If only Kelsey knew how ecstatic Tyler was to hear that she wanted to marry him.However, he suddenly joined the dots after allowing himself a moment to think things through.How could she want to marry him?The only explanation was that she was doing it for someone else’s sake!“It has nothing to do with them!” Kelsey shook her head adamantly and reached forward to press her hand against his chest.“I am the one who wants it! I want to marry you!”She fixed a stout look on him and declared resolutely.Tyler was astounded.Kelsey's tender and fair hands placed against his chest only made him more excited.His breathing turned rapid.“You better not regret it!”A strange look surfaced in his eyes as he cried out.Kelsey responded more determined than ever, “I won’t!”She could live without any more regret if she got to marry a man who was truly devoted to her.Tyler stared at her intently for a few more seconds, then suddenly…Rip!The sound of fabric tearing apart at th
Tyler's expression darkened in an instant upon hearing this.A dark, hazy look coiled into his pupils.Just as he expected, she was beginning to regret her proposal.Judging by his expression, Kelsey wagered that she must have upset him again.She tried to remedy the situation. “I just didn’t want to burden you!” Tyler’s frown deepened upon hearing this.“Kelsey, do you even have a heart at all?”Something gleamed in his eyes as he jabbed a finger at her heart and cried out with a mocking expression.After that, he stomped angrily toward the bathroom.Kelsey stared at his departing figure and felt at a loss.She had already taken back what she said to avoid forcing him into marrying her.Why did it seem like it had only made him more upset?Perhaps the very thing he wanted was for her to pressure him into having to take responsibility for her.Meanwhile, in the bathroom.Tyler turned on the shower head and made a point to turn it to the coldest setting.A burst of cold
After the fabric was drenched in water, it had become nearly transparent.It clung tightly to the curves of her body and outlined her voluptuous figure. Everything that there was to be seen was fully exposed.The shirt barely covered her thighs. Furthermore, she was not wearing anything underneath.Tyler gulped the moment he beheld the sight.It was as if someone had set a fire in him.He was burning.So much for the cold shower he took just now.He wanted nothing more than to devour her right here and now.“You said you were trying to comfort me? How are you going to do that?”He leaned over and pressed his forehead against hers. His voice had dropped to a raspy drawl.Kelsey blinked blankly and sounded rather confused. “How?”Tyler suddenly pinned her against the wall with his hands braced against the sides of her waist. He locked a fervent look into her eyes and growled in the form of an order, “Kiss me!”Kelsey did a double take, then she wrapped her arms around his nec
The next day.Kelsey woke up feeling sore all over.She felt as if all the bones in her body had been taken apart and scrapped back together.Then, she stared blankly at the exquisite chandelier hung on the ceiling. She turned to the side and observed the large French windows that curved at an angle around the room.After a moment, she finally realized she was in Tyler's bedroom.She ruffled her messy hair.She was very confused.The last thing she remembered was making love with Tyler in the lounge in his office last night...How did she find herself back in the bedroom of his place upon waking up?Did he bring her back here after she fell asleep at some point?She tried to jog her memory and this was the only explanation that made sense.Meanwhile, Tyler was nowhere to be seen.However, she heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom.Tyler must be taking a shower.This time, she no longer had the courage to intrude on him in the shower like she did last n
Kelsey grimaced. “A few days?”Was he implying that he was going to continue having his way with her after a few days?Tyler made a look at her and suddenly proposed dotingly, “You can rest as many days as you want.”Kelsey was relieved by that.Then, Tyler’s phone rang again.Kelsey glanced at the phone and stated grumpily, “Your phone is ringing again.”When was Zara going to stop calling?However, Tyler barely paid attention to the phone. He continued to stare intently at Kelsey.Kelsey felt her hair standing on end when she felt his gaze on her.“Why aren’t you picking up?”Tyler could care less about who was calling.The only thing on his mind now was Kelsey.“I will take responsibility for you.”He declared solemnly while reaching forward to gently cup her cheeks in his palms.Kelsey grew wide-eyed upon hearing this.For a moment, she suspected that she was dreaming.Did Tyler just vow to her that he would take responsibility for her?Was it because they had slep
Kelsey turned beet red.She shook her head hurriedly. “No, it’s nothing.”Tyler cast a meaningful look at her and did not bother to put the bathrobe back on.Instead, he went to the dresser and picked out a black tailored shirt.He took his time buttoning up the shirt, his delicate fingers smoothing down the fabric as he went.“Go and wash up. Meet me downstairs for breakfast when you’re done,” he beckoned softly.Kelsey blurted out, “I don't want to eat.”She was too drained to eat at all, the only thing she wanted to do was to sleep.Upon hearing this, Tyler drew toward her and towered over her again."Don't you want to get breakfast and then go to the church to finalize our engagement together?”He spoke with a sharp look gleaming in his eyes. There was a mark of dejection in his expression as he said that.He must have misunderstood Kelsey and assumed she was using her lack of appetite as an excuse.She was simply making up something on the spot to avoid having to get e
That was when Tyler's phone rang unexpectedly.It was Zara calling again.Tyler picked up the phone and stole a glance at the phone before he hung up on her without hesitation.“Why won’t you answer the call?” Kelsey could not stop herself from asking.Was it because it was inconvenient for him to talk to Zara in front of her?“Don’t worry about it.”Tyler leaned over and planted a kiss on her forehead to soothe her concerns.After that, he carried her downstairs.After he settled her on the dining chair, the doorbell rang.It was his subordinates delivering food for him.He proceeded to go to the front door to collect the food from them.Then, he opened each of the containers and set them in an arranged pattern on the dining table for Kelsey.It was a breakfast fit for a king, featuring cuisine from various parts of the world.There was Mexican breakfast, Italian breakfast, pastry, fruit juice and many more.However, Kelsey had very little appetite.She could not take h
Tyler gently patted her back.The look in his eyes darkened slightly. “Don't want to go with me?”Kelsey’s reaction was a little too dramatic for his taste.He could not help but doubt whether she was serious about wanting to marry him.“No, that’s not it!”She took a breath to compose herself and hurriedly explained.She was more than willing to get officially engaged with him, it was all she wanted!How could she possibly say no?“It’s just that… My official documents are still with my family,” she lowered her eyes and said worriedly.Previously, her father and his mistress tried to set her up and force her to marry the perverted old Mr. Vernon who was known to have killed all his previous wives.Kelsey was understandably against it, which led to a giant fight that ended in her running away from home.It had been some time since she last went back home.All her important documents were still in her father’s study.If she wanted to get officially engaged with Tyler, she w
