Semua Bab Countdown to My Divorce: Bab 641 - Bab 650

“Yale, are you trying to get yourself fired?”Tyler’s voice was restrained, as if he was about to explode the next second.Yale shrank his neck at once. “Why don’t we go ask Ms. Lloyd directly about what happened?”Tyler turned to Xavier. “Mr. Lloyd will be in your care. If anything happens, let me know immediately.”“Got it.”After leaving the hospital with Yale, Tyler quickly tracked down the hotel Rachel was staying at.-Rachel was just about to start drafting her fourth proposal when Jerry hurried over.“Rachel, he’s here!”“Who’s here?” Rachel never expected it to be Tyler. After all, he seemed so busy these past few days that he barely had time to breathe, let alone come to her.“Tyler,” Jerry said.Rachel’s fingers froze on the keyboard. The next second, her pupils dilated.“What did you say?!”“I said Tyler’s here. He’s already in the elevator.”Rachel panicked. “You should’ve told me earlier! Hurry, help me clean this place up!”The two of them scrambled around

But if she agreed to Tyler now, what about the proposal in her hands? Her schedule was already tight.With Yvette having just been taken in, Rachel needed to follow up on that immediately. If Yvette managed to find a way out, all the time and effort she had invested would go to waste. She couldn’t afford to fail at this stage.Jerry, standing to the side, seemed to notice Rachel’s hesitation and spoke up on his own.“Mr. Hunt, if you’re too tired, you could take a sleeping pill. I have some in my bag.”Tyler turned his head, glancing past Rachel. His eyes instinctively locked onto Jerry, and Rachel could practically smell the hostility in the air.She repeatedly gave Jerry warning looks. Normally, he would have understood and held back. But today, for reasons she couldn’t quite place, Jerry was clearly emotional—and she didn’t know why.Tyler’s voice came out cold.“I have a girlfriend to lull me to sleep. Why would I need sleeping pills?”It was a blunt, cutting retort.Jerry

Tyler lounged against the headboard.“What, you planning to scoop up all those college boys too?” he asked.Rachel stared at his dead-serious expression and pursed her lips. His eyes could send a chill through anyone—though, by now, she was used to it.She leaned closer and studied his face. Tyler lowered his eyes, giving her the briefest glance.“What are you looking at? Answer the question.”Rachel suddenly smiled. “Tyler, you do realize you’re jealous right now.”At the word jealous, Tyler scoffed, pointing to himself in disbelief. “You think I’d get jealous?”“I mean, anyone would. It’s normal. Who wouldn’t?” She edged even closer, her forehead bumping his chin by accident. “What, you’re saying you’re not human?”Tyler reached out and pinched her cheek. “If I’m not human, then what does that make you? Does it also mean you're sleeping with an animal?”Rachel froze, completely caught off guard by his bluntness. Typical Tyler—his words never had guardrails, always raw and un

Jerry couldn’t help but admire Rachel. In the end, he gave in.“Rachel, whatever you say goes.”Rachel looked at him—early twenties, the perfect age for dating—yet he buried himself in work every single day. Whatever debt he thought he owed her over the years, she figured he had pretty much paid it back by now.She tested the waters.“Jerry, have you ever thought about dating someone?”The word dating caught him off guard.“Rachel, do you think I’m a little slow? Is that why you suddenly want me to date? Or do you think I’m bothering you by sticking around?”The sharp edge in his demeanor vanished. He suddenly looked more like a boy than a man, vulnerable, as if she had scolded him for something he hadn’t done.She hurried to reassure him.“No, Jerry, that’s not what I meant. I just think you’re at the right age. Dating can actually be fun. You’re always by yourself, and honestly, it worries me. Look, I’ve got a boyfriend now, and I want you to have someone who can spend time

Rachel didn't bother with politeness anymore. A woman like Sasha didn’t deserve her respect.Had Sasha treated Jim even halfway decently, knowing the kind of man he was, he never would’ve left her with nothing.Unfortunately, her greed was boundless.Rachel’s eyes narrowed with disdain.“Sasha, let’s cut to the chase. You and I both know that even if my dad goes through more tests, and even if the doctors say he’s under stress, it doesn’t change the fact that he’s perfectly sane. His mind is sharp, and he hasn’t done anything irrational. That means his will is valid. End of story.”Sasha scoffed, brushing her off. “Please. You think I’m going to buy that? If your dad’s unstable, then his will doesn’t stand. Something like that can’t be left to one person. It has to be discussed by the whole family.”Rachel glanced coldly at her. “Discuss it with whom? You? A woman on the verge of divorce? Tell me, Sasha, what’s there to discuss with you?”“So what if I’m divorcing him? Right now
