Chapter 179

Author: Tina Peach
If her memory served her well, she knew there weren't any shops around selling beverages. One had to walk very far to buy a bottle of water, not to mention something as luxurious as hot cocoa.

"A lady from the reception brought some hot cocoa up the hill and said that she had an extra cup. She saw how handsome I was and offered it to me," Tyler said lazily.

Rachel didn't doubt the effect his good looks had on ladies ranging between the ages of 10 to 50. All of them would fall prey to that devilishly handsome face of his.

Putting aside his sharp tongue, she did agree that Tyler did look like an exquisite masterpiece carved by the heavens. She couldn't find a single flaw in his physical appearance.

His girlfriend would need to be of stout heart, though. A delicate princess spoiled by doting parents would probably burst out in tears just from being teased by him.

Just then, Rachel's phone buzzed. It was William calling.

She didn't answer the call.

  • Countdown to My Divorce   Chapter 626

    After Rachel, Cecilia, and Jerry had everything prepared, Cecilia received a call from Yvette.Cecilia was surprised by the incoming call, but wasn’t intending to answer it.When Rachel noticed the slight shift in Cecilia’s face, she leaned over and glanced at her phone screen.“Aren’t you off work today?” she asked, slightly confused.Lloyd Enterprise was relatively lax with its employees. As long as they completed their work, superiors usually wouldn’t call during the weekends.Cecilia found it strange, too. “I don’t know. We’re supposed to be on a break today. I don’t know why Yvette is choosing to call at this time.”“Answer it. Otherwise, she might have something to use against you.”Yvette was soon going to be demoted to a manager and would no longer be in the projects department. Since she would soon have no authority over Cecilia, they could bear with it for now.Cecilia put her phone on the table, swiped right to answer it, and switched it on to loudspeaker mode. “What

    The three of them headed straight to the elevator, oblivious that Samantha had spotted them at the entrance.Samantha was wondering why Rachel was here when she was supposed to be hospitalized. She naturally could recognize Cecilia, of course, but who was that guy with them? She had never seen him before.A plan started hatching in Samantha's mind. The huge uproar with Howard hadn’t yet blown over—and yet, here Rachel was, checking into a hotel with a strange man.Such excitement right in the middle of the day!Tyler was still injured and naturally couldn’t satisfy Rachel during this period. It was also common knowledge that women had a higher libido with age.Samantha smirked. Since Rachel didn’t mind, Samantha would help her out and dash all of William’s hopes of being back with her again.She pulled her phone out and dialed William’s number, her voice as bright and melodious as that of a nightingale.“William, guess who I saw at the entrance of the Emerald Hotel?”William

    The two of them rushed to the hospital at once.When Cecilia arrived at the ward and saw Jerry, who was making his way in, she paused mid-stride in surprise. Jerry's face was way too attention-grabbing for her to ignore him. His eyes were aggressive and hostile, the edge of his jaw sharp and incisive. On closer look, however, his features were exquisite and rather good-looking.They exchanged glances for a split second before Cecilia looked away.She paused for a moment, letting Jerry enter first.Jerry walked into the room; when he saw her on the bed, he greeted her automatically. “Hi, Rachel.”Rachel was in the middle of getting out of bed and packing her luggage. She turned around when she heard Jerry’s voice. Seeing that it was him, she smiled brightly. “Hi, Jerry. It’s been a while.”Jerry reached out to fold Rachel into a hug. Cecilia, still standing at the door, was shocked to see it. Rachel… Rachel knew this man!Cecilia had thought that it was someone the Ziegle

    Rachel had no idea that Tyler didn’t just start knowing her only recently.He had known her since she was very young. His attention had been on her since the first time they met. He had been doing so quietly and from afar, where she couldn’t see him and knew nothing.Tyler rested his chin on his palm; instead of getting angry, his interest was piqued. He looked dotingly at her, a curious glint flashing past the depths of his deep, dark eyes.“Sure. Help me set up a fortune-telling stall, and I’ll start work once I recover.”Rachel had just said that in passing. Given how flawless Tyler looked—what with his exquisite features, high cheekbones, and sharp nose—women wouldn’t go to him to have their fortunes told. No, they’d go to him to check him out.Rachel turned her face away and rejected him.“We’ll talk about that after you become bankrupt.”Tyler looked pitifully at Rachel, his eyes glistening; he looked completely different from his usual cold aloofness.“Will you take care

    The doctor turned to say to Rachel, “As long as he doesn’t over-exert himself physically or mentally, it shouldn’t be a problem. It’s just a superficial wound, after all. It’s certainly not as severe as suffering from internal injuries.”Rachel agreed with the doctor’s assessment. As long as Tyler didn’t move around too excessively, recovering shouldn’t be a problem. After the doctor left, Tyler stared at Rachel hard and asked, “What was going through your mind just now?”Rachel repeated herself, “Nothing.”Tyler rolled up his sleeves, exposing his strong and muscular forearms.“Don’t force me to take my special approach on you.”Rachel got to hand it to Tyler. She had no idea how he managed to tell at a glance that she was hiding something from him.Was it that obvious?However, Rachel didn’t want to hide it from him any longer. He had to know about it sooner or later.“I just wanted to ask this. You were the one who saved me from that fire a few years ago, right?”Tyler’s

    “Time to change the bandage,” a doctor said as he rapped on the door.Rachel hurriedly pushed Tyler away before anxiously smoothing out her hair.The doctor looked like he saw nothing out of the ordinary as he approached Tyler.“Time to change out the bandages. You went out at night, and the bandages are probably soaked through.”Tyler lay on the bed obediently. “Thank you, doctor.”The doctor made a move to pull Tyler’s pants down, but Tyler stopped him just in time.“Wait, doctor. Please help me draw the curtains.”The doctor held back the urge to laugh. “What’s the matter? Aren’t you two a couple? Why are you being so shy?”Rachel remained silent, wishing the doctor wouldn’t do as Tyler said and leave the curtains alone. That way, she would be able to see for herself if there was a scar at the top of Tyler’s thigh.She had a chance to check it out previously, but couldn't exactly spot the scar. It hadn't been very clear.Tyler cleared his throat. “My girl’s feeling a littl
