Apart from setting fire to the house to distract Tyler's bodyguards, Barton also sent more than a dozen of his thugs to break into the house.However, what he did not foresee was for Tyler to subdue all of the professional fighters by himself.Marshall was completely in awe of the feat and would not stop going on to Charles about how he had never seen such a terrific fighter.The entire time, Charles could not help but be awed by how terrifying Tyler was.He was aware that Tyler had once been deployed in the army and had gone through special training, but no one ever had a fair estimate of how strong he was as a fighter.After this episode, he finally had a good impression of just how much Tyler was capable of.Tyler must be a formidable fighter to be able to fight his way out with his bare hands when he was completely outnumbered.It looked like Charles should be careful to not upset Tyler in the future.While he was still thinking about this, the speedboat had finally arrived
That was when they heard footsteps coming from outside.Marshall’s men were monitoring the area and had the place tightly guarded.No outsiders were allowed in the area unless it was…As soon as Charles threw open the door, Kelsey immediately spotted Tyler who was lying on the bed.“Tyler!”She cried out exasperatedly and rushed toward him.She was relieved to see him alive and well.It was only upon approaching Tyler that she realized that his injuries were nowhere close to minor.There were bandages strapped around his arms, stomach, and legs.She immediately stopped herself from lunging into his arms.A terrible feeling took over when she realized the extent of his injuries.“Come here!”Tyler suddenly waved her over.Several hours ago, Marshall had already clued him in about Charles bringing Kelsey over to the island to visit him. Still, he could not contain the surging joy inside him when he finally saw Kelsey appearing in person.He wanted nothing more than to take
“I’m sorry for making you worry about me.”Tyler embraced Kelsey tightly and whispered a heartfelt apology in her ears.Kelsey leaned against him and sobbed. “Did you know how scared I was when the video call was suddenly cut off and I couldn’t contact you all night?”"I promise this will never happen again.” Tyler vowed softly.With Tyler coaxing her, Kelsey's nerves slowly subsided.She sniffled faintly, then suddenly turned up to him and asked, “How serious are your injuries?”“The doctor has already attended to me, it’s nothing serious.” Tyler softly assured her and pressed his forehead against hers.He was withholding the truth. When he was fighting off the gang of thugs, he nearly had one of his ribs broken.Fortunately, he was a good fighter and had good instincts, otherwise, it would have turned out worse.However, he still came out of the scuffle with a broken left arm and a sprained right arm. In addition, he had various wounds of different degrees riddled across his
As Tyler made the remark, he gestured at the wounds riddled across his body, then he slowly gestured to his lower half…Upon registering what he was hinting at, Kelsey blushed red like a ripe tomato.“Quit it! Don’t be a pervert first thing in the morning!”She shot him a vexed look but was careful not to make abrupt movements to avoid irritating his wounds.“For my part, I would love to be a pervert.”A misty, lustful look suddenly filled Tyler’s eyes upon reaching this note. He drew himself closer to Kelsey and said, “Say, we haven’t properly celebrated our engagement yet, why don’t we…”Kelsey could feel his breath beating against her cheeks as he spoke. Her heartbeat accelerated against her will.“We can wait until you are fully recovered,” she remarked shyly.Tyler tipped his finger against the bottom of her chin and made her face him.“Why don’t we settle for a kiss for now?” He suggested curtly.Kelsey yelped. “Huh?”He wanted her to kiss him?Tyler continued to draw
Yvonne was pregnant?!Kelsey was flabbergasted.She immediately asked Yvonne to come out to meet her.They decided to meet at a fancy restaurant.As soon as they met, Yvonne handed her the keys to the apartment. “Kels, I already moved home.”Kelsey was taken aback. “What? You moved back already?”Yvonne nodded. “Yes, Adam has apologized to me. Besides, it's inconvenient to live by myself since I’m pregnant now.”Kelsey could not shake off her concern. “Are you sure Adam realizes his mistakes?”Perhaps he was only pandering to Yvonne’s soft nature because he found out she was pregnant. Perhaps the goal was just to bring her home so she could birth a child for him.Yvonne smiled self-satisfactorily. “He was very sincere with his apology this time, I guess he did it for the sake of our child.”Kelsey then asked, “What about your mother-in-law? Is she still living at his place?”Even Yvonne herself seemed taken aback upon reaching the mention of her mother-in-law. “She apologize
Kelsey was only hoping to let Yvonne eat something but ended up ordering too many meat dishes. A few bites were all it took to upset Yvonne’s stomach and cause her to throw up violently.“Alright!”Yvonne smiled gracefully.Kelsey went forward to help her up, then they returned to their seats.Unexpectedly, she heard Cooper's voice when they passed by one of the private boxes.“Mr. Barton, here’s to working together!”This piqued her attention and caused her to turn around to spy a look.Through the glass window fitted on the door, she saw Cooper sharing a toast with none other than Barton.There was no way she would forget Barton’s face.Last time in the club, she almost got killed by one of his men.She also recalled Tyler mentioning that the incident on the island in Phindeo had something to do with Barton.She was not expecting to see Barton and Cooper sharing a toast together today.Nothing good could ever come out of these two. They must be up to something nefarious a
Kelsey was taken by shock.As it turned out, Cooper did spot her just now!He even noticed Yvonne going to the washroom to throw up.A wary look flashed across her eyes. “What are you trying to say?”Cooper chuckled, a sinister glow flashed across his eyes. “Nothing, I was just checking up on your friend.”Checking up on her?Kelsey highly doubted it.He must have brought Yvonne's pregnancy up to threaten her.“My friend doesn’t need you to care about her.”Kelsey hissed shapely before turning to Yvonne. “Yvonne, why don't you go first? I just need to have a short talk with him.”She was worried about Cooper lashing out and attacking Yvonne, who was pregnant.To be on the safe side, she decided she needed to find out what Cooper had to say.Yvonne regarded Cooper with an agitated look and turned to Kelsey. “I’ll wait for you at the entrance.”She was worried about leaving Kelsey with Cooper.Kelsey nodded curtly. “Alright.”Then, she followed Cooper to a quiet corner.“
As if Kelsey was the one at fault to begin with.She had to constantly shower Cooper with kind gestures just so she could prove that she had not been looking down on him.She would brush aside all the abuse he had inflicted on her. In a twisted way, she came to blame herself for neglecting his feelings.This was Cooper’s way of manipulation and here he was, resorting to the same tactic!Did he think she was still as stupid as she was in the past?“If that’s what you think, then so be it.”Kelsey shrugged and was completely unfazed by his accusations. She could not even be bothered to explain her stance by this point.With that, she mercilessly turned away.She did not care what Cooper thought of her.She had been far too kind to him in the past life, even when he did not deserve it. All it did was allow him to manipulate her to his will.Now that she thought about it, so what if she did admit that she looked down on him?It might even help to prove that she was no pushover.
