From Discarded Wife to Queen (Tyrone) novel Chapter 406

Chapter 406 Daniel?

Brad frowned, curious. “Raine’s only 20. Isn’t her mom rushing things a little?”

Tyrone explained calmly, “Outstanding young men don’t stay single for long. Getting Raine introduced early isn’t a bad idea.”

Brad had nothing to say to that.

When he stayed quiet, Tyrone sighed and stood up. “Honestly, I thought you and Raine were the most likely pair. You two are always hanging out together. Guess I was wrong.”

In his last life, Brad had liked Raine.

But this time, even Aella’s feelings had changed. Tyrone wasn’t sure of anything anymore.

Brad walked him to the door, still sulking.

As soon as Tyrone stepped outside, Brad muttered, “Man, I was just waiting for Raine to graduate before I went for it. What’s your hurry?”

Tyrone suddenly stopped walking.

When Brad looked up and met Tyrone’s eerie smile, he instinctively took two steps back.

Tyrone patted his shoulder. “Good luck. I believe in you.”

Brad blinked in confusion.

As Tyrone left, his mood lightened.

If it isn’t Brad… then who could it be?

Aella did know a lot of people, but she was only 20–something, just out of college.

She had sold that family jewelry, then somehow landed a job at Westside Hospital right after. All of that–Tyrone knew–was thanks to Daniel helping her behind the scenes.

Kind–hearted. Keeps his feelings secret. Mysterious identity.

Could it be Daniel?

A few days later, Virginia brought Tyrone and Raine to visit an elder at the hospital.

In the hallway, they ran into Aella and Daniel.

Tyrone stopped walking. He saw Aella in a white lab coat, her hair tied up in a ponytail, walking beside Daniel.

His dark eyes locked on her carefully done makeup.

Aella never wore makeup when they were kids.

Now she was trying to impress someone–he was sure of it.

Raine smiled and waved. “Hey, Aella!”

Aella and Daniel both came over politely.

Because Tyrone’s stare felt so sharp, Aella decided to greet him first. “Hi, Tyrone.”

Virginia glanced back at Tyrone, then sighed. “Aella, I actually have some errands nearby. How about we grab lunch together later?”

Since Virginia was the elder—and she said it right in front of Daniel–Aella couldn’t refuse.

At noon, Aella arrived at the restaurant only to find Tyrone there alone.

She sighed quietly.

While they ate, Tyrone asked, “How’s your internship at the hospital going?”

Aella’s eyes lot.”

lit up at the topic. “It’s been great! Daniel’s been mentoring me, and I’ve learned a

The second she mentioned Daniel, Tyrone’s expression froze.

His hand tightened around his knife and fork. His gaze fixed on her.

Aella felt a chill run down her spine.

His face looked dark and tense, and the way he gripped his utensils was downright scary.

She cleared her throat, then picked up a piece of fruit and dropped it onto his plate. “Here. Have some fruit.”

Tyrone silently put his knife and fork down, staring at the fruit for a long moment.

Then he asked slowly, “Do you really know Daniel that well?”

Aella frowned. “What do you mean by that?”

Tyrone lowered his eyes. “When he was a kid, he was kind of chubby. Probably runs in the family.”

Aella stared at him, confused.

She frowned, thinking it over, but couldn’t figure out what he was getting at. Finally, she pointed at her own head. “Tyrone, could you speak a little clearly? I’m not that smart—I can’t keep up with you.”
