Second Chance at Life and Love Chapter 41
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

Charlie was seconds away from erupting in anger but managed to forcefully suppress it just in time.Within seconds, he switched to a pandering appearance. “Oh, if it isn’t you, Tyler.”Kelsey was admittedly impressed by how quickly her father could change his behavior.He looked like he was ready to brawl with Tyler but immediately upon recognizing him, he curbed his attitude.Tyler ignored Charlie and handed a phone to Kelsey. “You dropped this.”Kelsey inspected the phone and realized that it was her phone.While she was inside Tyler’s car just now, she had been absentmindedly scrolling her phone while her mind was occupied.After the car stopped, she stepped out of the car without thinking and ended up leaving her phone in his car.Did he show up just to return her phone?In a strange twist, he ended up accidentally bailing her out of a difficult situation!“Are you okay?” Tyler looked at her and expressed concern.Kelsey shook her head and expressed gratefully, “I’m fine

After all, the fact that Tyler showed up today suggested that he still cared about Kelsey.It would be best if the engagement could continue as originally planned!Kelsey also eyed Tyler nervously.Her father remarked that they were a pair of childhood sweethearts and had feelings for each other. However, the truth was slightly different.It was certainly true that they were a pair of childhood sweethearts. However, she had rejected him for many years and their mutual interest was only a recent development.For what it was worth, she genuinely wanted to be with Tyler now.She hoped her father could somehow convince the Langs to withdraw the decision to cancel the engagement and give her another chance.Unexpectedly, Tyler stated solemnly, “It was my uncle who made the call to cancel the engagement. The press conference has already been held…”Kelsey's heart dropped.Could this mean that he insisted on canceling the engagement as well?He may insist that it was his uncle's ide

Charlie immediately glared at Kelsey. “What did you say?”His glares were full of warnings. Now that Tyler had finally agreed to provide compensation, he would never let her hear the end of it if she messed it up!Kelsey ignored Charlie and repeated her stance. “I did it willingly because I have feelings for you, that’s why I…”Charlie saw red in an instant. “You shut your mouth!”His voice was trembling.Upon crying out, he angled his palm in the air, preparing to slap Kelsey across her face.However, Tyler intervened in time and seized his wrist firmly.Charlie yowled in pain. Upon meeting the deep and menacing look in Tyler’s eyes, he became so intimidated that he could not even speak.“It was my fault for breaking off the engagement. If you’re going to blame someone, blame it on me but don’t torment Kels!”He wore a tense expression while he spoke. His voice was filled with bass and carried an oppressing aura.Charlie hissed between his teeth. “I wouldn’t dare, Mr. Lang

Kelsey chuckled icily in response. “I’m sorry, ma’am, but you do realize that my mother is still alive, don't you? I don’t think you are a valid member of our family yet. Are you sure it’s right for you to take somebody else’s daughter as your own? If you mean to apologize, you should go to the hospital and apologize to my mother instead!”She had effectively disgraced Megan.Megan was so stunned that she could hardly utter a word.Kelsey was infuriated. How dare a mistress pretend to ask for her forgiveness and spout such nonsense about accepting her as a daughter?It was clear as day that the wretched woman had been coveting her mother’s position for a long time. Don’t even think about it!If she was truly apologetic, she should take her bastard daughter with her and remove themselves from the Young household immediately.Kelsey vowed to herself that it was the only form of apology she would expect.“Kelsey!” Charlie frowned in disapproval.He was upset at Kelsey being so dis

With that, Tyler walked away dejectedly.Sometimes, the only way to love was to let go!He wanted to let Kelsey be with Cooper.He did not want to possess her selfishly.He wanted to give her the happiness she wanted.Even if he was not going to be a part of that happiness.So long as she was happy, it was enough for him.Kelsey was very moved.She once read a quote in a book that said that if you liked someone, you would give them what you wanted them to have. If you loved someone, you would give them whatever they desired.Now she understood the reason Tyler suddenly decided to cancel the engagement. It was not because he no longer loved her anymore, but because he had truly loved her.Even if he had to endure the pain of losing his lover for the rest of his life, he would sacrifice himself because he did not want her to marry a man she did not love.Little did he know…She was no longer the same Kelsey she was in the past.Tyler was the one she had feelings for.She pr

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
