Zera lingered by the doorway of the hospital room, waiting until Tyrone finally left before daring to step out into the hall.

Why did he suddenly cancel everything and rush off early to Judshire on business?

Her thoughts spun until she noticed one of Aella’s coworkers walking by.

Zera remembered, this was the same girl she’d seen with Aella the day she went looking for her.

Zera stopped her. “Hi, excuse me. Is Dr. Reid working today? I need to talk to her.”

The woman replied, “Dr. Reid’s away in Judshire for a training program. She won’t be back until next week.”

When the woman left, Zera clenched her hands tight.

Aella was divorcing Tyrone. So why would he still travel to Judshire to see her?

Could it be that, after all these years, he had actually fallen for that woman?

No. That couldn’t happen.

She couldn’t let that happen.

That evening, in the housekeeping department of a downtown hotel in Judshire, Tyrone knocked on a door.

When Aella opened it, she froze in surprise.

“What are you doing here?”

“Business trip,” Tyrone said casually. “Heard you were here, so I came to say

Aella gave a curt nod and started to close the door.

Tyrone braced his hand on the frame and pushed his way inside.

hi.”

He looked around the modest room, frowning, “I booked a suite upstairs. Come stay there with

me.”

Aella crossed her arms, leaning against the dresser. “Mr. Winter, take some time to sign the divorce papers instead of saying nonsense.”

Tyrone’s eyes darkened. “This place isn’t suitable for you. Come upstairs so we can talk

properly.”

“There’s nothing to talk about,” Aella said calmly. “Other than the divorce.”

Tyrone took his time. “I called Prunella. Told her you were here. She’s on her way. She cares so much about you. Don’t you want to see her?”

Aella expression slowly turned stiff.

Prunella Slater. The name alone tugged at her heart. She had grown up next door to Aella’s family, a family friend and a gifted violinist.

Aella had learned her very first notes from her. Prunella was half mentor.

Aella had even planned to visit her before leaving Judshire.

She never imagined Tyrone would invite her here first.

“Prunella!”

Aella straightened her clothes and followed Tyrone upstairs to his suite. When she saw Prunella, her eyes lit up. She rushed forward and hugged her warmly.

She held Aella’s hand and led her to the couch. Tyrone poured juice for both women and sat across from them.

Prunella was well–known, a public figure. Though middle–aged, she dressed with taste and carried herself with effortless grace.

Looking at Tyrone and Aella, she sighed again and again. “What a pity,” she said softly. “If you two bring a baby to see me that would make me the happiest woman alive.”

Tyrone looked at Aella and said calmly, “When we have a baby, you’ll be the first to know.”

Prunella smiled. “You’ve been married three years. It’s about time you had a child.”

Tyrone’s eyes never left Aella. “You’re right. I’ll do my best.”

Aella almost laughed at how fake he sounded.

Still, she didn’t want to ruin the mood by bringing up divorce again in front of Prunella.

She smiled and changed the subject. “Prunella, when are you going back to Vleka? You have to

tell me.”

Prunella had only carved out a short visit from her busy schedule. She stood up, checking her watch. “Don’t worry. When my next tour takes me to Vleka, I’ll stay with you guys for a few

Ten minutes later, Tyrone and Aella walked her to the elevator.

As the doors slid shut, Aella shook off Tyrone’s hand from her shoulder.

Tyrone caught her wrist before she could step inside. “Aella, we need to talk.”

Aella tried to pull away, but his grip only tightened.

His gaze stayed locked on her face. “Are you walking in,” he asked quietly, “or should I carry you?”

Aella glanced around and forced his hand off. “Let go of me. I’ll walk.”

They went back to the suite. Tyrone shut the door behind them.

Aella stood before the couch, her expression cold. She said evenly, “I want a divorce. It’s not anger, it’s not a tantrum–I truly want to end this. You’ve read the divorce papers. I’ll pay you back the money within a month. After that, there’s nothing left to say between us.”

Tyrone stepped closer, his face stunned as he stared at her. “Don’t tell me you’re selling your mother’s jewelry?”

Aella turned her face away. “That’s my business. It has nothing to do with you.”

Tyrone frowned. “That jewelry means everything to your mother. How could you even think about selling it just to divorce me?”

Hearing him mention it, Aella’s eyes turned red. “If I don’t sell that and pay you back, would

still agree to divorce me?”

Their eyes met. Tyrone said nothing.

Aella pushed past him and walked to the window, staring out at the dark night sky. “That jewelry does mean the world to my mom,” she said quietly. “But between that and her daughter’s happiness, she’d rather give it up.”

Tyrone hesitated, then took a step back. “We can stay as we are for now. Give ourselves time to cool off. But you can’t sell that jewelry.”
