Once Cast-Off Wife Now Untouchable Queen novel Chapter 406

Chapter 406 Daniel?

Brad frowned, curious. “Raine’s only 20. Isn’t her mom rushing things a little?”

Tyrone explained calmly, “Outstanding young men don’t stay single for long. Getting Raine introduced early isn’t a bad idea.”

Brad had nothing to say to that.

When he stayed quiet, Tyrone sighed and stood up. “Honestly, I thought you and Raine were the most likely pair. You two are always hanging out together. Guess I was wrong.”

In his last life, Brad had liked Raine.

But this time, even Aella’s feelings had changed. Tyrone wasn’t sure of anything anymore.

Brad walked him to the door, still sulking.

As soon as Tyrone stepped outside, Brad muttered, “Man, I was just waiting for Raine to graduate before I went for it. What’s your hurry?”

Tyrone suddenly stopped walking.

When Brad looked up and met Tyrone’s eerie smile, he instinctively took two steps back.

Tyrone patted his shoulder. “Good luck. I believe in you.”

Brad blinked in confusion.

As Tyrone left, his mood lightened.

If it isn’t Brad… then who could it be?

Aella did know a lot of people, but she was only 20–something, just out of college.

She had sold that family jewelry, then somehow landed a job at Westside Hospital right after. All of that–Tyrone knew–was thanks to Daniel helping her behind the scenes.

Kind–hearted. Keeps his feelings secret. Mysterious identity.

Could it be Daniel?

A few days later, Virginia brought Tyrone and Raine to visit an elder at the hospital.

In the hallway, they ran into Aella and Daniel.

1/4

Tyrone stopped walking. He saw Aella in a white lab coat, her hair tied up in a ponytail, walking beside Daniel.

His dark eyes locked on her carefully done makeup.

Aella never wore makeup when they were kids.

Now she was trying to impress someone–he was sure of it.

Raine smiled and waved. “Hey, Aella!”

Aella and Daniel both came over politely.

Because Tyrone’s stare felt so sharp, Aella decided to greet him first. “Hi, Tyrone.”

Virginia glanced back at Tyrone, then sighed. “Aella, I actually have some errands nearby. How about we grab lunch together later?”

Since Virginia was the elder—and she said it right in front of Daniel–Aella couldn’t refuse.

At noon, Aella arrived at the restaurant only to find Tyrone there alone.

She sighed quietly.

It felt like everyone in the world was trying to push her back toward Tyrone.

Anyone who knew she was the one who called off the wedding thought she was heartless or fake.

Tyrone finally looked up from his phone when he saw her hesitating a few steps away.

He stood, met her halfway, took the bag from her hands, and pulled out her chair like a gentleman.

Aella stayed standing. “Where’s Virginia and Raine?”

Tyrone’s deep gaze locked onto her face. “You said it yourself—we grew up together. Now that my mom and Raine aren’t here, you can’t even have lunch with me alone?”

With him saying that, Aella couldn’t exactly argue.

She sat across from him calmly.

After ordering, she handed him the menu.

Tyrone didn’t take it. “I’ll have whatever you’re having.”

2/4

Aella hesitated, then set the menu down beside him. “How would I know what you like to eat?”

Tyrone was notoriously picky.

In her last life, she had tried to impress him by cooking for him herself—and ended up making a complete fool of herself.

She wasn’t about to repeat that mistake.

She didn’t even want to order for him now.

Tyrone stared straight at her for a few seconds, then turned to the waiter. “I’ll have the same thing she ordered.”
