“I have some time now. I’ll go with you,” Cecilia said supportively.
“Sure. I’ll head over to you right now.”
Rachel suddenly felt thankful for the car Tyler gave her, although she still found it way too extravagant a
gift. Then again, she could always return the car to Tyler once they terminate their contract.
After hanging up, Rachel packed some of her things and thought of giving Cecilia some sanitary pads.
Cecilia wouldn’t need to buy sanitary pads for a while.
The moment she stood up, she felt a tug at her abdomen and hissed in pain. She took a deep breath and
started cursing.
Who in the world invented something as nasty as the period? And why did women have to suffer, and not
men?!
Rachel shook her head. She didn’t have much time left to ponder these questions. She bounded down the
stairs and caught a whiff of freshly cooked soup.
Wanda walked out, a ladle in hand, and smiled cheerfully at Rachel upon seeing her. “Ms. Lloyd, come
have a taste of this. Mr. Hunt made me…”
Tyler suddenly cleared his throat.
Wanda immediately corrected herself. “You’re having your period right now. It’s a great chance to get
some nourishing foods in.”
Rachel pursed her lips. “But Wanda, I need to head out for a while. I’ll be back soon, so why don’t you keep
some for me later?”
Tyler looked up from the document he was reading. “Where are you going at this hour?”
“Cecilia asked me out,” Rachel said as frankly as she could.
Tyler glanced at the sky outside. The clouds looked heavy and it felt very windy, as though signalling an impending storm.
“Tell her to take a cab here.”
“It’s so late, and you want her to cab here? How is she going to go back home from here?”
Getting a cab elsewhere would have been possible, but given how secluded Tyler’s place was, getting a cab at this hour was close to impossible.
Tyler tilted his chin upward. “There are so many rooms upstairs. Can’t you pick one for her?”

Rachel naturally knew about the vacant rooms upstairs, but she wanted to pick out a present. How could she do that by staying here?
Her heart wasn’t made of stone. Although they weren’t truly a couple, she couldn’t deny how well Tyler
treated her.
Even as a fake couple, it was only responsible of her to make Tyler look good in front of his family. She
couldn’t let him get looked down upon.
Rachel decided to cook up an excuse. “If you make Cecilia come here, what’s going to happen to her child at home? Her mother–in–law has returned to her home in the countryside.”
Tyler put down the document in his hands and stood up to grab his jacket hanging over the back of the
chair he was sitting in.
“I’ll send you there.”
Rachel stood stunned. Why did Tyler suddenly feel like a dad?
She laughed. “Tyler, I’m an adult, not a schoolgirl! This place of yours may be dark and secluded, but the
city is brightly lit.”
Tyler arched a brow. “So you want to move to the city?”
