Second Chance at Life and Love のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

Kelsey had never recalled her past with Tyler in such detail. Looking back, she realized how long they had been tangled in this mess together.Over the years, the only thing she had absolute confidence in was that Tyler loved her. Yet, now that she had decided to accept him and start anew, why would he suddenly choose to give up?Why did he publicly announce that he was breaking off the engagement with her? Had he become so thoroughly disappointed with her that he decided to find a new lover?The more Kelsey thought about it, the sadder she became. Her emotions were especially intensified since she had been drinking that night.A gust of wind blew past, and she shuddered from the cold. She lowered her head and huddled up. After some time, her heavy eyelids began to droop… When Tyler returned to Hampville, he noticed Kelsey’s figure from a distance. The light-yellow dress on her was particularly eye-catching under the streetlight.Her curly hair was all messed up from the wind, a

She immediately grabbed the lace bra to cover her body and glared at the man who was still staring at her.“Why are you… here?” she stammered as she spoke.“I was just bringing you some hot tea!” Tyler explained with a pout.The entire time, his gaze was still fixed on Kelsey’s naked body. Her skin was fair, smooth, and glowing under the faint light above. Although her arms were across her body, it was not enough to cover her voluptuous figure.Tyler felt as if somebody had set his body on fire and could feel himself burning up. As his Adam's apple bobbed seductively, he felt like a starving wolf eying its prey.Kelsey was taken aback as she did not expect him to show up with hot tea. However, hot tea was the last thing she wanted now.Her cheeks continued to burn while she said, “I don't want it anymore. Please go outside!”However, instead of leaving, Tyler proceeded to strut toward her. He had taken off his suit jacket before that and only had on a royal blue shirt paired w

Kelsey also felt a splitting headache. “Yeah,” she answered weakly, “just a little fever.”She must have caught a cold while waiting for Tyler to come home last night.Tyler reached forward to touch her forehead and said, “I’ll take you to the hospital!”“No need!” Kelsey refused almost instinctively. “Just go to work, and don't worry about me!”Her entire body felt drained, and she did not feel like going anywhere. Soon, she dozed off again.As she drifted in and out of sleep, she could hear Tyler calling his private doctor.“How is she?”After some time, Tyler stood by the bed speaking to Doctor Ramone, the Langs’ family doctor, who was inspecting Kelsey’s condition.He took off his stethoscope and informed dutifully, “It's nothing serious. She just caught a cold. I’ve given her a standard dosage of injection, and here is some medicine. Just make sure she takes them on time, and she will be fine.”Tyler's frown eased upon hearing that.Before leaving, Doctor Ramone gave a

Kelsey blinked in confusion. “What are you doing?”Tyler made a face. “I’m feeding you!”“I’m not disabled!” Kelsey objected on instinct.“But you’re sick!” Tyler stated sternly.Kelsey pouted. “I’m sick, but I can still use my hands!” A trace of concern flashed across Tyler’s face. “Still, you’re sick!”Silence took over. It was unbelievable to think they would be at a statement over a spoonful of soup!Kelsey turned away and ignored him.Tyler gently prompted her, “It’s going to get cold if you don't eat.”When Kelsey continued to ignore him, Tyler teased her with a look. “Well, what if I finish it?”Kelsey thought about it for a second and decided that she could not suffer being hungry. Hence, she turned around and opened her mouth.“Be good…” Tyler coaxed her as though he was coaxing a child.With that, Kelsey allowed him to spoon-feed her one spoonful of soup after another. The fact that he was willing to take care of her filled her heart with warmth.After Tyler had

Kelsey and Tyler sat facing each other in the dining room. Tyler kept his head down while eating and never stole even a glance at her.Kelsey could not help but feel defeated. Was he unhappy with her wearing a dress? Perhaps he would prefer a more casual, frilly dress?“Tyler, you don’t like me wearing this dress, do you?” Kelsey could not help but ask.“I don’t mind it,” Tyler answered indifferently.Kelsey doubted he was telling the truth. If that was the case, why would he not look at her?Unbeknownst to her, Tyler did not look at her because she looked far too sexy.After breakfast, Tyler finally turned up to look at her and announced, “I’m taking you home!”Kelsey's heart sank again. He was taking her home? She was hoping to stay with him for a few more days.“Can I please stay?” She tried to plead.The look in Tyler's eyes deepened slightly, but he reminded her expressionlessly, “You have stayed here for two days.”Kelsey’s expression stiffened. She was planning to st
