Scars Of A Broken Bond

“Keilani, thanks for being so nice. That’s won’t be necessary.”

Tyrone gazed at Keilani, his eyes carrying a subtle warning. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Maybe it was Tyrone’s stern look that made Keilani start to speak, then stop short.

Tyrone took Jennie to a big mall downtown. There was this massive children’s park in the basement.

Jennie, still a kid, loved the amusement park. She played there for almost an hour.

When Jennie was exhausted from playing, Tyrone led her to a stall and got her some drink.

The stall was packed, mostly with young girls. People kept sneaking peeks at Tyrone.

A girl nudged her friend, whispering, “See that guy over there? He’s really good-looking.”

Her friend stole a glance at Tyrone, spotting Jennie with him. She murmured, “Too bad he’s got a kid. Otherwise, I would’ve hit him up on Facebook!”

“He’s dashing and excellent with kids. That’s wonderful. Unlike my boyfriend, who’s constantly gaming.”

Soon, it was Tyrone’s turn to fetch the drink. Tyrone strolled over, picked up the drink, slipped a straw into it, and handed it to Jennie.

Jennie grabbed the drink, sipping it cautiously. After she had consumed about half, she started to blow bubbles into the drink.

Tyrone caught a glimpse of her doing this and she flashed him a smile.

Strolling past a boutique, Tyrone picked out a couple of toys for Jennie. They were intricate wooden models that formed a detailed ship and an ancient building when assembled.

After paying for the toys, Tyrone suggested, “Let’s check that place out.”

“Tyrone, I need to use the restroom, Jennie said, looking up at Tyrone.

“I’ll walk you to the restroom. Can you manage on your own inside?”

“Yes, I can,” Jennie replied, nodding earnestly. She was confident about going to the restroom alone, not needing anyone to accompany her.

At the ladies’ room entrance, Tyrone said, “Go ahead. If you need me, just shout.”

Suddenly, a woman’s voice interrupted, “Let me take Jennie in.”

Tyrone looked up to see Keilani standing beside him.

“No need. I’ve got it,” Jennie replied and headed into the bathroom.

“Be careful,” Tyrone called after her. He then faced Keilani, his expression a mix of confusion and irritation. “Have you been following us?”

Keilani was stunned and felt her heart skip a beat. Seeing Tyrone’s stern look, she nervously clasped her hands. “Yes, I was following.
