Eva's eyes widened in an instant.Did Kelsey just call Tyler her hubby?Such audacity!Even when Eva’s family had been working with the Langs in the past and her name was getting associated with Tyler’s in the news, she never dared to address him like that.As far as she knew, Tyler would never allow any woman around him to address him so boldly.She had assumed that Tyler would only react with repulsion at such a gesture.Unexpectedly, Tyler barely even frowned. Without saying a word, he handed over the steak on his plate to Kelsey.“Eat mine instead!”“Thank you, Hubby!”Kelsey smiled radiantly.Eva was dumbfounded by the exchange.Tyler had… Did he just allow Kelsey to address him as hubby?He even cut a plate of steak for her.Eva had never seen such a gentlemanly display from Tyler in the past.She continued to size up Kelsey in complete disbelief.What was it about this woman that made Tyler treat her like this?Truthfully, there had always been a particular woman
Kelsey's eyes suddenly darkened as she fell into a depressed mood.How was she supposed to defeat all these love rivals and claim Tyler for herself?“What's wrong?” Tyler seemed to have noticed something off with her and expressed concern immediately.Kelsey pursed her lips tightly. “That woman just now...she’s that famous Eva Rhine, isn’t she?”Not only was her family one of the richest in town, but they also came from a military and political background.They were indescribably powerful!If they were truly interested in joining their family with Tyler’s to strengthen both families, there was no way Tyler could refuse them even if he wanted to.Besides, he had no reason to refuse to start with.Tyler cast a deep, meaningful look at Kelsey. “Do you know her?”Kelsey blurted out without a thought, “I saw the news between you two circulating on the Internet last time…”The moment she said this, she noticed the way Tyler's expression shifted and that was when she realized what s
It seemed like Kelsey had struck a nerve.Eva cursed viciously without bothering to mind her image, “You shameless fox, I know you must have used some dirty trick to seduce him!”Kelsey calmly retorted, “If you truly think so, maybe you can try to do it too. See if you can manage to seduce Tyler too!”Eva clenched her fists tightly. A faint dark look flashed across her eyes.Admittedly, she had also used various tricks to get with Tyler.However, Tyler never fell for any of them.She was out of ideas at this point.As if Tyler not biting on any of her bait was not bad enough, what made it worse was that this woman somehow managed to charm him!“You...you bitch!”She was furious at this point and cast daggers with her eyes.She was convinced that the wretched woman must have used some unknown, devilish trick. It was the only way to explain how she managed to win over Tyler.With that, she rushed over and prepared to swing a furious slap across Kelsey’s face.Unexpectedly, Ke
Eva coyly cocked her brow. “Every woman who has been with Tyler knows that he is still obsessed over his first love. Nobody can ever hope to replace her!”She had said so to destroy Kelsey’s confidence and push her to give up on Tyler.Unfortunately, it had an unintended effect. Instead of being dejected, Kelsey burst out laughing.“He’s still obsessed over his first love?” She grinned as widely as she could.She could not believe all the women around Tyler had described her like that.It seemed like she still held a significant place in his heart.That must be why all these women were so wary.Eva was utterly confused. “What are you laughing about?”How could Kelsey laugh so cheerily upon finding out that Tyler was still obsessed over someone else?Has she lost her mind?Kelsey cast an amused look at Eva and announced with a tinge of surprise in her voice, “I didn't expect you to know that I was the girl he had been obsessed over.”Eva's expression shifted instantly to one
Kelsey now realized that there was no need for her to worry about them at all.It was because she was the one Tyler had been waiting for.With that, she chuckled cheerily again while taking another bite."You seem like you’re in a good mood.” Tyler fixed a look on her with his obsidian eyes.Kelsey turned up to him and asked with a brisk smile, “Where are we going to continue our date after this?”Tyler's eyes lit up upon hearing the mention of the word ‘date’.However, his answer was curt, “I’m taking you home!”Kelsey was taken aback.She asked in disbelief, “Which home?”Tyler remarked faintly, “Your home.”Kelsey could not help herself from asking, “You...don't you want me to stay with you?”She recalled the passionate kisses they shared in the car just now. They were this close to doing it right there.Since Tyler had brought her to this five-star hotel for dinner, she assumed they would get a room here right after dinner.To her surprise, it did not seem like he had
Tyler's eyes darkened.His heart started beating like a drum again.Despite that, he did his best to suppress his surging emotions.After that, he insisted. “I’m taking you home!’Kelsey curled her lips in dismay.Since he insisted on taking her home, she had no choice but to follow suit!Soon, Tyler’s car jerked to a stop in front of the Youngs’ household.Kelsey hesitated to step out of the car.“Hubby, do you have the heart to leave me here?” She pleaded tenderly while pressing against Tyler and wrapped her arms around his waist.Tyler took a deep breath.He desperately wanted to return the hug.However, he remembered that he had to let go and let Kelsey choose what she desired.In the end, he managed to resist his desire.“You can go now,” he remarked icily.Kelsey was very disappointed by his response.Why was he not getting her hint? She could not make it any more obvious even if she tried!What could she do to make Tyler believe her?She sighed.With that, she
What surprised Kelsey was that Megan and her father were not upset.Instead, they wore beaming smiles as if they had already seen this coming.She was immediately thrown off.What on earth was this trio up to?She originally planned to head back to her room to rest after the meal.Unexpectedly, Charlie called out after her to stop her.“Wait a minute, Kels!”Kelsey turned around. “Did you need something else from me, Dad?”She was thinking to herself that he was finally going to cut into the main subject.It was time to see what he had been concocting this entire time.However, Charlie wore the same smile and remarked, “Kels, you are not young anymore. Even if Tyler doesn't want you, you can’t just stay home and be single forever, can you?”Kelsey stated sternly, “Dad, I am twenty-two!”She was hardly old enough to be married yet.She had enough of Charlie’s attitude, acting as if there was something criminal about her not being married and staying at home. All the nagging
Megan chimed in as well, “Older men are more caring!”Kelsey sneered. “If that's the case, why don't you let Josephine marry him instead?”Charlie and Megan's expressions dropped upon hearing this.“Do you know how old Josephine is? She has barely started college, how could we have her get married so soon?” the two of them blurted out in unison.Kelsey rolled her eyes. “I may be in college, but I'm not much older than her either! If I am supposed to be old enough to marry, why can’t she?”She was only three years older than Josephine.In other words, her father had another child with his ex-girlfriend only three years after having her.She had been a child prodigy and got to skip two years of education. Following that, she was admitted into college on a recommendation.While her peers were all in college as well, her father was already planning to marry her off to a man older than her by two decades.“This is different!” Charlie expressed with a dark look on his face.Kelsey
