Tyrone was Left speechless, feeling awkward.

Clearing his throat, he mumbled, “You don't have to say the last sentence."

As Sabrina had said, Bettie did think so.

As Lance extended the phone toward her, Bettie felt an inner reluctance to accept it, a sentiment she concealed behind her obliging demeanor With a multitude of curious onlookers surrounding her, she reluctantly acquiesced, delicately wiping the phone's screen before uttering her gratitude, "Thank you."

Lance responded with nonchalance, “It's no trouble at all." A subtle, enigmatic smile danced upon his lips. His golden-framed glasses exuded a mesmerizing, almost ethereal, metallic gleam.

In a frosty tone, Bettie inquired, "What brings you here?"

Lance replied candidly, "I'd heard whispers of the captivating scenery in this Locale, so I embarked on a journey here, never anticipating our serendipitous encounter."

Bettie regarded him with a trace of suspicion in her eyes

Shifting his gaze toward the thief being pressed on the ground by a passerby, Lance retrieved his mobile phone and promptly dialed the police.

Upon concluding the call, he reassured, "The Law enforcement officers shall arrive shortly. Please remain here.“

Sabrina rushed to Bettie's side, expressing her concern, "Bettie, are you okay?"

Bettie responded, "I'm perfectly fine. You can proceed without me. I will join you after cooperating with the officers’ inquiries."

Sabrina shot a frigid glare in Lance's direction, inquiring, “What is he doing here?"

Tyrone, perceiving the hidden meaning in her words, maintained an air of composure as he regarded Lance.

Their gazes Locked for a fleeting moment before Lance averted his eyes, fixating them upon Bettie once more.

Tyrone averted his gaze, extending a delectable cupcake to Jennie nestled in his embrace.

"No need, Sabrina. Time is of the essence. You should seize the opportunity to capture more photographs.”

“Then, give me a call once you're through.”
