Once Cast-Off Wife Now Untouchable Queen novel Chapter 413

**Chapter 413: Aella’s Birthday Surprise**

Tyrone exuded an aura of charm and nobility, his handsome features drawing the gaze of nearly everyone around them. His presence was magnetic, and it was hard for passersby not to steal glances at the striking couple.

As Aella and Tyrone strolled side by side, they made quite the pair. Aella, unfazed by the envious stares from onlookers, navigated through the bustling market with purpose. The strong, briny scent of the sea mingled with the vibrant chaos of the stalls, but she pushed through it, determined to find the perfect seafood for her family’s dinner.

Suddenly, Tyrone stepped into a puddle, the water splashing up to soak his immaculate leather shoes. He paused, pulling out a tissue to dab at the wetness, but his attention was quickly diverted by Aella’s animated bargaining with a vendor. With a resigned sigh, he tucked the tissue back into his pocket, choosing to observe her instead.

“Let’s check over there,” Aella suggested, pointing toward a cluster of stalls that promised better deals.

Tyrone nodded in agreement, excitement bubbling within him. He had been invited to assist her in selecting seafood, and the mere thought of spending time with her made him giddy. Even if it meant wandering through the market all day, he wouldn’t dare complain, as long as she wanted him there.

Aella, however, was oblivious to Tyrone’s internal musings. Her focus was sharp, intent on finding someone specific. In her previous life, Zera had orchestrated a carefully planned accident during Tyrone’s junior year of college, positioning herself as his savior. The entire Caldwell family had been complicit in that scheme, which meant they were already familiar with Tyrone at this point in time.

Aella’s mind raced as she recalled Zera’s sister-in-law, Daphne, who, along with her husband Julian, owned a seafood stall in this very market. While they might not yet know Aella, they would undoubtedly recognize Tyrone.

As they moved deeper into the market, Aella’s eyes lit up when she spotted Daphne.

Tyrone, noticing Aella’s determination, saw her stride purposefully into the market, ignoring the way her shoes squelched in the puddles.

He halted and gently grasped her hand. “There are plenty of stalls here. Maybe we should stick to the cleaner areas,” he advised, concern lacing his voice.

Aella playfully yanked her hand away, a teasing smile on her lips. “Oh, right, I forgot! You’re the pampered heir who’s never braved a place like this. Why don’t you wait in the car? I can handle this myself.”

Tyrone simply smiled, his resolve unwavering. “I’ll walk with you a bit longer,” he replied, unwilling to be deterred.

As Aella approached a stall, Tyrone discreetly pulled out his phone, sending a quick text.

Before Aella could even reach the stall, Daphne greeted her with a warm smile. Aella approached as if it were the most natural thing in the world. She crouched down, eyeing the spiny snow crabs in a box, eager to inquire about their price.

Before Daphne could respond, Aella’s gaze flicked to Tyrone, who had stepped closer, offering his hand to help her rise. “The ground is wet. Be careful,” he cautioned gently.

Aella stood up, her eyes locking onto Daphne and Julian, who appeared utterly astonished by Tyrone’s presence.

Aella felt a rush of excitement. If they recognized him, the entire transaction would be much easier.

She gestured toward the snow crabs. “Tyrone, my mom absolutely loves these. Let’s get a few more,” she suggested, her enthusiasm infectious.

Tyrone glanced at the entire crate before declaring, “We’ll take all of them.”

Aella pointed to another box filled with vibrant red prawns. “And those too!”

“Pack them all,” he insisted, determination in his voice.
