Perhaps that was the only reason he was bothering her.

Tyrone's lips tightened, and he said nothing.

She had made it clear. She did not want to be with him again.

Her words cut him like a sharp blade, slicing into his heart.

"Sabrina, let's get in the car and leave," Bettie said, exiting the car and ushering Sabrina in. She shot Tyrone a glare before taking her place in the passenger seat.

When she first met Tyrone, she wanted to keep Sabrina away from him.

It was Aylin who urged her to let Sabrina handle it on her own, promising they'd step in if needed.

Sabrina had to face this herself.

Though divorced, Sabrina had no desire to have a falling-out with Tyrone. Wanda was still around, and they had to meet again.

As Bettie settled in, Aylin started the car and drove from the airport, leaving Tyrone standing alone, a picture of loneliness in the open parking lot.

His eyes, tinged with loneliness, were fixed on the car.

Sabrina turned her face, unwilling to look at him.

Bettie began to rant, "Tyrone's insufferable. He's marrying Galilea, yet he still bothers you."

Sabrina stayed silent.

"Forget him. Don't let him bring us down," Aylin said, glancing in the rearview mirror.

Bettie shifted the conversation, inquiring, "Sabrina, has Bradley declared his love for you?"

"No, don't speak such nonsense. We are merely friends," Sabrina replied, shaking her head. She was puzzled by her own statement.

"He hasn't admitted his love, yet you allowed him to kiss you?" Bettie questioned.

"When did he kiss me?" Sabrina exclaimed, bewildered.

"He kissed you at the airport gate, didn't he?"

Reflecting on the moment, Sabrina said, "He handed me a necklace and expressed his desire to help me put it on. It appeared as though he was kissing me."

Consequently, Tyrone concluded that Bradley had kissed her, and thus approached her to inquire if she and Bradley were romantically involved.

Bettie glanced over and caught sight of the necklace adorning Sabrina's neck. She smiled approvingly and remarked, "Bradley certainly has good taste. The necklace is stunning."

"I had no intention of accepting it, but he was persistent. I plan to return the favor with a gift of equal value."

"Oh, come on, Sabrina, why so formal? He gave it to you without expecting something from you in return."

"The necklace is a pricey item. Even though he's wealthy, I can't accept something so valuable without returning something."
