“Still thinking about leaving?” Tyler asked.
He spread his hands casually, his expression calm and unbothered–as if Rachel’s reaction didn’t worry him in the slightest.
There was a kind of detachment in his demeanor, the kind that only came from someone who had seen the world and lived through enough to no longer be shaken by it.
Given that he had already promised not to get too close to the Lewis family, Rachel felt she still had some
control over the situation.
All these years, Tyler had never been close to William, and she knew for a fact he wasn’t someone who
forgave easily—especially not those who had hurt him.
Rachel understood exactly what William’s weak spot was. He was terrified of her actually being with
Tyler.
That alone would torment him for life.
If word got out, William would be the one to suffer the most. Everyone in Yurelia City would talk behind
his back. Not only would he become the talk of the town, but he would also face pressure from Rachel

Leia stood her ground. “I swear I wasn’t mistaken. It was her. You’ll see for yourselves in a minute!”

Just as she finished speaking, another maid at the door called out.
“Mr. Hunt and Ms. Lloyd have arrived.”
Everyone in the room–including Cassandra, Thomas, and the rest of the extended Lewis family–turned
to look at the entrance.
Rachel recognized almost every face in the room. She had seen most of them years ago at her wedding to
William.
It was funny to think she might have needed time to ‘get to know‘ them. It turned out they were all
familiar faces.
Only now, she wasn’t sure how to address any of them.
Cassandra’s face went pale the moment she saw Rachel, like she had just seen an actual ghost.
“Rachel! Why won’t you just disappear? You divorced William, and now you’re with Tyler? Is this some
