Countdown to My Divorce (Rachel and William) novel Chapter 201

Chapter 201

“Yeah, what a shame. I thought he’d go for someone mature like you. Never thought he’d like the plain and bland type.”

Rachel instinctively looked down at herself. ‘Plain and bland-‘ She didn’t think she looked that bad. They had to be exaggerating.

“Hey, how long are you planning to sit there? My legs are going numb,” Tyler said softly by her ear.

Rachel quickly got off his lap. Somehow, it felt like Tyler was mocking her.

“I’m not even that heavy.”

She was slightly over one hundred and seventy pounds. That was hardly heavy.

“Oh, really?” Tyler’s tone was nonchalant as his eyes slowly scanned her body like he was inspecting her.

Rachel pouted and didn’t feel like talking to him anymore. Ever since he had left her to fend for herself at the villa, she had decided to keep her distance. This drink was just to repay a favor and nothing more.

She lowered her head and took a sip of her drink.

It was sweet and didn’t have the usual harsh burn of alcohol. Her brows relaxed. This was actually pretty good. She ended up

taking a few more sips.

Arms crossed and leaning against the couch, Tyler eyed her. “What’s this? You said you’d drink with me, but you’re just drinking

alone now.”

Rachel hesitated for a second. She then turned and gently clinked her glass against his.

Tyler chuckled and tipped his glass back. He finished it in one gulp. He picked up the bottle and refilled both their glasses.

“Are you not worried? If William sees you here, or if his family finds out, they’ll come after you.”

Rachel’s brows furrowed slightly. “You sound like you know the Lewis family pretty well.”

“I had some dealings with them in the past,” Tyler replied casually

Rachel recalled seeing a car that had looked like Tyler’s when she left the Lewis family estate earlier.

It had looked similar to the one he was driving now. But she hadn’t gotten a good look, so she wasn’t sure.

She tested the waters. “Mr. Hunt, did you happen to drop by the Lewis family estate today?”

“Nope,” he answered without even a pause.

Rachel didn’t press further.

Given how bad things were between Tyler and the Lewis family, it didn’t make much sense for him to go there.

Tyler slowly turned his glass. The golden liquid swirled along the sides.

“The Oasis project is launching tomorrow. I heard you already resigned from Lewis Enterprise.”

Rachel didn’t see any reason to hide it. “Yeah, I quit.”

Tyler raised a brow. “So what’s next? Are you going to stay home and be William’s full–time wife?”

Rachel smiled sarcastically. “Maybe.”

Something flickered in Tyler’s eyes. “You really are loyal, huh?”
