Chapter: 1571
They hadn't seen each other since their last meeting at a restaurant months ago.
At the dinner in a chamber, Bradley was his usual spirited self, seemingly unaffected by past events.
He was keen on keeping the mood light.
However, after the meal, as they waited for their car, Bradley shared a heartfelt thought with Sabrina. “If you ever decide to return, know that my arms are always open to welcome you."
"Thank you," Sabrina murmured, her gaze lowered, feeling a swell of emotion.
Had she not fallen for Tyrone, and had she developed feelings for Bradley instead, would her life be different now?
But she quickly dismissed this. It was impossible. Sabrina didn't harbor romantic feelings for Bradley, and she shouldn't let him get the wrong idea.
Jennie, however, was Sabrina's biggest concern.
When Jennie learned Sabrina planned to settle abroad, her reaction was heart-wrenching. Tears streamed down her face as she clung to Sabrina, pleading for Sabrina not to go.
Embracing Jennie, Sabrina gently patted her back, trying to soothe her. "Don't cry. I promise I'll come back to visit you often."
"No, I don't want you to leave," Jennie pleaded, her eyes red and swollen. "Why do you suddenly want to go abroad? Does Tyrone make you unhappy? I'll go talk to him!"
Jennie tried to jump off the sofa, but Sabrina gently stopped her.
“Jennie, Tyrone and I can't be together."
“But why?" Jennie asked, looking at Sabrina with big, teary eyes. She thought Tyrone and Sabrina's relationship had bettered, and they could make up with each other soon.
Lowering her head, Sabrina sighed and said, “It's a long story.
You'll understand when you grow up."
Tyrone would be Jennie's primary source of support for the following years. Not wanting to cause trouble or make Jennie hate Tyrone, Sabrina didn't say anything negative about Tyrone in front of Jennie.
From Tyrone's narratives, Sabrina knew part of the reason Tyrone wanted to keep Jennie with him was because he saw Jennie as a means to win her back, thus winning the bet.
Now that Tyrone had won the bet and she intended to leave, she had no idea how Tyrone would do with Jennie in the days to come.
Sabrina was worried that he would neglect or abandon Jennie.
