Semua Bab Countdown to My Divorce: Bab 451 - Bab 460

Just as William pulled open the office door, he ran into someone he had been wanting to see but dreaded facing at the same time—Rachel.Rachel hadn't expected to bump into William here, either. Tyler had already taken her home, but she received a last-minute message that there had been a breakthrough in Jim's case.She didn't need to guess who was behind it. No one but Tyler could have pulled it off in such a short time.And so, she rushed over to thank him and to take care of something else.William had recently been preparing to contact overseas partners to restart an old project. If he could land the deal, all of his current problems would be resolved.Would Rachel allow that to happen?From the moment William had done everything in his power to destroy Jim, they were no longer strangers—they were enemies. William had ruined her reputation and made her carry the blame for his and Samantha's actions for years. And now, with Jim's days numbered, William had still tried to falsel

Tyler's eyes held a hint of amusement.Rachel, at her core, was still quite traditional. Last night had technically been her first time with Tyler, and she wasn't nearly as bold or shameless as he was when it came to talking about such things.Tyler was different. He had never known shame. There was nothing he couldn't say with a straight face.Rachel suddenly realized that if she didn't want to get completely overpowered by Tyler, she'd have to grow a thicker skin than his.With a look of disdain, she muttered, "Your kissing skills aren't that great, either. It's pretty average."Instead of being provoked, Tyler just smiled, as if she had said exactly what he was hoping for.Rachel frowned slightly. Something about that smile didn't sit right with her. It had the air of a trap that had just been sprung.The next second, Tyler leaned down, pulled her in by the waist, and kissed her again. He murmured, "Well then, if I'm so bad at it, we'd better keep practicing."Rachel didn't

"If you don't know how, I can teach you," Tyler said calmly.Rachel's hand froze mid-air. Sometimes, she genuinely wanted to punch him—or better yet, crack open his skull just to see what the hell was going on in there.She rolled her eyes at him. "If you already know how to do it, then why are you asking me?""I don't feel like moving. My arms are sore," he replied shamelessly.Rachel couldn't hold back anymore. She reached out and gave his face a hard pinch."Tyler, is your face made of reinforced concrete? How can someone have skin this thick?"She had always thought William was shameless, but Tyler? He was on a whole different level. He could handle soft or hard, push or pull. Nothing fazed him. Even if the sky was falling, Tyler always had a comeback sharp enough to punch a hole right through it."You could carry a picture of my face around, and people would know it's me," he said.Rachel nearly choked.Now she finally understood why there was that saying in Yurelia City

"Not bad. For someone's first time, this is already pretty good," Rachel said."Let me have a taste."Before Rachel could even finish her sentence, Tyler held the back of her head and pressed his warm lips against hers. She didn't even have a chance to resist. He kissed her deeply and held her close.A moment later, he reluctantly let her go. Satisfaction was written all over his face, as if he had just tasted the perfect bowl of chicken soup."Mm, not bad. Tell her to make more next time."Rachel thought Tyler was seriously shameless. If his cousin ever found out that the chicken soup she painstakingly made all ended up in Rachel's stomach, she would probably want to skin Rachel alive.As soon as Rachel left Tyler's office, people inside started gossiping."Holy crap, no way! I've never seen any woman stay that long in Mr. Hunt's office.""Ms. Lyons dropped by just now, too. How come there wasn't a fight?""Are you dumb? Do you think Mr. Hunt likes women fighting over him?

Jason rubbed the spot between his brows. "I don't know exactly who William's uncle is, either. I only heard he's mysterious as hell. But Tyler does have some ties to the Lewis family. If you really want to know, you're better off asking him."Rachel felt like she was developing some kind of trauma from constantly being lied to by men.She had to get a solid answer out of Jason."Mr. Denzel, how can you be so sure that Tyler would know who William's uncle is?"Jason only gave her one answer."No one knows better than he does."Rachel got the message.Jason drove her home, and after Rachel thanked him, she was just about to get out of the car.Jason decided to give Tyler one last push."Ms. Lloyd."Rachel turned around. "Something else?""Do you know who set up yesterday's puzzle?"Rachel thought of the game from last night. It had surprised her, because it really was a one-of-a-kind puzzle. She had even looked it up online afterward.Nobody had solved it except her.Rache
