Chapter 677

She almost couldn’t quite take Ray’s passionate greeting.

Rachel’s words didn’t seem to do anything to quell Ray’s enthusiasm; the dog seemed to wish to dive straight into Rachel’s arms.

Rachel stretched her hands out to stop Ray from getting too close while urging Tyler, “What are you doing just standing there? Stop Ray!”

“Ray!”

Tyler’s command was all it took for Ray to sit obediently on the floor. Ray stuck out a tongue, looking innocently at Tyler.

Rachel heaved a sigh of relief and gently patted Ray’s head before walking to the couch and settling down on it. “Ray might like me, but he listens to you when it matters the most.”

“Ray’s just shameless. Dogs are very smart–they know when someone likes them and wouldn’t bear to treat them fiercely. They’re selective in treating people. Humans aren’t the only ones who like bullying easy targets. Dogs are like that, too.”

Tyler used hand signals to instruct Ray to lie down and sit on the ground. Ray obeyed–it was in stark contrast to his usual wild and unbridled behavior with Rachel.

Rachel looked at Tyler’s towering figure and imposing aura–anyone could sense it. Ray naturally could sense it too, having been with Tyler for so long. That was why Ray feared Tyler so much.

Even dogs nowadays know how to read the room, let alone people.

Tyler sat on the couch and patted Ray.

Just then, Wanda walked out of the kitchen, stunned to see Rachel and Tyler. After recovering from the shock, a look of joy registered on her face.

“Goodness! Ms. Lloyd and Mr. Hunt, you’re finally back. I was about to go to the hospital to visit you two if you hadn't returned a minute later.”

Wanda had wanted to go a few days ago, but she was worried about leaving Ray alone at home.

Tyler had instructed her not to leave Ray alone at home. This dog was very intelligent and might find a way to run away even after locking all the doors and windows in the house.

Something like that had happened before. Tyler spent the entire night looking for Ray and barely had time to drink a sip of water until he finally managed to find Ray.

Ever since then, Tyler never left Ray alone at home. Before Wanda came to help out, he would hire a professional to keep Ray company.

Rachel said to Wanda, “I’ve really missed your cooking in the past few days.”

“Just tell me what you’d like to eat and I’ll have it prepared right away,” Wanda said with a twinkle in her eyes.

Rachel gave her a bright smile. “You’re so good to me, Wanda.”

Tyler patted Ray’s head and remarked suggestively, “Why are you still so greedy? Your head is filled with food. Is there anything else besides that?”

Ray looked at him with huge, glistening eyes. Rachel wondered if Ray could actually understand what Tyler was saying.

She glanced at Tyler and thought back on his words just now. Why did she have a niggling feeling that he may or may not be talking about the dog?

“Are you actually talking about me?” she asked Tyler blatantly.

But Tyler continued talking to Ray, “There’s nothing else aside from food in your head. I don’t see you caring about other people. Even if you do, you seem to be caring about the wrong people.”

Rachel could sense the hidden meaning in Tyler’s words. “Are you trying to say that I don’t care about you?”

Tyler sighed pitifully. “Don’t you know best if you care about me or not? I can’t even be bothered to comment about you.”

Rachel opened her mouth, a look of indignation on her face, ready to refute Tyler’s claim. She was going to make him eat his words, no matter what.
