Chapter 440

“Wasn’t it you who told me to go get it?” Rachel asked.

The man seemed slightly surprised as he looked at her.

“I told you to get it?”

“Yes, didn’t you ask me to get prepared?”

Rachel was a little intrigued. Jason hadn’t even had a drink, yet his memory seemed worse than hers, and she had definitely been drinking.

Could she have misunderstood?

No way. If she had, why would he have taken a shower? That alone was a pretty obvious signal.

But the man didn’t seem to hear a word she was saying. He just kept staring at the condom wrapper in his hand, flipping it over a few times.

Then, he said, “You bought the wrong size.”

Rachel blinked in confusion. “What?”

“It’s too small.”

Her face went stiff. Were there different sizes? She had just grabbed a box, paid, and left.

Sure, it wasn’t her first time doing this, but William had always been the one to buy them. This was her first time, and she had no idea about sizes.

The man gave the packet a shake. “We’ll make it work.”

Rachel realized there was no turning back now and asked, “Should we move to the bed?”

“Where do you want to do it?” he asked casually.

Given the choice between the hard balcony chair and a soft, comfy bed, Rachel opted for the latter. “The bed, then.”

The man helped her over, shrugging off his jacket as he walked. Once at the bed, he gently grasped her chin and gave her lips a couple of teasing pecks.

The moment his warm lips touched hers, Rachel felt every cell in her body light up like a spark. His kisses were patient, his hand resting lightly at her waist to keep her steady.

Her cheeks turned pink under the heat of his lips, and her breath came quicker.

He paused for a beat, then reached behind her, pulling down the zipper of her dress.

Lying back on the bed, Rachel’s face flushed as she glanced at the harsh ceiling light.

“Can we turn that off?” she asked.

“Can we leave a small lamp on?”

She thought to herself that at least he had some manners.

Jason had always seemed a bit wild and unrestrained, so his gentleness now was unexpected. Given the circumstances, she didn’t want to push her luck.

“Okay.”

Rachel followed Tyler’s pace the whole way. He led every step, and she simply went along with it.

The man braced himself above her and suddenly called her name.

“Rachel, who am I?”

That struck Rachel like a thunderclap. It felt like someone had yanked her out of a completely different time and space. Her whole body trembled violently.

Though the alcohol was still in her system, the shock completely sobered her.

That once-blurry face finally sharpened into focus. Rachel’s eyes widened with disbelief. Her pupils dilated.

“T–Tyler.”

Tyler smiled, clearly pleased by her correct answer. He dipped down to give her a light kiss on the lips like a reward.

“Good girl.”

Rachel felt her heart jolt violently.

That meant everything she’d just seen wasn’t a hallucination.

The man in this room wasn’t Jason.

It was Tyler!

How could it be Tyler?

He leaned in and whispered in her ear, “Don’t drift off now. Focus, Rachel.”

Rachel was once again dragged back to reality by his voice.
