Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent) novel Chapter 191

Melanie was crying. She had no idea what to do.

Right now, every choice seemed like the wrong one. No matter what she decided, it felt like a mistake.

...

Tyrone’s apartment.

Tyrone brought Alicia home and personally cooked a bowl of beef noodles for her. He even topped it with two poached eggs and six fresh tiger prawns.

“Wow, veggies, protein, and carbs—all here!” Alicia looked at the steaming bowl and grinned.

Tyrone sat across from her, watching her reaction, a gentle smile on his lips. “It’s my first time making noodles like this. I’m not sure if it’s any good. Try it and see if you like it.”

Alicia’s heart fluttered. She took a bite, and for a moment, she felt unexpectedly moved. Why did her eyes feel a little misty?

She nodded enthusiastically. “It’s delicious...”

“I’ve been learning,” Tyrone said, pulling out a book from the side table. It was all about nutrition and daily care during pregnancy.

Alicia was a little surprised—he really seemed to care about this baby.

A gentle warmth spread in her chest. Looking down at her still-flat stomach, she thought, at least this child is wanted by both parents. That’s a good thing, isn’t it?

“Tyrone, do you want a boy or a girl?” Alicia asked softly.

“I don’t mind either way. Boy or girl, all I want is for our baby to come into this world safe and sound.” Tyrone reached out and ruffled Alicia’s hair again.

Alicia eyed him skeptically. This felt oddly familiar.

“When I was little, I met an older boy who had a big golden retriever. He used to ruffle the dog’s head, then mine,” Alicia said in a low voice, studying Tyrone.

Back then, she couldn’t see—her world was darkness. She never knew what that boy looked like.

But she always knew the golden retriever would be there next to her, tongue lolling, waiting with her for the boy to ruffle their heads.

Somehow, those head pats had become her emotional lifeline—a quiet obsession. She guessed she and that stray dog were the same, both just wanting comfort and a place to belong.
