Before Tyler could say anything, Rachel was already out of the doo


    “Aren’t you going to check it out?” Xavier aske!


    Tyler crossed his legs, leisurely sipping on some cottee. He cast Napier a sideways nce. “Are you sure I should be going back with her? The Lewis family will kill me.”


    Xavier nodded in agreement. “That will be awkward given your rtion with the Lewises. If you were with Rachel, the entire family would implode”


    Tyler arched a brow and said halt–jokingly, “So what if we’re together? We aren’t siblings.”


    Xavier’s eyes widened in surprise, but he found it rather hrious at the next moment. “Seriously? Do you really have feelings for her


    The thought alone shocked Xavier. He was sure that even the dead would be shocked.


    “I was just making a casual remark,” Tyler saidzily. “Why so angious? What, does your daughter tancy me and want to marry


    me too?”


    Xavier scoffed. “Would you even fancy my daughter? It she were as beautiful as Ms. Lloyd, I wouldn’t need to v


    Xavier put his hand on his forehead, thinking back on the first time he anxiously brought his daughter to Tyler. Who knew that the moment his 20–year–old daughter firstid eyes on Tyler, she fell hard for him.


    Subsequently, she rejected all of the bright young men he introduced to her. She would go on all day about dating Tyler and no one else.


    Tyler put the coffee cup to his lips and took a sip, the knot in his brows unravelling, “Your daughter isn’t ugly. At least, she’s better–looking than you are.”


    “That coffee cup was Ms. Lloyd’s…”


    Xavier was stunned. Wasn’t Tyler a germaphobe? He would never use a cup so meone else used, not to mention drink coffee that someone else drank.


    What’s more, Tyler didn’t look at all disturbed after drinking it.


    Tyler nced at the lipstick stain on the cup and took in its light fruity scent.


    He retracted his gaze and mumbled, “Oh.”


    He then downed all the coffee in the cup.


    “It’s a virtue not to waste food.”


    Xavier simply smiled without a word.


    Meanwhile, Rachel rushed to the Lloyd household by taxi. She wanted to exin things to her grandfather and her father before Cassandra arrived.


    Otherwise, the rumors about her spreading, like wildfire would soon give her father Jim trouble.


    The moment she stepped into the house, she heard amotion from inside.


    “You must give me an eptable exnation! Your daughter marred into my family, and something so major happened. Did you actually read thements and see the pictures online?! The Lewis family has be the butt of everyone’s jokes!


    “You know clearly the state of our rtionship with Tyler. You must give us a satisfactory answer to this, or a divorce is the only way! We can’t afford to be embarrassed like this.”


    Jim knew reason wasn’t on his side. He read the reports and knew that Rachel was in the wrong


    No matter what, she shouldn’t have gotten herself involved with Tyler.


    Jim approached Cassandra and exined politely to her, “We are indeed at fault here, but it’s pointless to pin the me on someone. We should be finding a solution instead.”


    Cassandra scoffed. “Solution? What other solution would there be? Divorce is the only solution!”


    Jim shook his head. “No. A divorce would only confirm suspicions that there’s something between Rachel and Tyler<i>.</i>”
