Her eyebrows arched in surprise.
Rolf chimed in with an explanation, “That’s twenty thousand.”
Bewildered and a little alarmed, Sabrina’s attitude to the game quickly shifted.
At the stairway of the corridor, Tyrone finished his call and turned to see Eddie a few steps away.
“Why’d you step out?” Tyrone inquired.
“Just needed a bit of fresh air.” Eddie walked over to Tyrone and paused next to him. “I realize I might be overstepping, but I’ve
got to ask. What’s your plan, Tyrone?”
Eddie probed further when met with silence. “Are you planning to keep Galilea as your mistress indefinitely?”
“No.”
“And when will you end things with Sabrina? Your grandfather...”
Tyrone cut him off. “Galilea is in my past. There’s no future for us.”
Eddie was taken aback.
“But... you introduced her to us and you’ve been caught with her so many times by the media.”
It all hinted that he wished to reconcile with her, didn’t it?
Eddie felt confused.
That was exactly what Tyrone had insinuated previously.
There was a time when he thought he was still smitten with Galilea.
Relationships were tricky things. All he was certain of was his unwillingness to divorce Sabrina.
Seeing Eddie’s bewildered expression, Tyrone stated, “It’s done. I’ve made my intentions clear to her. She can stay here or
relocate. It’s her choice.”
Looking at Tyrone, Eddie was at a loss for words.
This was an unexpected turn of events.
He’d never imagined Tyrone would sever ties with Galilea.
He could still recall their third year at the university when Tyrone was doubled over in pain from a sudden stomachache. Galilea
had dashed out in the middle of the night to fetch medicine.
Eddie also remembered the pair of crystal shoes Tyrone gifted Galilea during their graduation ceremony. Those shoes had been
the envy of the entire campus.
Their relationship was subject to skepticism at the time, but they remained inseparable throughout their university years.
