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.
