Scars Of A Broken Bond by Calv Momose

Chapter 1621

"The shares now belong to Jennie. Even if you're unaware of this thing, I won't let Jennie suffer any injustice," Tyrone said solemnly.

Royce gave a small nod. He gathered the two documents and set them aside. "I'll hold on to these for Jennie."

Tyrone's smile was faint. "I don't mind."

"What's your opinion on Keilani?" Royce sipped his wine.

After Keilani had shared the events of the previous day, Royce suggested calling the police to take action against Tyrone. However, Keilani intervened, claiming Tyrone was oblivious to Kira's intervention and hadn't intended any wrongdoing.

Royce suspected Keilani harbored feelings for Tyrone, assuming Keilani probably discovered Tyrone was the father and then decided to reconnect with Jennie.

Royce sighed. If Tyrone hadn't married and was single, he could be the right man for Keilani. Yet, Tyrone had divorced and was entangled with his ex-wife, with prospects of reuniting. Thus, Royce was against Keilani pursuing a relationship with Tyrone.

Tyrone replied flatly, "Then I'll be direct. Keilani is headstrong and proud, always pampered by her family. I see her as nothing more than a sister."

"In that light, you should avoid leading her on."

"I've never led her on. Yet, the situation is out of my hands. She's Jennie's mother. How can I forbid her from visiting?" Royce froze, pondering. "I'd like to discuss Jennie's custody with you."

Tyrone's response was serene. "There's no need for discussion. Jennie and I believe the custody should be mine." Tyrone took a moment before adding, "Royce... You're aware of Keilani's character. She's immature. How could she possibly care for Jennie? I had taken Jennie in when I was still oblivious to me being her biological father. Now that I'm aware she's my own, my affection for her will only deepen. Plus, Jennie leans on me and prefers not to be with Keilani." Royce knew Keilani's nature and admitted Tyrone had a point.

One could easily draw a conclusion from the very few interactions between Jennie and Keilani.

Royce pointed out, "Yet, Keilani's presence in Mathias hinges on Jennie. Granting her custody would leave her no reason to linger here."

The previous day, Keilani had suggested it was best for Tyrone to raise Jennie. After all, she had no desire for custody and simply wanted to draw nearer to Tyrone. Why raise a child before being Tyrone's partner? The child would only serve as a burden.

'Her desire to be near Jennie stems from her wish to get close to me, not out of love for Jennie. Jennie gains nothing from staying with Keilani," Tyrone expressed. He had considered Royce's words deeply. Yet, with Jennie being his daughter, he couldn't just give up on her custody because of Keilani.
