asking this all of a sudden?” She tried her hardest to keep her voice light and casual.

Brynlee was quiet for a moment. Her little hands turned the toy faster now, but she didn’t answer right away. Kaia’s heart was in her throat. Feeling deeply unsettled, she pulled the car over to the side of the road and turned around to look at her.

Brynlee looked up at her too, though she seemed even quieter than usua She looked back down at her toy and murmured, “I asked Anna about it. She said her mom and dad got divorced, and now she just lives with her mom. Her dad only shows up for important holidays. But she said she’s really happy because she still has her grandma and uncle who love her.”

Tears instantly sprang to Kaia’s eyes. She bit down hard on her lip to keep a sob from escaping. Her daughter was so small, yet so mature that it broke Kaia’s heart.

“Mommy, if you and Daddy get a divorce, does that mean you’ll live in different houses like Anna’s parents? What about me?”

Brynlee lifted her head, her small face staring blankly at Kaia. A hint of cautious uncertainty flickered in her eyes.

Kaia slumped over the steering wheel, her heart aching as if it were being sliced open. She took a soft breath and said gently, “Brynlee, no matter what happens, Daddy and I will always love you.”

“Will I stay with you, Mommy? Or will I have to go to Daddy? Because Daddy has more money than you. I asked some people, and they said whoever is more capable gets the kid. But I don’t want to go with Daddy.

want to stay with you.” Brynlee stared at her with utmost sincerity, tears welling up in her eyes but refusing to fall. She must have been terrified.

Kaia unbuckled her seatbelt, turned around, and gently stroked Brynlee’s cheek. She then reached out and held the little girl’s soft, chubby hands, which were still stained with paint. It was adorable, yet incredibly heartbreaking.

“Brynlee, Daddy and I have some problems that we just can’t fix. Even if we get a divorce, you will always be our precious baby.”

Brynlee saw the tears glistening in her mothef’s eyes. She seemed to understand, yet there was still a trace of confusion.

“If you both love me, why can’t you stay together? Will Daddy just come visit me sometimes, like Anna’s dad?”

Kaia’s tears finally spilled over. She nodded. “Yes, Daddy will come visit you. He’ll take you out to play and do whatever you want to do. He just won’t be living in our house anymore.”

Brynlee blinked her big, dark eyes. She seemed to grasp the concept. After a moment of silence, she gave a small nod. “Okay then.”

Those three simple words made Kaia want to break down and sob. She, was just a child, yet she was so understanding and considerate. Her obedience was agonizing.

“Mommy, if I miss Daddy, will he come over?” Brynlee asked again.

“He will. If you call him, he’ll definitely come.”

“Oh, will he marry another lady? Anna’s dad married another lady and they’re about to have a new baby. Will Daddy do that too?” Brynlee had clearly had a thorough chat with Anna, as most of her questions mirrored what her friend had gone through.

“That… I’m not sure. You can ask your daddy, he’ll definitely tell you.” Brynlee let out an ‘oh, and the next second, she smiled. “Mommy, if Daddy gets married, then I’ll be your only baby. And just like Anna, I won’t

bother him.”

Kaia’s heart seized painfully, and she nodded. “Yeah, my Brynlee is the

smartest.”

Kaia buckled her seatbelt again and started the car. However, her hands were still trembling slightly as they gripped the steering wheel, and tears blurred her vision. She hastily wiped them away with the back of her

hand.

Brynlee sat in her car seat in the back, reaching out to hug her favorite stuffed animal tightly. She stared out the window, not asking any more questions, as quiet and well-behaved as could be.

When the car pulled up in front of their apartment building, Kaia turned off the engine and sat in the driver’s seat for a moment before pushing the door open. Unlike usual, Brynlee hadn’t fallen asleep in the back; she just kept her eyes wide open, staring out the window.
