Once Cast-Off Wife Now Untouchable Queen novel Chapter 276

Chapter 276 Privilege

That was why Aella always felt so at case around Mason.

Henry, sitting quietly beside Mason, didn’t interrupt while the two adults talked. When they finished, he tugged at Mason’s sleeve and whispered, “Dad, can I ask Mom to help me pick some cool sneakers?”

Mason chuckled and looked over at Aella.

Aella smiled. “Henry, if you want my help, just ask me directly anytime, okay?”

Henry hadn’t seen her in days, and his shy little smile made her heart melt.

After lunch, Aella and Mason took Henry to the mall.

Aella walked hand in hand with Henry up front while Mason followed behind them, pushing a small shopping cart.

That warm family–like scene didn’t go unnoticed–Zera and her mother, Shirley Caldwell, happened to spot them from across the mall.

Zera’s eyes lit up. She quickly pulled out her phone and snapped several photos before dragging her mother into the restroom. Her excitement was impossible to hide.

Shirley scoffed. “No wonder she got divorced so quickly. Turns out she already has another man!”

Zera’s hands trembled as she stared at the photos. Tyrone and Aella were finally divorced. This was her chance.

Shirley said seriously, “Zera, you’d better grab this opportunity before some other woman does.”

Zera shoved her shopping bags into her mother’s hands. “Mom, you go home. I’m going to see Tyrone right now.”

Around eight that night, Zera waited outside Tyrone’s apartment building until he returned.

When Tyrone got out of his car, he kept his expression calm. “You sounded urgent on the phone. What’s this about?”

Zera’s tone was soft and sympathetic. “Tyrone, I know you just got divorced. You must be feeling awful. I didn’t want to disturb you, but I couldn’t just keep this to myself.”

She pulled out her phone and sent him one of the photos she’d taken–Aella and Mason

looking close together.

Tyrone opened the picture, stared at it for a moment, then locked his screen without saying a

word.

Seeing that he didn’t react, Zera continued, “I thought you might not believe me, so I took a photo. Honestly, they looked even closer in person than what you see there.”

She added, “I really thought she loved you. I didn’t expect she wanted the divorce because of him.”

Tyrone looked at her coldly. “You called me all the way here just to tell me this?”

Zera froze, then quickly stammered, “No, of course not! I … I came because my condition’s getting worse. I just happened to mention your ex–wife.”

Tyrone glanced at her from head to toe. “Aella already agreed to treat you. I’ll schedule a session with her and take you there myself.”

Zera hadn’t expected him to still care about her even after the divorce. Her heart fluttered with fake gratitude.

“Tyrone, thank you for doing this,” she said sweetly. “I’ll wait for your call. I won’t bother you anymore.”

Tyrone watched as she left. Then he leaned against his car, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag.

He opened his phone again, staring at the photo she’d sent. His chest tightened with frustration.

He didn’t want to go back to that empty house without Aella.

What he wanted was to drive straight to her place.

But what excuse could he even use now?

He couldn’t just show up anymore–he’d have to think of a reason first.

Feeling drained, Tyrone leaned against the car door, tilted his head back, and closed his eyes.

…

The next morning, Tyrone went straight to the hospital to find Aella.

He waited in the parking lot until he saw her car pull in, then stepped out to meet her.

Aella spotted him and paused mid–step.

Tyrone stared at her, momentarily speechless. Her light makeup made her look radiant- nothing like a woman who had just gone through a divorce.

He held out a paper bag. “I got you your favorite croissant.”
