He really is wonderful.
No matter what Tyrone did, he never rushed to tell Alicia about it. Yet somehow, he always managed to handle everything flawlessly.
“What do you want to eat? Take a look.” Tyrone led Alicia to a private dining room. Winnie, clearly uninterested in sitting down to eat, had already dashed off, buzzing with excitement as she worked the room to expand her network.
Tyrone rather liked girls with that kind of social intuition—Winnie knew exactly when to give them space to be alone together.
Alicia glanced over the menu and ordered a few of her favorite vegetables, then handed it to Tyrone.
He ordered a fillet of fish and, sitting close beside her, began methodically deboning it for her, his movements calm and precise.
Maybe it was the way he’d been brought up, Alicia thought, but watching Tyrone prepare the fish felt almost mesmerizing—a kind of quiet pleasure that made even the simplest gestures seem refined.
Suddenly, just as Alicia was happily tucking into her meal, someone kicked open the door on purpose. Nicole and Jade had both returned to Seaview City, and it was obvious they were here for Easton.
Of course, they weren’t about to miss a chance to take a jab at Tyrone, now that he was on the verge of losing his claim to the Lynch family inheritance.
It was no secret that Jade and her father were as cunning as they came; both could see Maddox was grooming Easton as the new heir. Especially Jade—after all the trouble Tyrone had caused her, her father’s business was still in ruins. There was no way she’d miss the opportunity for payback.
Tyrone’s expression darkened. He glanced at the waiter standing just outside.
“I’m so sorry, Mr. Lynch—I couldn’t stop them…” The waiter stammered nervously. “This lady insisted she knows you.”
Nicole strutted across the room and dropped into the seat opposite Tyrone, fixing him with a smug look. “Tyrone, you know exactly what Maddox intends, don’t you? As long as you refuse to divorce her and marry me, you’re never getting the Lynch family inheritance. You’ll be out on the street.”
