Chapter 210

“Lillian said she wants to introduce you to some people in the industry today. If you’re interested, I can set it up,” Tyrone said, glancing back at Alicia, who was nestled against his side like a downcast little bunny—soft, quiet, and endearing.

Such a good girl.

“Mhm!” Alicia instantly perked up.

Tyrone couldn’t help but smile wryly. As expected, his little bunny was still a career-driven girl at heart.

“That makes you this happy?” he teased.

Alicia nodded, eyes shining.

The fact that Tyrone was willing to pave the way for her career, to personally make time and help her network, made her incredibly happy.

After prepping the ingredients, Tyrone started cooking himself.

Alicia stood nearby, watching him with stars in her eyes.

He really was the total package.

It seemed like there was nothing Tyrone couldn’t do—and not just do, but do exceptionally well.

He truly was a wonderful, wonderful man...

...

The next morning, Tyrone took Alicia to the hospital for her prenatal checkup.

They ran a few tests—most of the results were good, but her progesterone levels were a bit low.

“Take good care of yourself,” the doctor advised Alicia. “In the first trimester, there’s always some risk of complications. Don’t lift anything heavy, and be careful not to fall or bump into things.”

Alicia grew anxious—she’d always been sensitive, and the doctor’s words felt like a heavy weight on her chest.

If she lost this baby, how long would her marriage to Tyrone even last?

How much longer would she get to enjoy the happiness and security Tyrone brought her?

She felt afraid, and terribly uncertain.

“Don’t worry,” Tyrone reassured her as they left the hospital, his hand firmly in hers. “Doctors say that to everyone. As long as you rest and take care of yourself, everything should be fine. Alicia, your studies are still the most important thing right now—pregnancy is just something happening along the way. Don’t stress yourself out.”

Alicia looked at him nervously. “Then... if something happens to the baby, would you still want to stay married to me?”

She just needed a clear answer.

Maybe, if Tyrone said it, she’d finally be able to relax.

“I wouldn’t leave,” Tyrone said, pulling her into a gentle embrace. “Let’s make a deal, Alicia. Until you become a well-known designer in this industry, we won’t even think about divorce.”

Alicia blinked in surprise and looked up at him.

Tyrone knew Alicia still had Vincent in her heart. Even if she didn’t love him anymore, it would take time before she could love someone new...

He was willing—glad, even—to be her stepping stone, her support.

He wanted to see her rise, to shine like a pearl in the limelight.

And when the day came that Alicia no longer needed him, if she wanted to leave... he wouldn’t hold her back.

“Really?” Alicia asked, uncertainty flickering in her eyes.

Would he really wait until the day she had made it, and only then let her go?

“I mean what I say,” Tyrone replied, squeezing her hand as they walked out. “No matter what happens with the baby, this promise stands.”

Alicia let him lead her, silent. For a moment, the noise of the hospital faded away, and all she could hear was her own heartbeat.

Was it truly possible to be this lucky, to meet someone as kind as Tyrone?

If she hadn’t known his background, Alicia would have thought she was dreaming—or perhaps walking into some sort of elaborate scam.

Maybe, after twenty-three years at rock bottom, her luck was finally turning.

...

The date for the class reunion had been set.

Chloe was especially active in their group chat, promising to bring a gift for every single classmate now that they’d graduated, saying it might be hard to see each other again in the future.

But everyone knew what she really meant: from now on, they’d all be drifting into different social circles. She was sure she’d rise higher and higher, leaving everyone else behind.
