Countdown to My Divorce

For a moment, Rachel didn’t even know what to say. She had a feeling that walking over now would just be interrupting.

But Tyler, as usual, had no concept of embarrassment. He walked straight up like he hadn’t noticed a thing and greeted them casually.

“Mr. Lewis, you’re certainly busy. Can’t spare a moment to wait for your own wife, yet you’ve got time to admire a female employee’s belly?” His gaze shifted playfully to Samantha. “What is it? Does Ms. Judd’s belly look more special than everyone else’s? Prettier, maybe?”

William had remained composed when he saw Tyler, but the moment his eyes landed on Rachel beside him, his entire expression changed. The gentleness from before disappeared. It was replaced by something darker.

Samantha pursed her lips. Her face went pale for a brief second before she quickly recovered, putting on a cheerful smile as she jogged over to Rachel.

“Rachel, where were you this morning? William and I waited for a long time. We thought something might’ve happened to you.”

Rachel didn’t even glance at Samantha, however. Her gaze was fixed on William the entire time. “Is that so?”
