Kelsey drew her hand away from Tyler and said, “It’s fine, let me try walking by myself.”Tyler hesitated for a moment before obliging with a brief nod. “Alright, I’m right behind you so just tell me if you need my help.”With that, he carefully released his firm grip around Kelsey’s hand.Kelsey tried to get a firm hold of her center of gravity and after ensuring that she could remain balanced, she tried to step forward.She was exceedingly cautious with the first step she took.Although her injured ankle was giving her some trouble, she finally managed to take a step forward.“How is it? Are you okay?” Tyler trailed closely behind her and seemed gentler than ever. “Yeah.” Kelsey nodded briefly before pressing onward.Tyler continued to trail behind her, ready to protect her at any moment. After Kelsey managed a few steps, her anxiousness slowly subsided.She grew bolder and her steps became more confident. “I have sent one of my men to retrieve the surveillance footag
Not only was Kelsey not repulsed by his scent, but she even welcomed it. She adored it.She missed his scent.Tyler had not shaved for a few days. She could feel the harsh texture of his short stubble brushing against her tender skin.She tried to push against his shoulder but he would not budge.Her breath was taken away by him, her body was also…Soon, her body temperature began to surge sky-high.Her heartbeat accelerated.It took a long time before Tyler reluctantly drew away.He gently caressed her hair with affection in his eyes. “I missed you.”Kelsey seemed to do a double take, her blush deepened.“You haven't answered my question yet,” Tyler leaned over closer and whispered in her ears.Kelsey opened her mouth and made to speak, her lashes shook.Tyler lowered himself and gently nibbled on her earlobe. “Are you not going to answer? Do you want me to kiss you again?”Kelsey drew a sharp breath before crying out, “I miss you too!”Suddenly, it was as if two candles
“You wanted to sleep, didn't you? I'll sleep with you!”Tyler rested his chin against the top of Kelsey’s head and gently pecked a kiss on her hair.Kelsey squirmed instinctively.“Give me some space, I can’t breathe.”She could not handle the intention behind his approach.“Alright!” Tyler surprisingly obliged and loosened his grip ever so slightly.Kelsey was just about to heave a sigh of relief when she felt his hand reaching underneath her clothes.In an instant, an intent look glowed inside Tyler's eyes.“Kels, I have been missing you every day during my business trip,” he declared while puffing hot wafts of air into Kelsey’s ear.Her ears are the most sensitive part of her body.Her cheeks flushed with red in an instant, she felt like she was going to melt.“Stop it…” She protested weakly.Tyler's Adam's apple bobbed up and down. “Are you shy?”Kelsey pouted and grumbled, “What if Anna hears us? She’s downstairs!”They were not the only ones in the house.“What are
“My dear daughter, how have you been lately?”Kelsey had to do a double take.It felt like the last time Charlie addressed her so affectionately was eons ago.Ever since her mother's car accident, Charlie had brought his mistress and her daughter into the house to replace Kelsey’s mother. He had been completely neglectful, sometimes even cruel toward Kelsey.By this point, there was no way to redeem her relationship with her father anymore.Now, Charlie was taking the time to call her. His entire attitude and tone was a complete 180 shift from the past. It threw Kelsey for a loop and made her doubt her hearing.She had to check the phone number several times to make sure that the person calling was truly her father, not someone else.“Do you need something?” she asked hesitantly.She had enough sense to realize that even if Charlie had kicked Megan out of the house and decided to send Josephine abroad to study, it did not necessarily mean that their relationship would be restor
Kelsey frowned. “My dad just called.”Tyler narrowed his eyes and gently took her cold hands into his. “Did you get into another fight with him?”He was aware that Kelsey did not have a good relationship with her father and that they often quarreled.Charlie seemed to have never cared about Kelsey’s feelings.Kelsey grumbled, “Don’t bring up his name!”Tyler could tell she was not interested in prolonging the discussion and wisely let it drop.“Are you hungry? Let's go downstairs for dinner,” he gently stroked her hair and whispered in a tender voice.Kelsey nodded silently.Tyler carried her in his arms and took her to the dining table downstairs....Tyler and several senior executives in his company were just walking out of the private elevator when they bumped into Charlie. He was in the lobby making a fuss about wanting to meet Tyler.“Let me go, do you know who I am? I am your president’s father-in-law!” he bellowed angrily.The security guards were skeptical of his c
What sort of relationship did the old man have with their boss?Why would the boss tolerate his nonsense at all?After Tyler took Charlie to his office, he instructed his secretary to make a cup of coffee with the highest-grade coffee beans.“Uncle, did you need something from me?” he asked politely.As soon as Charlie entered the office, the luxurious and expensive-looking decoration was the first thing that caught his eye.The Langs were certainly a wealthy household. Tyler's office was much more spacious and luxuriously decorated than his.Although Charlie was admittedly not fond of Kelsey, he highly approved of the husband she ended up finding.Otherwise, he would not have sent Megan and Josephine packing.After discovering Megan cheating on him, he saw it as the perfect opportunity to drive Megan and Josephine out of the picture.With that, he could focus on taking advantage of his son-in-law."Uncle?” Tyler called out again when he noted the way Charlie was silent.C
Tyler frowned. “Do you only see Kelsey as a sort of bartering piece to be exchanged for money?”He was not a fool. He understood what Charlie was trying to insinuate.To put it bluntly, Charlie wanted money.For this part, Tyler had plenty of money to offer Charlie.However, he was not pleased with Charlie’s mindset that he was entitled to be paid just because he had wedded Kelsey. Kelsey was not an item put on the market.As far as he was concerned, Kelsey was priceless.She was not some sort of object he could purchase with money.“You married my daughter, the daughter I had a part in giving birth to and raised for so many years. Shouldn’t I as a father get something in return?” Charlie immediately dialed up his aggression because he was worried Tyler was going to shirk away from his obligation.He knew that rich people tend to be more tight-fisted with their money.This entire time, he was sure that he could get a big haul out of Kelsey marrying Tyler.To his surprise, Tyl
Although Tyler was the son of a rich family, he should obey Charlie because he was his father-in-law.A deep and dark look appeared in Tyler’s eyes. “I will give you five hundred million dollars if Kelsey forgives you. Once you fix your relationship with her, I won’t just give you the money. I'll give you a couple more villas that a proper father-in-law deserves.”“You…” Charlie was choked up with anger and his eyes gradually widened as well. It took him a long time to put his words together.He knew he had not been a good father to Kelsey. Regardless, he deemed that it was not enough to justify Tyler not fulfilling his duties as a son-in-law.Fortunately, he came prepared.“You should take a look at this first before deciding if you’re going to give me the money!”He glowered before grabbing a stack of documents from his bag and tossing it in front of Tyler.“What is this?” A trace of suspicion flashed across Tyler’s eyes.Charlie smiled smugly. “You'll know once you open it!”
