Left alone, Keilani had no choice but to return to Royces house.
Keilani, youre back. As Keilani walked into the living room, she saw Alice sitting comfortably on the sofa.
Keilani made her way toward Alice and sat beside her. How is it going? Did you pretend to bump into Lance and grab a meal with him in Centenia?
Alices mouth twitched downwards a little, and she answered, No.
Why? Why dont you seize such a golden opportunity?
Hes really tied up with work. Im worried about getting on his nerves and making him dislike me even more.

You! Why cant you be more assertive? If you were as cunning as Sabrina, you wouldnt have been in this situation.
Alice forced a smile, brushing off Keilanis comment. Lets not focus on me right now. How about you? How are things with you?
A triumphant smile tugged at Keilanis lips. I had Lunch with Tyrone and Jennie moments earlier. Tyrone mentioned hes not planning to remarry Sabrina anytime soon. And you know what? I bad-mouthed Sabrina, and he didnt argue back.
Despite Jennies tearful insistence on leaving with Tyrone, the overall experience of how the meal went had left Keilani feeling content.
Alice replied, It looks like things are looking up then. I offer you congratulations in advance for getting Tyrone as soon as possible.
Thank you for your blessing.
As they were chatting away, the living room door swung open, and Lance entered with a suitcase in tow.
Lance, youre back. Have you been busy lately? Keilani rose and greeted Lance.
Hearing Keilani, Lance stared at her intently but responded with silence.

Hey! Why are you looking at me like that? As Lances eyes bore into her, Keilani couldnt help feeling a sense of unease. He was looking at her like she was a guilty criminal.
Lance withdrew his sharp gaze and redirected his attention to Alice, his tone clipped as he addressed her, Alice, could you give us some privacy? I have something to talk to Keilani.
Keilanis heart skipped a beat. Did he find out about her being Jennies so-called biological mother? Although she knew this conversation was inevitable and this day would come, she hadnt seen it coming this soon and hadnt formulated a plausible explanation for the situation yet.
Alice offered a comforting look to Keilani before heading upstairs.
Lance, what do you want to say to me? Keilani asked tentatively, her voice betraying her nerves. She swallowed hard.
Whats this Im hearing about Jennie? Lance pushed the suitcase against the wall and strode to the sofa, seating himself with his trousers clutched in his hands.
You Well Dont you already know everything? Shes my daughter,
Keilani whispered, her eyes darting around anxiously.
What happened? Tell me everything!
