Scars Of A Broken Bond by Calv Momose

Chapter 1618

Keilani fixed her hair, her eyes sparkling with a hint of joy. It seemed that she had really chosen the right way. Although she had only recently gotten close to Jennie, Tyrone's attitude toward her had significantly softened.

Twenty minutes later, Tyrone arrived and entered the chamber.

This was the first time Tyrone and Keilani had met since that day.

Taking a seat opposite Jennie, Tyrone nodded politely at Keilani. "Excuse me. Would you mind if I join you for lunch?

"Please, have a seat." Keilani's expression remained cold, appearing as though she still had lingering anger toward Tyrone for his previous ruthless rejection in front of Wanda and Kira.

Tyrone stated, "I've been caught up in my work as of late. Thank you for taking care of Jennie."

*Jennie is my daughter, so it's my responsibility to take care of her. I didn't know you were planning to join us. I just ordered a few dishes. Would you like to add anything else?" Keilani asked.

"No, thank you. I'm fine," Tyrone replied.

Then, the waiter came in with steaming dishes balanced in his hand as he neatly served them on the table.

Looking down at the savory mutton dishes filling the table, Tyrone fell silent for a moment, his gaze shifting to Jennie. Jennie's expression was downcast, her head lowered under the weight of a guilty conscience.

Keilani served some food on Jennie's plate and said, "Let's eat."

After a brief pause, Tyrone reluctantly agreed, "Okay."

Seizing the opportunity to address the underlying tension between them, Keilani spoke up candidly. "I didn't expect Kira to advise us to get together. But I was more surprised when you turned it down without giving it much thought. Have you ever considered how practical it could be?"

Her words carried a subtle implication that the decision was solely Kira's, absolving herself of any responsibility.

Tyrone replied curtly, "No. Marriage for the sake of the child is not good for the child."

Keilani continued, "While I may not agree with the suggestion after thinking about it, I understand where she's coming from. Kira simply hopes Jennie can grow up in the company of her father and mother. I've been absent from Jennie's life for so many years. From now on, Ill prioritize her above all else. And what if Jennie wants us to be together?

Keilani hadn't given up despite Tyrone's blunt refusal. She didn't want her true intentions to be obvious, fearing being laughed at by Tyrone. So she used Jennie as an excuse, her underlying motive veiled behind concern for Jennie's well- being. She thought it was a decent excuse and that no one would see through her, but from Tyrone's point of view, Keilani's thoughts may as well have been written on her face, and she appeared nothing more than utterly desperate and ridiculous.

Tyrone glanced at Jennie and said matter-of-factly, "My life won't be influenced by my child."
