Tyrone took a moment before adding, “Royce... You're aware of Keilani's character. She's immature. How could she possibly care for Jennie? I had taken Jennie in when I was still oblivious to me being her biological father. Now that I'm aware she's my own, my affection for her will only deepen. Plus, Jennie leans on me and prefers not to be with Keilani."

Royce knew Keilani's nature and admitted Tyrone had a point.

One could easily draw a conclusion from the very few interactions between Jennie and Keilani.

Royce pointed out, “Yet, Keilani's presence in Mathias hinges on Jennie. Granting her custody would leave her no reason to linger here."

The previous day, Keilani had suggested it was best for Tyrone to raise Jennie. After all, she had no desire for custody and simply wanted to draw nearer to Tyrone. Why raise a child before being Tyrone's partner? The child would only serve as a burden.

"Her desire to be near Jennie stems from her wish to get close to me, not out of love for Jennie. Jennie gains nothing from staying with Keilani," Tyrone expressed. He had considered Royce's words deeply.

Yet, with Jennie being his daughter, he couldn't just give up on her custody because of Keilani.

Royce let out a sigh. “Is Sabrina kind to Jennie? Does Jennie enjoy her company?"

"Don't fret. Jennie is very fond of Sabrina. A few days back, Jennie dashed out of school searching for Sabrina, which alarmed us."

"Oh? What unfolded?" Royce inquired.

Tyrone provided a concise explanation.

Royce sighed again. Keilani acted on impulse, doing things her way.

She showed up at the kindergarten to see Jennie, sparking rumors. How could Jennie possibly accept Keilani?

“You and Sabrina are still young. Eventually, you might have another child. What's your plan then?" Royce wasn't aware of Sabrina's pregnancy and was merely speculating.

“Rest assured. All my children are dear to me. I'll ensure Jennie is treated fairly, especially with your oversight."

"In that case, Jennie should stay with you. We'll revisit this discussion as she grows older." Royce gestured toward the table, querying, “Have you remarried Sabrina?"

"Not yet."

"If there's no obstacle, consider remarrying her promptly." Royce hoped to prevent Keilani from entertaining illusions.

Tyrone looked down, sighing. "It's complicated. Sabrina had agreed to remarry but was mad at me over Keilani's being Jennie's biological mother. I'm worried remarrying might not be feasible..."

Tyrone knew Royce wanted to use their remarriage to dissuade Keilani.
