Cecilia was always a bit wary of Tyrone, instinctively wanting to go upstairs. However, after taking a few steps, she stopped and came back, "No, I can't go back to sleep."

She had just managed to interrupt the little romance brewing between Quintessa and her son. If she left, they'd just end up back together.

Quintessa knew what Cecilia was thinking. She gave a self-mocking smile. In everyone's eyes, she, Quintessa, was a true vixen, a source of trouble. Respectable families would never approve of her. But Quintessa braced herself, her smile no different than usual, "Auntie, are you afraid I'll devour your son?"

Being so guarded against made Quintessa feel bitter, yet her smile only grew brighter.

Cecilia, feeling her concerns were pinpointed, awkwardly said, "Of course, I'm not comfortable with you, this little siren, being with my son. Tonight, you must sleep with me."

Cecilia felt she needed to keep an eye on Quintessa. Letting her sleep alone in the guest room? No way, they might end up together again.

Tyrone was a mess inside. If Cecilia wasn't his mother, he might have lost his temper, go up and give her a good beat. That was the honest truth.

Tyrone was exhausted. Being tormented by these two women in the middle of the night made him feel the world was full of traps.
