Countdown to My Divorce (Rachel and William) novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54

Despite having his back toward her, Rachel could hear an old man volce; even over Tyler’s phone, it exuded incredible authority.

Rachel had thought that no one in this world could overpower Tyler, given his character.

“I’ll go back soon,” Tyler replied in a low voice.

“I said,” the old man snapped irritably, “come back right now!”

Tyler hung up.

To prevent things from getting awkward between them, Rachel piped up, “Mr. Hunt, I can go back in a taxi by myself.”

“Okay.”

Tyler nodded before opening the door and driving off, leaving her in the dust.

Rachel stood stunned for a moment. She had thought he would at least help her call for a cab, but how could she expect someone like him to be chivalrous?

A die–hard clueless man, that’s him!

She called for a cab with her phone and only realized that there was a huge, black mark on her dress on her way back.

When she finally arrived home, she went straight to her room and opened her wardrobe to pick a new outfit. When she pulled out a shirt, she could smell a whiff of perfume.

She suddenly remembered the day she called William and overheard Samantha talking about liking her clothes and wanting him to buy the same thing.

Even if Rachel didn’t hate Samantha, the thought of someone else wearing her clothes disgusted her.

Rachel had no idea which outfit Samantha touched, so she decided to dump them all into a bag. She was on her way out to throw them into the donation box when she bumped into William, who had just returned.

Seeing the huge bag she was dragging, William pointed at it suspiciously and asked, “What’s all this?”

“Clothes that I don’t want anymore,” Rachel replied indifferently.

William didn’t ask more. It was normal for women to discard clothes they didn’t want anymore.

Rachel pressed the elevator button.

William returned to his room to get changed. When he opened the wardrobe, he realized that all of Rachel’s clothes were gone.

His brows furrowed.

He had handpicked all of her clothes for her. She didn’t bear to wear them unless it was for a special occasion. How could she possibly throw them all away?

When Rachel came back, William approached her; he pulled her hand and stared at her. “Those were clothes I bought for you. How could you throw them away?”

“I just thought they were outdated. No one wears them nowadays.

Though Rachel felt her hands in William’s, she could smell the pungent perfume on his clothes. She knew the scent belonged to Samantha–it was the exact scent she had noticed upon entering Samantha’s office today.

Her lips drew into a sardonic smirk.

These two didn’t even bother to cover up their tracks properly.
