Eddie cleared his throat. “Um...”
It was an awkward situation, and Sabrina’s face paled with embarrassment.
Walking in with Sabrina, Tyrone rebuked, “Could you please keep your mouth shut? What are you even saying?”
At this point, Tyson realized the woman standing behind Tyrone was Sabrina, not Galilea.
Quickly, he rose to his feet, apologizing. “Sabrina, I apologize.
Please have a seat here. I’ll atone by drinking three glasses of wine. Please don’t take my words to heart.”
He then filled his glass with wine.
Not just Tyson, others too had mistaken Sabrina for Galilea.
Not because they resembled each other, but because Tyrone had never escorted a woman to such gatherings before.
Upon Galilea’s return from overseas, Tyrone had brought her here a couple of times.
So, it was a given for them to think that Galilea was the only one Tyrone would bring here.
Except Rolf, they all thought Sabrina and Tyrone were nothing more than siblings and they only needed to exchange
pleasantries to sustain a pleasant atmosphere.
No one had expected Sabrina to accompany Tyrone to such a venue.
“It’s all right. It’s not your fault. It’s my brother who’s at fault. Since he often brings Galilea here, he should stick to it.” Sabrina
positioned herself on the sofa, offering Tyrone a subtle smile.
Tyrone caught the sarcastic undertone in her voice, but he didn’t respond in anger. He chose to sit beside her and inquired,
“Does it upset you when I bring her here?”
“Why would I be upset? She’s supposed to be my sister-in-law, right?”
“From now on, you’ll be the only one I’ll bring here. Will you forgive me, please?” Leaning towards Sabrina, Tyrone placed his
right hand on the back of the couch behind her.
Everyone present knew something.
Tyrone had brought Sabrina here on purpose. Their interaction hinted at a new development.
Tyrone, the man he was, rarely used the words “forgive me.”
Tyson and the others exchanged glances but didn’t exhibit much surprise. They continued their prior conversation, but were a bit
distracted.
The thought of Tyrone falling for Sabrina was beyond their comprehension.
Among the group, Sabrina was always an outsider.
Everyone respected her, yet no one took her seriously.
