Chapter 198

In the bedroom, Alicia stood in front of her open wardrobe, feeling a bit overwhelmed. “What should I wear today?”

Tyrone had told her he was taking her out on a date.

A date... The thought made her blush a little.

“How about the pink one?” Without her noticing, Tyrone had appeared just behind her, reaching over to help her pick out an outfit. “We’re heading to the beach, and this dress will look gorgeous in photos. I’ll take some pictures for you.”

Alicia turned to him, surprised. “You know how to take pictures?”

Tyrone raised an eyebrow. “You underestimate me?”

Her heart skipped again. Wow, another point for Tyrone and his secret talents...

A man like this—how could anyone not fall for him?

He helped her put together the perfect beach ensemble: a white-and-pink sundress, a pair of woven sandals that could handle the sand and sea, and a wide-brimmed straw hat that was both stylish and practical for sun protection.

He even handed her a dainty little purse with a gold chain—just big enough for her makeup essentials.

She had to admit, this outfit really was perfect for a day at the beach.

Feeling delighted, Alicia slipped into the dress and spun in front of the mirror. The hem fluttered, light and airy, making her feel floaty—almost magical.

She paused for a moment, catching sight of her own smile in the mirror.

She’d always been a cheerful person, but in her twenty-something years, moments of this kind of pure, unrestrained happiness were rare.

But with Tyrone, it felt like she could finally let go, laugh out loud, and not worry about a thing.

“Do you like it?” Tyrone stepped closer, fastening a delicate necklace around her neck—a fine silver chain with a single, luminous white pearl.

So simple, but it made her features look even more refined.

Tyrone stood behind her, wrapping his arms gently around her waist as they both looked into the mirror at her reflection.

His wife was really something else...

So this is what it felt like to be physically drawn to someone: wanting to hold her all the time, to tease her, to spoil her, to breathe in her sweet scent, to see her smile, to have fun with her, and yes, even to playfully annoy her...

And to dislike, equally, any man who tried to get close to his wife.

“You look amazing...” Alicia nodded, her heart pounding. In that instant, she almost believed she really was someone to be cherished and protected.

Even if it was just an illusion, Alicia was happy to lose herself in it.

Tyrone took her hand and they headed downstairs. She’d assumed, after all this time getting ready, that her uncle and Serena would have already left. But to her surprise, Serena and Melanie were still there—only her uncle had gone.

“Tyrone... do you have time today? Maybe we could go out for a walk? I’ve been stuck in that rehab facility for so long, it’s nice to be out. You promised you’d spend some time with me, remember?” Serena flashed Tyrone a sweet smile, clearly hoping to pull him away from Alicia.

Alicia instinctively held Tyrone’s arm a little tighter.

She was really looking forward to the beach, to having Tyrone take her pictures...

If he ditched her now to go with Serena, she’d be crushed.

Maybe it was all those times Vincent had left her behind, but Alicia couldn’t help glancing anxiously at Tyrone.

“Sorry, I already promised Alicia I’d take her to the beach today.” Tyrone didn’t hesitate to turn Serena down.

Alicia felt a little thrill of happiness. Tyrone always knew how to set boundaries.

Serena blinked, caught off guard. But she quickly recovered. “That’s okay... We could all go together. I’d love to walk along the beach too.”

Melanie shot Serena a look, wanting to object, but the words stuck in her throat.

It was obvious her uncle just wanted some time alone with Alicia.

“Sorry...”

“Nope, it’s just the two of us today.”

She was nervous, and her heart was racing even faster now.

She looked at Serena—not with hostility, but with quiet resolve.
