Countdown to My Divorce (Rachel and William) novel Chapter 474

Chapter 474

“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 persuade him.

What they didn’t know was the reason people scramble to be in his good books despite how eccentric he was, and why so many wanted to work for him.

The reason was simple–Tyler believed that as long as you took your work seriously and did as told properly, you would be duly compensated.

Xavier’s understanding of Tyler made him doubly curious as to what Tyler would do.

“Will you bring her to your father’s birthday celebration?”

“Of course. I should have brought her home a long time ago. If she hadn’t run away five years ago…”

She would have become his legally wedded wife.

This time, Tyler would never allow her to escape him.

The thought of what would potentially happen made Xavier’s head pound.

“Doesn’t look like you’re going there to celebrate your father’s birthday. You look more like you’re preparing to go there and cause trouble.”

Tyler took the tube of ointment the staff handed to him. “He was the one who asked me to get a girlfriend since I wasn’t getting any younger.”

Xavier had the urge to laugh as he walked back to his consultation foom with Tyler. “Your father wants you to get a girlfriend, not William’s ex–wife…”

By the time they returned to the consultation room, the nurse was one applying ointment on Rachel’s wound. They saw her walking out.

Xavier reminded Rachel, “Please quit tormenting each other during this period. Let your body rest and recuperate.”

Rachel blushed, and even her ears turned red. She instinctively stated explaining herself to Xavier.

“Dr. Jenkins, we…”

Xavier raised a hand. “You don’t need to explain. I understand.”

Rachel wanted to say more, but a patient was sent in at that moment, requiring urgent attention.

“Head back home,” Xavier said. “I’ve got to get back to work.”

Tyler left the hospital with Rachel, who was thoroughly embarrassed by the look Xavier gave her just now.

Annoyed, she said, “Can you please exercise some self–control in front of others?”
