“I really don't know them…”“You’re still trying to make excuses?” Tyler stared severely at her. “I have already done my investigation. This group of people are all from the same hometown as your assistant, Janine. These hooligans helped you with many other dirty jobs in the entertainment industry over the years. What you do behind the scenes is none of my concern but now that you have hurt my woman, I will no longer tolerate it. You should be thankful that I am only removing your family from one project, that’s as light as the punishment gets. Would you like me to punish you specifically instead?”Zara felt her heart lurch.She did not expect Tyler to have found out about Janine. It looked like he had found out about everything there was to know.She no longer had any grounds to deny her involvement.However, she was still very upset.“I just told them to give Kelsey a warning, it’s not like they did anything to her.” She complained wryly, “It was Kelsey’s fault to continue pest
It was over, it was all over!Kelsey was hoping to get Tyler back.She was sure Tyler would hate her even more now that she threw up on him.All because she got drunk!If she had known this was going to happen, she would not have drunk so much last night.All things considered, It was not her fault!It was Megan and Charlie’s fault for trying to get her to marry that filthy old Mr. Vernon!After she objected and started a huge argument with them, she resorted to running away!That was how she ended up drinking too much with Yvonne in the bar.She believed there was a man who tried to flirt with her in the bar last night. Around that point, Tyler showed up just in time to save her.Then, she thought about the series of ridiculous things she did and said in her fit of drunkenness last night.She was beyond ashamed.Fortunately, Tyler was not around, otherwise she would not even know how she was supposed to face him!She hurriedly threw off the blanket and got out of bed to g
Kelsey suggested. “How about I do something else instead?”Tyler gave her a look before announcing, “Your punishment will be to cook for me for a week!”Kelsey nearly shrieked. “Cook?”She did not know how to cook.Tyler narrowed his eyes into a squint. “You can’t cook?”Kelsey gritted her teeth and declared, “I will do my best to learn how to!”Although she had never cooked before, she figured there was a first time for everything.She wanted to leave a good impression on Tyler and was willing to take the leap for him.Tyler grinned faintly upon hearing this.That was when Kelsey’s stomach began to growl as well.“Are you hungry?” Tyler fixed a look on her.Kelsey cringed inwardly and excused herself. “I’ll cook something right now.”With that, she quickly scuttled into the dresser and got changed. After that, she went downstairs to the kitchen.This was the first time she had ever been in the kitchen at all.She was the eldest lady of the Youngs household.Even though
Kelsey felt tempted to challenge herself.She tried to recall how Talia used to make grilled potatoes so she could reiterate the process.With that, she turned on the stove and poured oil into the pan.She was creating her best impression of a master chef.However, since it was her first time cooking, she was not sure how much was the right amount of oil.She ended up being careless and poured too much oil.However, she was not aware of her mistake. She then tossed in the aromatics such as ginger, scallions, and onions.After frying them for a while, she noticed the pan had been dried out of oil.She wondered if it was because she had not poured in enough oil.With that, she added more oil to the pan.To prevent the pan from drying out again again, she added more oil this time to the point where the entire pan was simmering with glossy oil.Soon, she realized she had put too much oil to the point where it resembled a soup more than anything.The potatoes were not cooking.
As if Kelsey was made of glass.With his soothing kisses, Kelsey soon stopped fidgeting from her nerves.She was not as agitated as before and soon managed to compose herself.Tyler slowly pulled away from her.Kelsey still felt terrible about what happened and apologized sincerely, “I am so sorry for burning down your kitchen!”She said this with a marked hint of innocence and embarrassment written across her face.Tyler was not upset. On the contrary, he was mesmerized by how adorable she looked.He reached forward and gently flicked at her nose. “It’s no big deal at all, the only thing that matters is you’re safe. I wouldn’t have cared less even if the entire house burned down as long as you’re okay.”He would always be surprised by the things that he would say to Kelsey.He simply did not have the heart to blame her.Kelsey was briefly taken aback by the response. She was filled with a warm, fuzzy feeling.She blinked in disbelief and asked again, “Are you sure it’s fine
Tyler smiled in his usual charming way. “You'll know once we get there!”With that, he stepped on the pedal and brought them to a private manor by the sea.This particular coastal area was purchased by a certain wealthy man who then had contractors build his private manor here. It was a place designed for wealthy upper-class people to spend time in.It was no surprise that it was the go-to place for the wealthy people of Abervale to indulge in luxury.It was said that a meal in the manor was equivalent to several months of salary for common folks.“Why are we here?” Kelsey stared transfixed at the incredible view of the sea as she blurted out the question.“Because they have good seafood here!” Tyler smiled.He knew that Kelsey loved seafood more than anything else.Kelsey smiled upon hearing this. She had a smile that would make people swoon over her.For her part, she would not be bothered even if they were not having seafood.The most crucial thing was that she got to be w
The manager was confused by this and interrupted them. “Weren’t you two requesting a private two-person box?”The manager’s claim suggested that the pair had made plans to dine together in this specific place.They simply did not expect to run into Kelsey at the entrance and had to make up something on the spot.However, the lie they had drawn up was too flimsy.Seeing that Josephine had been exposed, Cooper decided to own up to the truth. “I was the one who asked Josephine to come.”Kelsey chuckled to herself.The cat was out of the bag and Cooper was admitting the truth.Unexpectedly, Cooper suddenly changed the subject.“Josephine was telling me that your father is trying to marry you to the old Mr. Vernon? I decided to call her out here so we can talk about what’s happening and see if we can figure something out to help you.”He regarded Kelsey with a fixed look and pretended as if he was sincerely looking out for her.Kelsey would be a fool to fall for his trick.“Did I
The one thing that was taboo to Cooper was bringing up the subject of his lack of status in the Lyon household. He hated being looked down on.It had always been something he was sensitive about.His mother was not legally married into the family, she was just a mistress whom his father kept.Later, when his mother was killed, he was taken into the Lyons as the second son in title only.Before that, he lived in the slums with his mother. His life had been tough as nails.Ever since he was taken into Lyons, the media and the others around him had always scrutinized his background.Nobody in the elite circles ever regarded him with respect.Kelsey was the only one who ever talked to him.She was the only spark of light in the darkness that was his life.She was the only person in the world who was willing to care for him unconditionally ever since the passing of his mother.He had always wanted to get closer to Kelsey but had always been bothered about the fact that Kelsey was
