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

    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

    Kelsey and Tyler sat facing each other in the dining room. Tyler kept his head down while eating and never stole even a glance at her.Kelsey could not help but feel defeated. Was he unhappy with her wearing a dress? Perhaps he would prefer a more casual, frilly dress?“Tyler, you don’t like me wearing this dress, do you?” Kelsey could not help but ask.“I don’t mind it,” Tyler answered indifferently.Kelsey doubted he was telling the truth. If that was the case, why would he not look at her?Unbeknownst to her, Tyler did not look at her because she looked far too sexy.After breakfast, Tyler finally turned up to look at her and announced, “I’m taking you home!”Kelsey's heart sank again. He was taking her home? She was hoping to stay with him for a few more days.“Can I please stay?” She tried to plead.The look in Tyler's eyes deepened slightly, but he reminded her expressionlessly, “You have stayed here for two days.”Kelsey’s expression stiffened. She was planning to st

    However, the engagement had been decided a long time ago by Tyler’s grandparents.She was not expecting things to turn out like this after Tyler's grandmother was suddenly hospitalized. His uncle immediately stepped in and announced the decision to void the engagement entirely.If she had known about this, she would not have been so bold in assuring her father that the engagement would not be called off.It no longer mattered what she said now because she knew her father would not believe her.Her father never liked her in the first place.Even before this, he never believed most of what she told him.Now that things had turned out like this, he was less likely than ever to believe her.“What does that have to do with you? You’re not even a member of the family. The cancellation of the engagement only concerns the members of the Young and the Lang households, it has nothing to do with you so don’t stick your nose where it doesn’t belong!” Kelsey shot a glare at Megan and retorte

    Josephine's expression immediately warped upon hearing this. She turned to Kelsey in disbelief.She only intended to pretend to help her.She did not expect Kelsey to expect her to be serious and to be punished in her place.Why would she ever do that for Kelsey?“Kelsey, you're picking on your sister again!” Megan cried out sharply.There was no way she could bear to see her precious daughter being punished for Kelsey.With that, she immediately dropped the act and told off Kelsey right there.Kelsey flashed a grin filled with mockery. “If you didn’t want to do it, you could have just said so. Why did you have to put up an act in front of Dad?”Just like that, she tore the mask right off the pair without mercy.Megan’s and Josephine's expressions were frozen with shock. They hardly knew what to say.If they were to claim that they were not acting and were serious about protecting Kelsey, she would have gladly allowed Josephine to be beaten in her place.If they had gone the

    Kelsey quickly realized that it was Megan who tripped her.From the corner of her eye, Megan spotted Charlie who was about to catch up. With that, she immediately pretended to help Kelsey up.Kelsey tossed her hand away in disgust. “Go away, don't touch me!”Even though she had only briskly shaken her off, Megan was ‘flung away’ from the force and ‘just so happened’ to hit her head against a table.“Mom!”Josephine cried out dramatically and rushed to her.She called out several times, but Megan did not respond.It appeared that she had been knocked unconscious.Josephine was distraught.Charlie rushed to Megan's side and held her in his arms tenderly. “Maggie?”When Megan heard her name called, she weakly opened her eyes.The first thing she said upon drawing her eyes open was, “Don't blame Kelsey…”It might sound like she was trying to defend Kelsey, but the purpose was to insinuate that it was Kelsey who hurt her.Kelsey was the reason she suddenly bumped into the edge

    Seeing how much thought Tyler put into her birthday, Susan felt confident that Kelsey was in good hands. Kelsey was lucky to marry a man like Tyler. The family was blessed to have Tyler. “All that matters is that you’re happy.” Tyler tended to Susan’s needs with respect. “I haven’t been this happy in a long time.” Susan nodded with a delightful smile. Kelsey could tell that Susan was a lot happier today. Susan had been feeling hurt since Charlie sent her to live in a nursing home. She felt like Charlie prioritized his side piece over his mother. It had been a while since Susan smiled again.The smile on Susan’s face was infectious. Kelsey’s face beamed. Tyler smiled along too. The lounge was filled with laughter and joy. After lunch, Tyler drove Kelsey and Susan to the nursing home. Susan, being elderly, fell asleep in the car. Tyler carried Susan back to her room in the nursing home. Kelsey could see how much Tyler cared about Susan. Tyler had to leave d

    “Please… Save my baby…” With Steve walking away, Megan pinned her hope on the restaurant staff. The restaurant manager and staff had witnessed Megan insulting Tyler and Kelsey. They would not risk upsetting Tyler by helping her. The restaurant staff looked the other way and went back to their own business. Megan held her belly as resentment consumed her. Tyler’s support was the only thing helping Kelsey to take Megan down. Otherwise, Megan would still be living her life. First, Charlie threw her out. Even Steve left her. Steven beat her up, causing her to lose her baby. Megan blamed everything on Kelsey. She would make Kelsey pay. Megan vowed to get her revenge. Losing her willpower to the pain, Megan lost consciousness. It was a kind female patron who called the emergency line for Megan. …Kelsey helped Susan into the lounge on the top floor. The place was definitely remarkable. The interior was lavishly appointed, with each piece of furniture carefully

    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
