Sabrina and Jennie walked into the living room and bumped into Kira.
Kira's expression turned serious, her discontent evident as she glanced at Sabrina.
"Hello," Sabrina greeted calmly.
"Grandma!" Jennie exclaimed, rushing to Kira with a bright smile. "You're here!" Kira bent down, planting a gentle kiss on Jennie's cheek.
"Jennie, are you happy I'm here to pick you up?" Pouting, Jennie looked down at her hands, fiddling with them nervously. "Are we going back now?" She wasn't quite ready to go back. What should she do? Kira was disappointed when she saw the look on Jennie's face. Her face twisted into a scowl, and she snorted.
"What's wrong? You don't want to come back with me? Really?" Jennie's face turned pale. She murmured, "Well, not really.
I want to stay here for a few more days."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKira had just arrived today. She had planned to stay for a few days with Wanda.
But when she saw how Jennie was behaving, fury surged within her. She glared at Sabrina with intense anger, then grabbed Jennie's hand and began to pull her to the door with quick, brisk steps. "Let's go! You're coming back with me right now!" she boomed.
Jennie trembled, taking a step back. Her lower lip jutting out in a pout, but she couldn't escape Kira's firm grip.
Sabrina swiftly positioned herself in front of Kira. "Wait, what are you doing? It's not that Jennie doesn't want to go back." "How dare you? You keep trying to pursue Tyrone, even after the divorce. Do you think | don't know he wants to keep Jennie just because you can't have a baby? If you want to show gratitude to the Blakely family, stay away from Tyrone!" Kira's provoking words fueled rage within Sabrina. She took a deep breath to calm down. When she was about to
respond, Wanda stepped forward and pulled Kira by the arm. "Kira! What nonsense are you talking about?" Kira shook off Wanda's hand, her eyes blazing with fury.
She pointed an accusatory finger at Sabrina and scolded, "Have | said anything that wasn't true? Why did Tyrone suffer from gastrorrhagia? It was because of her, wasn't it?" She then turned to face Sabrina and sneered, "You won't let Tyrone go even after he divorced you! You're like a leech, coiling yourself around him and refusing to let go.
But Tyrone is a kind man. He deserves better than you!" "Why do you have to make a fuss here?" Wanda berated.
"ARI" Jennie was so frightened by all the yelling that she burst into tears.
Sabrina hurriedly approached Jennie, her arms outstretched for a warm embrace.
But before she could reach her, a pair of arms scooped Jennie into an embrace.
Sabrina turned around, and saw that it was Tyrone.
He held Jennie with one arm, and wiped the tears from her face with the other hand. His voice was soft and soothing.
"Jennie, don't cry. I'm here with you. If you don't want to go, you don't have to. No one can force you." Jennie rested her face on his shoulder and sobbed.
Tyrone gently patted her back and looked up at Kira, maintaining a calm expression. "Aunt, since you're here, you should spend your time peacefully with Grandma.
Otherwise, go back. | think Hojiery is more suitable for you." Kira's jaw dropped, and she stared at Tyrone in disbelief.
"Tyrone, are you driving me away? I'm your aunt. You're defending this woman." "The woman you're talking about is the one | love! | respect you as my aunt, but you haven't been helping maintain harmony lately. | won't tolerate it," Tyrone remarked, his expression serious.

He allowed the woman who caused his grandfather's death to escape, and although he said he had reasons, he wouldn't explain them.
Sabrina believed the one he loved was Galilea.
"Okay, fine!" Kira sneered. "Now you're taking her side! You show no respect for your aunt!" She snorted and stormed up the stairs, her footsteps echoing through the hallway. When she passed by Sabrina, she narrowed her eyes at her and said through gritted teeth, "Only for Jennie's sake, | won't make a fuss with you.
But mark my words, Sabrina. From now on, you stay away from Jennie!" Then she continued upstairs.
As Kira's back disappeared up the stairway, Wanda placed a comforting hand on Sabrina's shoulder. "Don't take it to heart, Sabrina. Kira has always had a fiery temper. When she's upset, she tends to lash out. It's just the way she is." "| understand."
Sabrina felt deep gratitude towards Cesar and Wanda for all the help they had given her over the years. She was willing to bear Kira's scolding for their sake. Besides, Sabrina and Kira only met each other once or twice a year.
"Can't | play with Aunt Sabrina anymore?" Jennie's voice trembled as she spoke, and her eyes filled with tears. She wrapped her arms tightly around Tyrone's neck and gazed at Sabrina under wet lashes.
"Of course, you can play with Sabrina. Whenever you want to play with her, just go ahead and play. No one can control you or tell you who you can be friends with." "But what if Grandma gets mad?" Tyrone smiled. "Don't worry about that. Your grandma was just upset for a little while. Besides, I'm here to make sure you're safe." "Okay." Jennie leaned her head on his shoulder, looking very dependent.
With their similar features, they looked like father and
daughter. oo ‘Wanda watched the unfolding scene, her mind racing with questions. As she pondered Kira's attitude, a sudden idea crossed her mind.
