Chapter 189

Author: Tina Peach
Who would've thought William didn't even plan on getting a divorce?

William rubbed his temples in frustration. "I haven't thought that far ahead yet. We'll deal with it when the time comes. Don't worry, Samantha won't pressure me. She already told me that being with me is enough for her. She doesn't care about status.

"She said whatever I decide, she'll go along with it."

Cassandra nodded, pondering the situation. "But that can only work for now. There's no way this setup will last. If Rachel finds out about Samantha, with that temper of hers, she'll cause an uproar.

"You can't be fooled by how calm Rachel seems. She may not fight or argue on the surface, but if she ever discovers what's going on between you and Samantha, she'll turn the entire household upside down."

The more Cassandra spoke, the more irritated William became.

"Mom, can you not create unnecessary drama?"

"Then why won't you divorce Rachel?"

William rubbed his chin. His expression was tense. Feeling stifled, he

  • Countdown to My Divorce   Chapter 200

    Rachel immediately understood what Tyler meant. He wanted her to act as his shield.Considering he had helped her earlier that night, it didn't feel right to refuse such a small favor. So Rachel suppressed the awkwardness she felt and sat back down. Thankfully, the lighting was dim enough that no one noticed how flushed she had gotten.A few of the women nearby, seeing how close Rachel was to Tyler, couldn't help but feel curious."Hey, sweetheart, where are you from? Even if you've got your eye on him, there's still a first-come, first-served rule," a woman in a red dress with dark hair asked.Rachel lifted her chin while trying to suppress her nerves. "You've got it wrong. I'm his girlfriend.""Girlfriend?"The group burst into laughter."Come on, sweetheart, can't you come up with a better excuse? We're all his girlfriends too, you know!"Rachel thought maybe it was the way she said it that made them suspicious, so she tried again. This time, she did it more firmly."I came

    "Do you need someone to go with you? If you're scared, you can beg me. I might reluctantly accompany you," Tyler said, lounging on the couch with his legs stretched out. The light above cast shadows over his jawline and features, giving him a vague, smoldering look.Tyler always had that superior attitude wherever he went. To be fair, he had the right to act that way.Rachel smiled. "No."Tyler leaned back again. He didn't press the issue.Following the waiter's directions, Rachel made her way to the restroom. Once inside, she retrieved her phone and checked it again. She saw that William had sent her a message ten minutes ago.For a moment, the icy wall around her heart seemed to thaw slightly. But when she opened the message, the chill came crashing back like a tidal wave.[Rachel, my mom's not feeling well. William was worried about me being alone tonight, so he took me to the hospital. Did you need him for something?]Rachel read it, shrugged, and let out a cold, sarcastic c

    Rachel followed behind the sales assistant, who patiently brought the clothes to her."This dress would look great on you. Your figure is amazing. You'd look good in anything. Your skin is fair too, and the color will really complement your complexion."Rachel knew it wasn't right to drag people out of bed this late, so she didn't bother being picky. "This one's fine," she said right away.The sales assistant let out a sigh of relief. She had expected a difficult customer, but Rachel was surprisingly easygoing.When Rachel stepped out of the fitting room after changing, the assistant's eyes lit up. Any trace of sleepiness was gone."Miss, you look absolutely stunning in that dress! It's like it was custom-made just for you."The dress itself was simple. It had a strap with feathery layers sewn into the fabric. Rachel's tall and slender figure, with perfect proportions, made her a natural fit. Her long, fair legs were especially striking."This dress is really hard to pull off. L

    Rachel's old friends rarely came back to visit. These past few years, all her energy had been poured into William and work, so much so that she no longer had a life of her own.If she wanted to go out for a drink, the only person she could really call was Cecilia.But thinking of Cecilia's current situation, Rachel could only force a bitter smile. With all the drama going on in Cecilia's family, there was no way she'd have the time or energy to come out drinking.At this point, the only person left she could go to was Tyler.Tyler raised an eyebrow with a faint smirk. "Didn't think you had it in you, Rachel.""It's just a drink. It's not like I'm marching into a burning building."Just then, Tim came back with two bottles of water.Tyler took them and opened the car door before giving him an order. "You can head back.""Mr. Hunt, where are you headed? I can take you.""It's fine. I'll call when I'm done."Tim nodded. "Understood."After he left, Tyler handed Rachel one of th

    Tyler frowned as if he didn't quite buy what Rachel had just said. "Is that so?"Rachel nodded seriously, as if worried he might not believe her. "Yeah, that's all it was. You interrupted me before I could explain."From her words, Tyler seemed to recall how he'd just jumped to a conclusion. His eyes briefly swept over her, though his expression remained unreadable."Oh."There wasn't the slightest hint of embarrassment or awkwardness from him, despite his earlier assumption.Rachel couldn't help but admire him a little. This man probably didn't even know what the word 'awkward' meant.If it had been her, just imagining the situation from the other side made her cringe inside. If she'd misunderstood someone like that, especially in that way, she would probably want to disappear into a hole.Tyler twisted the cap off the ointment and grabbed Rachel's hand.Rachel lowered her gaze. Her voice was much softer than usual. "I can do it myself.""Stop acting all shy. It's annoying."

    Of course William would know about the tattoo, but how did Tyler know?Tyler casually crossed one long leg over the other. He leaned back in his seat with an air of nonchalance."Just a guess," he said smoothly.Rachel didn't buy that for a second. She felt like he was deliberately stringing her along."Come on, tell me. How do you know?"She had gotten it back in school. She had been caught up in a trend with a bunch of her female classmates.She'd originally wanted a lily because it was her favorite flower, but too many girls had already picked that. After going back and forth, she had settled on a butterfly instead.Tyler folded his arms across his chest, leaned against the car seat, and smiled without answering.Rachel didn't press the issue. She wasn't the kind to beg for an answer. If he didn't want to tell her, fine.Tyler's assistant, Tim, was driving. As the car approached an intersection, Tyler finally asked, "Should I take you home?"Rachel frowned. At the thought
