Chapter: 1993
Grinning at that, Zandra remarked, "I'm not expecting for a genius. I just hope she's not as much of a handful as Keilani was as a kid."
Zandra still vividly recalled the struggles of helping Keilani with homework, wondering how two smart parents ended up with such a challenging daughter. They had never asked for much from Keilani, just her happiness. Who would've guessed Keilani would turn out Like this?
Zandra was beside herself when she found out Keilani had a little one.
"Just you wait and see."
When the servant buzzed in over the intercom, Kaleb knew Tyrone and Jennie had made it and dashed downstairs to say hello. He practically beamed when he spotted Jennie in the distance. “Hey, Jennie! Finally here! Come on in and meet your grandma."
Kaleb ushered Jennie inside.
Tyrone strolled in at a relaxed pace.
As Jennie stepped into the living room, she caught sight of a classy lady gliding down the stairs with all the grace in the world, eyeing her up just as curiously.
Their eyes met, each sizing the other up.
With her round face, big peepers, delicate complexion, and pink lips, Jennie looked like a doll plucked straight from a shop window.
Cocking her head and fluttering her dark, doe-like eyes, Jennie chirped in her youthful tone, "Are you Miss Fancy or my grandma?"
Gazing at Jennie's innocent face, seemingly unfazed by the unfamiliar surroundings, Zandra offered a gentle smile. "I'm your grandma."
"Hi, grandma. I'm Jennie." Jennie turned around and took Tyrone's hand. "This is my dad."
Zandra glanced up at Tyrone standing behind Jennie and gave a slight nod.
Zandra and Tyrone hadn't talked to each other before. Perhaps they'd crossed paths at a Mathias banquet, or maybe Royce had mentioned Tyrone to Zandra.
Zandra knew Tyrone had assumed the presidency of the Blakely Group at a young age, and now he appeared to be the chairman of the board. In her mind, Tyrone was youthful and skilled. At present, he was the father of Jennie, her granddaughter, yet he wasn't her son-in-law.
Zandra had heard about what had happened before. Keilani accidentally entered the wrong room, where she was assaulted by Tyrone, who was under the effect of the drug. Later, influenced by Kira's manipulation, Keilani refrained from involving the authorities and eventually gave birth to a child.
Despite Tyrone's state of being drugged then and his actions to take responsibility in Royce's presence, as Keilani's mother, Zandra naturally leaned toward Keilani's side. Therefore, Zandra found it challenging to form a favorable opinion of Tyrone.
Tyrone nodded at Zandra. Aware of Kaleb's and Zandra's disapproval, he didn't intend to get them like him. "Well, Jennie is here. I have matters to attend to at home, so I'll head back now. In the box, you'll find Jennie's clothes and toys. I've noted her preferences and routines. Please take good care of her, and I'll come for her in two weeks."
Tyrone was wise enough not to Linger.
