“I've got to go. Check on that thing for me. It's important,” Rachel said.
“Got it,” Vander replied.
After hanging up, Rachel ran to the bathroom and yanked the door open. A cloud of steam rolled out, the heat
washing over her like a wave.
She couldn’t see anything at first. Eventually, Tyler's silhouette cinto view. He hadn't bothered to get
dressed yet and stood there completely unfazed, right in front of her.
“What's this? Rushing in to sneak a peek?”
Rachel was close to hurling a slipper at his smug face. This guy was ridiculously full of himself.
Then again, he kind of had the right to be. If she looked half as good as he did, she would probably be more
shameless than him.
Without thinking, Rachel's gaze drifted to his inner thigh. But after only a couple of seconds, her heartbeat
spiked.
This was way too awkward.
Tyler instantly picked up on her strange behavior. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms. She crashed
into his chest before she could react. His body was still radiating heat from the shower, and even through her
clothes, she could feel the warmth seeping into her skin.

moment he got to Yurelia City!
Besides, how was it that the scar ended up there, of all places? A back or chest scar she could understand, but

Tyler lowered his head slightly, his warm breath brushing against the top of her head. His voice cout low and
smooth. It heated things up a little.
“Rachel, you're definitely up to something. What are you doing in the bathroom, hmm?”
She couldn't just tell him the truth. There was no way she was admitting she barged in just to check out his inner
thigh for a scar.
So she decided to throw her pride out the window and double down on flattery.
“No particular reason. | was just appreciating your physique. | read online that you can predict a man’s life
expectancy by looking at his thighs.”
Tyler raised a brow, not looking the least bit suspicious.

She felt his gaze grow hotter and heavier. Rachel swallowed hard, praying she wouldn't dig herself into a
hole she couldn't climb out of.
To her surprise, Tyler didn’t refuse. In fact, he casually offered, “Well, go ahead then.”
He stood there tall and unbothered, and Rachel suddenly felt her courage crumbling.
But she had to do this. She had to find out the truth.
Biting her lip, she crouched down in front of him, carefully avoiding eye contact. Her breathing grew
uneven as the nerves kicked in, and her warm breath brushed against his skin.
What Rachel didn’t realize was that Tyler's gaze was intensifying by the second. Something primal
flickered to life in his eyes. She was
