Sabrina, who had been initially resistant, had gradually come to return his feelings after his persistent efforts. But Tyrone was left questioning the depth of her affection for him. Was her love strong enough to embrace the reality of him having a child with another woman?
Last night, Tyrone was restless in bed, his mind racing with thoughts. He reminisced about his days with Sabrina and couldn't find a single reason Sabrina would accept the situation.
Back then, Tyrone had intentionally asked Jennie to stay by his side, wondering how Jennie would feel knowing he was her real dad if he then sent her away.
Tyrone remained silent, prompting Keilani to said immediately, "Sabrina holds a grudge against me. I'm worried for Jennie if Sabrina's under her care. I won't let Jennie call her mom. I can't trust that a woman would kindly treat her husband's child with another woman. If you plan to keep Jennie, you need to end things with Sabrina. Otherwise, I'll have to take Jennie with me." O
"Tyrone, you've taken Jennie in, so consider what I mentioned before. Jennie is young and needs her parents' love. As a member of the Wilson family, Keilani's a suitable partner for you. Why not give her a chance to build a happy life together with Jennie?" Kira said. 2
Tyrone looked up at Keilani, then turned to Kira and replied with calm refusal, "That's not going to happen. Regardless of Sabrina's feelings toward Jennie, or if I have to part ways with Sabrina, I won't be with Keilani."
"You..." Keilani was visibly upset by Tyrone's response.
"I can't understand what's so special about Sabrina that keeps you so fixated on her!" Kira exclaimed in frustration.
"Let's calm down," Wanda intervened, attempting to soothe the tension. "Jennie will stay with me for now. Tyrone, take this time to talk things over with Sabrina. If she can welcome Jennie, great. If not, we'll figure something out."
Tyrone hung his head and said with a heavy heart, "I know. Jennie, what do you say staying with your great-grandma for a little while?"
Jennie had given her all to win everyone's affection. The last thing she wanted was to feel left out again.
Tears welled up in Jennie's eyes as she bit her lip, clutching Tyrone's sleeve. Her large, pleading eyes looked up at him as she struggled to speak. "Tyrone, you'll come back for me, right? I'll... I'll be good. I promise not to upset anyone..."
Her voice trailed off with a question. "You won't just leave me here, will you?"
Tyrone remained silent, pulling Jennie into a tight embrace. After all, Jennie was his own daughter. She was so reliant on him, so well-behaved and wise. The thought of leaving her behind was unbearable. He would never consider this.
Upon reaching the eighteenth floor, Sabrina entered the password and opened the door, just as a cat scurried beneath the table.
Sabrina gave a helpless smile, leaning down to see the table and reaching out her hand. "Bun, it's me."
Bun blinked and cautiously made its way over. It sniffed at Sabrina's hand from a safe distance. Seeming to recognize her, it gradually came out.
Cradling Bun in her arms, Sabrina took a deep breath and murmured, "You're so sweet, Bun."
Sabrina had told Bettie about her arrival through text. Bettie returned early from work and asked, puzzled, "What brings you here all of a sudden?"
Sabrina just sighed, looking down.
Bettie probed, "Is this about Tyrone?"
"Yes."
Bettie was eechless.
Sabrina looked at her and said self-mockingly, "Things seemingly didn't go well with me and Tyrone together all the time."
"You've finally seen through it."
