Chapter 6 Noreen had a new favorite pastime reality TV .
The more scripted and dramatic , the better .
Kylie was right there with her , chatting away about the shows couples .
He stood there for a bit , unnoticed .
They were too wrapped up in the show to notice him .
Noreen was the first to spot him .
Hey , whend you sneak in here ! Youre like a ghost ! she joked , raising an eyebrow .
Kylies smile disappeared the moment she saw Trevor .
She gave him a quick , polite nod .
Just got here , Trevor said .
He couldnt help but notice how quickly Kylies mood changed when he showed up , compared to the warm smile shed shared with his grandma .
It was like she had a switch , but he couldnt figure out what had triggered it .
You just got married to Kylie today , and youre still working late ? Your companys got a whole team , and they cant cover for you ? Maybe its time to shake things up with the staff , Noreen chided , rolling her eyes at Trevor .
Get back to Starlit Villa with Kylie and take care of her , alright ! Noreen pondered the transformation of her grandson .
Once a charming boy .
Trevor had grown into a man who seemed to have left his sweetness behind .
Kylie , however , shared Noreens love for those romantic reality shows , and their bonding over them was a joy to behold .
Trevor just hummed in response , not offering any further explanation .
Noreen shot him a stern look .
Youre so lucky to marry Kylie .
Dont take it for granted .
Trevor frowned , wondering how Kylie had made her way to win over Noreen .
Kylie glanced over , a touch of worry in her eyes .
Noreen , Ive got your bath set with some relaxing salts .
Make sure to take a dip before you turn in .
Noreens head bobbed up and down like a buoy on the waves .
You bet , Kylie .
Your wish is my tub this minute .
Trevor , standing by , just gave a nonchalant shrug , his expression unreadable .
command .
Im diving into that Pulling up to the Starlit Villa , Trevor and Kylie cruised through the empty streets and made it there in half the time , Inside , the silence between them was only broken by the sound of the front door closing .
Trevors eyes landed on a suitcase by the door , looking tiny enough to be a kids , with a painting sitting on top , giving off a vintage vibe .
Second floors all yours .
Take any room but mine , Trevor said , kicking off his shoes and slipping into slippers .
Hed heard about her recent moves from Zach , and he wasnt sure what to make of them .
It seemed like she was playing a game , and he wasnt interested in being a pawn .
Kylie got the message loud and clear .
They were married on paper , but that was about it .
Trevor had made it clear he wasnt interested in getting cozy .
She nodded, stepping into a pair of slippers and dragging her suitcase upstairs .
Trevor trailed behind , stopping to indicate one of the doors .
Thats my room .
Okay .
Kylie took a look around and chose a room that wasnt right next to his She wasnt trying to get too close for comfort .
It was better to keep some space between them , to avoid any awkwardness .
After all , she had her own plans , and getting tangled up with Trevor wasnt part of them .
Trevor raised an eyebrow at her distant demeanor .
Night , Mr.
Walters , Kylie said , her voice echoing down the hallway before her bedroom door clicked shut .
0 Chapter 6 Alone , Trevor frowned , realizing hed been thinking about her more than he should .
As long as she kept his grandma smiling , that was all that counted .
The rest ? Not his problem .
After an hour of unpacking and a much needed shower , Kylie finally dropped onto the bed , her body aching , her mind spinning .
The day had been a blur : waking up to the shock of a new existence , rushing into marriage with Trevor , and now , getting to see Noreen again .
It felt like shed stepped into an alternate reality .
She reached for her phone , which had been mute all day .

The screen was lit up like a Christmas tree with missed calls and a cascade of messages on WhatsApp .
Craig was at the top , his texts relentless .
But Kylie didnt even glance at them .
There were also messages from Julie , Samuel , and Melanie .
Instead , Kylie went straight to Noreens messages .
There was a funny photo of Noreen in the bath , totally kicking back , and a voice message .
Kylie hit play .
Noreens voice was warm and playful .
Hey , Kylie .
Ive done the bath , and its the cats pajamas .
And Im about to hit the hay .
Well , if Trevor gives you any grief , just let me know .
Ill put him in his place ! A smile crept onto Kylies face .
She typed out a quick Thanks .
Good night .
Then Kylie turned to check the stream of messages from Craig .
His voice notes must be a string of apologies , each one more desperate than the last She skipped the voice notes , her stomach turning at the thought of his voice .
And the messages were a mix of sad faces and pleading words .
[ Baby .
Im falling apart here .
Cant eat , cant sleep .
You know I need you .
Did I push it too far by telling you to make up with your folks ? I just want whats best for you .
] He thought he had her number and these would work .
As she was about to check on Julies message , Craigs call interrupted .
She picked up .
Craig said sadly , Kylie , why the radio silence ? Since you mentioned were through , Ive been a mess .
You know I cant handle this without you .
Did I cross the line by suggesting you make amends with your parents ? Youre new in the family … I just want you to get along with them … Kylies mind drifted back to her past , where pleasing the Lampard family was her obsession , all because of Craig .
She let out at sarcastic laugh .
Craig .
Why ? Kylie , you still care about me , right ? Craigs voice was confident , his words laced with arrogance .
He thought he had her wrapped around his finger .
Craig , youve got some nerve .
If you dont want trouble , youll return the 30 thousand dollars you owe me in the next ten minutes , she said sharply before hanging up .
A few days prior .
Craig had claimed his family was in a financial pinch .
Without hesitation , she had transferred the money her adoptive mother had given her , plus her own savings from working part time in college .
That money was meant for her adoptive mother Amanda In her last life , it wasnt until she was confined to her bed that she discovered he had spent it all on Melanie on clothes and skincare .
This time , she didnt care about Craig and Melanie , but Craig would pay every cent back .
Craig gaped at his phone , stunned .
Has Kylie lost her mind ? Demanding her money back ? Now ? He had plans to take Melanie shopping at the Trendy Mall tomorrow , and the money might not even cover it … He thought in a rage , Have I been too lenient with Kylie ? And she thinks she could just end things on a whim ? Does she really think Im that desperate for her ? Shell be crawling back to me soon , begging for forgiveness .
He then quickly messaged Melanie .
[ Mel , remember , were meeting at the Trendy Mall , entrance one , at noon tomorrow .
