On stepping out of the living room, Sabrina withdrew her hand from Tyrones grasp.
Finding his hand now empty, Tyrone gazed at her retreating figure before reaching for her hand once more.
Sabrina attempted to pull away, but Tyrones grip only tightened, making it impossible for her to free her hand.
What do you want? She halted and stared at him, her eyes icy.
I should ask you the same.
What?
Tyrone said to her, You wanted me to act on my promise to Grandpa. I am doing exactly that, yet you continue to push me away, not even willing to give me a chance.
Her avoidance lately had been painfully noticeable.
Im not pushing you away.
No? Then what would you call this? Tyrone gestured to their intertwined hands, continuing, I also noticed you gave the cupcake to your assistant.
Sabrina was taken aback.
She wanted to question him about the cupcake he had given her years ago. Was it rejected by Galilea?
But she realized there was no point. The answer was likely yes.
In the past, they were practically strangers, and the notion of Tyrone getting her a cupcake was far-fetched,
She feared that if she asked about it, hed understand that she had harbored feelings for him since forever.
She had to keep her emotions under wraps.
Youre finding it hard to explain, arent you? Tyrone asked.
Sabrina gazed at Tyrone, questioning, Are you serious?
Absolutely. Tyrone looked into her eyes. Ive been fully committed to honoring Grandpas wish.
Sabrina lowered her gaze, remaining silent. She had sensed Tyrones growing care for her recently, but she had lost faith in him and couldnt allow herself to accept it.

She was terrified that she might once again become consumed by him, unable to break free, and eventually lose herself. Thus, she dared not embrace it.
Noticing Sabrinas silence, Tyrone moved closer to her, wrapping his arms around her and gently resting her head against his chest.
Sabrina, dont keep your distance from me anymore. Since weve made a promise to Grandpa, why not give us a chance?
