He didnât want Alicia to feel upset.
But there was always someone out there stirring up trouble. While Tyrone was in the kitchen, someone sent Alicia the photo of her and Vincent.
âIâve already told Tyrone about you and Vincent going out. Just waitâheâs bound to take it out on you.â
Nicole first added Alicia on social media, then sent her the photo along with that message.
Alicia started to panic a little. Judging by the angle of the photo, there was no way she could easily explain what she and Vincent were doing.
Had Nicole really sent it to Tyrone already? Had he seen it yet? Why... wasnât he angry? Why hadnât he confronted her?
If he hadnât seen it... maybe she still had time to explain.
But if he had... did that mean he just didnât care?
Growing up with a deep sense of insecurity, Alicia had always doubted herself, forever worrying about what others thought.
Anxiously, she got to her feet and walked to the doorway of the kitchen.
Tyrone was busy inside, moving around with such effortless grace that even cooking, he looked like something out of a magazine.
Alicia clenched her fingers, her palms starting to sweat.
âWhatâs wrong? Why are you just standing there? Come and sit down.â Tyrone noticed her hovering in the doorway and smiled.
She always wore her heart on her sleeve.
âI went to a class reunion today, but it was a setup. It wasnât even at the place they told me. Vincentâs mom and Minaâs mom were thereâthey tried to give me money, asking me to forgive Mira and Henry.â Alicia finally blurted out the truth, summoning her courage.
Tyrone brought a steaming dish to the table and looked at her. âSo youâre finally telling me?â
Aliciaâs nose stung. So he did know after all.
If he wasnât angry, did that mean he didnât care?
âVincentâs mom thought I still had feelings for him, so she called Vincent over to ask me herself. But Vincent didnât pressure me,â Alicia said softly.
âDo you still have feelings for him?â Tyroneâs gaze was steady.
Alicia shook her head. âNo... I donât.â
âLetâs eat,â Tyrone said, nodding toward the sink. âGo wash up first.â
She hesitated, then ventured, âArenât you... angry? Nicole said she sent you the photo.â
âOh, Iâm angry,â Tyrone replied, leaning back in his chair, âbut I still have a brain, you know.â
Aliciaâs eyes widened. âYou believe me?â
Tyrone always seemed willing to see things from her perspective, willing to trust her.
âNo.â He shook his head, a teasing smile on his lips.
Aliciaâs heart sank a little.
âIâm just pretty confident,â Tyrone grinned. âWith a husband as amazing as me, are you really going to pine for someone else? That doesnât make any sense.â
Alicia stared at him for a second, then burst out laughing. Just like that, the storm cloud hanging over her heart vanished.
âMm...â she murmured shyly, taking a quick sip of water to hide her face.
âThatâs it? Just âmmâ?â Tyrone handed her a fork. âIâve got tomorrow off. How about I take you out somewhere?â
Aliciaâs eyes lit up. âReally? Iâd love that.â
...
Yvonneâs apartment.
As soon as Yvonne got home, she started calling every big name in the design industry she knew, building connections for Alicia.
She couldnât reveal Aliciaâs identity just yet, but she could do everything in her power to help her.
âAny news?â Sean Quinn was sprawled on the sofa. As Yvonne passed by, he pulled her onto his lap, placing a hand gently on her belly.
Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent)
ï¤Chapter 214 Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse ï¤Chapter 760 - 756: Encountering a Man with Evil Intentions âWhat, you think youâre Cupid now? One shot, one miracle?â Yvonne shot him an exasperated look. âGrow up, Sean. Youâre not a teenager anymore âdonât be so childish.â
Sean pulled a wounded face. âSo now Iâm too old for you? A few years back you complained I was too youngâânot mature, not stable enough.ââ
Yvonne rolled her eyes, refusing to take the bait.
âAnyway, Iâve got some real news,â Sean said, suddenly serious. âThat psycho Chester caughtâthe one who tried to poison an orphan at the hospital âthat orphan is Alicia. And by sheer coincidence, we may have found the person who killed your sister and her husband all those years ago.â
Yvonne shot upright, grabbing Sean by the collar. âSomething this huge, and you only tell me now?â
