Chapter 251 An Unexpected Dinner
Zera nodded anxiously. “Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll find a way to get the money.”
After meeting with Shirley, she slipped off to a quiet corner of the park alone.
She called Noel two or three times, but he kept saying Tyrone was busy.

Her face was swollen and bruised from Aella’s beating, and she didn’t dare go see Tyrone.
She’d planned to scam that fat loser out of a few million to ease her money troubles, but he turned out to be just as unreliable–he changed his mind in a flash and now wanted his money back.
With no other options, Zera had to rely on small online loans just to cover her basic expenses.
Meanwhile, outside the hospital.
Mason arrived with the child. “Dr. Reid, thank you for taking care of him these past few days.”
Aella took the kid’s small suitcase in one hand and held Henry’s hand with the other. “Mr. Fulford, you don’t have to be so polite. Henry and I get along great. My parents adore him too. You can rest easy leaving him with us.”
Mason said, “If you really want a divorce, once I wrap up this case, I’ll handle it for free.”
Aella was touched but also hesitant.
She said, “Mr. Fulford, I don’t want to trouble you.”
No one in Vleka dared to take her divorce case.
Mason had only ever taken business cases since starting his career, so if he made an exception for her, she didn’t know how to repay that favor.
Seeing her hesitate, Mason made the decision for her. “It’s settled. I’ll take your case.”

Aella watched his tall, confident figure as he walked away, then gently ruffled Henry’s hair. “Since your dad insists on helping me, I won’t refuse. I’ll pay the legal fee so your dad can buy you something tasty.”
Henry tilted his head up. “Dad should help Mom. You don’t have to be polite.”
Looking at the little boy in front of her, Aella couldn’t help but sigh.
Good kids always seem to belong to someone else.

So smart, so sweet, and so well–spoken–she wondered how Mason raised him.
He really knew how to win people’s hearts.

There was still some time left before the end of the workday, so Aella brought Henry into her
office.
Elvira came over to play with Henry and asked, “Dr. Reid, you still haven’t finalized your divorce?”
Aella shook her head without expression.
Elvira leaned closer, grinning. “Dr. Reid, I’ve got an idea―guaranteed to get you divorced.”
Aella immediately set down the patient file in her hand and asked, “What idea?”
Elvira said, “My cousin was in the same situation. Her husband cheated and even had a kid with the other woman. She got stuck playing a free nanny for his whole family. At first, he refused to divorce too.”
Elvira continued, “Then one day, she got desperate. She started crying, said she still loved him, and pretended to give him another chance. She told him to divorce her first, so they could start over. And guess what? It worked.”
Aella thought the plan actually made sense.
Tyrone wasn’t easy to fool, but maybe he’d act on impulse and agree to the divorce.
She decided to give it a try when she had the chance.
After work, Aella called home and told them she’d have dinner out with Henry.
Outside the hospital, in the parking lot, Tyrone saw Aella walking out with Mason’s son and frowned.
Before Aella could say anything, Tyrone spoke first, “Your family just moved into a new house. I found a sculpture as a housewarming gift for your parents. I’ll drive you home and say hi to
them.”
Aella looked at him, remembering Elvira’s gossip.
She cleared her throat. “I already made dinner plans with Henry. We’re not going home yet.”
Tyrone said, “Perfect. I’ll join you
then.”
Aella hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Tyrone hadn’t expected Aella to agree to dinner with him, and the corner of his mouth lifted in
a faint smile.
