Yvonne's mother-in-law did not treat her as a family member, she hardly saw her as a human being at all.Despite knowing that Yvonne had just gone through a miscarriage and was still in recovery, she still bossed her around.Yvonne lowered the look in her eyes and grew morose. “I’m used to it!”What else could she do about it?She had the misfortune of marrying a mama's boy like Adam, she had to endure the evil mother-in-law for the rest of her life.Kelsey frowned. “You can’t keep putting up with this for the rest of your life, can you? She has been treating you like this since you had the miscarriage!”Yvonne wiped her tears and vented, “She always says that I’m useless because I miscarried and doubted me when I said I needed to recover. She kept demanding that I do household chores and would complain that I was lazing at home, and that I should be working and making money instead. She goes on and on about how Adam has to support the house financially and that I am a freeloader
“Don't worry about him, he won't have any objections.” Kelsey assured her with a smile.Even though she had a minor conflict with Tyler before leaving home just now, she was sure something so minor would not affect their relationship.Tyler would not object to her bringing Yvonne back to their house for several days.Yvonne hesitated again, she could not shake off her concern. “Why don't you call Tyler and consult him first?”After all, having her move into the house was sure to disturb the couple who needed some privacy.Besides, it was not Kelsey’s home by right. Tyler was the rightful owner. He was the man of the house.Kelsey realized that there was no way to convince Yvonne unless Tyler gave the green light.With that, she reached for her phone. “Sure, I'll call him now.”Inside the Lang Group’s president’s office.Tyler had been brooding over something all day long, his expression was grim.All employees who entered his office to consult him received a stern talking to
Yvonne opened the door to a tall and handsome man dressed in a suit standing outside. The faint corridor light further accentuated his features. It could only be Tyler.Even Yvonne felt a little flustered upon meeting him, and then she greeted him shyly, “Tyler!”Tyler glanced at Yvonne and seemed hardly surprised that she was in his house since Kelsey had notified him beforehand.However, he did observe that Yvonne was far thinner than he remembered.It must be because of the miscarriage after the accident.This explained why Kelsey wanted Yvonne to stay with them.Tyler greeted her with a polite nod before asking, “Where is Kelsey?”Yvonne replied, “She’s cooking in the kitchen with Anna, I…”“Get some more rest, I’ll help them in the kitchen.”Tyler’s demeanor was gentlemanly as ever. After he changed his shoes, he went straight to the kitchen.“Welcome home, Mr. Lang!”Anna immediately greeted him respectfully upon meeting him.Kelsey was cooking when she heard Anna’s v
The better half of the day had passed since Yvonne ran away from home.She had just had a miscarriage and was recovering from it.Adam must have returned home from work by this point and realized she was missing from home.Did he not care about her at all?Perhaps it was his mother who had swayed him into ignoring her.Adam would never do this back in the past, that was before she got pregnant.Even if she was gone from the house for a few hours, he would worry frantically about her.That was when she could still feel his deep concern for her.Now, things had changed.She had a miscarriage.The baby was gone.Since then, Adam had been ignoring her.Yvonne was crushed with disappointment.Yet, she was hesitant to let it show because she did not want to worry Kelsey.She shouldered the burden all by herself.“Yvonne, what are you thinking about?”Kelsey observed the way Yvonne was sulking on the couch and the blank expression on her face when she stared at her phone. She
“Bang!” “Argh!” A gunshot ripped through the night, followed by a woman’s chilling scream.Kelsey Young’s eyes widened in disbelief as a man stood before her, shielding her from harm. “Tyler, why did you—” Why was he the one who came to save her? Kelsey had always seen Tyler Lang as the enemy. Revenge was the only thing keeping her by his side. She was determined to bring down the Langs. Yet now, Tyler took a bullet for her. “Run!” Gritting through the pain, Tyler hissed.However, another shot rang out. Kelsey watched him take another bullet to the back. The air was thick with the stench of blood. That was when Cooper Lyon surrounded them with a dozen men in black. “I bet you didn’t see this coming, Tyler.” Cooper sneered with a gun pointed at Kelsey and Tyler. Tyler’s emotionless eyes met Cooper’s. “Let Kels go.” Cooper curled his lips mockingly. “You are in no position to make demands.” Kelsey could not believe her eyes. “Um… Cooper. What’s going o
It was Tyler. The heart-stopping face and sculpted physique belonged to Abervale’s most powerful and good-looking man. Tyler was once Kelsey’s fiancé and the man who risked his life to save hers. To think she had a second chance in life, and the person she opened her eyes to was him. Kelsey stared straight at the man before her, emotions sweeping through her. “Fancy another go?” Tyler’s amused voice interrupted her thoughts. His imposing figure loomed close, his gaze drilling into hers. Kelsey then noticed that he was unclothed. She appeared to be in her birthday suit too. “Ah!” She exclaimed. It dawned on her that they just had their first intimacy. She had traveled back in time to when they first slept together. Tight muscles rippled across his bare, sun-kissed chest which now bore traces of last night’s passion. She left those scratches on him last night amid her struggle. “What’s that supposed to mean? Didn’t you see me with nothing on last night?” Lo
With lightning reflexes, Tyler held the elevator door before the closing mechanism clamped shut on Kelsey’s arm. His gesture gave Kelsey renewed hope. She knew he still cared about her. In her last life, Tyler was the devil incarnate to the public, but he always had a soft spot for her. “What do you want, Kelsey?” Pinning her against the elevator wall, Tyler questioned brutally. He had already given her what she wanted and promised to stay away. Apparently, that was not enough. Tyler wondered what it would take to finally please her.Kelsey looked up and took in his furious grimace, his teeth bare and gritted. She asked, “Do you want to marry me?” Tyler was taken aback at first, but his flawless face soon scowled. The damn woman knew exactly what buttons to push. “It’s my birthday next month,” without much explanation to offer, Kelsey merely looked at him and said. “If you want to marry me, pop the question at my birthday party.” Tyler’s eyes lit up, but the sp
“I’ll… kill Cooper!” Bloodthirst fleeted across Tyler’s eyes. To his surprise, Kelsey simply shrugged nonchalantly. “Then kill him.” In her last life, Cooper lied, manipulated, and finally brutally murdered her. Cooper was horrifically heartless. Kelsey could not wait to tear the brutal man apart with her bare hands. Tyler narrowed his eyes in disbelief. “What did you say?” Kelsey replied aloofly, “Go ahead and kill him. Don’t let me be the reason you hold back.” If personal revenge was not the ultimate goal, she would unleash Tyler on Cooper right that instance. Tyler’s gaze fixed on her indifferent face. His thoughts were once again confirmed that Kelsey was different than before. … Tyler’s Rolls Royce pulled up outside the Youngs’ residence. “Bye now.” Kelsey glanced out the car window, ready to get off. As her hand reached for the door handle, Tyler grabbed her by the wrist. Before Kelsey knew it, Tyler held her down on the cushion of the back seat.
