Countdown to My Divorce のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 121 - チャプター 130

Rachel didn't bother arguing with Tyler. After all, his appearance had indeed helped her out today.But she wasn't naive enough to believe he did it just for her. Tyler was the kind of man who lived for himself. He wasn't exactly the type to go around doing good deeds out of the kindness of his heart.So she just said plainly, "Thanks for your help today, Mr. Hunt."Tyler rubbed his forehead and glanced at her sideways, clearly dissatisfied with the bare minimum of gratitude."That's it?"Rachel's eyes narrowed slightly. "What else do you want?""Shouldn't a real thank-you come with some action?" He lifted his wrist and checked the time on his watch. "Perfect timing for a late-night snack. I know a great barbecue place. Let's go."Without waiting for a response, Tyler grabbed Rachel by the wrist and started walking toward his car."But I have plans later–""Eat first, talk later."Rachel hadn't expected him to be this pushy, but then again, that was just who Tyler was. He did

Rachel answered honestly, "It's good. I've been here before.""Oh, that's great. Don't say I'm taking advantage of you. I'm actually being pretty fair," Tyler replied before he closed the car door and walked up beside Rachel. He yawned as he did so.Rachel felt like every time she saw Tyler, he always looked half-asleep, like he'd just rolled out of bed. But at the office, he was cold and unapproachable like a completely different person.They picked a window seat and sat down. Rachel glanced at Tyler in his tailored suit which was clearly high-end and probably custom-made. Sitting in a place like this, filled with the smells and grease of street food, he really looked out of place.Tyler scanned the place, and Rachel could tell he was unimpressed. A place like this was always full of smoke and oil. The tables were sticky with grease, and business was so good the owners clearly didn't have time to keep things spotless.She hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't we go somewher

"There's nothing to explain," Rachel said calmly.She knew very well that after what Samantha had just said, there was no way William would believe her. If she ran after them now, it would only make her look guilty.The more she thought about it, the funnier it seemed.Did William really think he and Samantha were innocent?She suddenly had a question on her mind, but at this moment, Tyler was the only one she could ask."Can I ask you something?"Tyler, probably finding it inconvenient to eat with his sleeves down, slowly rolled them up, revealing a portion of his toned forearms. Under the overhead light, his hands looked even fairer and more slender.Rachel swallowed hard. What was going on with her brain lately? Why was she suddenly finding Tyler's hands attractive? Was it just because she hadn't done that in a while?She shook her head and forced the inappropriate thoughts out of her mind.Tyler picked up a beef skewer. Even the way he ate looked mesmerizing to her."Ask

Rachel had no other choice. She couldn't possibly sleep under a bridge. She glanced at her phone. William still hadn't sent her a single message.The look he had given her before leaving the barbecue place was practically burned into her mind. Anger, shock, disappointment, and countless other emotions were all tangled together.Even so, she didn't feel a shred of guilt. In fact, there was even a faint sense of satisfaction.It was just a meal with Tyler, and he had already reacted like that?Now she was starting to look forward to seeing William's face after she left Yurelia City for good. Maybe he'd even thank her for clearing the way so he could be with Samantha."It's fine," she said.Tyler stared at her for a few seconds. "Alright then. Get in."Rachel got back in, and Tyler drove straight to his apartment.-The moment she stepped inside, the place felt unfamiliar."This doesn't look like where you brought me the last time."Tyler casually tossed his suit jacket onto th

"I-It was Samantha."Tyler sneered. "Well, at least you're honest. What else did Samantha say?""She said if I could get some spicy photos of the two of you, she'd give me a bonus."Tyler raised a brow. "How about you come inside now? I'll help you stage a few.""N-No need for that."Now that he'd been caught, he wouldn't dare actually ask Tyler for anything outrageous. He knew perfectly well why Samantha was offering so much money.It was because this man wasn't just anybody. If it were some average guy, she'd never offer that kind of cash. That was the key point."How much did she offer you?" Tyler asked."Seven grand," the guy said nervously, raising seven trembling fingers.Tyler thought for a moment. "I'll give you twenty one thousand. Photograph her instead."The guy looked stunned. "Twenty one grand?"He'd never seen that kind of money in his life. Most of the time, his jobs only paid a few hundred, and maybe a couple grand at most.Nobody had ever offered him this m
