Countdown to My Divorce (Rachel and William) novel Chapter 163

Rachel went back to her room and found some loose–fitting clothes in her luggage case.

Everyone was preparing for the hike up the mountain.

Cecilia walked alongside Rachel. As they walked on, she bumped Rachel with her elbow.

“Look at how shameless Samantha is! She’s not even bothering to hide it. Mr. Lewis is not her husband, for goodness‘ sake!”

However, Rachel was no longer perturbed by the scene before her she gave Cecilia a half–smile and said, “For all you know, he might eventually become her husband.”

Cecilia looked at Rachel in shock.

“What do you mean by that? Are you going to divorce Mr. Lewis? Please don’t! That’s precisely what Samantha wants you to do.

“If I were you, I’d fight them to the very end! Whoever ends up as the homewrecker is the one who gets embarrassed. Look at how much injustice you’ve faced ever since Samantha came.

“Just think about the gastric problems you’ve had recently. Did Mr. Lewis show you any concern? If it were in the past, he’d send you to the hospital straight away over the slightest discomfort!”

At the mention of Samantha, Cecilia gritted her teeth in anger.

Rachel remained silent, her eyes calm. She knew very clearly that the reason wasn’t just that William didn’t care about her any

longer.

There was another reason.

Before, he had seen Tyler in he

r ward.

The possessive streak in men like him meant that even if they didn’t care for you, they would never allow you to be with another

man.

How repulsive.

Rachel patted Cecilia on the shoulder and said comfortingly, “Alright, let’s go gather.

They had just left the room when they bumped into someone.

Rachel was the first to apologize. “I’m sorry.”

“It’s alright, I was the one…oh, Ms. Lloyd.”

Tammy looked up as she wiped her shirt, and saw that it was Rachel.

Rachel knew every colleague at work–even the most insignificant lowest–ranked employee. “Tammy, you’re…”

She saw a box in Tammy’s hands, and looked down to see biscuits scattered all over the floor. She hurriedly bent over to pick them up. In her haste, she didn’t notice her phone dropping on the floor.

Tammy quietly picked up Rachel’s phone and slipped it into her pocket.

“It’s fine, Ms. Lloyd. Don’t bother picking them up. I’ll just bake a new batch,” Tammy said.

Rachel couldn’t suppress the guilt on her face. “I’m so sorry.”

“It’s fine. Are you heading over to the gathering place now?”

Tammy looked as sweet as her name suggested, but she was also very reserved, often blushing whenever she talked to others.

Rachel nodded. “Yeah, I was about to head over. Join us soon.”

“Okay.”

After Rachel and Cecilia left, Tammy pulled Rachel’s phone out of her pocket and tried unlocking it. She succeeded at the second try, a wily smile on her face.

Everyone was out of breath when they reached the summit.

Cecilia collapsed on the ground. “My god! You have to be very fit to do this.“.

As an occasional jogger, Rachel found it alright. After she joined the new place, she might have a heavy workload. Keeping fit

was a must.

Some colleagues were huddled together in a corner.

“I saw Mr. Lewis holding Samantha. She looked like she was struggling.”

“This hill isn’t that bad. The slopes aren’t even that steep! The hike is a little longer and farther, that’s all. You certainly don’t need to be held like that.”

“What a joke! Why do I feel like Mr. Lewis will soon end up with Samantha? If this goes on, Rachel will lose her position as Mrs. Lewis.”

“Poor thing! She lost her hearing, and now she’s also going to lose her place as Mrs. Lewis. How is she going to survive for the rest of her life?”

“She couldn’t even hold on to her position as a director back then, not to mention this now!”
