At two in the afternoon, Tyrone arrived at the small rental apartment where the Reids were living.
Warren and Miriam welcomed him into the living room.
Tyrone set down the metal case in his hand and pushed it toward them. “Warren, Miriam, I bought back your family’s jewelry. It belongs to you again.”
The couple exchanged a surprised look. Miriam opened the case to check, and sure enough–it was their family’s heirloom, the imperial emerald set.
She closed the case, then gently pushed it back toward him. “Tyrone, we already sold it. You paid to redeem it, so it’s yours now. We can’t take it back.”
Tyrone hesitated, then asked quietly, “Warren, Miriam, can you tell me why Aella suddenly called off the engagement?”
Seeing their hesitant faces, he added firmly, “Please. I want the truth.”
Warren sighed. “Tyrone, you come from a great family, and we’ve always liked you. But Aella’s our only daughter–we’ve spoiled her. If she says she doesn’t want to marry, we can’t force her.”
Miriam spoke softly. “Aella didn’t lie to you. The reason she gave us is the same one she gave you. She just wants to focus on her career for now, and honestly, that’s not a bad thing. She started her new job at Westside Hospital today.”
Tyrone lowered his gaze, hiding the emotion in his eyes.
So Aella really went straight to the hospital to start work.
Miriam continued, “Warren and I wanted her to stay home a bit longer, too. She only just graduated, after all.”
Tyrone said earnestly, “Warren, Miriam, if you’re worried about her, she can keep living here after the wedding. I’ll fully support her career. I won’t let her suffer, I promise.”
His words touched them deeply, but they still didn’t want to decide for Aella.
Warren sighed again. “Tyrone, Aella isn’t your match. Let fate take its course.”
Miriam nodded. “We appreciate your kindness, but take the jewelry back for now. Whether it’s returned or not–let Aella decide.”
Since Warren had made his stance clear, Tyrone could only nod.

“In that case,” he said, “I’ll keep it safe for now. If you ever change your minds, I’ll bring it right
over.”
If even her parents wouldn’t take it, there was no way Aella would.
Still, he needed to test his suspicion one last time.
Tyrone left their apartment with a heavy heart.
