From Discarded Wife to Queen (Tyrone) novel Chapter 141

Chapter 141 Change How You Address Me

What did she lack compared to that woman?

Why could Aella stand tall at Tyrone’s side while she couldn’t?

Seething, Zera hid behind a pillar by the doors and secretly called Jenny.

When the crowd thinned and Brad was pulled away, Tyrone drew Aella aside.

His dark gaze pinned her. “What exactly were you trying to pull just now?”

Finisher

Aella was frank. “I thought you two were headed for a grand reunion, so I figured I’d help. I didn’t expect your beloved to lose her nerve.”

His face went so dark it could drip. “You’re awfully magnanimous.”

Aella’s expression stayed even. “After spending enough time with you, Mr. Winter, I’ve learned to let things slide.”

They stared each other down. Tyrone’s fingers tightened around hers, anger heaving in his chest.

He’d thought she was jealous.

It turned out she was matchmaking him and Zera.

From a distance, Aella saw the Leadverse matriarch, Beatrice Townsend, being escorted in by a ring of society ladies.

Aella slipped her hand free. “Go do your rounds. I’ll go greet Mrs. Townsend.”

Tyrone watched her stride toward the cluster of socialites, easy and poised, and felt a hard block in his chest.

He caught her wrist and straightened her shawl. “I’m heading to Mr. Townsend. Don’t wander off.”

Aella nodded and turned away.

He seemed like two different people–one second looking ready to wring her neck, the next smoothing her shawl and telling her not to roam.

Half an hour later, Aella stepped out of the side lounge where Beatrice was resting.

She scanned the ballroom–no Tyrone.

Finished

She checked the time: half past ten.

After saying her goodbyes to the hosts, Aella prepared to leave.

Zera had been mocked publicly by Brad and snickered at by the room. Tyrone would be beside himself.

He was probably busy comforting Zera. Why would he spare a thought for Aella?

“You’re Mr. Winter’s wife?”

At the exit, Jenny blocked her.

Aella stopped and nodded.

Jenny raked her gaze up and down Aella, jealousy leaking through. “Don’t think a pretty face means you get to compete with Zera. Mr. Winter loves her.”

So, they’re upstairs.
