Second Chance at Life and Love Chapter 166
Before Kelsey could even get a word out, Charlie had hung up on her.Kelsey stared inexplicably at the display of her phone with her brows furrowed.Something must have happened for Charlie to be so incensed.“What's wrong?” Tyler suddenly drew toward her and asked.“My dad told me to go home,” Kelsey expressed with a solemn look.Tyler's expression was wrought with concern. “I’ll go with you.”“No, it’s fine, I can handle him by myself.” Kelsey shook her head.After they finished their breakfast, Tyler drove her back to her house.Before she stepped out of the car, Tyler asked again, “Are you sure you don't want me to go in with you?"Kelsey smiled and assured him. “No!”She had to learn to be independent instead of relying on him for every single little thing.“I’m going, bye!"She pecked a kiss on Tyler’s cheek.Before he even had time to react, she had thrown the door open and started to skip back to her house.Tyler gently grazed the tip of his fingers on the spot wh

Kelsey’s father had always been a man who put a lot of stock in his reputation. What happened with the Langs breaking off the engagement with the Youngs was enough of a public humiliation for him. If the picture Kelsey had taken got out to the news media, it would further sabotage the Youngs’ image even if Kelsey was not a famous figure.“As if the Youngs have any reputation to speak of at this point!” Kelsey remarked with scorn, “You were the one trying to legitimize your bastard daughter born outside of wedlock, do you think the scandal you have caused hasn’t dragged the family name through the mud already?”Megan was stunned speechless.“Shut your mouth!” Charlie bellowed, “It looks like it’s about time I beat some lessons into you so you learn some respect!”With that, he lifted his hands in the air and prepared to swing it down across Kelsey’s face.Kelsey stood still and braced herself.This time, it was Josephine who stepped forward and pretended to mediate the situation.
Second Chance at Life and Love Chapter 168
Kelsey caught on to what they were getting at.What they were upset about was not the fact that she had chosen to get engaged without consulting them. Instead, they were bothered that she did not clue them in so they could take advantage of the engagement to bring in a fortune with the dowry.Charlie fixed a look on her. “Who is your fiancé? How much is his net worth?”Kelsey shrugged. “I don't know.”It was true that she did not know about Tyler’s net worth.Both Megan and Josephine seemed surprised upon hearing Kelsey’s response.How could Kelsey possibly not know about her future husband’s net worth?They deemed that she must have settled with marrying some poor man just so she could avoid marrying whoever they set her up with.Charlie kept a straight face and continued probing, “What about his parents? Who are they?”“His parents have passed away…” Kelsey was telling the truth.After Tyler's father died in a car accident, his grandparents decided to entrust him to his unc
Second Chance at Life and Love Chapter 169
At the same time, it was also a not-so-subtle prompt to Charlie that they could still work out something for the dowry.Charlie's expression softened slightly upon being reminded of this.“When you get home, tell your fiancé that I want to see him!” Charlie imposed his authority as a father figure over her.“Why do you want to see him?” Kelsey cocked a look at him.She had a hunch that it was because he wanted to negotiate the dowry with him.If he found out that it was Tyler she was marrying, he was sure to demand a fortune.Fortunately, she had wisely kept it a secret from him.Charlie stated in a narcissistic tone, “I am your father! Since this man is marrying you, shouldn’t he be obliged to come to me to pay his respects?”“That’s surprising, I didn’t know you remember that you were my father!” Kelsey stated snidely.“You!”Charlie was again incensed.He was so furious he could barely catch his breath.“Charlie…”“Dad…”Megan and Josephine rushed up to him and feigned

Inside the conference room of the Lang Group.Tyler sat at the head of the table. His expression was stoic and severe. As usual, his blessed features seemed like that of a chiseled statue.He cast tremendous pressure on the conference room.There were hundreds of employees in the room with him. Every one of them was intently focused on him and was afraid to be distracted even for a split second.The manager of the marketing department had just finished presenting his report and snuck glances at Tyler.However, Tyler seemed to be taking his time to elicit a response.The manager was beginning to panic.He was worried that Tyler was not impressed with the report he had presented. Perhaps there was something he had missed?Soon, his forehead pooled with sweat.At that crucial moment, the ringtone of a phone shattered the dull silence inside the room.Everyone held their breath and waited for the boss to crucify someone.Whoever it was should have known better than to not put th

Zara remarked with scorn, “Kelsey, did you truly think you deserve someone like Tyler?”Kelsey snapped back. “Do you think you deserve him?”Zara was extravagantly confident. “Of course I do! I am the daughter of the Quests. We are a wealthy household known across the city unlike you lowly Youngs who are just clinging onto your former glory! Besides, have you forgotten that your father has found a new mistress and is planning to let his stepdaughter become the lady of the Youngs? You don’t even have any status to speak of anymore, who do you think you are to take Tyler away from me?”Kelsey’s voice was frosty. “Did you think Tyler was some kind of object that you could steal away from me just because you want to?”Zara was suddenly struck speechless and stammered over her words, “I…”Kelsey stated bluntly, “There was never a competition in the first place. I am with Tyler because I am the one whom he likes!”She made sure to emphasize the part where she mentioned Tyler liked her.
Second Chance at Life and Love Chapter 172
When Cooper got home the same night, Kelsey immediately confronted him about his affair.Cooper flatly denied the accusation.Regardless, Kelsey was doubtful of his claims.At one point, Cooper became irate with her questioning him and slapped her.That was the first time Cooper struck her, but it would not be the last time...When Tyler got home, it was completely dark.He had been very distracted at work today because the only thing on his mind was Kelsey.He wanted to be with her all the time. If he could, he would bring her to work.As soon as he finished work for the day, he refused all kinds of invitations to go out and made straight for home.When he opened the door, it was completely quiet inside the house.He assumed this meant Kelsey was not home and frowned.Suddenly, he was taken over with a dejected feeling.After he took off his shoes at the entrance and stepped into the living room, he immediately noticed a small figure curled up on the couch.Kelsey was wea

Charles knew that Tyler was a mentally strong man and that the only one who could upset him would be Kelsey.Just as he thought, his hunch was correct.He noticed the way Tyler’s expression darkened the moment he heard the mention of Kelsey’s name.“You talk too much!”Tyler shot a begrudging look at him before returning to his drink.“Oh my god, was my hunch correct? Kelsey didn’t dump you again, did she?” Charles asked frantically.Tyler seems depressed. It took him a while to grumble, “No!”This time, Kelsey did not leave him and had even taken the initiative to move in with him. The only problem was that it seemed like she was still thinking about another man despite being by his side.He had returned home with his heart filled with excitement of getting to see her again. The sudden mention of Cooper’s name escaping from her lips when he tried to kiss her had thrown him off for a loop.The lights in the house were turned off at the time and it was already dark outside.

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
Second Chance at Life and Love Chapter 521
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

Kelsey frowned. “What are you up to now?” She doubted Charlie was so nice to want the family to be together for her grandmother, Susan’s birthday. It was probably an excuse to get close to Tyler. Since Charlie got together with Megan, Kelsey could count on her finger the number of times he had been to the nursing home to visit Susan. Kelsey could not remember the last time Charlie celebrated Susan’s birthday. Charlie could not even remember Susan’s birthdate. Yet, Charlie was so kind to throw her a party. Kelsey could only suspect that Charlie had ulterior motives. “How can you say that about me, Kelsey? I’m your father. Am I wrong to throw your grandmother a birthday party?” Charlie reprimanded. Kelsey was skeptical. “You’re not wrong, but…” It was uncertain whether he had Susan’s interest at heart. “But what?” Charlie asked. He started blaming himself. “I know that I listened to Megan and neglected you and Mom. I’ve gotten rid of her. Now, I just want to be a go

With a predatory glint in his eyes, Tyler pressed his lips against Kelsey’s.“I’ll take your silence as your consent.” “Hang on!” Kelsey pushed him away. She meant business since it was about his sleepwalking last night. “I have a question.” “What is it?” Tyler asked in a raspy voice, his lips still lingering across her skin. His hands eagerly pulled her gown off her. “Do you sleepwalk?” Kelsey asked. Tyler paused, his eyes bearing a weight of emotions. Kelsey knew she was right on the money. Tyler had known about his sleepwalking. “Did you know you were sleepwalking last night?” Kelsey said while fixating earnestly on him. She was more concerned about his health. Tyler seemed healthy. Yet, he wandered off in a sleeping state. Judging by Tyler’s response, it was not his first rodeo. Generally speaking, sleepwalking was associated with trauma or unresolved issues. Kelsey suspected that Tyler had been through some kind of trauma, or something in his past wa

Tyler opened his eyes abruptly. Bare and dominant, he loomed above Kelsey while his penetrating gaze looked deep into her soul.Lost in the heat of his kiss, Kelsey opened her eyes in confusion at his sudden pause. She met his profound gaze. Kelsey’s heart skipped a beat. Her breath hitched. She stared at the man towering over her in disbelief, her eyes bulging. Tyler was awake. He examined her, his eyes scouring every inch of her body. Once he was certain that it was Kelsey, Tyler was relieved. “I’m home, babe,” he uttered with a sigh of relief. Feeling assured, he closed his eyes and rested his head on her shoulder. He filled his lungs with her familiar scent. Kelsey was taken aback, but her head gradually cleared. She thought that Tyler would not stop their little bed activity. However, Tyler stayed in the same position for a while. His steady breathing came soon after. He fell asleep. Kelsey was in disbelief. Since he wanted her so badly, Kelsey ass

Worried, Kelsey followed Tyler in case he hurt himself or fell off the stairs. He was not in a conscious state after all. Kelsey would not be so abrupt as to wake him from his sleepwalking. She was aware that waking a sleepwalker could lead to shock or other health problems.Kelsey stuck close behind Tyler and made sure he got up the stairs safely. Tyler returned to their bedroom and lay on the bed. Kelsey drew close for a look. The soft moonlight streamed through the French windows, casting a hazy glow over his defined face.Tyler lay there motionlessly, his eyes closed.Kelsey watched him sleep tenderly. For a moment, she drooled over him. However, she quickly frowned at the smell of alcohol on Tyler. Kelsey went to open the window to let in some airflow, dispersing the fumes of liquor. She then picked out a fresh pair of pajamas from the closet for Tyler.Tyler would need a change of briefs too. However, Kelsey’s cheeks burned when she pulled his brief draw

Kelsey returned to the villa she shared with Tyler. She intended to tell Tyler how her day with her best friend had gone. Charles was somehow caught in the crossfire. Yvonne’s mother-in-law accused her of having an affair with Charles which did a number to his reputation. Kelsey wanted to ask Tyler about his opinion on returning Charles’ favor. Since Charles was Tyler’s childhood friend, Tyler must know him best. However, Tyler had business plans to attend to, so he would not be home for dinner.Kelsey was alone in the upstairs bedroom, occupied with all related matters involving her new business venture. Since Kelsey and Rosette were going to audition to design costumes for Adrienne’s new film, Kelsey felt it was essential to study the genre of the new film and Adrienne’s past fashion choices. Time passed. By the time Kelsey shut her laptop, it was eleven at night. Rising to her feet, she stretched and walked out of the bedroom. Kelsey was on her way downstairs

“I’m sorry, Kelsey. I’m sorry to ruin lunch,” Yvonne murmured. Kelsey put her arm around her shoulder. “Why are you apologizing to me? Charles told me what he needed me for. It’s okay to skip lunch.” She paused and looked at Yvonne, her head tilted. “But Yvonne, you seem to have changed.” “How so?” Yvonne asked with a raised brow. “You’ve become composed and cunning now.” Kelsey said with admiration, “But it’s a good thing. I don’t want you to be Adam and his family’s doormat. You didn’t marry him to be his slave.” Yvonne curled her lips. “I’ve been through a lot, but I’ve learned a lot too. I had to learn from my mistakes.” She used to walk on eggshells around her husband and mother-in-law. She gave them too much leeway, and they walked all over her. In the future, Yvonne would not be so dumb as to let others hurt her again. She needed to stand up for herself. … Kelsey dropped Yvonne back home. Before, Yvonne would cry to Kelsey for hours after Agatha humiliated
