Scars Of A Broken Bond by Calv Momose

Chapter 1621

"The shares now belong to Jennie. Even if you're unaware of this thing, | won't let Jennie suffer any injustice,"

Tyrone said solemnly.

Royce gave a small nod. He gathered the two documents and set them aside. "I'll hold on to these for Jennie."

Tyrone's smile was faint. "I don't mind."

"What's your opinion on Keilani?" Royce sipped his wine.

After Keilani had shared the events of the previous day, Royce suggested calling the police to take action against

Tyrone. However, Keilani intervened, claiming Tyrone was oblivious to Kira's intervention and hadn't intended any

wrongdoing.

Royce suspected Keilani harbored feelings for Tyrone, assuming Keilani probably discovered Tyrone was the

father and then decided to reconnect with Jennie.

Royce sighed. If Tyrone hadn't married and was single, he could be the right man for Keilani. Yet, Tyrone had

divorced and was entangled with his ex-wife, with prospects of reuniting. Thus, Royce was against Keilani

pursuing a relationship with Tyrone.

Tyrone replied flatly, "Then I'll be direct. Keilani is headstrong and proud, always pampered by her family. | see

her as nothing more than a sister."

"In that light, you should avoid leading her on."

"I've never led her on. Yet, the situation is out of my hands. She's Jennie's mother. How can | forbid her from

visiting?" Royce froze, pondering. "I'd like to discuss Jennie's custody with you."

Tyrone's response was serene. "There's no need for discussion. Jennie and | believe the custody should be mine."

Tyrone took a moment before adding, "Royce... You're aware of Keilani's character. She's immature. How could

she possibly care for Jennie? | had taken Jennie in when | was still oblivious tobeing her biological father. Now

that I'm aware she's my own, my affection for her will only deepen. Plus, Jennie leans onand prefers not to

be with Keilani." Royce knew Keilani's nature and admitted Tyrone had a point.

One could easily draw a conclusion from the very few interactions between Jennie and Keilani.

Royce pointed out, "Yet, Keilani's presence in Mathias hinges on Jennie. Granting her custody would leave her no

reason to linger here."

The previous day, Keilani had suggested it was best for Tyrone to raise Jennie. After all, she had no desire for

custody and simply wanted to draw nearer to Tyrone. Why raise a child before being Tyrone's partner? The child

would only serve as a burden.

'Her desire to be near Jennie stems from her wish to get close to me, not out of love for Jennie. Jennie gains

nothing from staying with Keilani," Tyrone expressed. He had considered Royce's words deeply. Yet, with Jennie

being his daughter, he couldn't just give up on her custody because of Keilani.

Royce let out a sigh. "Is Sabrina kind to Jennie? Does Jennie enjoy her company?"

"Don't fret. Jennie is very fond of Sabrina. A few days back, Jennie dashed out of school searching for Sabrina,

which alarmed us."

"Oh? What unfolded?’ Royce Inquired.

Tyrone provided a concise explanation.

Royce sighed again. Keilani acted on impulse, doing things her way. She showed up at the kindergarten to see

Jennie, sparking rumors. How could Jennie possibly accept Keilani?

"You and Sabrina are still young. Eventually, you might have another child. What's your plan then?" Royce wasn't

aware of Sabrina's pregnancy and was merely speculating.

*Rest assured. All my children are dear to me. I'll ensure Jennie is treated fairly, especially with your oversight."

"In that case, Jennie should stay with you. Well revisit this discussion as she grows older." Royce gestured toward

the table, querying, "Have you remarried Sabrina?"

"Not yet."

"If there's no obstacle, consider remarrying her promptly." Royce hoped to prevent Keilani from entertaining

illusions. Tyrone looked down, sighing. "It's complicated. Sabrina had agreed to remarry but was mad atover

Keilani's being Jennie's biological mother. I'm worried remarrying might not be feasible..."

Tyrone knew Royce wanted to use their remarriage to dissuade Keilani. Yet, remarrying Sabrina right now would

undoubtedly get under Keilani's skin, likely driving Keilani to insane actions.

Tyrone assumed Keilani wouldn't target him directly. Chances were Keilani would seek other means to confront

Sabrina. Given Sabrina's pregnancy, it was crucial to ensure no harm cher way.

Royce was taken aback.

Tyrone stated, "It's better if Keilani doesn't dwell on me. Perhaps engaging her in conversation more often or

suggesting she return to Philade to reflect would help."

Lance had wanted to send Keilani back to Philade.

"Letponder this," said Royce.

After the meal, Jennie said goodbye to Royce and the rest.

Keilani saw this as a chance to depart with them, but Royce and Lance anticipated her intent and intervened.

Keilani was visibly upset.

Once in the car, Jennie started opening her presents, rubbing her belly with excitement.

Tyrone asked, "Jennie, do you enjoy spending twith your great-uncle and great-aunt?"

"Yes, I'm very fond of them." While Jennie was busy counting money, she suddenly mentioned, "I'm not keen on

uncle."

It seemed Jennie had picked up on Lance's disapproval of Tyrone. Lance's constant opposition influenced her

feelings, leading her to dislike Lance.

This revelation surprised Tyrone. "I'll take you to visit them often."

"Alright." An idea seemed to light up Jennie's face, and she beamed. "Those security guards are just fantastic!"

Tyrone smiled. Actually, those were guards.

"How about we go see Sabrina now? Does that sound good?"

"Yes!"
