Tyrone stood before Edwin, his eyes filled with determination. He said firmly, “I’ve proven that the boy is mine. If either of you dares to go after him or his mother again, I’ll list him as my son on every legal document, bring them both to our home, and make our relationship public. I’ll give them their place in this family.”

Ralph’s face turned pale with anger. “And what about Aella? Don’t forget, you’re still married. If people find out you’ve got a child outside of your marriage, it’ll be a huge scandal.”

Tyrone answered firmly. “I’ll take care of them on the outside. I’ll never reveal the boy’s identity, and I won’t divorce Aella.”

Edwin slowly stood up, his expression unreadable. “Even if I agree to leave them alone, do you really think Aella will?”

“Aella is kind,” Tyrone said quietly. “She’ll understand.”

Edwin hesitated, then finally gave in. “Since the boy is your blood, he’s technically part of the family. You can support them financially. You can visit them. But you must never give them a name or title.”

Tyrone’s tone sharpened. “Only if you promise not to harm them.”

Edwin’s voice deepened. “If you can make sure Aella won’t embarrass the family with a scandal or push for divorce, then I’ll stay out of it.”

With that, Tyrone left the estate.

He believed Aella loved him too much to walk away. Even after learning about Zera and the child, she had only argued with him at home, never embarrassed him in public.

She still protected his reputation.

That was her way of leaving room for the two of them.

Her anger, her tears–it was all her way of pushing him to explain, to apologize, to come back to their family.

Tyrone was sure she would never actually go through with a divorce.

Leaving the estate, he headed straight for his office.

That morning, Aella woke up and saw a message from him asking to meet that evening.

She didn’t reply.

Around noon, Daniel called to tell her that the jewelry she sent to the auction house would be appraised in a week.

She had already waited through days of torment–one more week wouldn’t matter.

Not long after, Miriam showed up with lunch for her daughter. “Aella, since you and Tyrone are already planning to divorce, your father and I think it’s best if we transfer Clyde to a regular high school.”

Aella refused right away. “Mom, you said it yourself. That jewelry set is worth over a billion! Clyde’s about to start his senior year in high school. Even if I return a billion to Tyrone, the rest will be enough to get Clyde through graduation. Our family had lost our wealth; my marriage with Tyrone is over. Right now, nothing matters more than Clyde’s education.”

In the break room, Miriam slowly unpacked the lunch boxes one by one. “You’re right. We’ll just take it one step at a time.”

Aella stepped closer and wrapped her arms around her mother. “Mom, trust me,” she choked up. “I’ll get that jewelry set back, no matter what.”

Her nose burned as tears welled up. “I loved Tyrone for so many years. I was married to him for three. I gave up my violin, gave up job offers, and gave up everything for him, and look what it got me.”

Her voice trembled, breaking mid–sentence. “From now on, I’ll never expect anything from love or marriage again. I’ll work as hard as I can to make money so you and Dad can live a good life.”

Outside the break room, Tyrone stood by the door holding a lunchbox.

He froze when he saw Aella crying in her mother’s arms like a helpless child. His eyes filled with pain he couldn’t hide.

He tilted his head back, took a deep breath, and then knocked on the door.

But instead of going in, he set the lunch down and walked away.

At the hospital entrance, he ran into Zera again.

She explained softly, “The doctor said yesterday that my depression might be coming back, so I booked a mental health checkup for this afternoon.”

Her eyes caught the lunch bag in his hand. She tried to sound casual. “Have you eaten yet? Why don’t we go to that little restaurant by the university? I haven’t been there in years. I miss it.”

Tyrone’s tone was distant and distracted. “Maybe another day. I’ve got something to do this

afternoon.”

He left quickly. Zera bit her lip, holding back her urge to stop him.
