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.
After hanging up, Kelsey opened one of the packages.There was a pink chiffon dress inside.She carefully took the dress out of the box. Its texture was so delicate that she was immediately obsessed with it.“Wow, it's so pretty.”She was smiling from ear to ear and could not help but be exasperated by the beauty of the dress.Then, she went to the dresser to put it on.The size was just right, it was as if the dress was tailor-made for her.She twirled around in front of the mirror and could not help herself from giggling.Then, she drew closer to the mirror and tied her hair into a bun. After that, she used a curling iron to curl her bangs so they would rest across her forehead. The look added a delicate touch to her appearance.After that, she put on the silver high heels that Tyler had also bought for her.She felt like she had transformed into a princess from a fairy tale.After making sure she looked presentable, she headed downstairs and stepped out of the house.Sha
Kelsey rarely attended such events. Ever since her mother's unfortunate accident, Charlie and Megan had been actively keeping her trapped inside the house.Charlie always insisted on bringing his illegitimate daughter, Josephine, to all the social events the family was invited to.Therefore, it was not surprising that most people at the venue did not recognize her.Keysey frowned and stopped short when she heard all the nasty remarks they made about her.Tyler gently palmed his hand around hers. She could feel his warmth surging into her palms and feel protected in his powerful presence.With him by her side, she felt like she could take on the world.She looked up and smiled tenderly at him.“Wait!”She was about to keep walking when Tyler suddenly stopped her.She was confused. “What's wrong?”“Your hair is messy.”He said with a doting look, then he proceeded to smooth out her hair with the tips of his fingers and fixed her look in no time at all. Upon noting the gestu
Mistress?Kelsey was amused by the suggestion.She was already engaged with Tyler, she was the proper Mrs. Lang.It was ridiculous to accuse her of being a mistress!She cast Mia a look and asked, “Is your cousin Zara by any chance?”“Looks like you do know something at least. Why don’t you stay away from Mr. Lang from now on?” An envious look shone in Mia’s eyes. “If you don’t, it’s not just my cousin you have to worry about, even I won’t let you get away with it!”Kelsey observed how confrontative Mia was. She had a hunch that despite her claims of speaking up for Zara, Mia was secretly interested in Tyler as well.Unfortunately, neither she nor her cousin, Zara, stood a chance anymore, because Tyler was already her husband.Kelsey sneered and remarked contemptuously, “Go ahead, I’d like to see what you are going to do to me!”She was blatantly taunting her, there was no chance she was going to keep away from Tyler!“I have been nice enough to you, don’t push your luck!” Mi
“No, that wasn’t what I meant to say.” Cleo shook his head profusely before regarding her with an attentive look. “I was just thinking that you must be something special to become Tyler's partner.”Tyler was well known for being picky when choosing a partner because he had very high standards. No common woman would ever attract his interest.Even Zara could not draw his attention.Since Kelsey managed to capture his interest, there must be something about her that was exceptional.“You flatter me, Mr. Quest.” Kelsey smiled graciously.She was just lucky because she was the first person who had claimed Tyler’s heart. She was his first love after all.The two talked briefly before the stoic voice of a man cut their conversation short.“What are you two talking about?”Kelsey was taken aback and quickly turned around.She was greeted by Tyler’s tall and striking profile. He had shown up at one point without her realizing it."Tyler!” she cried out in delight upon recognizing him
