Tyrone looked straight at Alicia, his eyes serious. "I love you."
If he didn't love her, why would he have gone to such lengths, planning and working for their future?
Alicia's gaze wavered, her eyes welling up. The next moment, she sprang up and threw her arms around Tyrone.
He said he loved her, so she believed him.
Because Tyrone wasn't the sort of man who compromised easily; he certainly wasn't someone who tossed out the word "love" without meaning it.
Tyrone gave a small smile, holding Alicia close as he walked out with her still wrapped around him.
His assistant trailed after them, half-jogging while pushing the suitcases, doing his best to pretend he hadn't heard a thing.
The best scenario would be for Alicia and Tyrone to treat him like he was invisible right now.
"Mr. Lynch... are you sure you still want me on your team?" Felix asked nervously just before they got in the car.
Tyrone shot him a puzzled look. "What's this, Felix? Planning to jump ship?"
Felix raised a hand, swearing. "Absolutely not, sir. Never crossed my mind." Tyrone narrowed his eyes. "Then what's got your conscience acting up?"
Felix took a deep breath and confessed in a low voice, âI messed up. I didn't pick up on things. I always thought you and Miss Shelton had a simple contract marriage, that she was just your... well, your sugar baby. Like all those other big shots with their side pieces..."
He added, even quieter now, "I even took Miss Shelton to meet a friend of mine who's, uh, got experience with that sort of thing. I thought she could pick up some tips on, you know, 'sugar baby etiquette'..."
Tyrone finally understood why, back then, Alicia kept calling him "Daddy" and acting so weirdly sweet.
So it was Felix who'd corrupted his wife.
Grinding his teeth, Tyrone let out a slow breath. "There's a project Evercrest Group is starting up in the middle of nowhere. Why don't you go take a nice, long break out there and reflect."
Felix looked like he might burst into tears. "Mr. Lynch, please have mercy!"
Tyrone just grunted, climbed into the car, and slammed the door.
Alicia watched the two of them through the window, curious. What on earth were they muttering about out there? The vibe was definitely off.
Sitting inside, Tyrone glanced over at his sweet, obedient little bunny, then shot Felix a glare sharp enough to cut glass. His wife had almost been led astray!
"Don't go picking up nonsense like that again," Tyrone said, tugging Alicia into his arms. "I married you to be my wife, not for any of that other stuff."
Alicia thought for a moment, then looked up at Tyrone, her eyes
suddenly bright. "Tyrone, are vel net
you
totally broke now? It's okay, I've got money. I'll take care of you.
The corner of Tyrone's mouth twitched.
"I'll send you the 'Sugar Baby Survival Guide' Molly gave me," Alicia said with a grin, teasing him. "You should study up."
Tyrone couldn't help but smile too. Maybe it was that "I love you" from earlier giving her confidence, but Alicia was feeling bold enough now to tease him.
Felix hunched his shoulders and told the driver to just focus on the road.
Their Mr. Lynch, even after leaving
.net
Lynch Corporation, had enough money stashed away to live comfortably for several lifetimes-he was hardly at risk of needing to be "kept" by anyone.
But Felix wisely kept his mouth shut. Judging by Tyrone's expression, he was planning to milk this "down on his luck" act as long as he could to win Alicia's sympathy. S
At home.
Alicia and Tyrone returned to their house and, just like any ordinary couple, set
about making dinner together.
Cooking side by side, eating together at the table-it was simple, domestic
happiness.
Alicia noticed that since Tyrone had left Lynch Corporation, he seemed to have
more time for her than ever.
"Tyrone, don't be sad," Alicia said, looking at him earnestly. "Once I graduate, I'll get
a job and take care of you."
Tyrone smiled. "Alright."
Ding-dong.
The doorbell rang.
Because naturally, just when a couple is enjoying a quiet, happy evening, someone
has to show up and ruin it.
Alicia glanced at the doorbell camera.
It was Nicole.
