Rachel's face flushed with embarrassment at Tyler's quip."Can you please be more reserved about it?"Tyler tightened the hug and rubbed his face against hers. His voice was low and sensuous as he spoke up for himself. "I'm being intimate with my girlfriend. Why should I bother being reserved?"He bent forward and kissed her on the lips."You need to be brave in expressing your love. That'll help make us closer."Rachel suddenly felt the temperature rise with his kiss. Her head was in a mess; she felt herself being led by the nose by Tyler.She leaned into his embrace. Tyler held the back of her neck with one hand while tucking away the stray hair on her forehead."That's going too far."An image of Tyler popped into her mind.In it, he was worlds apart from his usual style. To outsiders, he was cold and distant, calm and mature, reserved, and always kept others at bay. No one could walk into his heart.Yet, he was passionate and eager in bed, always capable of stirring up

Anne and Sheryn looked at Rachel, eyes wide with shock.Rachel didn't expect to get caught eavesdropping.The three ladies exchanged glances with each other. Finally, Anne explained anxiously, "Um… Ms. Lloyd, you should know Ms. Lyons, right? She's Tyler's cousin."Rachel crossed her arms before her chest and leaned against the table by the side, surveying Sheryn from head to toe."Of course, I do. Come to think of it, you have nothing to do with Tyler now. Or did you run out of the money Howard gave you?"Rachel admitted that her words weren't pleasant to hear. Sheryn had given false testimony to help Howard. Although that matter was still left hanging, Rachel believed that the truth would come to light one day.Sheryn scoffed, her face sullen as it always was whenever she saw Rachel."Don't give me that! I've long broken off contact with Howard Ziegler. That fool is no match for my cousin. That's all there is to him. It won't take long for him to fall from glory."Rachel wa

"I didn't expect Ms. Lloyd to put her life at risk just to save me. That fact alone made me rethink whether she really was as bad as Sheryn described her to be."Sheryn, panicky and fearful, hurriedly interrupted Anne. "How long have you known her for? It's only been a few days! Don't be fooled by her!"Compared to her, Anne was very clear-headed and calm."I admit that I still had my doubts toward Ms. Lloyd just now, but when you tried to shift all the blame to me, it strengthened my faith in my own judgment. She's a good woman, but you've never treated me as a friend since the beginning. You're just using me."Sheryn no longer cared about what Anne thought of her. Indeed, Anne was just a pawn in her eyes, a tool she needed to ruin Rachel. A pity that this pawn was so useless!She had to save herself right now.Sheryn turned her attention to Tyler and said pleadingly, "Tyler, you must believe me! I had nothing to do with this. You know that Anne's jealous of Rachel. I helped h

They were his family, and it was hard for him to cut ties with them. To ask Tyler to give up on something like that was a difficult request. Yet, he did exactly that and extricated himself from that mess. That was what Rachel admired the most. Not everyone was capable of doing that. Tyler could understand Rachel's thinking and respected her for it. He rubbed her shoulders affectionately."I can understand. Don't worry."Rachel's furrowed brows finally unravelled. She could feel the barriers of her heart lowering. She leaned into his embrace and wrapped her arms around his waist. Taking in his scent always had the effect of calming her.A moment later, Yale walked in. This time, he was very careful not to interrupt them and instead turned around to leave. To his surprise, Rachel called out to him."Yale."Yale stopped in his tracks and turned to face Rachel. Given what had happened before, he took the initiative to explain himself. "I didn't mean to interrupt."Rachel smil

With that, Wilma hung up. Tyler's brows furrowed, his face dark with anger. Rachel also heard what Wilma said over the phone.She stared at Tyler for a few seconds before saying, "Why don't…we drop charges? I didn't end up getting hurt despite the act they put on."Tyler turned to look at her and said solemnly, "Rachel, tell me. What do you consider hurt? Did you forget how it felt like staring death in the face? Do you know what the doctor told me when I sent you to the hospital?"His usually calm and composed demeanor was all but gone, his emotions slipping out of control. Veins popped on his forehead; his voice sounded lower than usual, as if he was trying his damnedest to suppress his anger.Rachel could tell that Tyler was truly furious this time. She patted his shoulder gently and said comfortingly, "Alright, alright. I know you did it for my good. I was wrong, and I'm sorry for upsetting you. Then again, there's another problem. If you don't drop charges and keep Sheryn
