Countdown to My Divorce (Rachel and William) novel Chapter 555

Chapter 555

Rachel glared at Tyler, giving him a look like she had just been yanked from a heartfelt moment straight into wanting to punch someone.

She propped herself up and tilted her head toward him.

“Tyler, do me a favor and explain what exactly you meant by not messing with someone’s dog unless they’re ready to deal with the owner.”

Tyler gave a sheepish grin and reached over to pat her on the head again. “Oh, come on. Don’t be so petty, Rachel. It was just a metaphor. I wasn’t actually saying you’re a dog.”

Rachel was silent, then swatted his hand away.

“You might as well not have explained.”

Trying to explain just made it worse.

Once they got back to the apartment, Tyler opened the door, tossed his keys on the table, shrugged off his

jacket, and casually called out to Wanda.

“Wanda, just whip up something simple. Keep the spice down. Light and plain.”

Wanda poked her head out from the kitchen, clearly aware why they hadn’t stayed to eat at the family

“Traitor. After all those years I fed you and raised you, and now a pretty girl shows up and you’re ready to

move out. I bet you’d even follow her to the dog butchers if she asked.”

Rachel burst into laughter and cradled Ray’s fluffy head, tilting her head with a grin.

“Is that true? Are you this loyal to me? Would you really go to the dog butchers with me if I asked?”

Whether Ray understood or not, he just kept staring at Rachel with those big puppy eyes, full of emotion and innocence.

Rachel chuckled and muttered, “You know, sometimes I think dogs are way more devoted than men.

Look at those eyes. Nothing but love.”

She leaned in to nuzzle Ray, and the dog clearly loved every second of it.

Tyler, meanwhile, froze mid–sip of water and gave her a side–eye.

“Oh, that’s how it is now? Repaying kindness with shade? Look at you, picking up metaphors and

throwing them right back. Fast learner.”

He had just teased her earlier with the whole ‘dog and owner‘ thing, and now here she was, casually
