Zera lowered her gaze, guilt in her voice. “Tyrone, you can’t blame Orson. I was the one who said hello to Mrs. Winter first. But she glared at me, and that scared him. He’s just a polite kid. It was a misunderstanding.”

Tyrone’s expression darkened, unreadable. “Zera, I took responsibility for you and Orson because of my guilt over the past. You know my wife misunderstood everything. I warned you not to approach her. Even if you ran into her by chance, there’s no need for small talk.”

Zera stood stiffly, looking clearly anxious.

“Tyrone, you’ve got it wrong. We just happened to meet in the hallway. I only said hello out of courtesy. But her brother … he was so hostile. He didn’t just hit Orson–he lifted him like he was going to throw him to the ground. He looked like a madman. It was terrifying.”

Tyrone’s brow furrowed, irritation flashing. “Zera, Clyde is my brother–in–law. Watch your words.”

The sudden shift caught Zera off guard.

He used to defend me against the Reids, so why protect them now?

Forcing a smile to hide her confusion, she said softly, “I’m sorry, Tyrone. I didn’t mean it like that. I was just describing what happened. I’m sorry if I said anything bad.”

Her tone softened, and Tyrone didn’t press. “Since Orson isn’t here, I’ll be heading back.”

Zera didn’t stop him. In fact, she urged him to go. “I really am sorry, Tyrone. If I’d known Orson had taken my phone to call you, I would’ve stopped him.”

She walked him to the door. “Your wife’s back now, and you two are finally making peace. Even if Orson calls again, please don’t come by unless it’s necessary. I’ll stay out of your lives.”

Tyrone gave a quiet hum and stepped into the elevator.

Since Aella filed for divorce and left the country, Zera moved to Southpolis, renting a place nearby out of guilt.

As a single mother balancing work and childcare, she never accepted my financial help. Apart from asking me to pick up Orson occasionally, she made a point of keeping her distance.

She’s doing everything she can to avoid a scandal, to not mess with my marriage.

I just need to give Aella time to let her slowly accept Zera and Orson. Eventually, things will settle.

By late afternoon, Tyrone went to the hospital to pick Aella up for a shopping trip.

In the women’s clothing section, Aella was choosing a winter jacket for Miriam while Tyrone. pushed the cart, occasionally offering his opinion.

The two of them looked refined, elegant, and perfectly matched, drawing admiring glances wherever they went.

Aella picked up a scarf and turned to ask Tyrone’s opinion, only to see him a few steps away, phone pressed to his car.

She quietly set the scarf down and waited.

When he hung up and returned, he said, “Orson’s water gun broke. I’m going to get him a new one. I’ll be back for you in a bit.”

Aella didn’t say a word. He didn’t ask for her input either and simply walked off toward the children’s aisle.

She tilted her head back, took a deep, steady breath.

The frustration simmered, but her mind stayed clear.

A few minutes later, she moved to the toy section.

Hiding behind a row of shelves, she watched Tyrone from a distance as he browsed.

She pulled out her phone, snapped a photo, then sent two pictures to a contact.

Without hesitation, she made a call. “Before tonight,” she said evenly, “I want these on the front page.”

When Tyrone returned, Aella was back in the women’s section, holding a white down jacket.

He walked over, took it from her, and picked a bright pink, modern–cut coat instead. “Your mom just got out of the hospital. I think a louder color will really cheer her up.”

Aella glanced at him. “Sure, we’ll go with that.”

They shopped for another hour before heading home around 7 p.m.

As soon as they set the bags down, Tyrone’s phone rang–it was Noel.

After hanging up, Tyrone opened the screenshots Noel had sent and looked straight at Aella. “You leaked these to the press, didn’t you?”
