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

    She made up something about how taking the pills would help with getting pregnant.All it did was make her infertile, which further upset Cooper.She would much rather not ever have to deal with Maya again in this lifetime. This was the last person she wanted to meet.Unexpectedly, it was Maya herself who came to her.Along with Cooper’s father.What was going on?She barely acknowledged Maya’s enthusiastic welcome and proceeded to walk to another part of the house.Cooper frowned faintly upon noting the way she ignored his mother but made no further comment.It was Megan who lectured her instead, “Kelsey where are your manners? Maya was trying to greet you, don’t just ignore her!”Charlie was in the middle of chatting with Braun and did not notice the interaction that went down between Maya and Kelsey.Now that Megan had blatantly pointed it out, he decided he had to impose his authority as the man of the household.He frowned and ordered, “Kelsey, say hello to Maya!”Kels

    Kelsey could not believe that after her father failed to wed her to Mr. Vernon, he had moved on to trying with Cooper instead.He must detest her a lot to put in so much effort in trying to get rid of her.“Dad, you were the one who told me to stay away from Cooper because you do not respect their family’s credentials. You said you would disown me if I ever had anything to do with them.”Kelsey bluntly exposed her father's hypocrisy right in front of the members of the Lyon family.Charlie’s face twisted into a scowl for a brief moment while he fixed a furious glare on Kelsey.He did say that in the past.Even now, he had a very poor impression of Cooper and his upbringing.Furthermore, he was born a bastard.The Lyons were not powerful either, there was a large gap separating them from the Langs.Cooper could barely compare himself to Tyler who was born the chosen child.However...The Langs had now broken off the engagement with the Youngs.There was virtually no more cha

    What she had omitted was that she would not allow her precious daughter to marry someone like Cooper who was a bastard son without prestige.Her daughter must be wed to a proper, wealthy family!The only one who should marry Cooper was Kelsey.There was no way Josephine would marry him!“Is she now? That’s strange, I remember seeing her going on a date with Cooper the other time.” Kelsey stated candidly.Everyone in the living room was stunned with silence upon hearing this.The elders of the Lyons immediately cast a suspicious look at Cooper.Megan frowned with disgust and started telling off Kelsey, “What kind of nonsense are you going about? You must have got the wrong person!”Why would her darling daughter go out with someone like Cooper of all people?Kelsey took her time recalling the tale. “I remember they were at the seaside manor together. It wasn’t just me, there were many other people present who saw them too. Or are you suggesting that everyone was mistaken as wel

    Seeing how much thought Tyler put into her birthday, Susan felt confident that Kelsey was in good hands. Kelsey was lucky to marry a man like Tyler. The family was blessed to have Tyler. “All that matters is that you’re happy.” Tyler tended to Susan’s needs with respect. “I haven’t been this happy in a long time.” Susan nodded with a delightful smile. Kelsey could tell that Susan was a lot happier today. Susan had been feeling hurt since Charlie sent her to live in a nursing home. She felt like Charlie prioritized his side piece over his mother. It had been a while since Susan smiled again.The smile on Susan’s face was infectious. Kelsey’s face beamed. Tyler smiled along too. The lounge was filled with laughter and joy. After lunch, Tyler drove Kelsey and Susan to the nursing home. Susan, being elderly, fell asleep in the car. Tyler carried Susan back to her room in the nursing home. Kelsey could see how much Tyler cared about Susan. Tyler had to leave d

    “Please… Save my baby…” With Steve walking away, Megan pinned her hope on the restaurant staff. The restaurant manager and staff had witnessed Megan insulting Tyler and Kelsey. They would not risk upsetting Tyler by helping her. The restaurant staff looked the other way and went back to their own business. Megan held her belly as resentment consumed her. Tyler’s support was the only thing helping Kelsey to take Megan down. Otherwise, Megan would still be living her life. First, Charlie threw her out. Even Steve left her. Steven beat her up, causing her to lose her baby. Megan blamed everything on Kelsey. She would make Kelsey pay. Megan vowed to get her revenge. Losing her willpower to the pain, Megan lost consciousness. It was a kind female patron who called the emergency line for Megan. …Kelsey helped Susan into the lounge on the top floor. The place was definitely remarkable. The interior was lavishly appointed, with each piece of furniture carefully

    Steve mounted Megan and punched her face left and right. Megan would hurl abuse at him at first, but her tirade quickly turned into pleading. Steve smacked Megan over two dozen times, only stopping when Megan lay limp on the floor. He turned to Tyler, his grimacing face replaced with ingratiation. “I have taught the bitch a lesson, Mr. Lang.” Stoic-faced, Tyler did not spare a glance at Steve. Steve was irrelevant to Tyler. Tyler took strides to Kelsey and grabbed her hands. He murmured in her ear, “Do you feel better now?” Kelsey looked back at Megan’s swollen face and curled her lips. “She’s not worth my time anyway.” The constant struggles with Charlie and Megan over the years had hardened Kelsey emotionally.Megan’s verbal abuse was like water off a duck’s back. Besides, Charlie had kicked Megan out of the house. Megan’s words were nothing more than a desperate cry now. Steve was no better than Charlie, and Megan had it coming. Despite his age, Steve went

    Megan widened her eyes in disbelief at Steve. “D-Did you just hit me?” The last thing Megan expected was Steve to attack her. She thought she had compromised enough by dating a man so much older.Steve had been spoiling her rotten lately, giving her everything she wanted. Megan had gotten a big head. She thought she had Steve in the bag. Yet, to her dismay, Steve assaulted her. “Bitch!” Steve made a face of disgust. “Why did you slander Ms. Young?” In Steve’s opinion, Megan was more trouble than she was worth. Steve had gone to great lengths to curry favor with Tyler. Megan had gone and insulted Tyler’s woman right in his face. To make matters worse, Steve was caught up in the mess too. Steve regretted spoiling Megan, and she had gone in over her head. Megan’s eyes welled up. “Steve…” Her lips quivered as she looked at Steve with a hurt expression. Paying her no mind, Steve was occupied with ideas to please Tyler. “She’s just an escort to me, Mr. La

    Steve felt embarrassed. He had been wanting to make Tyler’s acquaintance, but a chance to meet him was hard to come by. Now that he ran into Tyler, Steve was determined to make the most out of it. “Let me be a host to you today, Mr. Lang—” Megan cut Steve off. “Mr. Lang, you might not know this, but Kelsey’s father is facing bankruptcy. He’s deep in debt too. Kelsey and her father are just going to be your burden. Don’t let Kelsey’s seemingly innocence fool you. They are just going to leech off you. My daughter, Josephine, is a nice and sensible girl. She’s a better companion than Kelsey. I’ll be delighted to introduce you to her.” Kelsey was impressed with Megan. Even now, Megan had not given up on pushing Josephine into Tyler’s arms. In Kelsey’s past life, Megan went to lengths to matchmake Josephine and Tyler. Nevertheless, Tyler never took an interest in Josephine. Megan was just as delusional as ever. However, Kelsey had no idea that Charlie owed a lot of mon

    “She’s just a bitch.” Megan hissed through clenched teeth, her jealousy showing. She had a hunch. The sudden change in the manager’s attitude toward Kelsey was likely due to Tyler. Megan wished she had Kelsey’s luck to meet a good-looking and rich man. Steve did not believe Megan. If Kelsey was just an ordinary woman, the manager would not take her up to the exclusive top floor. That was a height Steve could never reach despite a lifetime of hard work. However, Kelsey had no plans to accept the manager’s invitation to dine on the top floor. Since Charlie would not be attending or taking Susan out of the nursing home, Kelsey had no reason to dine alone on the top floor. Kelsey was better off getting back to her new office and ordering a takeout. Her discussion with Rosette about the costume design for Adrienne’s new film would continue this afternoon.However, the manager stopped her from leaving and apologized to her frantically. “Please see it in your heart not to

    It was upsetting enough for Kelsey since Charlie managed to deceive her once more. However, Megan had to gloat. “What did I tell you? I told you Charlie can’t afford this place. He can’t even show his face because he’s expected to pay the bill.” “Oh, quit it!” Kelsey glared at Megan. To think Kelsey would give her an attitude. Megan had Steve on her side now. She was no longer the other woman who lived off Charlie’s good graces. Surely, Megan earned the right to mock Charlie. “You’re the manager. Has St. Gills lost its exclusivity? It’s a disgrace that you let just about anyone in,” Megan said sarcastically. Kelsey retaliated. “Oh, aren’t you a picture of poise, Megan? With your sugar daddy, you can’t even make it past security.” “You!” Megan looked daggers at Kelsey. Livid, Megan commanded the manager, “Throw the bitch out now before I’ll make sure your establishment ceases to operate.” The manager narrowed his eyes on Kelsey and Megan. Judging by Kelsey’s mod

    “Kelsey, what are you doing here?” Megan asked harshly.With Megan and Steve approaching, the manager drew close and welcomed them. It then dawned on Kelsey that Megan and Steve were the VIPs who took the private lounge from Charlie. The manager explained the situation, and Megan sneered. “Charlie is going broke. I doubt he can afford to dine at St. Gill’s. With his mounting debts, he’s embarrassing himself when the time comes to pay the bill.” Kelsey narrowed her eyes. Charlie must be using Susan’s birthday as a pretext to ask for more money from Tyler since the family business was going bust. However, Tyler had given Charlie a large sum of money. It was puzzling how Charlie managed to burn through it. Kelsey snapped back with a smirk. “Even so, Charlie is paying with his own money, unlike some people who can’t live a day without a sugar daddy.” Color drained from Megan’s face. Kelsey was basically calling her a gold digger. Megan would not be in this position in th

    Kelsey and Rosette discussed the specifics of auditioning for Adrienne’s new film’s costume design role.As the time neared noon, Kelsey glanced at her phone. Tyler had not replied to her text message. It was nearly time for Susan’s birthday celebration at St. Gill’s. Kelsey decided to go ahead to St. Gill’s. While on the way, she gave Charlie a call to inform that Tyler would not be available for the celebration. Charlie’s voice reflected his disappointment. “What’s this? Why can’t Tyler make it?” Kelsey bit the bullet and explained, “I haven’t been able to reach him.” “I thought Tyler adored you. Why couldn’t you get in touch with him? Did you upset him?” Charlie grilled her. Kelsey refuted, “Things have been going well for us, thanks for asking. He has an emergency today.” Her bond with Tyler could not be stronger. Heck, they nearly went all the way this morning. The nerve of her father to put her down. Charlie was furious. “I knew I couldn’t count on you.” He
