Second Chance at Life and Love Chapter 25
“But I am Tyler’s woman now. Besides, we are engaged. Please leave me alone.” Kelsey’s distant gaze spoke volumes of her intention to cut ties.Cooper was shocked. He reminded her solemnly, “I’m your boyfriend, Kels.” Kelsey’s eyes reflected a cold detachment. “Not anymore.” Cooper widened his eyes in disbelief. “Are you breaking up with me?” Kelsey responded by stepping into the ward and slamming the door shut with a thud. Her answer was pretty clear. She wanted to end things with Cooper and disassociate herself from him. Kelsey no longer wanted to be fooled or used by him anymore. Cooper grimaced from the cold shoulder. He could not believe that Kelsey would split up with him. The nerve of Kelsey to dump him when she slept with Tyler. Cooper had not even gotten back at her for that. Well, Kelsey would not be able to get rid of him that easily. Cooper was not somebody she could dump as she pleased. Turning the doorknob to the ward, Cooper walked in. Kelsey

Kelsey turned to face Cooper. “Are you kicking my mom out of the hospital?” It was more of a statement than a question. Kelsey had a good idea of the type of person Cooper was. Given his behavior, he was capable of using her mother to keep Kelsey in the relationship. “I would never.” Cooper put his arm around her shoulders. “Because you and I are together, our mom can stay as long as she likes.” His words may sound sweet, but it did not change the fact that he was using his mother as leverage. The deceptively soft tone veiled the underlying menace.Kelsey furrowed her brows in resentment and broke free from his embrace. “Leave. I don’t want to see you now,” fighting back the urge to slap him, Kelsey said while turning her back toward him. Cooper’s gaze fell on her. “Kels—” Before he could say anything more, Kelsey shouted angrily, “Get out!” Cooper narrowed his eyes dangerously. It never occurred to him that Kelsey had the nerve to throw a tantrum at him. K

It was a shame Kelsey had seen through Cooper’s manipulation now that she was reborn. Cooper was delusional to think he could use Kelsey against Tyler. … Tyler returned to the Lang family home from the hospital. His grandmother suddenly fell ill, but she was doing well now due to the prompt medical attention. “Mr. Lang is expecting you upstairs, sir,” Callum, the butler, said to Tyler. Tyler nodded and took the stairs to his adoptive father’s study. “You wanted to see me, Dylan?” Tyler opened the door and asked respectfully. Dylan had his back facing Tyler as he stood at a window. The grizzle-haired man, dressed in black, smoked a pipe. Despite his advanced age, the man had a commanding presence. Dylan Lang was Tyler’s adoptive father and uncle. Back in his younger days, Dylan was active in organized crime. He never married or had children. After the death of Tyler’s father, Dylan returned home to inherit the family business. Tyler’s grandparents made the cal

Tyler left the Lang family home on a sour note. After taking a call, Shawn came to report to Tyler, “Mr. Lang, I just received word from the group sent to keep an eye on Ms. Young.” Shawn paused and glanced at Tyler. His glum expression made Shawn hesitant to speak. Tyler looked sternly at him. “What did they say?” Shawn braced himself. “They informed me that Ms. Young met up with Cooper in the hospital.” Tyler grimaced. “Which hospital?” Tyler pressed. Shawn replied, “It’s a hospital owned by the Lyons. I believe Ms. Young’s mother is receiving medical attention there.” Anger flashed in Tyler’s eyes, a dangerous tension radiating from him.Sure enough, Kelsey was still involved with Cooper. Tyler put too much faith in Kelsey once more. He assumed Kelsey would break things off with Cooper since he and Kelsey had connected on an intimate level. It slipped Tyler’s mind that Kelsey’s mother was in Cooper’s hands. There was a lot at stake for Kelsey to separate fr

Yvonne waved her arm. “Don’t be a stranger to me.” Kelsey looked up and asked earnestly, “Did you tell Adam that you are lending me $200,000?”Adam Witham was Yvonne’s husband. He had remarkable grades back in school, but he came from a poor family. Back when Adam and Yvonne were going out, Yvonne would foot the bill for their dates. However, Yvonne loved Adam for who he was and never made a fuss about money. She even supplemented Adam’s living expenses. Yvonne’s parents were against their marriage because of Adam’s upbringing and tasteless behavior. Swept off her feet, Yvonne was hell-bent on marrying Adam. She went as far as to fall out with her parents for Adam. In the end, Adam could not even give her a wedding or a ring. They got married at city hall, starting their married life without a house or a car, which fueled arguments about money.Born into a life of privilege, Yvonne was quite the big spender. To make Adam happy, Yvonne changed her splurging ways

Kelsey pressed her lips together. “I don’t intend to ask for his help or borrow his money.” She wanted to be an equal partner to Tyler instead of depending on him for every little thing. Her issue with her mother was her own to solve.“But where are you going to get several million dollars from? Who would help you? Your dad?” Yvonne grilled. Kelsey needed money to transfer her mother to another hospital for treatment. It was a costly affair too. As Hailey was in a coma, the bill rang high for the drugs, nursing care, recovery, and so on. The $200,000 from Yvonne only covered a small fraction of the cost. The charge for the hospital transfer and best care would be a million dollars, at the minimum. Kelsey’s gaze was dark and deep. “I have not thought that far, but I know I can’t count on my father.” Charlie was preoccupied with remarrying his old flame. Megan and Josephine had him wrapped around their little finger, so the last thing on Charlie’s mind was Hailey. Fra

Despite that, the media interpreted it as him tacitly agreeing to break off the engagement, making them suspect he was dissatisfied with taking Kelsey Young as his fiancée.The media had always liked reporting baseless gossip about wealthy households. Furthermore, the marriage between the Youngs and the Langs was a popular subject. Therefore, the news attracted a lot of attention.A few ladies near Kelsey applauded the moment they saw the news broadcast on the screen at the square.“Mr. Lang finally saw reason and called off his engagement with that girl from the Youngs! I told you that this Kelsey girl doesn’t deserve to be with someone as excellent as him!”The other girls expressed the same sentiment.Kelsey looked up at the news broadcast on the giant advertising screen and found herself frowning.Yvonne, who was with her, seemed taken aback too, “Kelsey, why did the Langs suddenly announce they’re breaking off the engagement? Didn’t you say you were going to be with Tyler?”

Kelsey had never recalled her past with Tyler in such detail. Looking back, she realized how long they had been tangled in this mess together.Over the years, the only thing she had absolute confidence in was that Tyler loved her. Yet, now that she had decided to accept him and start anew, why would he suddenly choose to give up?Why did he publicly announce that he was breaking off the engagement with her? Had he become so thoroughly disappointed with her that he decided to find a new lover?The more Kelsey thought about it, the sadder she became. Her emotions were especially intensified since she had been drinking that night.A gust of wind blew past, and she shuddered from the cold. She lowered her head and huddled up. After some time, her heavy eyelids began to droop… When Tyler returned to Hampville, he noticed Kelsey’s figure from a distance. The light-yellow dress on her was particularly eye-catching under the streetlight.Her curly hair was all messed up from the wind, a

Seeing how much thought Tyler put into her birthday, Susan felt confident that Kelsey was in good hands. Kelsey was lucky to marry a man like Tyler. The family was blessed to have Tyler. “All that matters is that you’re happy.” Tyler tended to Susan’s needs with respect. “I haven’t been this happy in a long time.” Susan nodded with a delightful smile. Kelsey could tell that Susan was a lot happier today. Susan had been feeling hurt since Charlie sent her to live in a nursing home. She felt like Charlie prioritized his side piece over his mother. It had been a while since Susan smiled again.The smile on Susan’s face was infectious. Kelsey’s face beamed. Tyler smiled along too. The lounge was filled with laughter and joy. After lunch, Tyler drove Kelsey and Susan to the nursing home. Susan, being elderly, fell asleep in the car. Tyler carried Susan back to her room in the nursing home. Kelsey could see how much Tyler cared about Susan. Tyler had to leave d

“Please… Save my baby…” With Steve walking away, Megan pinned her hope on the restaurant staff. The restaurant manager and staff had witnessed Megan insulting Tyler and Kelsey. They would not risk upsetting Tyler by helping her. The restaurant staff looked the other way and went back to their own business. Megan held her belly as resentment consumed her. Tyler’s support was the only thing helping Kelsey to take Megan down. Otherwise, Megan would still be living her life. First, Charlie threw her out. Even Steve left her. Steven beat her up, causing her to lose her baby. Megan blamed everything on Kelsey. She would make Kelsey pay. Megan vowed to get her revenge. Losing her willpower to the pain, Megan lost consciousness. It was a kind female patron who called the emergency line for Megan. …Kelsey helped Susan into the lounge on the top floor. The place was definitely remarkable. The interior was lavishly appointed, with each piece of furniture carefully

Steve mounted Megan and punched her face left and right. Megan would hurl abuse at him at first, but her tirade quickly turned into pleading. Steve smacked Megan over two dozen times, only stopping when Megan lay limp on the floor. He turned to Tyler, his grimacing face replaced with ingratiation. “I have taught the bitch a lesson, Mr. Lang.” Stoic-faced, Tyler did not spare a glance at Steve. Steve was irrelevant to Tyler. Tyler took strides to Kelsey and grabbed her hands. He murmured in her ear, “Do you feel better now?” Kelsey looked back at Megan’s swollen face and curled her lips. “She’s not worth my time anyway.” The constant struggles with Charlie and Megan over the years had hardened Kelsey emotionally.Megan’s verbal abuse was like water off a duck’s back. Besides, Charlie had kicked Megan out of the house. Megan’s words were nothing more than a desperate cry now. Steve was no better than Charlie, and Megan had it coming. Despite his age, Steve went

Megan widened her eyes in disbelief at Steve. “D-Did you just hit me?” The last thing Megan expected was Steve to attack her. She thought she had compromised enough by dating a man so much older.Steve had been spoiling her rotten lately, giving her everything she wanted. Megan had gotten a big head. She thought she had Steve in the bag. Yet, to her dismay, Steve assaulted her. “Bitch!” Steve made a face of disgust. “Why did you slander Ms. Young?” In Steve’s opinion, Megan was more trouble than she was worth. Steve had gone to great lengths to curry favor with Tyler. Megan had gone and insulted Tyler’s woman right in his face. To make matters worse, Steve was caught up in the mess too. Steve regretted spoiling Megan, and she had gone in over her head. Megan’s eyes welled up. “Steve…” Her lips quivered as she looked at Steve with a hurt expression. Paying her no mind, Steve was occupied with ideas to please Tyler. “She’s just an escort to me, Mr. La

Steve felt embarrassed. He had been wanting to make Tyler’s acquaintance, but a chance to meet him was hard to come by. Now that he ran into Tyler, Steve was determined to make the most out of it. “Let me be a host to you today, Mr. Lang—” Megan cut Steve off. “Mr. Lang, you might not know this, but Kelsey’s father is facing bankruptcy. He’s deep in debt too. Kelsey and her father are just going to be your burden. Don’t let Kelsey’s seemingly innocence fool you. They are just going to leech off you. My daughter, Josephine, is a nice and sensible girl. She’s a better companion than Kelsey. I’ll be delighted to introduce you to her.” Kelsey was impressed with Megan. Even now, Megan had not given up on pushing Josephine into Tyler’s arms. In Kelsey’s past life, Megan went to lengths to matchmake Josephine and Tyler. Nevertheless, Tyler never took an interest in Josephine. Megan was just as delusional as ever. However, Kelsey had no idea that Charlie owed a lot of mon

“She’s just a bitch.” Megan hissed through clenched teeth, her jealousy showing. She had a hunch. The sudden change in the manager’s attitude toward Kelsey was likely due to Tyler. Megan wished she had Kelsey’s luck to meet a good-looking and rich man. Steve did not believe Megan. If Kelsey was just an ordinary woman, the manager would not take her up to the exclusive top floor. That was a height Steve could never reach despite a lifetime of hard work. However, Kelsey had no plans to accept the manager’s invitation to dine on the top floor. Since Charlie would not be attending or taking Susan out of the nursing home, Kelsey had no reason to dine alone on the top floor. Kelsey was better off getting back to her new office and ordering a takeout. Her discussion with Rosette about the costume design for Adrienne’s new film would continue this afternoon.However, the manager stopped her from leaving and apologized to her frantically. “Please see it in your heart not to

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
