Chapter153.
Caitlyn cried, “Kaylie, you’re going to end up just like me! Kaylie, I hate you! As long as I live, I swear, I won’t let you get away with this!”
Then, the lobby fell into an oppressive silence.
My legs trembled, threatening to give way. Tyrell steadied me with a strong arm around my waist.
Allen’s face was etched with deep concern.”Look at you. How much have you suffered? It breaks my heart to see this.”
Tyrell swept me up and carried me in his arms. “Since you made me your fiancé, I’ll fulfill my role. I’ll protect you from now on.”
I smaXXed my forehead lightly.”No, Tyrell, wait… I’m sorry. I just… I couldn’t think of another way and dragged you into this.”
Tyrell, however, seemed to find the moment delightfully amusing. “No need to apologize. As long as you’re happy, I’m more than willing to be your loyal servant, doing whatever you desire.”
I felt a flush of embarrassment. Tyrell, please, don’t joke about it. You know I just went through a divorce and lost my child-my emotions are still very fragile right now. Also, thank you for being so caring. Put me down, though. Your actual girlfriend will be jealous if she sees this.”
Tyrell looked down at me, his expression wide-eyed and disarmingly innocent. “Anya, don’t worry. I don’t have a girlfriend. Oh, by the way, don’t try to get rid of me. Allen pays me. He said I’ll be employed as long as I take good care of you.”

My mind was reeling, trying to process this sudden revelation.
Allen nodded. “Yes, I hired him. As your bodyguard, nutritionist, personal doctor, design tutor… you name it. He’s a multi-skilled expert. Feel free to utilize him for anything-whether it’s dining, entertainment, or even just companionship. He’s like your personal ‘male nanny’, and I’m footing the bill for all his services.”
Tyrell nodded vigorously, confirming Allen’s words.”Right. So, you can’t get rid of me.”
I pointed a finger, jabbing him playfully in the abs.”Tyrell, you’re 6’1″, built like a model with eight-pack abs. You’re every woman’s dream. Isn’t being a ‘male nanny’ a bit… beneath you? And we’ve clearly used up a lot of your money. Who would believe you’re broke?”
