Countdown to My Divorce (Rachel and William) novel Chapter 623

Chapter 623

Rachel had no idea that Tyler didn’t just start knowing her only recently.

He had known her since she was very young. His attention had been on her since the first time they met. He had been doing so quietly and from afar, where she couldn’t see him and knew nothing.

Tyler rested his chin on his palm; instead of getting angry, his interest was piqued. He looked dotingly at her, a curious glint flashing past the depths of his deep, dark eyes.

“Sure. Help me set up a fortune–telling stall, and I’ll start work once I recover.”

Rachel had just said that in passing. Given how flawless Tyler looked–what with his exquisite features, high cheekbones, and sharp nose–women wouldn’t go to him to have their fortunes told. No, they’d go to

him to check him out.

Rachel turned her face away and rejected him.

“We’ll talk about that after you become bankrupt.”

Tyler looked pitifully at Rachel, his eyes glistening; he looked completely different from his usual cold

aloofness.

“Will you take care of me if I really go bankrupt?”

Of course, Rachel could tell that Tyler was just putting on an act. She decided to play along.

She grabbed Tyler’s arm and said dramatically, “Don’t worry. At most, we can do deliveries. As long as I have money for food, I’ll make sure you have bowls to clean. You’ll never go hungry.”

Tyler laughed and pulled his arm out of Rachel’s hands. “Scram!”

Rachel burst out laughing. “You started it first! I was just playing along with you.”

Tyler composed himself, and his mood turned serious once more. He grabbed Rachel’s hand, rubbing the

back of it with his fingers.

“Tell me more about your act of heroism. What exactly did you tell Steven Ziegler that made him so angry that he was sent to the hospital?”

Rachel replied cautiously, being very selective with her response.

“I didn’t say anything much. I know he wouldn’t spare you, so I decided to go all out and make my stance clear. I think I harped too much on how he condoned Howard’s behavior and agitated him to the point of

no return.”

Tyler didn’t doubt her words.

“Steven Ziegler dotes on Howard very much. He’s the only son of the family, after all. It’s just that Steven

refuses to accept reality. Given how he has spoiled Howard, even if you gave Howard a hundred years.

before taking over the family business, the guy would squander their entire family fortune.”

“Does he really have no idea?” Rachel asked.

Tyler could more or less guess what was going through Steven’s mind.

“What’s done is done. The only thing Steven can do right now is pave the way for Howard as much as he can while he’s still alive. Once he’s gone, he won’t be able to do anything.”

Rachel nodded. “That’s true. A dead person won’t have any say in the matters of the living.”

The next day, Tyler and Yale packed up and got ready to leave. Tyler’s gaze lingered on Rachel, who was

still fast asleep. His fingers gently caressed her cheeks.

He didn’t know when he could see her again. He was bracing himself for a long, treacherous battle at

work.
