Left with no choice, Keilani started to repeat the narrative Kira had taught her to say, her words tumbling out in a rush.
The more Lance listened, the deeper the frown etched onto his face.
When Keilani finally finished, he regarded her with a penetrating gaze and asked, Have you finished?
Yes.
So the reason why you returned and decided to take Jennie back is because of Tyrone? Lance drew the conclusion.
Keilanis cheeks flushed crimson as she responded bashfully, I like him.
Keilani knew Lance wouldnt believe her words about maternal love so she simply told the truth. Alice hadnt had the chance to reveal the true one Lance desired, leaving Keilani still under the assumption that Lance adored Sabrina.
Keilani silently prayed for Lances support in her making advances toward Tyrone. After all, if she pursued a relationship with Tyrone, it could pave the way for him to have a chance with Sabrina.
Much to Keilanis surprise, Lance declared icily, Ive bought you a ticket. Youll go back to Philade tomorrow.
What? No! You are joking, right? Keilanis eyes widened in disbelief.

Keilani stood up abruptly and gazed at Lance, disbelief written all over her face.
If you still think of me as your brother, then please, just hear me out and head back to Philade tomorrow. Lance remained seated on the sofa, staring at Keilani intently.
Im not going back! Keilani, fuming with anger, huffed and retreated to the corner of the sofa. Well, if you want to go back, you can go back on your own!
Tyrone isnt the right man for you. Even if you two have a kid, he wont consider being with you, Lance calmly retorted.
Tyrone had an affair before and was head over heels in love with Sabrina. Caring parents wouldnt approve of Keilanis making advances toward Tyrone.
And how do you figure hes not my Mr. Right? How could you be so certain he wont consider spending his life with me? We just had lunch together today! Keilani yelled.

Seeing Keilanis refusal to budge, Lance felt a wave of disappointment and scoffed. You two didnt share the lunch alone, right? Jennie was there with you guys, wasnt she?
Tyrone having lunch alone with Keilani at this point would mean he was considering leaving Sabrina.
Well So what if Jennie is with us? Shes our daughter. Realizing Lance was on to something, Keilani quickly added, We had lunch together as a family. Doesnt that show where he stands?
Scrutinizing Keilani, Lance remained quiet for a few moments, baffled by how his sister could be this stubborn and foolish.
Sharing a meal didnt prove anything. It was common for friends, coworkers, classmates, clients, and even strangers to dine together.
The act of eating together didnt signify a special connection.
Keilanis statement suggested two issues. Firstly, Tyrone had never shared a meal with her before. Secondly, she lacked any close bond with Tyrone, resorting to their shared lunch as evidence of their association. The only reason Tyrone would have Lunch with Keilani was because she was supposedly the mother of Jennie.
Noticing Lances doubtful gaze, Keilani felt compelled to convince him, You have to trust me on this. He made it clear today that he has no plans to get back with Sabrina! Hes not going to remarry Sabrina! Do you know what this means?
