No matter how perfect someone seems, they all have flaws. They all make mistakes.

Just like she and Tyrone once did.

To outsiders, Tyrone had it all–calm, intelligent, well–mannered, born into privilege, and always composed.

Who would’ve thought that a man so flawless in everyone’s eyes could cheat on his wife, who was his childhood sweetheart? He tore her heart apart without mercy.

Now, with people like Mason and Victor around, Aella had learned what a healthy distance. meant. They could help each other, stay close when needed, and step back when not. It was just right.

She wasn’t stupid enough to fall in love again. Feelings only made people weak.

Now, success and money were the only real safety.

That morning, a little past nine, Aella arrived at the hospital’s inpatient wing. At the elevator, she ran into Anna and Daphne.

Aella glanced at them with a calm face, said nothing, and turned toward the other elevator.

“Dr. Reid,” Anna called out, stepping in her way.

Aella lowered her eyes, her gaze landing briefly on Anna’s belly. Her tone went cold. “Mrs. Cunningham, there’s a high–definition camera right above you. I’d stop right there if I were you.”

Anna quickly waved her hands. “Dr. Reid, you’ve got it wrong! What happened before was my fault. Zera tricked me into giving you a hard time. But now I realize she deserved everything that’s happened to her.”

She lowered her voice, trying to sound sincere. “Dr. Reid, I swear I’ll never bother you again. Could you please—just this once–say something nice about me to Mr. Winter? Ask him not to cancel the partnership with our company.”

Aella’s tone stayed calm but firm. “I have nothing to do with Mr. Winter anymore. I can’t help you.”

And with that, she stepped into the elevator, and the doors closed between them.

The moment Aurelia walked in, she spotted Sayer stretched out on the couch like he owned the place. Sayer panicked, jumped up, and dashed out the door–wearing only one slipper.

Daniel had no control over his sister. He sighed, rubbing his forehead. “Aella, maybe don’t invite Aurelia next time. That girl is a troublemaker; nobody can handle her.”

Aella chuckled. “Come on, don’t be so dramatic. Aurelia’s just outgoing and, honestly, kind of adorable.”

She checked the time and smiled. “Stay a bit longer. Let’s play poker this afternoon.”

Daniel agreed without thinking twice. As soon as he did, Aella pulled out her phone to call a few more people over.

A moment later, the door to the guest room opened, and Henry walked out. Daniel blinked. “Hmm, this boy…?”

Aella explained, “It’s the weekend. I brought Henry here to liven things up a bit.”

When Henry spotted Daniel, he ran over cheerfully. “Hi, Daniel!”

Daniel picked him up with a smile. “Where’s your dad? Didn’t he come with you?”

Henry replied with a straight face, “Daniel, I’m not a guest here. Aella said that her home is my home.”

Daniel laughed and turned to Aella. “You hear that? This kid’s sharper than his dad.”

The room was full of laughter as Brad walked in, followed by Sayer. That made four of them at the table. Aurelia and Clyde sat nearby to watch.

“Mr. Locke, switch seats with me,” Aella said firmly. She wanted to be Brad’s

opponent.

Henry patted her arm comfortingly. “Aella, you really need to practice your card skills. I’ll ask my dad to teach you next time.”

Aella could only smile awkwardly.

Who would’ve thought a top medical graduate could lose a card game to a six–year–old?

Henry offered her a snack, holding it up to her mouth. “I was just kidding. As long as you’re happy, I’ll make my dad pay if you lose.”

Sayer was jealous. “Henry, how about you become my godson? If I lose, your dad can pay for

me too.”

The boy shook his head quickly. “Nope. I don’t need another dad; I need a mommy.”

That one line from the little boy made everyone burst out laughing.

Brad watched that clever boy with a grin, clicking his tongue twice.

Mason doesn’t need to do anything; this kid could wrap Aella around his tiny finger all by himself,

“Alright, everyone,” Brad said, pulling out his phone. “Smile. I’m posting this.”

He recorded a short video and uploaded it to Instagram.

Minutes later, Tyrone saw it.

In the video, Aella’s parents were cutting fruit in the open kitchen. Aella sat at the table playing poker with Daniel and the others. Little Henry sat beside her, feeding her snacks.

Whatever the boy said made her laugh—a genuine, bright, carefree laugh.

Tyrone replayed the clip again and again.

Every time he went to their house in the past, it had been just like this–warm, lively, and full of laughter.

He’d sit with Aella and Clyde in the living room while her parents cooked something delicious. for them.

Tyrone rarely talked much, but they treated him like their son–asking if he’d eaten, if he was tired, and if he’d been sleeping well.

Back then, little Clyde admired him. The boy would follow him around, always saying “Tyrone this, Tyrone that,” asking his opinion about everything.

Now, their home was still filled with warmth and laughter, but without him.
