Josephine was strongly against going abroad.Her mother had been kicked out of the house by Charlie. If she left as well, no one else would be around to fix the situation and defend her mother.It would be very difficult for her mother to return to the Youngs.Besides, she was worried about Cooper. She always had a lurking suspicion that Cooper would find a new lover if she was gone.Charlie frowned and told her off, “This month, you will sit tight and stay home. Pack your belongings for your overseas study next month. You are not allowed to go anywhere else!”“Dad…” Josephine bit her lip and held back tears.If it was in the past, Megan would have stepped in and defended her, she would have pleaded her case to Charlie.Without Megan serving as a mediator, there was no longer anyone who could get him to budge from his position.It seemed like he was very determined to send Josephine abroad next month. There was nothing that could change his mind at this point.Needless to say,
After Charlie left, Kelsey was on her own. She could not figure out what it was all about.She knew Tyler was not someone who would fold so easily. How was it that Charlie managed to get him to cave in and give him the money demanded?“Sis, you want to know how Dad got the money from your husband, do you?”Josephine's voice suddenly came from behind.Kelsey turned around and was greeted by the sight of Josephine walking toward her with a coy smile.“Why are you here? Dad told you to go back to your room, didn’t he? Have you been hiding and eavesdropping on us?” Kelsey regarded her with a menacing look.Josephine cocked a look at her and brushed it off. “Don't worry about whether I eavesdropped on you or not. Point being, I have all the answers you have been searching for…”Kelsey shot her a look. “What do you want from me?”She knew Josephine would not show up if she did not have a reason to. Josephine must have the answers that she could not manage to pry from both Tyler and C
It was truly remarkable.There was no way Josephine’s hideous schemes could escape Kelsey!“Kelsey, I am your sister. Even if we don’t share the same mother, we are still connected because we have the same father. Have you forgotten that blood runs thicker than water? Why should we turn against each other because of a man?” Josephine refused to let Kelsey go and tried to further her case while begging for forgiveness.Kelsey found the entire thing beyond ridiculous.Josephine was her half-sister who had slept with the man whom she was previously head over heels in love with.Yet, here was Josephine begging for her forgiveness.Imagine if their positions were reversed.If Kelsey was the one who slept with the man Josephine loved, she was sure Josephine would have had her killed instead of wasting time bickering over it.How could Josephine have the audacity to come to her and plead when she was the one who had slept with Cooper? What was with this fake show of sincerity?Did sh
Kelsey's pupils shrank.How did Tyler turn into this state?It was just as Dannielle said.Tyler had been worried sick for her.He spread his arms out wide and took her into his arms effortlessly.“I’m sorry for making you suffer so much over the last two days.” He apologized sincerely to her.Kelsey shook her head and assured him. “What do you mean suffer? You got me out of there! If anything, you’re the one who suffered, look how frail you are now.”Other than the first day when she had it rather rough, nobody harassed her anymore after Tyler showed up.Then, she pulled herself out of his arms and gently caressed his grizzled beard with the tips of her soft fingers. A trace of hurt shone in her eyes.“Anything is worth it as long as it’s for you,” Tyler said while gently taking her hands into his. There was an indescribably soft look in his eyes.Kelsey glanced at Anna who had been looking on silently the entire time. She suddenly became embarrassed and turned to Tyler. “Co
Tyler knew what Kelsey was going to say and was one step ahead of her when he assured her with a solemn glow in his eyes.“Thank you!”Kelsey was beyond grateful.She was glad she had Tyler on her side.If it were not for Tyler, Zara’s plans would have worked and she would have been ruined.Tyler had done so much for her.She knew that Tyler was caught in a difficult position between her and his uncle.She did not want to make things any harder for him at this point.“Since even the police can't do anything about this, we shouldn’t keep forcing the issue. I’m sure that in a matter of time, she will get what’s coming to her. Justice will get her one way or another,” she said with a stark look at Tyler.She did not want Tyler to stand up for her again and risk offending his uncle.She would find some way to settle the score with Zara for hurting her and Yvonne this time around.Either way, Kelsey did not want Tyler to get involved in any of this again. She did not want him to
Kelsey subconsciously tightened the collar around her neck when she felt his gaze.However, Tyler suddenly reached forward again and pulled her into him.Kelsey did a double take, then she began to get flustered and wriggled in his arms.Tyler grabbed her by her jaw and kissed her without pause.He was all over her and stuck his tongue inside as if he wanted to consume her.Kelsey could taste his familiar scent in her mouth, it was an intoxicating feeling.She had to admit she missed this feeling.Tyler would not pull away.His stubble would prickle against her soft skin whenever he moved.Kelsey felt all of her senses slowly numbing.Meanwhile, her body temperature was soaring.Tyler’s expression slowly darkened. Soon, a sheet of gloom came upon his expression.His breath burned upon her skin and for some reason, made her heart skip several beats.Kelsey’s limbs gave away. She melted into Tyler who grabbed her firmly by her waist as if he was claiming her.Then, he pinne
However, Kelsey felt like she could not get much sleep at all. Her sleep was plagued by dreams.Constant nightmares.When she opened her eyes, it was already the next morning.She spent the whole night being tormented by nightmares and ended up feeling more tired by the time she woke up.The curtains in the bedroom were drawn tightly. Tyler was nowhere to be seen.She endured the cramping pain all over and got up to part the curtains.With the curtains drawn open, she spotted Tyler standing on the balcony and talking on the phone.He was dressed in a set of plain dark clothes and trousers. His figure was as striking as ever.Kelsey stood still and watched him quietly.After staring at him for a while, Tyler seemed to sense her presence and turned around to face her.The moment he saw Kelsey's complexion, he felt his heart jerk.Then, he went back to the bedroom and approached Kelsey.He took her tightly into his arms.“You’re awake.”When he spoke, he sent hot wafts of ai
“Hello? Are you Kelsey?”Yvonne’s mother-in-law, Agatha hissed sharply into the phone.Kelsey frowned on instinct. “That’s me. Do you need something from me?”“Of course I do!”Agatha’s voice came out like a screech, it was also laced with spite. “You were the one who hurt Yvonne and caused her miscarriage. How are you going to make up for it?”“Mom, what are you talking about? I have been telling you that Kelsey is not…” Yvonne was frantically pleading to get her phone back.Agatha brutally shoved her away. “Shut your mouth!”Kelsey immediately grimaced the moment she heard how the exchange had gone down.In the past, Yvonne would frequently rant to her about how her mother-in-law had been mistreating her.She was distraught that Yvonne’s mother-in-law would treat Yvonne with such hostility.Yvonne had just gone through an accident and a miscarriage, she must still be in recovery.It was completely unruly to do this to Yvonne.“How do you plan to settle this?” Kelsey asked
