With a soft click, he unlocked the vehicle and gently settled Sheldon into the back seat.


    Noticing Lyndon’s silent demeanor, Tilda hesitated, feeling a sudden urge to reveal Sheldon’s true identity.

    But before she could continue, Lyndon cut her off, “You don’t need to exin.


    We agreed to respect each other’s privacy after we got married.


    And if you ever find someone else you want to be with, I’ll support you in getting a divorce.

    Lyndon cut off Tilda before she could finish and spoke his mind.


    Tilda’s words caught in her throat.

    “Right, Dad? You wouldn’t fall for something like that, would you?”


    “Of course not,” Lyndon replied with a smile.

    ”


    Lyndon raised an eyebrow, stealing a nce at Tilda in the rearview mirror.


    He remained silent.


    Sheldon grew anxious.


    “Dad, say something!”
