Second Chance at Life and Love Chapter 496
Tyler locked Kelsey in his embrace. His towering build was a stark contrast to her slender figure. With a tender look on Tyler’s face, he rested his forehead against hers. “I love hugging you.” Kelsey blinked, caught off guard by his sudden affection. She was curious about Zara’s whereabouts. She wondered if Tyler had found her. However, she could not bring herself to ask. The mention of Zara could ruin the moment between her and Tyler. Tyler carried Kelsey back to the bedroom and lay down with her. Kelsey was surprised. “Aren’t you going to shower?” Tyler stared at her quietly. “I’ll go once you’re asleep.” He did not want to be away from her. The only thing on her mind was to hold her tight. Kelsey could talk him out of it. Still, she felt safe in his arms. Kelsey closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep. Tyler tucked Kelsey in and got up to take a shower in the bathroom. It was late after his shower. Tyler was tired. He went to bed while spooning Ke

Zara’s wheelchair was crushed under the tire. Her head smashed into the headlights, and she was seeing double. She strongly suspected that she had a concussion. Zara landed hard on the ground, sustaining numerous scrapes and abrasions.It took a while for Zara to catch her breath and deal with the pain. “I knew you wouldn’t go.” She stared at Tyler in despair and smirked at herself. “You only care about that bitch. You won’t bat an eyelid if I jump off the cliff.” Tyler put on a stoic face. “Stop causing more problems then.” Zara’s lashes quivered as she let off some hate. “I can’t walk away without doing something. How is Kelsey better than me?” She could not stand to see Tyler and Kelsey together. Zara was dead set on breaking them up. “I didn’t go to the cliff last night. I’ve stayed on the road across from your place to see if you’d come and find me.” Zara smiled tearfully. “You didn’t let me down, but instead of heading to the cliff, you went home to Ke

A solemn air hung heavy in the board meeting that morning. Tyler, sitting at the head of the table, looked stern. His eyes were bloodshot. He did not have a good sleep last night. Tyler had put together the materials for the meeting the moment he stepped into the office. He delivered a flawless presentation explaining the loss of the new urban development. Meanwhile, he introduced a new tunnel project with greater potential and higher returns. The board was impressed with Tyler’s in-depth knowledge of the project and convincing presentation. No one would think that he prepared the presentation in under an hour. Following Tyler’s instructions, the secretary distributed the planning proposal to the board. The board was swayed when they read the profit column which projected a 30% increase in profits. “Are there any questions?” Tyler narrowed his eyes and looked around the room. Everybody looked at him in admiration. They had no objections. Tyler put his hand o

Rosette took Kelsey to an office building in a prime location and asked for her opinion with a smile. Kelsey observed the space, paying attention to every detail. The place was even larger and in a better location than Rosette’s first choice. The office building was much more upscale too. The building housed several prestigious companies as evident from the presence of white-collar employees. The rental was significantly higher, typically three to four times more expensive. “It’s a good space, but the rental is a little on the higher end.” Kelsey was hesitant. They should stick to the budget since they were only in the early stages of setting up. “Don’t worry about the rent. We get rent-free.” Rosette blinked. Kelsey asked in confusion, “I doubt any landlord would do that.”Rosette curled her lips. “Think Cleo.” Kelsey was startled. “What?” The mention of Cleo reminded Kelsey of Zara right away. For all she knew, it could be another one of Zara’s schemes. Howe

Days later, Kelsey and Rosette established their business. Cleo sent them flowers to congratulate the duo and invited them to lunch. Kelsey refused to be the third wheel. However, Rosette insisted that Kelsey come along, considering the lunch as a thank-you to Cleo for offering the office space rent-free. It was not a date, so Kelsey had nothing to worry about. Out of alternatives, Kelsey agreed to attend lunch. Cleo had been waiting in the restaurant that he had booked out. Dressed in a crisp white shirt, left unbuttoned and untucked, he poised himself with a sophisticated charm.His sleeves were rolled up, subtly showcasing his high-end watch.With the pair arriving, Cleo got up and led them to their seats like a gentleman. He told the server to bring the food. They chatted while dining. Cleo exchanged pleasantries before talking business. “As far as I’m aware, Adrienne Jones, the movie star, is looking for a costume designer for her new movie.” Rosette’s eyes l

The ticking time bomb could set off at any time.“Zara has always been obsessed with Tyler. That’s why she has it in for you.” Cleo’s husky voice bore a hint of apology. Kelsey furrowed her brows. “Tyler and I are married. If you want what’s best for her, you should talk some sense into her.” Cleo sighed and replied, “I would’ve talked her out of it by now if she was ready to let go.” Kelsey glared at him. “So you’re saying that Zara is dead set on coming between me and my husband?” Though Cleo had been a gentleman, his indulgence toward Zara would ruin Kelsey’s marriage. Kelsey could not see him as a good guy. If Rosette was not in the picture, Kelsey would stay far away from Cleo. There was no way she would have dinner with him. Cleo’s eyes were unreadable. “Have you ever wondered if you and Tyler are suited for each other?” Keeping her emotions in check, Kelsey snapped sarcastically. “What? Are you telling me your sister and my husband are a better match?” Cleo loo

Kelsey left the hotel restaurant, her mind harking back to her conversation with Cleo. She could not believe Zara needed medical help again.Tyler seemed to have run her over. What the hell was going on? Kelsey had never heard a thing about it from Tyler. Something felt off. Hence, Kelsey hailed a ride to the hospital.She located Zara’s VIP ward. Just before Kelsey stepped into the ward, she saw Tyler inside through the door’s glass window.Kelsey froze. Zara was equally surprised by Tyler’s presence in her ward. She just regained consciousness. Her legs were numb, with little to no sensation. A throbbing pain shot through her head. The pain was so intense that the pressure from her heavily gauzed head did little to help. Amid her haziness, she saw Tyler sitting near her bed. Zara thought she was hallucinating. Tyler had been on her mind day and night. The moment Tyler showed up, Zara thought she was dreaming. “Tyler…” Zara probed, her hands reaching

“It’s a shame that I can’t give you love or sympathy.” Zara’s heart stopped for a moment as despair washed over her. Her eyes welled up. Despite knowing that it was the truth, Zara could not shake off the cruelty in his lingering words. She could not swallow the truth. Towering over her, Tyler looked askance at her. “Zara, if you know any better, you should find a man who loves and cares about you instead of pestering me.” Zara was consumed by rage. Her eyes turned bloodshot. “Why? Why can’t you love me? Can’t you spare just a bit of attention to me?” Tyler looked at her, his lips pursed and his eyes cold. “I’m married.” Zara grimaced, finding it appalling. “Why didn’t you marry me? I’ve waited for you and loved you all these years. Why couldn’t you look at me?” she shouted resentfully. Even with a painkiller, Zara could feel the injuries hurting and spreading. Zara cried out in despair. Her emotions got the best of her. An urge to kill fleeted across her ey

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
Second Chance at Life and Love Chapter 521
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
