Tyrone proceeded, "I extend my gratitude for your steadfast care of Sabrina, Miss Ramirez. Were it not for you, I fear that Sabrina would not have been able to move forward so swiftly. I hold a deep sense of appreciation. If you ever find yourself in need, please do not hesitate to confide in me.

I understand that for various reasons, you may have had reservations about me in the past and it is not an easy feat to alter one's opinion hastily. Nevertheless, I beseech you to momentarily set aside any animosity. After all, you are a close friend of Sabrina's, and I, her ex-husband. Our shared desire is for her happiness, to spare her from embarrassment."

Much like the present situation, Sabrina was acutely aware of Bettie's disapproval of Tyrone for her sake. Sabrina had no intention of causing Bettie any distress but circumstances had compelled her to offer Tyrone forgiveness. In this perplexing dilemma, Sabrina and Tyrone acted as if they had engaged in an illicit affair the previous day.

Gazing at Tyrone, Bettie graced him with a smile and commented, "This is the first time I've witnessed your eloquence."

She had no rebuttal.

She comprehended that Tyrone was not at fault but rather Sabrina.

Sabrina had changed!

Despite declaring her reluctance to remarry Tyrone, Sabrina's actions contradicted her words.

Bettie felt a profound sense of disappointment, yet she also acknowledged the disparities between herself and Sabrina.

When it came to matters of the heart, emotions varied greatly from one individual to another. If she could not change Sabrina's sentiments, her only recourse was to offer support and solace.

"Thank you for your kind words."

"I understand. My personal sentiments toward you may not be favorable but I shall honor Sabrina's choice. If your love for her is sincere, then I implore you to treat her with care and, in time, perhaps alter my opinion of you."

“Fair enough." Tyrone rose from his seat and advised, “I shall take my leave now, Miss Ramirez. It would be wise for you to consider some rest."

An odd, puzzled utterance escaped from Bettie.

She felt no inkling of sleepiness whatsoever.

"Oh, and do endeavor to keep today's events concealed from her,"

Tyrone added. He came to a halt before he resumed, "Sabrina would be greatly embarrassed otherwise."

Meanwhile, Sabrina arrived at the film set early, shadowing the director as he provided guidance to fellow actors, keenly absorbing their techniques and insights.

As the scene neared its conclusion, Sabrina's turn approached. She retreated to the dressing room to have her hair styled.

With idle time on her hands during her makeup session, she sent a message to Tyrone.
