With her face heating up, the fair and rosy cheeks of Jade were now crimson red. Due to her shock, rather than answering his question she asked him instead. "Why are you here?" "I came back to bring your phone," Tyler lifted her handbag with a frown. Radiant as the sun was Jade's face when a smile bloomed on her face, bedazzling someone who looked at her. Tyler stared at her while she took the handbag from him. "You haven't answered me, Jade," Tyler said, not releasing the handbag to her, looking at the woman who bloomed like a flower in front of him. "I want to go home, Tyler," Jade didn't realize that she mentioned his name smoothly as if they were a real couple. Jade calling his name in an intimate manner tugged at Tyler's heartstrings that compelled him to reach out, gently pat Jade's head and spoke tenderly at her. "Are you bored?" Tyler's action made Jade's heart flip. What's with the move? Is he taking advantage of me? Hearing someone coughing at their back, Jade was r
Back at the old mansion"Madam, Mr. Tyler told me to inform you that she had taken his wife to his mansion," Simeon politely relayed Tyler's message to Cecilia. "What do you perceive?" Cecilia asked Simeon, her eyes trained outside, looking at the trees that had orange leaves signifying the autumn season. Before he opened his mouth to speak, Simeon swallowed. "I think the marriage was nothing but a sham. However, upon observing Mr. Tyler's interaction with the girl his actions were genuine. He cared for her." All the while when Tyler was talking to Jade at the door, Simeon observed Tyler carefully. Tyler's usually calm and cold eyes that showed no emotion at all, had that glow in them, reflecting an emotion flooding his heart. Though Tyler was always gentle and caring towards Sophia his eyes lack luster when he was with her. But not for Jade, his eyes sparkled and carried warmth. It wasn't a pretense. It's just that what was in his heart overflowed and couldn't contain it. At th
Seeing how sorrowful Jade was, Tyler couldn't find it in himself to ignore her and just do nothing to ease it. He approached Jade and sat at the empty space of the couch. Afterwards, he pulled her to him, wrapping the frail woman in his warmth. Jade's body went stiff for a moment when she felt being embraced before she turned to look who came to hug her. Red rimmed eyes came in contact with Tyler's hazel eyes. The coldness of his eyes was replaced by something Jade couldn't name. But she tried to name the emotion in his eyes. Sympathy. That was the emotion held in those attractive hazel eyes. "Why are you crying?" The gentleness in his voice was Jade's undoing. After the death of her biological parents and adoptive parents she never heard anyone ask her in this manner. Unthinkingly, she wound her arms around his waist and cried on his chest. Only her sobs could be heard in the room for about 10 minutes, Tyler stroked her head while she cried like a baby. Letting her water work s
Jade ran downstairs as if she was being chased by an enemy. "Good evening, madam, do you need something?" Gregory, Tyler's butler asked when he saw Jade rushing towards the door. Jade stopped dead and breathed in some air. She didn't turn afraid that Tyler was at the stairs looking at her. "Is there a driver that could send me to my apartment?" Jade knew that a high end community like this would not allow cab to enter. "Yes, madam," Gregory replied and approached the intercom to call a driver. "Thanks," Jade said and walked out of the mansion in a haste. A chilly air encased Jade and she remembered that she had forgotten her purpose why she entered the walk-in closet. Her face, neck and ears turned red as Tyler's image on his boxers floated in her mind. She tried to erase the image of his well sculpted body from her mind but they kept coming back. "Madam," Jade was pulled back from her trance when the driver called her. She looked and saw the driver had already opened the rea
Caught in surprise by Tyler's sudden action, she was knocked off balance and stumbled. Her face landed on Tyler's sturdy chest. She was a little dizzy for some time and her forehead hurt a little at the force she collided on his chest. Tyler tilted his head to look at Jade who rested her forehead on his chest. Their eyes met when Jade slowly lifted her head. Tyler frowned when he saw that her forehead was red. Unconsciously, he lifted his hand and caressed her forehead. "Does it hurt?" It took all of Jade's self control to repress her eyes from rolling. She bit her lower lip so that she wouldn't blurt out anything that would agitate this annoying man in front of her taking into account his temper. "No," Jade answered and shrugged her shoulders before stepping backward only to lose her balance once again. With Tyler's fast reflex, he wrapped his arm around her waist to steady her so she wouldn't fall. Jade wanted to dig a hole, clamber into it and hide. It seemed that Tyler en
Angry drivers cursed at Tyler as he maneuvered the car and swerved to another lane cutting some cars in the process. Jade didn't know when and how long she shut her eyes. Her body was shaking and her breathing was erratic. "We're here," Tyler announced, pulling Jade out of her shock. Breaking down, Jade wept for a while and when she finished letting out her frustration, lifting her head she stared at him. "I want a divorce," the words that came out of her mouth caused Tyler to exude a terrifying aura."We aren't getting divorce until we have completed our mission," he said and slammed the steering wheel. The sound of his fist slamming the steering wheel made Jade jump as it evoked fear she felt when she witnessed her parents being murdered. The scene when her parents were killed replayed in her mind. Hidden by her parents in the closet when their house was raided by uniformed men. Almost, cutting her tongue, biting it to smother her scream, Jade watched the men brutally tortured
Jade saw his tender gaze but didn't think so much about it thinking that she was just seeing things and closed her eyes. She waited for Tyler to leave before opening her eyes, but he remained seated at the edge of the bed. "Go and wash your face. The dinner will get cold," Tyler said and walked away when she refused to look at him. Jade tried to decipher the emotion in his tone but couldn't decode it and didn't have the right term to identify it. Jade got up from the bed and it was only then that she remembered what had happened in the car. Three minutes later, she walked into the kitchen. Landing her gaze on the sumptuous meal served on the table, she couldn't help but widened her eyes in surprise. She recognized that it was the ingredients she bought in the supermarket. "Did you ask someone to cook all of this?" Jade couldn't stop from asking. "No," Tyler shook his head. "You know how to cook?" All the more Jade's widened eyes got wider. "Do I look like someone who doesn't
She's a surgeon and it wasn't her first time seeing a man half naked. During her residency she saw several males lying on the operating table half naked and sometimes wearing nothing. And she didn't feel embarrassed. What she felt isn't the same, with her husband on paper, practically flaunting his hot body, she felt her stomach flip."Where are you going," she heard Tyler asked, Jade stopped in her tracks but dared not to look back. "I forgot something in the living room," Jade lied and quickly went out of the room. A smirk was found on his face as he knew she was fleeing. Tyler found her reaction adorable each time she saw his body. Was she so loyal and faithful to her boyfriend that she wouldn't want to look at his body? Why did she agree to marry him if she was loyal and faithful to him? Wait, isn't he missing? She hired a detective to find him. His smirk morphed into a frown at the thought that she was willing to pay a hefty amount just to find him. Jade returned to her r
