Semua Bab Countdown to My Divorce: Bab 471 - Bab 480

Xavier elbowed Tyler."Come on, show some restraint."Tyler took a puff of his cigarette before looking back at Xavier in disdain."An old geezer like you wouldn't understand the kind of energy young people like I have. Drink more chamomile tea when you have nothing better to do."Xavier said huffily, "Quit talking down on me. Also, I'm not an old geezer. I'm a middle-aged geezer. You're not my wife, so how would you know my level of energy in that regard? You rascal…"Tyler chuckled but said nothing.Xavier fell silent. Standing next to Tyler, he opened his mouth again to explain."I'm in great shape. Ask my wife if you don't believe me…"Tyler looked like he couldn't care less; he took a step back and widened the distance between the both of them."I don't benefit even if you're in great shape.Why bother explaining yourself to me?"Xavier was rendered speechless. He opened his mouth to retort again, but didn't know what to say and eventually gave up.Forget it—he was certa

"That's true. She probably hates every single Lewis. William hurt her so deeply, and now she's in a relationship with yet another Lewis."Tyler's eyes narrowed, his carefree and slovenly demeanor earlier all but gone. His eyes glinted dangerously."This is a double-edged sword. The good thing is, being with me makes her William's aunt. She'll forever be a notch higher than him, and it'll dash all of his hopes of them ever reconciling. The bad thing is, if she marries me, rumors about her will abound in Yurelia City. She'll be subjected to much bullying and even public censure."Xavier had to admit that Tyler had thought this through rather thoroughly.Given what Xavier knew of Tyler, he would never mistreat any woman he allowed to be by his side.People in Yurelia City only talked about how odd Tyler was by nature. He was a proud, cold, and hard man. He would do anything he wanted, no matter how much others tried to stop him. If he didn't, it wouldn't matter how much others try to

Was he treating her like a dog?Rachel hurriedly smacked his hand away."Can I ask you something?"Tyler leaned back comfortably in his seat as he cast Rachel a sideways glance, his incisive gaze boring through her."You want to ask about William's uncle, right?"Rachel knew that pretending to be smart in front of Tyler would only be repulsive to him, who was genuinely smart and able to see through her in an instant.She decided to be honest."Yes.""You don't need to ask me that question. William will be at my father's birthday celebration. Since he'll be there, his uncle will surely be there, too."Rachel understood what Tyler left unspoken. He meant that when that day came, she would naturally find out who William's uncle was. There was no need for her to ask that question now.This time, she was going to find out the identity of this secretive man who had been hiding his identity for years.She was becoming increasingly curious about him, especially since she felt some

Cecilia seldom talked about her own problems. Talking about it only made her sadder, and Rachel never probed much about it.Tears started falling down Cecilia's cheeks as she spoke.Rachel grabbed a napkin and wiped Cecilia's tears away, the guilt in her heart reaching its peak."I'm sorry for reminding you of your past.""It's fine, I've gotten used to it," Cecilia said through her sobs. Then, she composed herself and went on, "Come to think of it, if you bring me into the company, will your stepmother and sister say anything? If it's only going to cause you trouble, I'm not going. I've considered my options. I can also set up a stall to earn some money."Rachel refused to agree to that, shutting down the ludicrous idea."What in the world are you thinking about? You are such a capable worker! You would've risen through the ranks in the company if you weren't bogged down by issues at home."Rachel knew how capable Cecilia was, having worked with her for so many years.Cecili

She shut the door immediately.Cecilia, who was walking behind Rachel, almost crashed into her. Seeing how panicked she looked, Cecilia asked, "What's wrong? Why aren't you going in…""Nothing. Wait here for me."With that, she gently pushed Cecilia away before opening the door again and walking in.Tyler had changed into a comfortable white shirt and turned around at the sound of the door opening."I just got changed. You came too late."He made it sound as though Rachel was the lecherous one.She tried to explain herself. "I was trying to protect your privacy, but here you are chiding me instead of thanking me."Tyler strutted toward her and bent over, tapping the tip of her nose gently."Good. You should keep me to yourself and not show it to others."Rachel couldn't help but feel like having a mouth was useless before Tyler. It didn't matter what she thought—all Tyler cared about was his own perspective.In other words, she could save her explanations from now on since t
