Bella's gaze lingered on Tyrone, curiosity evident in her eyes.

Finally getting to meet Tyrone, Sabrina's former spouse, she found him bore a slight resemblance to Blayze.

Collen also picked up on the similarity, casting a speculative glance at Sabrina. Was Sabrina seeing Tyrone as a stand-in for Blayze? With Sabrina and Tyrone's reunion, had she grown distant from Blayze?

Unaware of Collen's thoughts, Sabrina engaged in lively conversation with Bella.

Bella, learning of Sabrina's pregnancy, was a mix of astonishment and delight, eager to meet the new arrival.

Suddenly, a familiar voice in their native tongue cut through the buzz of the restaurant. "Collen?"

Sabrina looked up to see a middle-aged man. Although she hadn't met him before, his address and slight accent led her to surmise his identity. He had to be Horace.

Instinctively, Sabrina's gaze shifted to Tyrone.

"Horace, Rita," Collen, surprised, stood up and greeted them with a smile. "What a coincidence! When did you get here? Why didn't you let me know?"

It wasn't until then that Sabrina noticed Rita, who was dressed elegantly and following Horace.

As Collen spoke, Sabrina secretly sized Horace up.

Though Horace was over fifty, he maintained a youthful appearance, fit and healthy, resembling a man in his forties. Sabrina thought he must have been quite the looker in his youth, which explained why Kira was still hung up on him. Tyrone and Blayze had Horace's eyes.

Sabrina noticed Horace steal a glance at Tyrone as he spoke with Collen.

Tyrone leaned back in his chair, his face expressionless, though a hint of impatience flickered in his eyes.

Horace responded with a warm smile, “I came here on business but decided to stay a few days for pleasure. I didn't inform you because I knew you were busy at work, and I didn't want to intrude."

Collen simply smiled and said to Rita, "Rita, you look prettier every time I see you. I hardly recognized you."

"Oh, don't tease me," Rita replied with a Laugh.

After a few moments of conversation, Collen made the introduction.

“Bella, Sabrina, this is Horace, Blayze's father, and this is his wife, Rita. Horace, this is Bella, my girlfriend. This is Sabrina, our friend. And this is Sabrina's husband."

Sabrina greeted Horace and Rita as if she knew nothing. Once Rita's relationship with her became known, it would be hard to keep things calm, which would put Collen in a tough spot. Sabrina chose to act as though she didn't know Rita.
