Second Chance at Life and Love Chapter 17
Since it was nearly noon, Kelsey assumed Tyler must have left home and gone to work by now. Kelsey heard a woman talking downstairs when approaching the staircase. “I went to your office, Tyler, and your secretary said that you aren’t at work today. I thought I should check up on you in case you are sick.” Kelsey found the voice rather familiar. She listened carefully, and she finally determined the voice belonged to Zara. Zara’s presence at Tyler’s villa was the last thing Kelsey expected. Tyler simply gave Zara a chilling look without replying to her. His family owned the business, so he did not need to answer to anyone about his whereabouts, much less explain himself to Zara. A while later, he glanced at her in annoyance. “How do you know where I live?” Zara chuckled, not at all feeling embarrassed. She said smugly, “I live in the area too. Didn’t you know?” Zara bought a villa in the same community to be neighbors with Tyler upon learning of his residence the
Second Chance at Life and Love Chapter 18
Kelsey got goosebumps from listening to Zara’s talk. The only thing she was unsure of was Tyler’s stance. Tyler had not said much, and Kelsey could not read his expression and body language from upstairs. There was no telling whether Tyler consented to Zara’s advances or wanted to kick her out of the house. Knowing Tyler, Kelsey thought he would not be pleased with a woman finding out his address and making an abrupt visit. However, Kelsey could not read his repulsion and refusal in his little words. It was the very reason why Zara was pushing her luck. The situation in the downstairs living room was a mystery to Kelsey. She could only speculate if they were looking into each other’s eyes or hugging. For all they knew, they could be sharing a kiss. Kelsey was filled with unrest and agitation. Tyler had given the necklace, the only belonging of his parents, to Zara after all. Zara clearly meant a lot to him. Perhaps Tyler would use Zara’s visit to the house to

For the first time, Kelsey openly admitted to the public that Tyler was her fiancé. Zara turned ashen, her eyes narrowing on Kelsey. “Spent the night?” Zara murmured in shock. Assuming Kelsey’s statement was truthful, she would have crashed at Tyler's place last night. That would leave two adults alone in the house. One thing would surely lead to another. Zara cocked her head back and desperately looked at Tyler for confirmation. She hoped to hear Tyler deny last night’s events, even though the chances were slim. Tyler’s gaze fell on Zara as he contemplated a response. Suddenly, Kelsey clutched his tie and yanked him toward her. “Why are you looking at her? Is she hotter than me?” Tyler replied without thinking, “You’re hotter.” Bingo. Kelsey felt good. The displeasure of seeing Zara in Tyler’s pad lifted. Kelsey glanced at Zara’s grimace and asked, “Should I give you some space since Ms. Quest is here?” She motioned to push Tyler away. Tyler tightened

Zara sure had the nerve to stick around. Kelsey’s words made Zara’s blood boil. “You—” Her lips quivered with her resentment for Kelsey. Kelsey interrupted Zara from talking, “What? Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.” She showed Zara the door. Zara swallowed her anger. “Who said I was leaving?” Kelsey could think twice about getting rid of her. With a raised brow, Kelsey asked, “Don’t tell me you want to stay to watch me and my husband get intimate. Are you still trying to hook up with my husband?” Zara was furious because Kelsey’s statement hit a raw nerve. “Tyler is not your husband. Have you no shame?” Kelsey glanced at her mockingly. “We are engaged, and the man is mine. You’re the one without any shame for throwing yourself at him.” Zara’s face drained of color. “What did you say?” “Am I wrong?” Kelsey refuted nonchalantly, “You knew he had a fiancée, but you invited yourself to his place. Who knows what you are up to?” Zara was speechless.

Zara’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Tyler…” Her face turned pale with hurt. However, Tyler would not even look at Zara. He said sternly, “Get out!” Zara shivered in fear. She dared not stick around. Zara turned and headed to the door. Before her departure, Zara gave Kelsey a dirty look. The malice was apparent in her gaze. Kelsey could not care less. She and Tyler were still engaged. Despite Zara’s attempts to sink her claws into Kelsey’s man, she had been unsuccessful and shifted the blame to Kelsey instead. “Let’s just ignore her, babe.” Kelsey dangled Tyler’s arm, not wanting Zara to ruin their lunch together. To her surprise, Tyler released her arm without a word. He then went upstairs. “Hey, where are you going?” Kelsey asked in confusion. “The study!” Tyler responded. Kelsey blinked. “Aren’t you having lunch with me?” “Don’t wait up for me.” Tyler’s expression was hard to read. He disappeared into the depths of the spiraling staircase.Kels

Tyler was not in the study. Kelsey wondered where he could be. She hoped Tyler did not run after Zara. Even when Kelsey rushed down the stairs just now, she did not find Tyler and Zara in a compromising position. Tyler was indifferent to Zara the whole time too. However, Kelsey could not shake off the thought that Zara was in possession of the necklace left behind by Tyler’s parents. Kelsey felt uneasy. Tyler would not have given the necklace of sentimental value to Zara unless he was serious about her. Kelsey could only speculate about Tyler’s feelings for Zara. Her gaze moved around the room. Kelsey stumbled upon the velvet box on his desk from last night. She walked over and opened the box for a look. The velvet box contained the Angel’s Tear. The necklace was still there. Tyler had not presented the necklace to anyone yet. For some reason, Kelsey was relieved. She waited in Tyler’s study for a while. His prolonged absence left her no choice but to leav

One outfit was worth thousands, and several articles of clothing were limited editions. Kelsey would not be able to find them over the counter. Jesus Christ. Kelsey was in awe of Tyler’s collection of women’s clothing in his house. Kelsey hoped he did not have a penchant for collecting women’s clothing. She had never noticed his alternate hobby before. Kelsey grabbed a faint yellow dress on the rack of clothing closest to her. The drawer next to the clothing rack held a selection of women’s undergarments. Kelsey picked a white full-cup bra. Since no one was in the closet, Kelsey took off the white shirt. She put on the white bra and panties to match before slipping into the pale-yellow dress. Kelsey was surprised to find that the clothes matched her size perfectly. She checked herself out in the closet’s mirror. Everything, from the undergarment to the dress, was a beautiful fit. The dress outlined her figure and complemented her skin tone, making her stand out.

“Why have you been ignoring me, Kels? Are you angry with me?” Cooper grabbed Kelsey’s hand and asked emotionally. Kelsey shook off his grip and kept a distance from him. “What do you think?” She threw the question back at him. Kelsey thought to herself, ‘I ignore you because I want to. You’re not worth any of my emotions.’She wanted Cooper dead. Cooper’s eyes bore a hint of sinister. “I know that I put you in a difficult position. If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t have to beg Tyler and sleep with him.” Kelsey smirked. Sure enough, nothing she said could get through to the guy. Kelsey had set the record straight with Cooper when they last met. She slept with Tyler of her free will, and Cooper held no bearing on her decision. The man sure thought highly of himself. Cooper suddenly pulled Kelsey into his arms. “Don’t worry. I won’t hold that night against you. I will take care of you,” he promised once more. Kelsey was scornful. “Take care of me? How do you pla

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

“Didn’t you hear what Yvonne said? She’ll go ahead with the divorce. She doesn’t want to stick around until you take everything from her.” Kelsey snapped an angry look at Agatha. “Your son is the one with an affair. Don’t put this on Yvonne. Save your breath for your son. Yvonne is the victim. Who are you to accuse her?” Kelsey could not stand Agatha. Agatha placed herself above others and used Yvonne as a punching bag. Charles tipped the restaurant manager the wink. The restaurant manager led a security team to Agatha. “This is a public place, not your playground. Please leave now.” Agatha was humiliated to be thrown out of the premises. Instead of breaking down and apologizing, Yvonne calmly agreed to the divorce. Agatha did not see it coming. She needed to talk to her son. Clearly, Agatha had to find new ways to keep Yvonne in line. “Hmph! In that case, I should ask your parents if they know about their daughter filing for divorce,” Agatha said. In Agatha’s opi

Agatha’s son, Adam, was the one who had an affair. Yet, Agatha made Adam out to be the victim instead. Yvonne became the wicked woman who cheated on Adam. Kelsey racked her brain to think of ways to prove Yvonne’s innocence. Yvonne broke her silence.“Tell me. What are you trying to achieve?” Agatha’s big fuss was met with Yvonne’s nonchalant reply. For a moment, Agatha was in a daze. In the past, Agatha often berated Yvonne until the latter had no choice but to apologize. Agatha had always kept Yvonne in line through aggressive methods. Yet now, Yvonne asked her what she wanted to do. Instead of having a meltdown, Yvonne carried herself with ease. Agatha narrowed her eyes and said bitterly, “We pride ourselves on our decency. We can’t put up with your cheating. Just finalize the divorce and get out of my family. I don’t want to carry your shame.” She glared at Yvonne in disdain. “Fine.” Yvonne readily agreed. Yvonne understood that Agatha was a pro at throwi

Many patrons turned their heads to Yvonne and Charles’ table. The incident sparked a lot of chatter. Kelsey rushed over and explained to Agatha. “You’re mistaken. Yvonne and I are grabbing lunch after a day of shopping. Charles and Yvonne don’t know each other.” Agatha did not expect to see Kelsey there. However, she could not take back what she had said. Besides, Yvonne and Adam were getting a divorce. If Agatha could nail infidelity on Yvonne, Adam would get off the divorce with more. “Oh, your best friend can’t save you out of this, Yvonne. Don’t try to hide the fact that you’re with another man now.” Agatha was determined to accuse Yvonne. Charles was not having it. “Ma’am…” he said disgruntledly in an attempt to clear the air. “Shut up!” Agatha snapped and criticized him too. “Why are you flirting with a married woman? I get a bad vibe from you.” Charles was speechless. He was a gentleman. There was no way he would be caught dead hitting on a married woman.

Sensing Yvonne’s blues, Kelsey wanted her to eat well and divert her attention elsewhere. Yvonne ordered a variety. In truth, she had no appetite. Kelsey added a few more dishes.Not satisfied with the order, Charles told the server to bring up all the chef’s recommendations. “Won’t we have too much food, Charles?” Kelsey said. Charles smiled without a care. “It’s okay. You can’t have too much food.” While the food was being prepared, Kelsey asked, “What’s the favor you need?” “Oh, yeah. Tyler said that you have established an office with Rosette,” Charles uttered. “Yes.” Kelsey nodded. “Is there anything I can do to help?” Charles asked earnestly. Kelsey understood that Charles had feelings for Rosette. “Nothing as of yet,” she responded with a raised brow. Charles was a little late as Cleo had helped them a lot in setting up the business. “Let me know if you ever need any help,” Charles said. Kelsey smiled with intrigue. “Are you pursuing Rosette, Charles?

On the way out of the private detective agency, Yvonne kept to herself. “What’s wrong, Yvonne?” sensing Yvonne’s crestfallen mood, Kelsey cocked her head and asked.“I thought Adam was having a child with another woman, but the baby is not his,” Yvonne expressed sarcastically. “What goes around comes around.” Kelsey sneered. She did not feel sorry for Adam at all. The man was so heartless to abandon a good wife like Yvonne. He had it coming to be deceived by his lover. Adam had himself to blame if Tobias went after him. Yvonne sniffled. “I’m glad I have evidence of Adam’s infidelity. He can’t take our house away now. I can go ahead with the divorce.” “Congratulations on getting rid of the cheating bastard!” Kelsey patted Yvonne’s shoulder. In Kelsey’s past life, Adam and his family drained the life out of Yvonne, and she lost everything. Yvonne had nothing to live for. It was a good thing that Yvonne was able to divorce Adam and get a new lease on life in this life.
Second Chance at Life and Love Chapter 509
It was impossible. Surely, Tobias would not allow Rachel to cheat on him if he had known Rachel and Adam were more than friends. Sam spilled the beans. “Tobias made his fortune thanks to his wife’s family. He may look like he gets all the women, but he’s terrified of his wife. While his wife went overseas to accompany their son on his studies, Tobias saw his chance to have an affair. But she’s back and keeping a close eye on him now. Tobias is desperate to cover his tracks.” Kelsey narrowed her eyes. “So Adam is just Tobias’ smokescreen?” Sam raised a brow. “To avoid his wife’s suspicion, Tobias set up his lover with another man. He went as far as to hook them up to mislead his wife. This was why I was able to capture photos of Adam and Rachel on dates.” Tobias wanted these photos to be taken. Kelsey understood why Rachel was so bold to cheat on her sugar daddy. “Who’s the father of Rachel’s baby?” Yvonne asked. Sam smirked. “Tobias, of course.” The answer did not co
