Second Chance at Life and Love Chapter 30
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

However, the only thing that came out was a sneeze.“Achoo!”She had been waiting outside for ages, and Tyler was nowhere to be seen. She nearly froze out there.After Tyler brought her into a warm room inside, the sudden environment change made her feel like she was about to catch a cold.Tyler frowned immediately, his expression indiscernible.“You've been freezing out there. I’ll put on the bath for you.”With that, he turned and entered the bathroom.Kelsey lay on the bed and stared blankly at the ceiling above while she took a moment to think. Either way, she had waited long enough; Tyler was finally here, and she had successfully entered his house. Even though she had to pay the price of waiting in the cold all night and risking catching a cold, it was a price she was willing to pay to win over Tyler. She had to convince him that she wanted to be with him.She felt groggy. The combined effect of the liquor she had and the cold was making her dizzy, and she could fall as

She immediately grabbed the lace bra to cover her body and glared at the man who was still staring at her.“Why are you… here?” she stammered as she spoke.“I was just bringing you some hot tea!” Tyler explained with a pout.The entire time, his gaze was still fixed on Kelsey’s naked body. Her skin was fair, smooth, and glowing under the faint light above. Although her arms were across her body, it was not enough to cover her voluptuous figure.Tyler felt as if somebody had set his body on fire and could feel himself burning up. As his Adam's apple bobbed seductively, he felt like a starving wolf eying its prey.Kelsey was taken aback as she did not expect him to show up with hot tea. However, hot tea was the last thing she wanted now.Her cheeks continued to burn while she said, “I don't want it anymore. Please go outside!”However, instead of leaving, Tyler proceeded to strut toward her. He had taken off his suit jacket before that and only had on a royal blue shirt paired w

Suddenly, Tyler lifted Kelsey off her feet and carried her into the bedroom before settling her on the bed.Kelsey's breathing grew rapid again, and her cheeks flushed red against her will. She presumed Tyler had understood her hint and was going to do unspeakable things to her on the bed.Unexpectedly, he turned around and grabbed the remote control from the bedside table before handing it to her.“If you’re not tired, watch some TV!”Then, he got up and headed out.Kelsey's eyes were wide with shock. She could not believe he told her to watch TV just because she said she was not sleepy! That meant he never thought about doing anything to her!Was he going to sleep in the study again tonight and leave her alone on the giant bed?“Tyler!”At that thought, she clenched her fists and shouted at Tyler, who stopped short but did not turn around.Kelsey took a deep breath. She stared at Tyler’s figure from behind and bit down before asking again in a slow drawl, “Do you still want

Kelsey also felt a splitting headache. “Yeah,” she answered weakly, “just a little fever.”She must have caught a cold while waiting for Tyler to come home last night.Tyler reached forward to touch her forehead and said, “I’ll take you to the hospital!”“No need!” Kelsey refused almost instinctively. “Just go to work, and don't worry about me!”Her entire body felt drained, and she did not feel like going anywhere. Soon, she dozed off again.As she drifted in and out of sleep, she could hear Tyler calling his private doctor.“How is she?”After some time, Tyler stood by the bed speaking to Doctor Ramone, the Langs’ family doctor, who was inspecting Kelsey’s condition.He took off his stethoscope and informed dutifully, “It's nothing serious. She just caught a cold. I’ve given her a standard dosage of injection, and here is some medicine. Just make sure she takes them on time, and she will be fine.”Tyler's frown eased upon hearing that.Before leaving, Doctor Ramone gave a

The stalemate held for a while, but Tyler eventually gave in first. With that, he tossed a few pills in his mouth and cupped Kelsey’s face in his cool hands. Then, he leaned in closer toward her lips and pried open her pearly teeth before feeding her the pills. Kelsey forced herself to swallow the pills, which left a faint, bitter taste inside her mouth. Seemingly having noticed that she did not like the bitter taste of the pills, Tyler made a point to suck the bitter taste out of her mouth before pulling away.Kelsey was speechless. Was that it? She was the one who demanded him to feed her the pills with her mouth. Was he not going to do anything after that?She could not have been more direct about what she wanted. Why would he not pin her to the bed for more?“Are you hungry?” After the job was done, Tyler asked in an indifferent voice.“Yes, I’m starving!” Kelsey fixed a look at him and cried out suggestively.However, it seemed Tyler missed the hint.“Let me go downsta

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.

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
