“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
Yet, the wretched pair of mother and son had been imposing themselves on Yvonne, making her feel as if she was the one in the wrong!Tyler listened silently the entire time.It was only now that he realized how difficult things had been for Yvonne.This explained why Kelsey wanted her to move in with them.He was never fond of having outsiders moving into the house to disrupt his private time with Kelsey.He only made an exception since it was Kelsey’s best friend.By this point, Kelsey and Tyler had been staying with Yvonne until it was nearly midnight, and yet, there were no phone calls from Adam.Yvonne smiled bitterly. “Looks like those two are determined to make a statement this time!”She was sure Agatha had gone to Adam to complain about her, and swayed his opinion of her.Adam was going to punish her for the sake of his mother.“You can stay here as long as you want, forget about them.” Kelsey suggested kindly.Yvonne had a miscarriage and was still in recovery. Desp
“I…”Kelsey was just about to tell Tyler that she would not join him when Yvonne shoved her out of the room.“Kels, you should go and sleep with Tyler, I’ll be fine by myself.” Yvonne insisted repeatedly.She could not let her broken marriage drive a rift between Kelsey and Tyler.They had been kind enough to take her in.Kelsey did not want to drag out the issue. With a faint nod, she said goodnight to Yvonne before returning to her bedroom.Tyler was lying on his side on the bed with his eyes closed and was waiting for her.He had just taken a shower and was tightly wrapped in a large robe.The belt of the robe was tied loosely. The fabric draped across his body, revealing the outline of his chiseled chest.He was like a marbled statue and seemed very seductive.Kelsey drew toward him.She assumed he had fallen asleep and carefully lightened her footsteps.Just as she drew closer to the bed, Tyler suddenly opened his eyes.He stared intently into her eyes while drawing a
Tyler would be able to settle the problem with relative ease if he stepped in.He could guarantee that Yvonne's mother-in-law and husband would never pick on her again.“Don't worry about it for now!” Kelsey turned down the offer.As things stood, she wanted to gauge how Adam would respond in such a situation.If Tyler intervened, they would not get to see Adam’s true colors.After Yvonne got into the accident, the first thing her husband’s family did was sue Kelsey and demand financial compensation.It was clear that they were after whatever wealth Kelsey had.If their plan managed to work out, she was sure they were going to keep pushing their luck and squeeze more money out of Yvonne.In such a scenario, Yvonne would have essentially become their money tree. They were going to hide their true colors from her so they could keep scheming for more.Once they decided they had exploited her enough, they were going to kick her out of the house and leave her completely penniless.
“Don’t you want it too?”Tyler's breath beat against Kelsey’s ears.Her hair was disheveled.She had to bite down to stop herself from moaning out loud.“I… I don’t…” she whimpered and tried to squirm away.Something red glowed inside Tyler’s eyes.He suddenly bit her, and then...“Ah!”Kelsey grew nervous and trembled. “No, don't do this…”“Don’t do what?” Tyler pretended to be oblivious and continued to stir Kelsey’s desire.Soon, Kelsey could feel the redness expanding all across every inch of her body.“No, stop…” she faintly cried out in a fit of nervousness.“Alright, since you want me to stop, I will since I am a good husband,” Tyler declared in a deep, somber voice and sounded very receptive to her demands.Kelsey yelped faintly. She was covered in sweat by this point and could not take it anymore.What should she do now?Should she give in to her desire?In the end, it was a knock on the door that saved her.“Kelsey, are you awake? I made some tasty food for y
“I didn't expect you to be so alluring last night…” There was a gentle yet fervent glow in Tyler’s eyes as he began to tease her.He hardly caught a wink of sleep all night, his mind was filled with the thought of her.If he could not get some release, he was going to be pent up all day.Ever since he first got a taste of Kelsey, he had become addicted and could not help himself from wanting more.Kelsey's cheeks became flushed red as she whimpered, “But…"Tyler held her hand tightly and suddenly pleaded, “Could you help me…”The morning fit of passion had completely consumed the couple, they were beside themselves with lust.The only thing they could hear in their ears was the constant pulse of their breath.Since he was insistent, Kelsey ended up helping him.However, Tyler could not get enough of it.Soon, he retreated to the bathroom.At one point, Kelsey could hear his voice coming from the bathroom and immediately turned beet red.She could not stay in this room any l
Steve mounted Megan and punched her face left and right. Megan would hurl abuse at him at first, but her tirade quickly turned into pleading. Steve smacked Megan over two dozen times, only stopping when Megan lay limp on the floor. He turned to Tyler, his grimacing face replaced with ingratiation. “I have taught the bitch a lesson, Mr. Lang.” Stoic-faced, Tyler did not spare a glance at Steve. Steve was irrelevant to Tyler. Tyler took strides to Kelsey and grabbed her hands. He murmured in her ear, “Do you feel better now?” Kelsey looked back at Megan’s swollen face and curled her lips. “She’s not worth my time anyway.” The constant struggles with Charlie and Megan over the years had hardened Kelsey emotionally.Megan’s verbal abuse was like water off a duck’s back. Besides, Charlie had kicked Megan out of the house. Megan’s words were nothing more than a desperate cry now. Steve was no better than Charlie, and Megan had it coming. Despite his age, Steve went
Megan widened her eyes in disbelief at Steve. “D-Did you just hit me?” The last thing Megan expected was Steve to attack her. She thought she had compromised enough by dating a man so much older.Steve had been spoiling her rotten lately, giving her everything she wanted. Megan had gotten a big head. She thought she had Steve in the bag. Yet, to her dismay, Steve assaulted her. “Bitch!” Steve made a face of disgust. “Why did you slander Ms. Young?” In Steve’s opinion, Megan was more trouble than she was worth. Steve had gone to great lengths to curry favor with Tyler. Megan had gone and insulted Tyler’s woman right in his face. To make matters worse, Steve was caught up in the mess too. Steve regretted spoiling Megan, and she had gone in over her head. Megan’s eyes welled up. “Steve…” Her lips quivered as she looked at Steve with a hurt expression. Paying her no mind, Steve was occupied with ideas to please Tyler. “She’s just an escort to me, Mr. La
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
