"Yes, I did. What's wrong with that?"

Observing her unashamed expression, Tyrone let out a dry laugh, a mix of anger and amusement. “What's wrong? You hired a fake boyfriend to fool me. And you're asking me what's wrong?"

“I just gave you a dose of your own medicine. That's all."

“What I did was for the sake of your own safety..."

"So, you can hurt me by being with another woman whenever you want.

Is that right?" Gazing straight into Tyrone's eyes, Sabrina's expression was grim, her words deliberate and measured. "Tyrone, you've used those words to hurt my feelings because you want to protect me, but do you even care about what I want? Have you ever respected my choices?"

Resolved in his choice, Tyrone responded, “Sabrina, you can blame me all you want. I had no choice at that time. But if I ever had to make the same decision again, I wouldn't change a thing."

His words only intensified Sabrina's anger. He still refused to admit his mistake.

"In that case, you can leave now. You lied to me, and I lied back, so let's call it even. Don't bother me again!" Sabrina declared coldly, turning away from him with her arms folded.

“Sabrina! Are you sure?"

"Yes, I am," Sabrina said firmly.

Confronted with her resolve, Tyrone looked at her back, which was stubbornly turned away from him. He had no choice but to compromise.

He reached out, tenderly touching her shoulder, and turned her back to face him. "Alright, it's my fault. I shouldn't have done that.

Sabrina, please forgive me, okay?"

He had initially planned to blame her when he confronted her. However, in truth, he was the one to blame.

Sabrina, her anger evident, responded with a sardonic smile. He was only forced to admit his mistake and apologize this time, but he would likely do it again in the future.

"You just said you'd do the same thing if you were presented with the same choice again. How are you in the wrong, then? What you did was right. I have no right to forgive you," Sabrina retorted with a touch of sarcasm.

“Sabrina, I really messed up," Tyrone remarked, his voice tinged with helplessness.

"What did you mess up?" Sabrina questioned.

“I shouldn't have acted with Galilea to lie to you. I should've respected you and talked to you about it," Tyrone replied.
