Second Chance at Life and Love Chapter 32
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
Second Chance at Life and Love Chapter 38
Kelsey blinked in confusion. “What are you doing?”Tyler made a face. “I’m feeding you!”“I’m not disabled!” Kelsey objected on instinct.“But you’re sick!” Tyler stated sternly.Kelsey pouted. “I’m sick, but I can still use my hands!” A trace of concern flashed across Tyler’s face. “Still, you’re sick!”Silence took over. It was unbelievable to think they would be at a statement over a spoonful of soup!Kelsey turned away and ignored him.Tyler gently prompted her, “It’s going to get cold if you don't eat.”When Kelsey continued to ignore him, Tyler teased her with a look. “Well, what if I finish it?”Kelsey thought about it for a second and decided that she could not suffer being hungry. Hence, she turned around and opened her mouth.“Be good…” Tyler coaxed her as though he was coaxing a child.With that, Kelsey allowed him to spoon-feed her one spoonful of soup after another. The fact that he was willing to take care of her filled her heart with warmth.After Tyler had

“Get some sleep. The doctor mentioned your body is frail, so you have to get more rest!”It sounded as if Tyler did not want to listen to Kelsey coming up with more justifications and lying to him. By then, he had grabbed the empty bowl and left.Kelsey stared at him as he left. Her lips parted a few times as she made to speak, but she simply did not know what to say.She understood that she had not much credibility to speak of. Words meant nothing, and the only thing to prove herself was through her actions.However, when Tyler was at the door, he suddenly stopped.He addressed Kelsey in a low yet gentle voice without turning back to face her, “Next time, you can just come right over if you want to see me. The password is your birthday. Just make sure you don’t freeze out there again!”Kelsey, who was feeling morose only seconds ago, suddenly perked up again.“Okay!” Her eyes lit up as she nodded.She supposed she could take Tyler’s statement to mean she could come over anytim

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
