Alice remarked with a smile, What a coincidence! Why dont you go say hi?
Keilani made a move to get up but paused, recalling Tyrones words this morning. Her expression darkened. Approaching him again could just irritate him more.
Is everything alright? Alice noticed the shift in Keilanis expression.
Keilani bit her lip, hesitating, then admitted, He doesnt really think highly of me. I should stay away.
Alice was about to respond when she noticed a middle-aged woman seated across from Tyrone. She suggested, Maybe the woman over there is a relative of his. You could leave a good impression on her so she can vouch for you.
Keilani nodded, stealing glances at Tyrone now and then.
Tyrone shot a glance at Kira, who was seated across from him, and casually remarked, Hey, aunt.
Tyrone never addressed Kira as Mom.
Hearing this, Kiras temper flared.
You still call me aunt? If I hadnt made the trip to Philade to see you, youd probably have forgotten about me, right?
In the past, whenever Tyrone was on business trips, he always made a point to stop by Hoijery and visit Kira.

However, this time was different. Kira discovered that Tyrone was leaving for Mathias tomorrow. Despite the distance, she was upset he hadnt visited her in Hoijery. Tyrone knew she was his mother, yet he had come to Dracwynne and deliberately avoided her.
Tyrone replied with a smile, trying to deflect, No, its not like that. This trip was unexpected, and Im short on time. Next time Im here on business, Ill make sure to visit you.
Suddenly, Tyrone felt someones gaze on him. His sharp eyes Locked onto Keilani, but he quickly looked away, feigning indifference.
He noticed me, Keilani muttered to herself, her heart racing at the brief eye contact. She was slightly concerned he might think she was following him.
Dont worry, Alice reassured her.

Kira, arms crossed, shot a disdainful look at Keilani from the corner of her eye. Her tone turned scornful.
I know youre here because of Sabrina. Tyrone, while you were being questioned, Sabrina was Living it up here. Cant you see her for who she really is? She is
Tyrone cut Kira off, I was the one who sent her here. I dont want her to be implicated.
Kira was stunned momentarily and then angrily retorted, Tyrone, are you so smitten with her that youd make such excuses? Arent you concerned she might go back to her ex? Remember, they share a child!
Kiras words carried a deeper meaning.
Tyrones expression darkened. He clenched his fist briefly, then relaxed.
Aunt, youre overthinking. Ive arranged for her protection. Im well aware of who shes been in contact with. But from what youre suggesting, you seem to know the man. Is he from Philade?
Kira laughed softly, shaking her head.
