Clyde shot Tyrone a sharp glare, then flashed Aella a wide grin. “Aella, Dad and Mom asked me to come get you.”
Aella didn’t even glance at Tyrone. She just handed her suitcase to Clyde. “Let’s go.”
Clyde took it with one hand and looped his other arm through hers. The two of them walked into the apartment complex together.
Tyrone didn’t move. His arm dropped to his side as he stared after them until they disappeared through the gate.
That same night, on the third floor of the Regal Club.
Tyrone opened the door and spotted Raine. His expression darkened. “Why aren’t you home this late?”
She hid behind Brad. “Grandpa told me to let you know tomorrow is Thanksgiving. He wants you to bring Aella to the Winter Estate for dinner.”
Tyrone just nodded without looking at her.
Raine dragged her feet, but Brad snatched her bag and pulled her toward the exit. “Tyrone, hang on. I’ll walk your sister out.”
After they left, Zera knocked and came in.
Tyrone squinted when he saw her.
She quickly explained, “Don’t get the wrong idea. I just saw you here and thought I’d before leaving.”

He gave a short nod, clearly in no mood.
Zera stepped closer, speaking carefully. “Tyrone, Orson has been going on and on about you. He’s free tomorrow. Want to grab lunch together?”
Tyrone swirled his drink, sounding uninterested. “Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I’ve got to bring Aella back for the family dinner.”
The moment she heard Aella’s name, her smile faltered.
It lasted only a second before she forced her composure back.
She smiled. “It’s nice your wife returned. I won’t bother you.”

Then she left the room gracefully.
Out in the hallway, she stopped at the corner, leaning against the wall and breathing hard.
She planned to use Aella’s absence to patch things up with Tyrone.
But Aella came back sooner than she thought.
Seeing Tyrone so distracted, Zera finally turned and left.
As long as he kept Orson a secret, there’d always be a wall between him and Aella. That meant Zera still had hope.
Meanwhile, at the Reid Residence.
Dinner was over, and everyone sat together. Aella was in the kitchen, washing dishes while chatting with her parents.
“Aella, phone for you.”
Clyde handed it over, and she glanced at the unfamiliar number.
Hesitating, she wiped her hands and stepped into the living room to answer it.
When Zera’s voice came through the line, Aella couldn’t help but frown.
After the call, she made an excuse about taking out the trash and headed outside.
Zera was waiting and walked right up. “Ms. Reid, Tyrone told me you were back, so I came to see you.”
She held out a box of red velvet cupcakes and a fruit basket.
Aella
gave her a mocking look and didn’t take them.
Tyrone had no problem staying away from home for a whole month for Zera, never once explaining.
But the second Aella came back, he ran to tell Zera.
If that’s not love, what is?
Aella kept her cool. “I’m not taking your stuff. Just tell me what
you want.”
They stood face–to–face on the roadside. Zera set the gifts down.
