• Countdown to My Divorce   Chapter 244

  Tyler's expression visibly darkened at her words."That compliment was a bit over the top. Go learn how to act from William and come back."Rachel's smile froze.It felt like someone had just dumped a bucket of cold water over her head. Was her performance really that exaggerated? She thought she'd actually been pretty sincere.Forget it. Tyler clearly didn't respond to flattery. Maybe it was better to just cut to the chase."Mr. Hunt, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."Tyler leaned back in his chair, his legs crossed. He rested his elbow on the table, propping his chin on his hand. His narrowed eyes glinted."So you're finally going to show your hand?"Rachel's heart skipped a beat. "You knew already?"Tyler glanced at her. Her pupils contracted slightly, a misty sheen in her eyes. She looked vulnerable yet alluring.She probably didn't even realize that sometimes, just a single look from her could be so tempting.He cleared his throat. His deep voice was like

  "Didn't you make this for me? Why are you taking it away now?"Rachel pouted and, as if suddenly realizing something, placed the meatballs back in front of Tyler. "Oh, I just thought you didn't like it."Tyler picked up his fork and started helping himself to the other dishes, eating slowly and deliberately. "Rachel, your tricks are way too obvious."Rachel smiled nonchalantly and muttered under her breath, "It doesn't matter as long as they work."The food was, in fact, pretty good. It wasn't exactly like the taste he remembered, but it was close.He took a sip of coffee and casually asked, "Did you ever cook for William?""Of course. Did you have to ask?"As soon as she brought up her past as a pathetic lovelorn loser, she wanted to slap herself.Tyler clicked his tongue twice and set his cup down. "So did you ever learn how to cook just for him?"Rachel nodded honestly."Yeah. There was a time when he had a bit of a stomach problem, and he couldn't handle porridge served o

  Rachel came out of the kitchen with the dish a full two hours later.She had never realized how exhausting cooking could be, especially when she forgot the recipe for the meatballs halfway through and had to juggle between watching online tutorials and trying to recall how her mother used to make it.Her mom's specialty had always been meatballs.If she couldn't recreate that exact flavor Tyler loved, then this whole meal would be pointless.Rachel nervously brought the dish to the dining table. She glanced over at Tyler, who was still lounging on the sofa, glued to his phone.She walked over and called out to him from behind, "Dinner's ready, Mr. Hunt."Tyler paused mid-text and looked toward the dining table that was now covered with a decently hearty spread.He got up slowly from the couch and came to stand in front of Rachel. He rested his hand on the armrest and leaned in just a little."Rachel, why does this feel a little like a trap?" he asked.Rachel instinctively took

  Clearly, Tyler didn't think so. That woman in the red dress last time had been seductive, so much so that even Rachel, as a woman, had to admit she was stunning.Just one look from her was enough to send a jolt of electricity through someone's body.What man wouldn't be into that? For all Rachel knew, Tyler had already made plans to see her in private.Tyler straightened his back. Sensing that Rachel had finished dressing his wound, he reached for the shirt beside him and pulled it on."I never said I didn't like your figure."Rachel was already used to his abrupt, half-joking remarks and replied without missing a beat. "Pretty sure you don't get a say in that."Tyler buttoned up his shirt all the way to the top. His voice came out low and steady. "Don't speak too soon."Right now, Rachel had only one thing on her mind. She wanted to get dinner ready for this man. If she timed it right and he was in a good mood after eating, she could slip in her request.She straightened her c

  After Rachel left, Tyler tapped Ray's nose."You were way too clingy just now. What, I don't deserve a little dignity?"Ray whimpered and laid at Tyler's feet. His pitiful eyes brimmed with innocence.Rachel stepped out of the bathroom. Her fingertips were still wet. She flicked the water off and casually asked, "Mr. Hunt, your bathroom doesn't even have a towe–"Mid-sentence, she looked up and spotted Tyler with his back turned toward her. He was in nothing but his underwear. His skin was smooth over toned muscle, and the raw masculinity made her jaw drop.She had seen his body before, but somehow it still managed to take her breath away every time.Tyler turned around when he heard her voice."There's no towel. Can't you just use a tissue?"Still stunned, Rachel only now snapped her mouth shut after hearing his voice."Oh, right. Sure."She walked over to the table, pulled a couple of tissues from the box, and wiped her hands. She then glanced at him."Why'd you take all y

  Rachel smiled. "I just wanted to get here faster so we could deal with your wound."She grabbed the bag from the pharmacy, got out of the car, and walked around to the passenger side before opening the door."Do you need me to help you out?"Tyler suddenly realized something. A smirk appeared on his face.He knew something was off earlier. He had wondered why Rachel had randomly asked to drive his car. In a situation like this, she wouldn't normally be in the mood to try out a luxury car. Yet she'd looked at him all innocent, like a wide-eyed bunny, asking if she could take it for a spin.He'd actually believed her.Tyler waved her off. "I'm good."He unbuckled his seatbelt, and grabbed the door handle as he got out.Rachel noticed how he paused for a beat as he got out of the car, clearly in pain, before finally straightening up.When they reached the apartment door, Rachel looked at the keypad and instinctively stepped aside to let him punch in the code."Two, zero, zero, z
