Without a second thought, Aella said, “Daniel, let me attend the academic conference in three days. Give Dr. Payne the spot for the end-of-month trip to Vofgan instead.”

Daniel hesitated. “But if you’re going to Qruledo, you’ll have to leave tonight.”

“I can leave anytime,” Aella replied calmly.

Daniel studied her for a moment, then nodded.

Inside, Aella’s emotions churned.

This way, she could go to Qruledo early and get the procedure done there. She wouldn’t have to wait until the end of the month.

She was still thinking about her plan when she reached the elevator. Tyrone caught her wrist.

Aella glanced around and shook off his hand. “If you have something to say, do it in my

office.”

The door had barely closed when Tyrone suddenly pulled her into his arms.

Aella struggled, but he held her tight, refusing to let go.

His voice was low, rough, and full of helplessness.

“Aella, I’m sorry. I should’ve cleared things up about Zera right away. That was my fault.”

Aella fought to free herself. “You knew it was wrong, but you still did it.”

Tyrone said, “If I had clarified everything then, the school would’ve known Orson was a child born out of wedlock. He’s just a kid. He couldn’t handle that. Please, try to understand me.”

Aella finally pushed him away.

She stepped behind her desk, keeping distance between them.

“Well, congratulations. You finally admitted Zera’s your wife.”

Tyrone’s eyes were red; he locked his gaze on her.

He shook his head desperately. “No, Aella, that’s not what I meant!”

Aella said coldly, “Whether you meant it or not doesn’t matter. What matters is you said it

yourself-Zera is your wife. You said you didn’t want your son to be called illegitimate.”

Tyrone shook his head harder. “Aella, you have to trust me. It’s all been handled. I swear there won’t be a next time.”

Aella’s face turned cold. “Your promises mean nothing to me.”

She added, “Your son’s already six, and he’s vicious-both with his hands and his words. Maybe it’s time you start acting like a father.”

Tyrone came around the desk and gripped her shoulders.

He looked into her eyes, words caught in his throat.

Aella stared right back.

“At first, I simply thought you didn’t love me. But ever since Zera and her son came back, you’ve ignored me, suppressed me, and still refused to let me go. I thought you were a jerk.”

She paused, then continued, “Mr. Locke is my friend. He only wanted to cheer me up because he couldn’t stand seeing me living miserably. But you made his grandfather drag him back to Euravia by force.”

Her voice trembled with anger. “You and Zera deserve each other. You’re both disgusting.”

“Stop it!” Tyrone shouted, unable to stand the way she looked at him-with so much pain, hate, and accusation.

Aella said coldly, “The hospital assigned me to attend training in Qruledo. I have to leave tonight, and I don’t have time to waste with you. Go find Zera. By the time I come back, I hope you’ve already decided about the divorce.”

Tyrone staggered back a step.

His eyes were red. “Aella, I know you don’t want to see me right now. I’ll give you time to calm down. When you come back from Qruledo, we’ll talk again.”

Aella looked at him steadily. His face was pale and full of pain. Despite this, her

nothing but finality.

When Tyrone walked out of the hospital, Zera quickly ran up to him.

She studied his expression carefully and asked cautiously, “Tyrone … Mrs. Winter isn’t angry, right?”

Tyrone stopped walking.

His voice was cold. “Zera, I can help you for a while, but not forever, Orson’s already bullying his classmates at such a young age. Keep this up. He’ll grow up to break the law. You need to teach him properly.”

Zera rushed to defend her son. “Don’t make it sound so serious. He’s only six-what does he know? Besides, it was his first day at a new school. The other kids isolated him. He just lost his temper and lashed out at his classmate.”

Tyrone’s face darkened even further, his expression chillingly cold. Zera softened her tone. “I know I have caused trouble for you. I’ll talk to him tonight and make sure it never happens again.”

Tyrone felt restless. His mind unsettled and his body tense with frustration.”

Without another word, he turned and walked off quickly.

He didn’t go back to the office. He went home instead.

That evening, Aella returned to pack her belongings. Emma was in the kitchen cooking dinner, while Tyrone stood on the balcony, talking on the phone.

Aella packed a single suitcase and was about to leave when Tyrone stopped her at the door.

He stared at her, his voice low and almost pleading.

“Emma made dinner,” he said quietly. “Eat first. I’ll drive you to the airport after.”
