Aella couldn’t stay quiet any longer after overhearing Tyrone talking to her parents.

She marched up to him, her expression cold. “You already got the divorce papers. You and Zera are basically living together. Keep pushing me, and I’ll make your scandal public!”

Tyrone didn’t flinch. “Today is Juneteenth. Grandpa asked me to bring you to the Winter Estate.”

“That’s not happening,” Aella shot back.

He stayed calm. “Aella, you’ve got two choices–come with me to the Winter Estate, or I’ll reserve a table so both our families will have dinner together.”

“Spend Juneteenth with you guys? Forget it!”

Clyde stormed out of the room, grabbed a small stool, and charged at Tyrone.

Aella and her parents quickly stopped him before it got out of hand.

She turned to Tyrone. “Just leave. I’ll go to the Winter Estate tonight.”

Her family would never have peace while things with him were unsettled, and she needed to speak to the Winters as well.

Seeing her back down, Tyrone left the Reid Residence to avoid more conflict.

After he was gone, the Reids had no mood for the holiday.

By lunchtime, Aella noticed her parents‘ worried, downcast faces and didn’t know how to comfort them.

That evening, Tyrone called, asking her to come downstairs.

The black Bentley was freezing. Aella tugged at her sleeves as soon as she got in.

“Too cold in here?” Tyrone asked, leaning closer.

She turned away in silence.

He grabbed a thin blanket to wrap around her, but she pulled it off in disgust.

Tyrone’s expression darkened. He tried again. Before she could yank it off, he pulled her into his arms with the blanket.

Chapter 80 Juneteenth Dinner

“Let me go, Tyrone!” Aella snapped, struggling.

He held her tighter, locking eyes with her. “No married couple acts like us!”

Intimacy was out of the question. Even a simple hug from him made her recoil now.

She broke free and yanked off the blanket. “You’ve been in love with your first love the whole three years of our marriage. Even before the divorce, you openly kept her and her kid around, giving them all your trust and affection. You let them keep provoking me. I’ve already been more than patient with you!”

Tyrone stared at her, stunned. “Aella, do you truly have to see it that way?”

She looked out the window. “You said something right in Zera’s ward.”

“What did I say?” he asked, frowning.

Aella replied, “If you’ve got nothing to say, just shut it.”

The air in the car was thick with tension.

For the rest of the ride, neither of them said a word.

By nightfall, the car finally pulled up to the Winter Estate.

A servant opened the door, and Aella stepped out.

Raine ran over excitedly. “Aella! I was so afraid you wouldn’t come back!”

Virginia took Aella’s hand and led her inside. “Aella, I had the chef steam some fish for you. Eat more later.”

Tyrone followed silently, watching as his mother and sister each took one of Aella’s arms and led her into the dining room. His expression flickered with mixed emotions.

Aella greeted everyone politely, keeping her manners even though Tyrone had betrayed her and their divorce was ongoing.

The table was filled with food, but she couldn’t eat a bite.

She’d come back for Juneteenth with her parents. But now, her brother was injured, and her parents were worried.

She figured her parents were probably at home, too anxious about her to even eat.

Virginia kept filling her plate, and Aella thanked her automatically. Tyrone noticed everything.
