Chapter: 1009
Following their meal, the Blakely family convened in the Living room, where they played a game of cards.
Sabrina chose not to join them, opting to play airplane chess with Jennie at a separate table.
Soon, Frankie came over to play with Jennie. The two then dashed off to the yard, engrossed in their playful activities.
Sabrina and Lena sat alone at the table, the silence between them palpable.
Glancing over at the card table, Sabrina asked in a casual tone, "Lena, did you and Larry fight?"
Lena looked surprised, as if she hadn't expected Sabrina to notice.
Sabrina's lips curled into a knowing smile. “It's written all over your face. You two have barely spoken a word all afternoon."
Lena pursed her lips and shook her head in silence.
Lena was unwilling to divulge details, so Sabrina didn't push the issue, sensing she wasn't ready to talk.
But after a short time, Lena's face scrunched up in concern as she turned to Sabrina and asked, “How did you feel when you found out about Tyrone's affair?"
Sabrina was surprised, wondering if Larry had an affair.
She thought back to the day she discovered Tyrone's infidelity and felt a wave of emotions wash over her. Though it had happened half a year ago, it seemed like a lifetime had passed.
“I felt... desperate, I guess. I found out that I was pregnant the day before Tyrone was to come back from his business trip. I was so excited to share the news with him. But then I found out about the affair."
Sabrina trailed off, lost in thought, as she relived the pain and heartbreak of that moment.
But then she shook her head and forced a smile. "But that's all in the past now. Lena, what's important is that you figure out what you want. Do you think Larry wants to work things out?"
At that time, Sabrina was still holding on to the hope that Tyrone would have a change of heart. Unfortunately, this led her to waste time waiting for him, which only caused her more pain and heartache.
It would have been better if she had given up on time.
Sabrina wondered what might have been if she had divorced Tyrone earlier. Perhaps she wouldn't have lost her precious baby, or Cesar wouldn't have passed away so suddenly. The weight of regret hung heavy on her shoulders.
Lena managed a bitter smile, her eyes reflecting her confusion. “I don't know..."
She had already had a thorn in her heart. She couldn't continue to live with Larry as if nothing had happened.
