Chapter 262

Tyler looked at Rachel with a strange expression, then burst out laughing as though he had heard a hilarious joke.

“Just listen to yourself!”

“There’s nothing wrong with what I’m saying,” Rachel said firmly. “It’s naturally fine for you to not wear anything at home when you’re alone, but I’m a woman. You should at least watch it.”

Tyler nodded, as if persuaded by her. “Yeah, you’re right. Men nowadays should learn to protect themselves when they’re out.”

Rachel’s eyes widened. “What do you mean by that?”

Why was he making it sound as though she had designs on him? As if she was tempted by his naked body in any way! Fine—she admitted that he was a very attractive man, but it wasn’t to the point of making her lose her self-control. His concern was absolutely unnecessary!

Tyler put the empty glass back on the counter and glanced casually at Rachel. “Think about it yourself. I’m going to bed.” He started up the stairs, but at the first step, he turned around and said to her, “Sing Pretty Boy by M2M tonight.”

Rachel’s lips twitched as she recalled the lyrics of the song.

How strange could Tyler get? Who in the world was still listening to that song?

Forget it—she would bear with it for two nights. After that, she would never see him again.

She was about to walk up the stairs when someone knocked on the door.

Rachel and Tyler turned to look at the door at the same time.

It was getting late, and Tyler’s home was secluded. People usually wouldn’t come all the way here.

Who would be here at a time like this?

In a low voice that carried a tinge of fatigue, Tyler asked, “Who is it?”

“Mr. Hunt, it’s me.”

It was an all-too-familiar voice, William was here!

What was he doing here so late at night?

Anxiety crept up Rachel’s face. She instinctively turned to Tyler to whisper, “Does William know you live here?”

“Probably not,” Tyler said with furrowed brows.

Rachel felt a weight on her shoulders, so suffocating she almost couldn’t breathe. Her mind drew a blank as she stared at Tyler, “What should we do now?”

They couldn’t possibly let William in. She was certain he wasn’t here just to have a chat with Tyler. That wasn’t possible, given their relationship with each other.

Tyler pondered for a moment before tilting his chin in the direction of the stairs.

“Go to my room first. I’ll open the door.”

Rachel pondered for a moment and decided to do as Tyler said, which seemed to be the only option right now.

She hurried upstairs, but didn’t notice one of her earrings falling.

Chapter 263

After Rachel went upstairs, Tyler stretched out his shoulders and walked leisurely to the door to open it.

With a yawn, he said, “William, what the hell are you doing here in the middle of the night? Are you trying to break into my house?"

William cut to the chase and demanded, “Is Rachel here?”

Tyler ran his fingers through his hair that was still dripping wet, a low chuckle escaping his throat as though he had heard a joke.

“William, this isn’t your first time coming here in person to ask for your wife. Lost your wife, and you’re asking me for her? Should I just marry your wife instead? That’ll be ideal for you and Sunantha, since you two are infatuated with each other.”
