Second Chance at Life and Love Chapter 221
Kelsey clearly remembered that the woman James had his tongue down the throat of was not his wife, Rhea.Still… Kelsey stared at Rhea’s photo online for a moment. It was uncanny how much Rhea resembled the woman Kelsey had spotted with Cooper in the villa compound when she was tailing Megan. For all Kelsey knew, the woman with Cooper was Rhea, his sister-in-law. Kelsey was stunned. A wave of emotions overcame Kelsey. The villa compound was in a remote area. Kelsey would not have tracked Megan down there if not to get evidence of her cheating. Surprisingly, Kelsey caught Cooper and a woman resembling Rhea there. She suspected that Cooper had an affair with his sister-in-law. Lost in her thoughts, Kelsey narrowed her eyes and failed to notice the open bedroom door. Tyler approached the bed and pulled her into his arms. “Are you angry?” He ran his fingers along her waist, his breath mingling in her ear. Kelsey shuddered. “What?” Tyler’s eyes were unreadable.

Tyler had always known that he could not make Kelsey love him. To make Kelsey forget Cooper and love him instead, Tyler would have to give her more attention and affection, hoping she would find room for him in her heart.However, Tyler had to face the fact that Cooper would stand between him and Kelsey for a long time. He understood that Kelsey was opening up to him. Alas, it was not enough. Tyler wanted her full heart, mind, and soul. “Dear, I—” Kelsey’s heart sank, and she tried to clear the air as Tyler grimaced harder. Although she read the news article about James, it did not imply that she checked out the Lyons' news because she cared about Cooper.Kelsey only took notice of Cooper’s brother because James would die in a car crash during Cooper’s birthday party next week. Cooper would then become the sole heir of the Lyon family. The last thing she wanted was for Cooper to defeat James easily, take over the family business, and become a threat to Tyler. “I belie

Tyler narrowed his eyes. “James married Rhea for business reasons. He’s head over heels for another woman. This woman is always his plus-one at all social events.” Kelsey raised a brow and expressed, “So the woman knows James, but she’s got serious game to snag him.” “I know, right?” Tyler looked up. “She’s an outstanding designer. I think her name is Carrie Wright or something of that sort.” Tyler could not remember the woman’s name. He only knew that James was in love with a designer named Wright because he had his people monitor the Runway Revolution entries.His people reported back, saying that the one to look for among all competitors was a woman named Wright. It was said that she, one of James’ people, had quite a favorable reputation in the design world. She signed up for Runway Revolution this year because James intended to invest in her new fashion venture. The woman was Kelsey’s biggest competitor in the competition. “Do you mean Cerys Wright?” Kelsey assume

Kelsey waited more than a week for news from the Youngs.She did the math, and the anonymous package of photos to her father, Charlie, would have been delivered by now. To her surprise, she did not hear a peep. It was strange. Charlie should flip out upon learning that his beloved lover, Megan, was getting on with another man. Yet, Charlie was all calm and quiet. What was going on? Kelsey tried to get information from Talia. Talia told her that Charlie and Megan were in preparation to attend the event at the Lyons’ residence. Nothing particular happened. In other words, Charlie did not lash out at Megan for cheating on him. On the contrary, Charlie intended to take Megan and Josephine to Cooper’s birthday bash. It was the last thing Kelsey expected. She could not believe the level of tolerance and indulgence Charlie had for Megan. Charlie chose to turn a blind eye to Megan’s affair. Incredibly, the Youngs were also attending Cooper’s birthday celebration.

“That’s right.” Kelsey nodded and asked in confusion, “Is there a problem?” She wondered if she was overdressed. It would only show Cooper that she was trying too hard. Tyler looked deep into her eyes and uttered, “Is your makeup too light? The dress you’re wearing is too plain, don’t you think?” Kelsey had the assets to doll up, but the attire and makeup she opted for obscured her best features. She pursed her lips. “I think I look fine. My beauty is only meant for you, my husband.” Kelsey was already doing Cooper a huge favor by attending the birthday party. If Kelsey had not needed to stop Cooper from harming James and from becoming the heir of the Lyons, she would not have attended the celebration.Tyler plucked her chin up and took her lips. He looked at her with a smothering look and said, “I’m happy that you think that way, but you need to be at your best when attending your ex-boyfriend’s celebration.” Kelsey was taken aback. “What should I wear then?” Tyler

Soon, Kelsey changed into the black gown and came out of the changing room. Tyler, enjoying a nice glass on the couch, swallowed hard at the sight of her. His eyes darkened. The black lace fabric, exuding a sensual and alluring vibe, hugged Kelsey’s curves. Her bare shoulders drew attention to her long neck. Kelsey stood there with her head held high, looking like a graceful yet proud black swan. She looked like she had the world in the palm of her hands. Tyler had never seen this different side of Kelsey before. Unlike her previous pink and cutesy theme or seductive charm, there was something mysterious and icy about Kelsey. He could not take his eyes away from her all the same. “How do I look?” Kelsey asked, seeing that Tyler fixated on her without a word. With his breath taken away, Tyler praised, “Gorgeous.” Sure enough, his woman was beautiful in whatever she put on. Kelsey curled her lips. “I’m glad you like it.” She did not pick the black dress just b

Tyler looked at Kelsey’s rosy cheeks. She met his gaze innocently, her eyes dewy and dazed. Feeling a rush in his loins, Tyler narrowed his eyes. He wanted her so badly. It took a lot of self-restraint to stop himself from taking things a step too far. “You’re everything I ever wanted, Kels.” Tyler pressed her body against his, his ragged breath caressing her ear. Kelsey’s heart raced, and her cheeks burned. “Geez, let go of me.” She struggled embarrassedly in his embrace. All eyes were on them as he kissed her in a public area. “Promise me not to remove the necklace,” Tyler commanded in a raspy voice, his forehead against hers. The longing in his eyes was as strong as ever. “Otherwise, I’ll kiss you no matter where we are.” Left with no alternatives, Kelsey nodded. “Okay.” Tyler finally grinned happily. Kelsey was now his wife. It was about time he gave her the necklace from his parents. The manager took them to the menswear area upstairs. Tyler put Kelse

Tyler and Kelsey stepped into the mansion together. The birthday celebration was held on a floor with open air. The hall was already packed with people, all chatting and laughing merrily.Following Tyler and Kelsey’s presence, silence immediately befell the room. All eyes were on them. Tyler was born for the spotlight. Even among such distinguished businessmen, he outshone them all.His charisma got all the ladies swooning. They were jealous of Kelsey standing next to him. “Why is it her again? Isn’t Mr. Lang sick and tired of her yet?” “The way I see it, Ms. Quest is too nice, allowing another woman to have her claws all over Mr. Lang.” “Then again, that woman is pretty. No wonder Mr. Lang keeps her around.” As the couple walked in, there were whispers all around. “Oh, isn’t this Mr. Lang? It’s my honor to have you attend my youngest son’s birthday celebration.” With a cheerful laugh, Braun approached them from a distance. He was accompanied by his wife, Ma

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

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
