Samantha soon realized something.
“If Rachel ended up with Mr. Hunt, and word goes out… What…what should we…?”
What Samantha brought up was precisely what William was worried about. It had been a thorn in his chest all this time. It was also why he had been trying to stop Rachel from being with Tyler.
He couldn’t afford to be embarrassed this way–the Lewis family couldn’t afford to be embarrassed this way!
After leaving the police station, William and Sama

got in the car. William couldn’t hold himself back from calling Rachel.
[You went to Mr. Hunt’s house today?]
He couldn’t possibly tell Rachel that Samantha informed him of seeing her heading to Tyler’s house, which made him suspect that they were alone there. What made things worse was that they eventually found Yvette instead of Rachel.
William could only text back a vague reply. [I had something to ask Tyler and ended up seeing Yvette there. Are they really an item?1
[I’m not sure. You’ll have to ask Yvette for the details.]
Rachel made sure not to get herself involved in this mess.
William didn’t pursue the matter further. [Are you not coming back tonight?]
[I need to help Cecilia tidy things up here and won’t be home tonight. Didn’t I already tell you
that?]
William was rendered speechless; he could only text her back to tell her to rest early.
The next day, Rachel hailed a taxi and rushed back home first thing in the morning. Today was the day her mother’s tombstone was to be moved back to the Lloyd family cemetery.
Her mother was finally going to be home!
It was her mother’s wish to be close to her father after passing, and to be buried with him after they were both gone.
Who knew an accident would happen, causing her grandfather to forbid her mother to be buried in their family cemetery?
It may be something minor to others, but it had been a thorn in Rachel’s chest for a long time.
Rachel didn’t tell Tyler that she was leaving. Since he had a sleep disorder, she figured it was better to let him sleep in. She also noticed that Ray’s food bowl was empty, so she filled it up before leaving.
It was tough calling for a taxi here, but she eventually managed to get one.
She had to go home for a change of clothes, as her current outfit was too bright and colorful. Wearing somethir and in a darker shade was more appropriate.

When Tyler woke up, he saw his dog on his bed, staring at him with big, bright eyes.
He patted Ray’s head and sat up. Ray suddenly whimpered, which made Tyler subconsciously look in the direction of the door.
“Has she left?”
In response to Tyler’s question, Ray barked twice.

Tyler got changed and opened the door to the room next door. The sheets were folded neatly and placed at the foot of the bed. She even tidied up the sink counter in the washroom; it looked clean, as if no one had stayed the night.
He brushed a finger over his brow and scoffed, “She’s a clean freak herself.”
Pot calling the kettle black…
Tyler headed downstairs to prepare a simple breakfast for himself. He noticed that Ray’s food bowl was filled to the brim, together with Ray’s favorite snacks.
Ray wagged his tail as he followed Tyler, who rubbed his head affectionately.
“No wonder you like her so much.”
Ray wagged his tail even harder.
As Tyler walked into the kitchen, he received a call from Yale.
“Mr. Hunt, after William Lewis returned home last night, he immediately got someone to track down Ms. Lloyd’s whereabouts these few days. He’s probably getting suspicious of her.”
