and Mom are divorced, you’ll be spending every day alone.”

With that, Tyrone turned and left without looking back.

Justin watched the father and son with a heavy heart but didn’t dare to say a word.

Ralph looked around the empty house and suddenly felt completely lost.

From a young age, he had poured everything into his career, turning the Winters into the most powerful family in Vleka.

Wherever he went, people looked up to him, eager to win his favor.

In the eyes of outsiders, he had wealth, power, status, a complete family, and accomplished children.

But in reality, his marriage was falling apart, his son had turned against him, and his daughter wanted nothing to do with him.

Was he going to spend the rest of his life facing this empty house alone?

For the first time in his life, Ralph knew what it felt like to be afraid.

On Christmas Eve, lights glowed warmly in homes across the city.

Ralph returned to the McCarthy Residence.

Robin stopped him at the entrance.

He said, “When my daughter married you, it was a union of equals–not her climbing the social ladder. She forgave your affair, but you never gave her the respect she deserved. Trampling on my daughter is the same as trampling on the entire McCarthy family!”

Ralph could hear the cheerful clinking of glasses and laughter coming from the dining room. He dropped to his knees before his father–in–law

For the first time in his life, Ralph bowed his head. “Mr. McCarthy, I was wrong!”

Robin said, “For the sake of the children, I can try to convince my daughter to go back. But I have conditions.”

Ralph nodded before Robin could even finish. “Mr. McCarthy, whatever conditions you have, I’ll agree to them.”

Robin said, “Divorce my daughter. Transfer all your assets into her name.”

Ralph was stunned, Mr. McCarthy, I don’t wand divorce

Robin replied, “You hurt my daughter. This diver is happening

He continued, “Not only will you divorce her, b Winter Grow will be handed ove Tyrone after Christmas

“My mom cooked this turkey for you right before I left.

“I brought the barbecue ribs, too.

“And broccoli.

“And some pastries our housekeeper made.”

Aella jogged over and put the cookie dough into the freezer. “My dad said they have to be frozen, or they’ll go bad.”

Tyrone’s gaze stayed fixed on Aella as she bustled around.

His eyes dropped to the roast turkey still sending up wisps of heat on the coffee table.

Tyrone’s eyes reddened at the corners.

He’d thought he was destined to endure this holiday night alone.

He hadn’t expected the Reids to be still thinking of him.

Not only had they sent him a holiday meal, but they’d also agreed to let Aella come keep him company.

Aella comforted him. “It’s okay. I see my parents every day, and they’re worried about you, too. Besides, my brother’s with them–but if I don’t come, you’ll have no one but yourself,”

She set them down, walked up to him carefully, and asked softly, “Tyrone … parents?”

Aella brought over two sets of utensils and noticed something off about Tyrone.

Tyrone shook his head.

He held Aella’s hand and asked, “It’s the holidays—what about Warren and Miriam?”

Today was Christmas Eve.

The night when every family reunites.

Aella should be with her parents.

Aella comforted him. “It’s okay. I see my parents every day, and they’re worried about you, too. Besides, my brother’s with them–but if I don’t come, you’ll have no one but yourself,”

Aella tugged Tyrone down to eat. “Don’t worry, Tyrone. If no one’s with you in the future, I will be.”
