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
“Kelsey, how much more shameless can you be? You have been leeching off us for years, it’s time for you to pay back what you owe us!”Kelsey rebuked him calmly, “You have been leeching off my mother for just as long, why haven’t I seen you making efforts to pay back the debt?”The reason why the Youngs even got to where they were today was because of her mother’s inheritance she received from her grandfather.At the time, Charlie had no assets to his name. He was as broke as they come.If not for her mother, Hailey, insisting on marrying him and making him the heir of her grandfather’s assets, he would not have any kind of capital.Since the beginning, Charlie had married Hailey for his benefit. Even when they started to become closer, he already found his match in Megan.Even after he married Hailey, he continued to maintain an indecent relationship with Megan which later led to the birth of their illegitimate daughter, Josephine.Charlie had deceived Hailey and claimed what ri
They wanted her to apologize again?This was not the first time that her father demanded her to apologize to his mistress.It was clear that it was his mistress who was out of line and disrespected her mother first.She admitted she may be in the wrong for having assaulted Megan, but her father had done more than enough to even the score by slapping her just now.Why should she apologize again?“Not unless she apologizes to Mom first!” Kelsey argued.If Megan was not going to apologize for insulting her mother, why should she be the only one apologizing?“You’re itching for me to punish you, aren’t you?” Charlie threatened her severely.Kelsey was unfazed by the threat.“Sure, bring it on!” She sneered smugly. “If you don’t want the compensation from the Langs anymore, then go ahead and do your worst!”Charlie's pupils shrank upon hearing this.He suddenly remembered Tyler’s threat before he left.Still, he was infuriated by his daughter having the audacity to hit his lady.
Little did Kelsey know, Josephine had been following her.Upon entering the bar, she immediately ordered a glass of hard liquor and started drinking.Soon, Yvonne arrived.When she observed Kelsey's slightly swollen face, she could not suppress her shock.“Kels, what happened to you?”Kelsey turned up to face her and proceeded to down the entire glass of liquor. “What else do you think? My old man, of course!”Yvonne frowned. “Did your dad hit you again?”Yvonne was aware that since Kelsey's mother became vegetative following the car accident, her relationship with her father had become extremely tense.Charlie wanted to claim all of her mother's assets for himself. Furthermore, he wanted to let his mistress and their illegitimate daughter stake their place in the family and replace Kelsey’s mother.To save her mother's life, Kelsey had to constantly guard herself and her mother against the dangerous ploys of her father and the mistress. This had led to plenty of conflicts bet
