Countdown to My Divorce のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 481 - チャプター 490

Rachel thought for a moment before blurting out, "What about Tyler?"Cecilia rubbed her chin. "Tyler is great, sure, but the thing is, I don't know. I always get the feeling he's a little cold, you know what I mean?"Rachel knew exactly what Cecilia meant. Tyler did give off the vibe of someone who wouldn't step up for anyone unless it personally affected him.That was the reputation he had in their circle. If it wasn't his problem, he wouldn't get involved.After thinking it over, Rachel said, "Honestly, you shouldn't jump to conclusions. Who knows what kind of person William's uncle really is? He could be even weirder than Tyler. Maybe even a total creep or something, right?"Cecilia nodded quickly in agreement."You're right. I mean, who can say for sure? The guy's always off the radar. No one in the circle has heard anything about him for years. He could have some serious mental issues, for all we know."The more they talked, the more their imaginations ran wild."Or he cou

Rachel didn't say anything more."Alright then, just eat up while it's hot."Cecilia had quite an appetite, and with Wanda's cooking being so delicious, she practically wiped the table clean.She grabbed a napkin and wiped her mouth."By the way, are you planning to take over Lloyd Enterprise?"Rachel nodded. "That's the plan for now. At least, while my dad's still around. I can't let the day come when he hears that the company he built was destroyed by Yvette and Sasha.""You're right. Lloyd Enterprise is your father's legacy. What do Yvette and Sasha know, anyway? All they do is stir up nonsense. If your dad hadn't held things together these past few years, the company would've gone under already."Rachel had spent a lot of time thinking about it. Taking over the company wasn't a rash decision. It was the result of careful consideration."But it's not going to be easy to take over. You know how those two are. They're not going to hand over control of the company without a fig

After hearing what Rachel said, Tyler seemed to seriously consider it for a moment before finally agreeing with her point."I think you're right. Who knows? Maybe in the future, I'll end up with a jealous girl who overthinks everything I say, gets sensitive over my jokes, and throws a fit if I talk to another woman for too long. Yeah, thanks for the heads-up."Rachel was caught off guard by his comment. He didn't even have a shadow of a girlfriend yet, and here he was so sure that whoever he ended up with would be the jealous type.She scoffed at his display of confidence."Tyler, aren't you jumping the gun a bit? For all you know, your future girlfriend could be a submissive lady like Samantha."Rachel had actually wanted to say she might even be a total shrew, but then thought better of it.With someone like Tyler, who was already headstrong, bossy, and domineering, it was hard to imagine him going for an equally aggressive woman. That kind of match wouldn't look like a relat

The scent of chamomile from Tyler's shampoo still lingered in the air. It was fresh and calming, making it hard to stay awake.Rachel let out a yawn. "Stop talking already. Let me keep going."All she wanted now was to lull Tyler to sleep as quickly as possible.Tyler rested his head on Rachel's lap without hesitation. "Go on."Rachel looked at him. Could he not be like this?On second thought, if she kept wasting time arguing with him, he might stay awake until sunrise.So she started making things up."William's uncle might have some sort of deformity, who knows? Maybe there's something wrong with his face. That would explain why he never shows up anywhere. Either he's horribly disfigured, or just like the psychos in those movies. I mean, something's definitely off."Tyler's brows twitched as he listened. Rachel was basically describing him as a monster.Just as he lifted his head, ready to ask for more detail, he noticed Rachel's head drooping. Her lips parted slightly, and

Tyler even had to interfere with what Rachel wore.It didn't matter. It's not like she dressed very boldly, anyway. Her usual style was fairly conservative.Rachel casually picked out a professional-looking outfit. After all, she was bringing Cecilia in for her first day on the job, and she had to look the part. Confidence was key.She figured Cecilia's résumé had already reached HR by now, which meant Yvette and Sasha probably already knew about it too.After changing, Rachel asked offhandedly, "Where's Tyler?""He left early this morning for a meeting at the office," Wanda replied.Rachel hesitated before asking, "Did he sleep well last night?"Wanda was briefly stunned by the question. "I'm not sure, Ms. Lloyd. Shouldn't you be the one who knows?"They had spent the night in the same room, after all. If anyone should know how Tyler slept, it should be her.Realizing how awkward that sounded, Rachel quickly tried to explain, "I meant, Wanda, did you notice if Tyler got up in
