Enchanted Nightfall: Falling for Destiny ( Quintessa and Tyrone ) novel Chapter 166

Upon hearing Rachel's name, Tyrone sharply turned to Cecilia, his dark eyes seeming to bore into her very soul, sending shivers down her spine.

With a sheepish look on her face, Cecilia shot a glare at Quintessa and hurriedly explained to Tyrone, “Well, I don't know either. I didn't answer it. Who knows why she called me – I’ve blocked her number.”

Just a moment ago, Cecilia was scolding her son, but now she was cowed under the pressure of a mere phone call.

The phone was still buzzing insistently when Quintessa stopped Cecilia in her tracks, “Hey, hold up, don’t block her just yet. If she’s calling back-to-back like this, it must be something urgent. Let’s hear her out first.”

Then, turning to Tyrone with a smirk, Quintessa cooed, “Don’t you agree, darling?”

Her “darling” was so syrupy sweet it sent shivers down Cecilia’s spine, and she shot Quintessa a venomous look that screamed “Vixen.”

Despite knowing Quintessa was up to no good, Tyrone felt a sudden urge to indulge her. “Mom, just take the call, see what she wants, okay? And I better not find out that you’ve been in touch with her behind my back again.”

Feeling cornered by her son’s stern words, Cecilia begrudgingly held the phone to her ear. “Hello, Rachel, what is it?”

Rachel’s voice was filled with a desperate edge, “Auntie, I’m so sorry to bother you, but there’s something urgent I need to ask you about, it’s about Tyrone.”

Before Rachel could continue, Cecilia cut her off, “Enough, don’t call me again. I’m with Tyrone right now, and he won’t be pleased. I’m hanging up.”

Just as Cecilia was about to end the call, Quintessa, who had been eyeing the phone like a hawk, suddenly snatched it away.
