Rachel didn’t understand why Tyler had such a strong reaction. She was clearly just joking.

Wanda walked over with a bottle of milk and poured some for Rachel. She leaned in and whispered, “Ms. Lloyd, don’t take Mr. Hunt the wrong way. He’s just conservative. He’s not the kind to casually date, but once he’s in a relationship, he’s loyal. That’s why even a joke about him and your friend would make him upset.”

Rachel nodded thoughtfully, her impression of Tyler improving yet again.

This kind of loyalty wasn’t something every man possessed. Most men always wanted more than what they had.

Even William, with all his so-called deep affection, was no exception.

It was why she stopped believing in that whole ‘devoted husband’ image. Only a man himself would know whether he was truly loyal or not.

Holding to her principle of owning up when she’s wrong, Rachel immediately offered a sincere apology to Tyler.

“I shouldn’t have joked like that. I’m sorry.”

Tyler picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth gracefully. “Think about what you did. I want a 500-word reflection on it tonight.”

Rachel’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Wait—Tyler, are you in elementary school or something? Do you seriously want me to write you a reflection?”

Tyler cast her a lazy sideways glance. “I can make it 1,000 if you don’t stop talking.”

“I…”

Rachel glanced into those intimidating eyes of his and swallowed her protest.

There was no point in fighting over something so small. It was only a reflection. She could easily grab something off the internet.

She smirked to herself—until Tyler added, “Handwritten. And don’t even think about copying something online.”

Whatever spark of joy Rachel had just felt, it instantly vanished.

Dealing with a guy like Tyler really did require every ounce of strength she had. Even then, she probably still wouldn’t win.

She slumped in defeat and lowered her head, completely resigned.

After dinner, Rachel and Tyler grabbed the gift she had picked up for his father at the mall yesterday and got into the car. They headed to a destination unknown to her.

Halfway there, Rachel started feeling something was off.

Was it just her, or did this route feel awfully familiar? It looked like they were headed toward the Lewis family’s estate.

Perhaps Tyler’s family home just happened to be in the same area. After all, this was the wealthy side of town. Most rich families clustered in the same areas.

That thought comforted her a little.

It was only the second day of her period. Last night she had still been fine, but maybe going out the day before, on top of the argument with William, had made things worse.

Now, her lower abdomen was beginning to ache again.

She leaned against the car door, elbow resting on the window, and tilted her head toward Tyler.

“I’m going to nap a bit. Wake me when we get there.”

Tyler gave her a quick once-over, his gaze stopping at her lower abdomen. “Is your stomach acting up again?”

“Yeah.”

“There’s a blanket and a warm compress in the back. Use them.”

Rachel blinked and turned to look at the back seat. Sure enough, there was a warm compress and a blanket. They were obviously newly bought.

She instinctively looked back at Tyler.

He really was different from William.

William always said the right things, but rarely followed through with actions.

Tyler, on the other hand, acted first and spoke later.

People truly were different.
