Second Chance at Life and Love Chapter 314
Tyler did not give Kelsey a straight answer. Instead, he lowered his head and sealed her lips. He engaged in a deep, lingering kiss. Tyler did not give Kelsey a chance to get mad and drill him with questions. Kelsey was left gasping in a daze from the kiss. She could not focus on the question long enough to grill him. … Kelsey stayed put in Tyler’s place for the next few days to help with the injury to her ankle. Since the argument over Charlie, Kelsey and Tyler avoided the subject altogether. Tyler moved most of his work home which freed up his time to care for Kelsey. Then came the after-party of Runway Revolution. There had always been an after-party once the annual Runway Revolution came to an end. The party was thrown in honor of the winners and to serve as a platform for participants to socialize. Many business and political figures were among the attendees. The organizer had the party in line once the curtains were drawn for Runway Revolution.The w

Kelsey made history on Runway Revolution by winning the runner-up and the most popular award. The dejection was visible in Kelsey’s eyes. “I wasn’t the winner.” Though she was able to make a mark in the competition, it was a shame that she did not bring home the crown. She lost to Cerys, who had Zara’s support. More infuriatingly, Cerys won Runway Revolution by stealing Kelsey’s design. Heck, Kelsey took a tumble because of Cerys too. Tyler drew close with a dropped head, took her hand, and said, “You’re the only winner in my eyes.”Kelsey felt touched by emotions. In that case, Kelsey could not be bothered to change out of the gown she was wearing. Cerys’ victory was merely a fraud. Kelsey did not have to dress down for Cerys’ sake. Besides, Cerys pushed Kelsey down the stage in fear she would steal her thunder when the latter did nothing at all.All Kelsey needed to do was be herself. What was hers would be hers. “You look gorgeous, Ms. Young,” Anna complime

The reception was filled with the soothing sounds of the violin. Kelsey entered the venue, her arm linked to Tyler’s. The pretty pair were a real head-turner. Several leaders of the organizing committee and influential figures from politics and business flocked to greet Kelsey and Tyler. Cerys and James were brushed off to the side. The winner of Runway Revolution was Cerys. Yet, all the attention was on Kelsey. Not only did Kelsey win two awards, but she came with Tyler too. These people were no fools. Kelsey clearly had more to offer than Cerys. Kelsey kept Tyler company as he socialized with the crowd. Malice seemed to follow Kelsey around, though. “What’s the matter?” Reading Kelsey’s discomfort, Tyler put his hand over hers and held her tight. Kelsey glanced at a grimacing Cerys from the corner of her eye and shook her head. “I’m fine.” Tyler followed Kelsey’s line of vision. He narrowed his eyes dangerously. It was one intimidating look. Cerys looked a

A rumor somehow started during the party. Apparently, Kelsey won second place at Runway Revolution thanks to Tyler’s influence. Kelsey frowned. That was the very thing she tried to avoid. Hence why she signed up for Runway Revolution without letting Tyler know. Besides, Kelsey was Tyler’s legal wife. She did not sleep with him to get ahead in the competition. Tyler returned with barbecue meat on his plate. The grilled meat was packed with flavor, topped with a zesty, spicy sauce.Tyler cut the meat into pieces and handed one to her on a fork. “Do you want it? It’s hot.” Kelsey took a bite and chewed spitefully. The chatter at the next table put Kelsey in a foul moodAs she munched, she quickly realized something was off. “Why is it so spicy?” She could breathe fire. The touch of heat on the grilled meat should not be so spicy. Kelsey was wrong. The aftertaste was quite a kick. Tyler poured a drink for Kelsey. His side profile really featured his flawles

Zara quickly put a stop to the mayhem. “Who are you? Do you know where we are? We are at the after-party of Runway Revolution. I can call the cops on you for causing a scene and assault!” Her intention was to scare Rhea off. However, Rhea was not buying it. “Fine. Call the cops. Let them be the judge. They can take this mistress away.” Rhea shoved Zara away and charged toward Cerys to slap her again. “How dare you hit on my husband! “You have the nerve!” Her assault and insults attracted everybody’s attention at the party. Now the truth was out about the gold digger. A murmur of gossip began to spread through the crowd.“Turns out, Cerys, the winner, is the homewrecker! I can’t believe it. Why would a talented young lady get involved with a married man?” “I thought the one pulling strings was Kelsey, the runner-up.” “I think we got the wrong idea about Kelsey. The real gold digger was Cerys. I sure couldn’t tell. The wife caught her.” The crowd mocked and sne

The people at the party became judgmental of Rhea, Cerys, and James. A member of the organizing committee had to step forward to smooth things over. “Please settle your differences with Ms. Wright in private, ma’am. Don’t bring your personal affairs to the after-party of Runway Revolution.” “I’m not here just to settle differences!” Raising a brow, Rhea snapped an angry look at Cerys, who was in James’ arms. “I want to blow the whistle on this homewrecker. She’s a half-ass designer. She only won the competition through plagiarism.” Rhea’s words caused quite a stir among the crowd. Despite Cerys’ character, her talent was widely recognized. It came as a shock to everyone when her winning design was found to be plagiarized.“What are you talking about? Security! Take her away now!” Zara urged the security officers. The member of the organizing committee glanced at Tyler before stopping the security officers. “Hang on. Let her finish.” Cerys’ heart sank. She shuddered.

Rhea came prepared. She shot a malicious look at Cerys, who was in James’ arms, and opened her mouth to speak. Cerys went ahead and talked before Rhea, “You sure are willing to go to lengths to break us up.” Her accusation and tearful eyes made her a convincing victim. Cerys was in the dark about the nature of evidence Rhea had. Still, her best option was to stop Rhea from producing the evidence just in case. Cerys skillfully turned the conversation on Rhea. To the naked eye, it looked as though Rhea caused a scene to split her husband and his mistress up. Even if Rhea could produce condemning evidence, she would lose credibility. Everybody would be fixated on Rhea’s motive. Since everybody assumed Rhea was merely trying to expose her husband’s affair, there was no telling whether the proof was genuine. Rhea glanced at Cerys before approaching the member of the organizing committee and whispering something in his ear. The committee member made a face and questi

The crowd immediately erupted into a frenzy of whispers.The way they looked at Cerys instantly shifted.“I thought she made it on her own merits! Turns out she climbed her way up by sleeping with men!”“Stealing other people’s work and going after a married man? Her character is absolutely terrible!”Panicked, Cerys cried out, “No! That's not true! Don’t believe her lies! This evidence is fake! She fabricated it to slander me!”Unfortunately, no one seemed to believe her.“Ms. Quest, please say something for me!” Cerys frantically turned to Zara for help.However, seeing the situation, Zara realized she could no longer save Cerys from the trouble.Since she was now a lost cause, it was better to cut ties with her.This was necessary to avoid bringing harm to both herself and the Quests.Zara’s face turned stern. With a look of disappointment, she reprimanded Cerys. “Ms. Wright, I initially thought you were incredibly talented, which is why I signed you on with such a generou

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

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
