Chapter 217

Rachel gave a satisfied smile. “I didn’t expect to find such great coffee near the hospital.”

She had been here a few times but never expected the coffee served in such an ordinary-looking place could be so good.

Xavier said half-jokingly, “Have you heard the saying? Small shops are always generous with their ingredients.”

Rachel couldn’t hold back a chuckle. That statement seemed to ring true.

Just then, Xavier’s phone rang. He glanced at the phone screen and looked around before waving his hand.

“Over here.”

Rachel followed his gaze and saw Tyler walking toward them.

His good looks were attention-grabbing as usual, no matter where he went. The ladies in the cafe, who originally had their attention on their coffees, couldn’t help but stare at him the moment he walked in.

“He’s so handsome!”

“I can sense from the aura he exudes that he’s rich. He looks just like my ideal type.”

“I haven’t seen such a good-looking man for a long time.”

“What should I do? I suddenly find my husband so ugly; I feel like vomiting.”

Rachel had a strong urge to change seats when she heard what all the ladies in the cafe were muttering under their breaths. It meant that the moment Tyler sat down, they would become the center of everyone’s attention.

Rachel didn’t like that feeling.

The moment Tyler sat down, she asked, “Can we talk somewhere else?”

Tyler didn’t sense anything wrong and leaned casually against the back of the chair, looking as though he was right at home.

“Why change? This isn’t bad.”

Rachel sat up straight and leaned in closer to Tyler, whispering, “Did you realize how many people have been staring at you the moment you walked in? Reporters are everywhere right now. We’d be in trouble if they find us here.”

Tyler covered his mouth and coughed, looking composed.

“You’ll have to get used to this. This happens no matter where I go. Are you really going to keep changing places because of how people look at you? What you need to do is make others get used to you instead of you getting used to others. Got that?”

Hearing that, Rachel was thunderstruck.

What others cared about had always been important to her.

Her mother had raised her not to be selfish and to consider other people’s feelings.

Now that Rachel was older and had experienced some things, she was beginning to think more about herself.

However, she couldn’t go to the extent of caring only for herself, like Tyler. He cared naught for what others felt.

That wasn’t all that bad. Life was short and tough. There was indeed no point in living based on what others thought.

And so, Rachel gave up on the idea of changing seats.

Tyler crossed his legs and said in all seriousness, “Rachel, very soon, it’ll be a double whammy for you from both the Lewis and Lloyd families. You better be prepared.”

Rachel frowned. “What’s this got to do with the Lloyd family?”

“Yale updated me that William’s mother read the news online and rushed to your family home to demand an explanation.”

Rachel’s eyes widened as she stood up in shock. “What did you just say?!”

Tyler smirked. “Did you really think William’s mother would just sit at home and do nothing after something so major happened?”

Rachel stood up and grabbed her bag. “I need to go home right now!”
