Besides… Clayton had his own selfish reasons.
Maybe, if Tyrone never found out who Alicia really was, he’d divorce her on his own.
And if they divorced…
Clayton frowned, uneasy with his own thoughts. He knew he shouldn’t be thinking this way, but once the idea took root, it sprouted and grew, impossible to ignore.
In the dead of night, Tyrone finally opened the door, moving at a deliberately slow pace. His shirt was half-buttoned, like he’d just rolled out of bed. “It’s late. Why aren’t you sleeping at your hotel? What are you doing pounding on my door? Just because nobody wants you doesn’t mean I’m single. Try to have some sense, will you?”
Clayton frowned again, his eyes turning cold. “Divorce Alicia.”
Tyrone’s own brow furrowed as he stared at Clayton, as if wondering if he’d shown up just to get punched.
“If you have so much time to gossip and get under my skin,” Tyrone said, his tone a warning, “maybe you should put that energy into finding your family’s real heiress. It’s been years and you still haven’t found her. Instead, you’re here meddling in my marriage? Don’t push your luck, Clayton. Friends have boundaries too.”
“You don’t love her. It’s just a contract marriage. Now that the child’s gone, this is the perfect time to get divorced,” Clayton pressed.
Tyrone let out a cold laugh. “Clayton, you never cared who I married before. If I did leave Alicia, do you actually think I’d turn around and marry Nicole White, that fake? You’d better hurry up and find your family’s real daughter. Before I get divorced, you can marry her and get the White family inheritance. We join forces—wasn’t that the deal all along?”
Tyrone’s irritation was growing. They’d already agreed: he wasn’t going to marry Ms. White. He already had someone he loved—Alicia.
He was going to find Alicia, marry her, no matter what.
Reginald had raised Clayton to inherit the White family. So once they found the real heiress, Clayton could marry her—problem solved.
Clayton took a deep breath. If you won’t divorce, how am I supposed to marry her?
