Chapter 28 Trevors expression was a mix of discomfort , like he had a bitter pill to swallow .
When they pulled up to Starlit Villa , Kylie was in no hurry .
She leaned back , waiting for him to spit it out .
Todays fiasco was on me , and I made some wrong assumptions about you .
My bad , Trevor admitted , his voice as cool as a winter breeze , not quite fitting the mood for an apology .
Hed been off the mas Anger .
Water ing she was still entangled with Crag .
Kylie had been steaming , but his apology doused her she said .
hit the courthouse tomorrow and get the ball rolling on a divorce .
ler we part ways , we keep it from Grandma , and Ill still swing by to se months breather , we Kylie advised , like she furrowed .
The second we file in the courthouse , Grandma will catch wind of it .
We stick to the plan , keep up .
ces for three years , and then cut the cord .
Kylies eyes danced with mischief , a teasing smile tugging at her lips .
Not worried Ill set my cap for you and the Walters Group ? What if you fall hook , line , and sinker for me , and bail on the divorce ? thinks Im a pushover ? I said its cool , but that doesnt mean Im a yes woman .
Does he think Im out to steal his heart , like some common thief ? Kylie wondered .
Awkwardness flitted across Trevors chiseled features .
Theres zero chance Id fall for you , so youre in the clear .
When our deal is up , youll get your 3 million dollars , no ifs or buts .
Kylie gave a casual shrug .
For Noreen , Ill let it slide .
But if you go off half cocked again , making accusations without the full picture , were through .
Trevors face clouded over as he said .
Deal .
With their chat wrapped up , they shared a silent understanding , climbing out of the car and heading back to the villa , one after the other .
Feeling a pang of hunger , Kylie , whod skipped dinner , made a beeline for the kitchen .
Tm about to whip up some dinner .
Want me to make enough for two ? she asked Trevor out of courtesy .
Midway on the stairs , Trevor froze .

His deep set eyes locked onto Kylies .
She was caught off guard , her gaze trapped in his .
Trevor broke the eye contact quickly .
Sure , if you dont mind .
Thanks , Throw a dinner bell in thirty .
Kylie replied, a soft sigh escaping her as she looked away .
She felt Trevor was indeed handsome .
Trevors got that classic leading man look , all suave and aloof , the kind that turns heads .
His business acumen just adds to the mystique .
A real heartthrob , but a bit too self assured for my taste , Kylie thought to herself .
Despite her inner monologue , Kylie kept rummaging through the fridge , coming up with tomatoes and potatoes to whip up some gnocchi , comfort food that wouldnt weigh her down .
Amanda , her foster mother , had been her cooking mentor .
Kylie used to be more of a kitchen klutz , but shed picked up enough tricks to hold her own , her skills a reflection of Amandai .
Thirty minutes later , Trevor descended the stairs , drawn by the tantalizing aroma wafting from the kitchen .
He peeked into the kitchen to find two plates of what resembled pancake batter .
His face scrunched up as he recalled the dish shed made days ago that looked the part , unlike tonights offering .
More where that came from , if youre still hungry , Kylie offered , catching his puzzled stare .
1/2 12:02 Thu , Oct 17 Chapter 281 Are they overcooked ? Trevor questioned , eying the dish .
Kylie let out a light langh .
This is gnocchi Just give it a try .
68 % It seems that gnocchi , a little on the mushy side , is new to him .
Not surprising , really .
He is probably used to a steady stream of gourmet meals .
Gnocchi , especially the homemade kind , is likely off his radar , Kylie thought .
Trevor carried his plate of gnocchi to the dining table , hesitating to dig in .
It was a bit of a lukewarm mess , not his usual fare .
Kylie , on the other hand , was savoring each spoonful , proving that simple ingredients could still pack a punch .
Secing Kylies gusto , Trevor tentatively took a tiny bite , then another , and another .
Before long , he was up for seconds , his plate making a trip back to the kitchen and returning full again Kylie , not one for overindulging , felt a food coma coming on and decided to call it quits after h up , fetched her bag , and pulled out the jewelry box that held the ring Noreen had given her at the of Trevor .
This should be yours .
was clean .
She got spital , setting it in front The ring was a stunner , the kind that begged to be owned , but it wasnt hers to keep .
It was meant for the woman Trevor would one day truly wed .
Trevors eyes were drawn to the jewelry box .
In his mind , he could see Kylies hand graced with the ring , elegant and perfect , her nails simple yet captivating in their bare beauty .
The image was so vivid that it was tough to picture the ring on anyone Grandma gave it to you .
Its yours by rights , Trevor insisted .
Its too precious .
Grandma thinks were the real deal .
She meant it for her actual granddaughter in law , not me , Kylie protested , her resolve firm , even in the face of a 30 million dollar diamond .
Trevor met Kylies gaze .
Grandma gave it to you , and thats that keep it Fine .
Ill hang onto it , Kylie said , tucking the ring away .
She thought maybe he would have a change of heart , and she could return it then .
The next morning .
Kylie was off to the hospital .
Shed slipped out at the crack of dawn , leaving Trevor to his dreams , and she shot him a quick text .
By seven , she was at the hospital , a place nearly deserted at this hour .
Even so , this private facility rarely saw a crowd .
Noreen was tucked into her breakfast , looking a world better than the night prior .
After an hour of catching up , Kylie took her leave , with plans to hit the Vintage Market .
Trevors reply to her message was a simple Okay , which Kylie didnt give much thought to .
As she neared the Vintage Market , James got her on the line .
Kylie , have you seen Craigs Twitter meltdown ? he asked .
Hands on the wheel .
Eyes on the road .
Whats the scoop , James James was fuming .
Its enough to make a guy see red .
Didnt Ethan say you were history ? Whats his purpose ? If I werent covering for the lead today , Id be paying him a visit ! Save your breath for the worthy , James .
Ill check it out once Im parked , Kylie said , guiding her car to the side of the road .
