Chapter 262 What Have You Ever Done for Me?
Tyrone didn’t even know how to describe how he felt.
It was heavy, uncomfortable, like a tight knot in his chest.
He walked up behind Aella and suddenly pulled her into a hug.
Aella was surprised when he did that and quickly ended her video call.
She tried to push him away. “Dinner’s ready. Are you eating now, or later?”
Tyrone didn’t move. He trapped her in the narrow kitchen space. He looked into her eyes and said, “Aella, why are you always better to outsiders, even strangers, than to me, your husband?”
Aella wasn’t surprised he’d ask that.
Because, up until now, he hadn’t felt he had done anything wrong.
He had already apologized and promised to make it up to her.
But that was only because she had ended her pregnancy in secret, and he finally realized how serious it was.
He just wanted to smooth things over, to keep their marriage going.
Aella fired back, “Then tell me, why do you treat Zera and her child better than you treat me?”
They looked at each other. Tyrone’s eyes slowly darkened.
The pain in his heart started to turn into guilt. He tried to smile, but no words came out.
Aella said, “I’ve only known Mr. Locke for less than a year. When I frown, he can tell I’m tired. Even if he doesn’t like you, he still watches you so I can rest. When I say I’m okay, he knows I’m pretending. He takes me racing just to help me relax. When he’s playing games on the couch, he still looks at me over and over, because he knows I’m upset and wants to stay with me for a while.”
She looked him straight in the eye. “You and I have known each other for more than 20 years. Do you really understand me?”
Tyrone reached out to hold her hand, but Aella pulled away.
She went on, “I let Mr. Fulford’s child call me Mom because I’ve had a child before. I want one. I can feel the kindness this kid gives me. I’ve been married to you for three years. As my husband, what have you ever done for me?”

Tyrone stepped back slowly until he hit the kitchen door.
Aella said, “I met Mr. Fulford by chance. I cared for his child and cured his child. He was thankful enough to break the rules and take my divorce case. I did my best to treat Mr. Vic. When your dad and your grandpa made things hard for me and my parents, Mr. Vic went to your family’s house just to protect me. They’ve always supported and respected me, so why shouldn’t I treat them well?”
Aella’s voice grew stronger. “I’ve loved you for more than 20 years. What have I gotten back from you?
“You gave all your care and kindness to Zera and her child. So tell me–how do you expect me to treat you?”
She set the utensils down and walked out without turning around.
A little while later, Brad walked in carrying some late–night snacks.
He saw Tyrone sitting there, completely lost, and said one sentence loudly, “Serves you right!”
