Jennie’s face lost its color as she gently set the tigers down without a word.
Indeed, Tyrone was right beside her. He said, “Aunt Kira, your fears are misplaced. Sabrina, despiteour divorce, remains a member of our family. How could you deem her a stranger?”
“Is her last name Blakely or Chavez? Have you forgotten the current head of the group? Are youcertain Sabrina harbors no ulterior motives?”
Kira’s temper flared, her voice cold and biting. “Why maintain contact with Sabrina after the split?You’re not planning to remarry, are you? What’s gotten with all of you? Why were you all enchanted bySabrina? Your grandfather is like this, and so are you and Jennie! Jennie, avoid going out with her! Ifyou don’t want to, you can forget about calling me Grandma!”
“Waah!”
The phone clattered onto the couch. Jennie, her face washed pale with fear, clutched her dolls, tearsstreaming down.
She had always been a clever and sensible girl. Tyrone had never seen her cry before, but now shehad tears in her eyes, her lips trembling, caught between holding back and letting go. It pained him tosee her in such a state.
He quickly drew her onto his lap, gently murmuring, “Don’t cry, Jennie.”
Scooping up the phone, his face clouded with displeasure, he addressed Kira, “Aunt Kira, let’s set therecord straight-remarrying isn’t what I want. I appreciate all you did for me, but I’m an adult now, and I’dappreciate it if you’d respect my boundaries. As for Jennie, if she’s fond of Sabrina, let it be. Whydictate a child’s affections?”
Unyielding, Kira shot back, “I might have little say in your life, but surely I’ve got a say in Jennie’s. Ididn’t raise her to go against me.
Jennie, enough of the tears! If you won’t listen, perhaps you’re better off with Sabrina!”
“Waah…” Jennie’s sobbing grew louder, echoing in Tyrone’s embrace.
Tyrone declared, “If that’s how you feel, Jennie won’t ever return.
I’LL sort out her residency and schooling right here.”
He then ended the video call.
Given his status and connection, raising Jennie and enrolling her in kindergarten were tasks well withinhis capabilities.
Tyrone set his phone down with a sigh, gently rubbing Jennie’s shoulder. “Hey, Jennie, it’s alright. Nomore tears.”
Jennie’s tears continued as she nestled into him.
Seeing her distressed, Tyrone tenderly stroked her back, fetched a tissue for her from the table, andhanded it over, patiently waiting for her emotions to settle.
Even as she dabbed at her eyes, Jennie’s tears flowed.
“Listen, Jennie, you’re free to be friends with anyone, alright? You shouldn’t feel bound by yourgrandma’s words.”
Drawing close, tears sparkling in her eyes and wetting her lashes, she mustered, “Uncle Tyrone, whydoes Grandma seem to dislike Aunt Sabrina?”
