Chapter 538

Rachel pulled the blanket over herself, placed the warm compress over her skirt, and turned over to sleep without a care for appearances.

Tyler kept his eyes on the road and drove steadily to the family estate. Once they arrived, he gave her a gentle nudge.

“Wake up, sleepyhead.”

Rachel mumbled something and rolled onto her side, falling right back to sleep.

Tyler unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned over, deliberately pinching her nose. Rachel’s breathing grew difficult. She furrowed her brows and tried to move away by shaking her head, but the feeling of suffocation wouldn’t go away.

When Rachel finally woke up and saw Tyler holding her nose, she shoved his hand away.

“Tyler, are you crazy? Were you trying to suffocate me or what?”

With a light touch, Tyler tilted her chin up. Rachel looked into his clear, intense gaze.

“Well, well. You’ve learned to talk back now, huh? I must’ve spoiled you too much lately,” he said.

Rachel snorted. “You were literally trying to smother me, and I’m not even allowed to fight back? That’s pushing it.”

Tyler pinched her cheeks. Her face looked like a pufferfish, and her eyes shimmered with surprise.

“Do you ever run out of steam? Or is that mouth of yours just built to last?”

He pried open her mouth like he was about to examine it for real.

Rachel was so annoyed, she burst out laughing and started swatting at him.

“Tyler, seriously, what is wrong with you? Do you really want to examine my mouth that badly? Why don’t you just become a dentist?”

Who in their right mind would stare at people’s mouths for fun?

Seeing Rachel’s face flush with exasperation made Tyler laugh.

“If I ever became a dentist, I’d go full-time just for you. How much are you willing to pay me, though?”

He suddenly leaned in, his voice low and smooth right by her ear. The sound alone was enough to make her whole body tingle.

This man was just oozing talent. Even if he couldn’t stay a corporate CEO, he could definitely make it as a voice actor or a hand model. He could even become a full-time model.

Rachel’s heart fluttered just looking at that unfairly handsome face. It was flawless. Tyler looked like he walked out of a romance novel.

“I couldn’t afford you. You’d better go find yourself a sugar mommy,” she said bluntly.

“I-”

“Sir, Mr. Thomas is waiting inside.”

A sudden knock on the window cut him off.

Both Rachel and Tyler snapped out of it. The moment Rachel saw the person standing outside, she instinctively pushed Tyler away.

This was her first time coming here, after all. She needed to watch out for how she presented herself.

Tyler opened the car door, and Rachel got out from the passenger side. The moment she saw the familiar building in front of her, she froze.

She turned to Tyler stiffly and asked, “Did you take the wrong turn?”

“Nope. This is the place.” Tyler had expected this reaction. He wasn’t surprised at all.

Rachel was still dazed. “But isn’t this the Lewis family estate?”

Tyler shut the door, casually spinning the car keys around his finger as the corners of his mouth lifted.

“Rachel, haven’t you figured it out yet?”
