Chapter 188 The Line Between Them
Tonight, she’d seen him with Zera and Orson. Of course, she was furious.
Tyrone hesitated for a moment before saying, “Tonight, I-”
Before he could finish, Aella’s phone started ringing.
She raised a finger to her lips, motioning for him to stay quiet, then stepped out onto the balcony to take the call.
Tyrone stood there for a while, not moving, before finally heading to the shower.
When he came out, Aella was already lying in bed.
He walked over, ready to talk again, but her phone rang a second time.
Aella sat up and said, “Go to sleep. I’ll take this in the other room.”
Tyrone stopped her. “Can’t I listen in?”

Aella replied calmly, “It’s about work. Even if you listen in, you wouldn’t get it. Just go to bed.”
Tyrone frowned. “If it’s work, then why hide it from me?”
Aella almost laughed.
She met his eyes. “If I ever have someone else, I’ll tell you straight to your face.”
They stared at each other for a long second before she brushed past him and walked away.
Tyrone stood there frozen, his chest tightening.
As she reached the door, he called after her, “Aella, you’d better not mean what you just said.”
She heard him but didn’t turn around.
If that day ever came, she wouldn’t lie about it–she’d tell him plain and simple that she’d fallen for someone else.
Ten minutes later, Aella came back from the next room and found Tyrone pacing in the living
room.
They exchanged a cold look before she turned and went back to the bedroom.
Aella plugged in her phone and got into bed.

Tyrone came in, holding a glass of water.
She took it but didn’t drink.
“Go to sleep. I’ve got clinic in the morning and a visit to Webster Manor after that. It’s going to be a long day.”
She turned on her side, her back facing him.
She didn’t bring up what she’d seen earlier.
Tyrone stood there for a while, his dark eyes fixed on her face.
Finally, he said quietly, “My mom called Zera and me out tonight. She twisted her ankle, so I helped her and carried Orson.”
