All Chapters of Second Chance at Life and Love: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Tyler was not in the study. Kelsey wondered where he could be. She hoped Tyler did not run after Zara. Even when Kelsey rushed down the stairs just now, she did not find Tyler and Zara in a compromising position. Tyler was indifferent to Zara the whole time too. However, Kelsey could not shake off the thought that Zara was in possession of the necklace left behind by Tyler’s parents. Kelsey felt uneasy. Tyler would not have given the necklace of sentimental value to Zara unless he was serious about her. Kelsey could only speculate about Tyler’s feelings for Zara. Her gaze moved around the room. Kelsey stumbled upon the velvet box on his desk from last night. She walked over and opened the box for a look. The velvet box contained the Angel’s Tear. The necklace was still there. Tyler had not presented the necklace to anyone yet. For some reason, Kelsey was relieved. She waited in Tyler’s study for a while. His prolonged absence left her no choice but to leav

“Why have you been ignoring me, Kels? Are you angry with me?” Cooper grabbed Kelsey’s hand and asked emotionally. Kelsey shook off his grip and kept a distance from him. “What do you think?” She threw the question back at him. Kelsey thought to herself, ‘I ignore you because I want to. You’re not worth any of my emotions.’She wanted Cooper dead. Cooper’s eyes bore a hint of sinister. “I know that I put you in a difficult position. If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t have to beg Tyler and sleep with him.” Kelsey smirked. Sure enough, nothing she said could get through to the guy. Kelsey had set the record straight with Cooper when they last met. She slept with Tyler of her free will, and Cooper held no bearing on her decision. The man sure thought highly of himself. Cooper suddenly pulled Kelsey into his arms. “Don’t worry. I won’t hold that night against you. I will take care of you,” he promised once more. Kelsey was scornful. “Take care of me? How do you pla

Kelsey turned to face Cooper. “Are you kicking my mom out of the hospital?” It was more of a statement than a question. Kelsey had a good idea of the type of person Cooper was. Given his behavior, he was capable of using her mother to keep Kelsey in the relationship. “I would never.” Cooper put his arm around her shoulders. “Because you and I are together, our mom can stay as long as she likes.” His words may sound sweet, but it did not change the fact that he was using his mother as leverage. The deceptively soft tone veiled the underlying menace.Kelsey furrowed her brows in resentment and broke free from his embrace. “Leave. I don’t want to see you now,” fighting back the urge to slap him, Kelsey said while turning her back toward him. Cooper’s gaze fell on her. “Kels—” Before he could say anything more, Kelsey shouted angrily, “Get out!” Cooper narrowed his eyes dangerously. It never occurred to him that Kelsey had the nerve to throw a tantrum at him. K

Tyler left the Lang family home on a sour note. After taking a call, Shawn came to report to Tyler, “Mr. Lang, I just received word from the group sent to keep an eye on Ms. Young.” Shawn paused and glanced at Tyler. His glum expression made Shawn hesitant to speak. Tyler looked sternly at him. “What did they say?” Shawn braced himself. “They informed me that Ms. Young met up with Cooper in the hospital.” Tyler grimaced. “Which hospital?” Tyler pressed. Shawn replied, “It’s a hospital owned by the Lyons. I believe Ms. Young’s mother is receiving medical attention there.” Anger flashed in Tyler’s eyes, a dangerous tension radiating from him.Sure enough, Kelsey was still involved with Cooper. Tyler put too much faith in Kelsey once more. He assumed Kelsey would break things off with Cooper since he and Kelsey had connected on an intimate level. It slipped Tyler’s mind that Kelsey’s mother was in Cooper’s hands. There was a lot at stake for Kelsey to separate fr

Kelsey pressed her lips together. “I don’t intend to ask for his help or borrow his money.” She wanted to be an equal partner to Tyler instead of depending on him for every little thing. Her issue with her mother was her own to solve.“But where are you going to get several million dollars from? Who would help you? Your dad?” Yvonne grilled. Kelsey needed money to transfer her mother to another hospital for treatment. It was a costly affair too. As Hailey was in a coma, the bill rang high for the drugs, nursing care, recovery, and so on. The $200,000 from Yvonne only covered a small fraction of the cost. The charge for the hospital transfer and best care would be a million dollars, at the minimum. Kelsey’s gaze was dark and deep. “I have not thought that far, but I know I can’t count on my father.” Charlie was preoccupied with remarrying his old flame. Megan and Josephine had him wrapped around their little finger, so the last thing on Charlie’s mind was Hailey. Fra
