Countdown to My Divorce (Rachel and William) novel Chapter 558

“I’ve got to go. Check on that thing for me. It’s important,” Rachel said.

“Got it,” Vander replied.

After hanging up, Rachel ran to the bathroom and yanked the door open. A cloud of steam rolled out, the heat washing over her like a wave.

She couldn’t see anything at first. Eventually, Tyler’s silhouette came into view. He hadn’t bothered to get dressed yet and stood there completely unfazed, right in front of her.

“What’s this? Rushing in to sneak a peek?”

Rachel was close to hurling a slipper at his smug face. This guy was ridiculously full of himself.

Then again, he kind of had the right to be. If she looked half as good as he did, she would probably be more shameless than him.

Without thinking, Rachel’s gaze drifted to his inner thigh. But after only a couple of seconds, her heartbeat spiked.

This was way too awkward.

Tyler instantly picked up on her strange behavior. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms. She crashed into his chest before she could react. His body was still radiating heat from the shower, and even through her clothes, she could feel the warmth seeping into her skin.

So she decided to throw her pride out the window and double down on flattery.

“No particular reason. I was just appreciating your physique. I read online that you can predict a man’s life expectancy by looking at his thighs.”

Tyler raised a brow, not looking the least bit suspicious.

She felt his gaze grow hotter and heavier. Rachel swallowed hard, praying she wouldn’t dig herself into a

hole she couldn’t climb out of.

To her surprise, Tyler didn’t refuse. In fact, he casually offered, “Well, go ahead then.”

He stood there tall and unbothered, and Rachel suddenly felt her courage crumbling.

But she had to do this. She had to find out the truth.

Biting her lip, she crouched down in front of him, carefully avoiding eye contact. Her breathing grew

uneven as the nerves kicked in, and her warm breath brushed against his skin.

What Rachel didn’t realize was that Tyler’s gaze was intensifying by the second. Something primal
