After a prolonged silence, Tyrone opened his eyes and regarded Rolf.
Why didnt you warn me sooner?
Rolf chuckled. I did advise you against being tender-hearted towards any woman not your wife. Tyrone, Ive known you long enough to recognize the affectionate glimmer in your eyes when you gazed at Sabrina before you even realized your own feelings.
Tyrones gaze grew distant, lost in the memories
It appeared he had harbored feelings for Sabrina longer than he had realized.
Upon suggesting divorce, he had assured her they would remain siblings.
The notion seemed ludicrous now.
How could a once-married couple transition to a sibling-Like relationship after divorce?
In the past, he hadnt fully realized it, but now he could discern that he uttered those words because he couldnt bear the thought of her leaving his life.
Once Sabrina consented to the divorce, his happiness faded away.
As a result, when Sabrina expressed her desire to resign and go abroad with Bradley, he vehemently objected and made every effort to convince her otherwise. Outwardly, it appeared that he deeply cared for her, viewing her as a sister.
In reality, it was purely self-serving.
Even at the court for the divorce proceedings, he conveniently forgot the document in his ward. Rather than retrieve it, he used it as a delay tactic.
He had the audacity to suggest divorce, yet dragged his feet through every step of the process.
In fact, he was not ready to let go.

Galilea had made several advances towards him, all of which he ignored.
He justified his indifference by convincing himself he didnt want her to risk an illegitimate child.
However, deep down, he knew it was because succumbing to Galilea would mean truly Losing Sabrina.
These contradictions, which now seemed clear as day, were inexplicable at the time.
Why did it take him so long to realize?
Those on the sidelines often have a clearer perspective. Your relationship with Galilea was largely on your terms. You always gave me the impression that she was dispensable to you. I didnt predict that Galilea would return, nor that you would rekindle your relationship. I believed you would understand that you were the only one who owed her.
Sabrina wasnt indebted to her. You shouldnt have wronged her to please Galilea. Galilea wasnt entitled to bear the burden of your faults.
Rolfs words reverberated in Tyrones mind, leaving him in a thoughtful daze for a moment. A smile tugged at his lips as he responded, Youre right. Why couldnt I see it before?
He recalled an instance from a few days ago, when he was on the brink of intimacy with Sabrina, only to be interrupted by a call from Galileas agent who informed him of her disappearance.
