Loving You In Secret

Chapter 1490

Chris looked at Vicky intently, and Vicky knew it did not matter if Chris had come to show her the photos on purpose. What mattered was that he was stating a fact.

The two fell into silence until Aurora returned with a new set of clothes. “Vicky, go ahead and get changed.”

Vicky nodded and got up with the bag Aurora handed to her.

Since Chris was still around, Aurora could not follow Vicky out. She smiled at Chris and asked, “Have you eaten? Would you like to join us, Mister Leonheart?”

She was merely trying to be polite, but to her bewilderment, Chris nodded. “If it’s not too much trouble, sure.”

Aurora froze and maintained a polite smile. “Since Vicky has gone to get changed, why don’t you go ahead and order?” Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

With that said, she waved the waiter over.

When Vicky emerged, Aurora and Chris were already engaged in a somewhat casual conversation.

Aurora had deduced Chris’ identity and his connection to Vicky at this point and mentioned she invited Chris for dinner with Vicky. Vicky did not show any reluctance.

Once the waiter served their dishes, the three of them dined in silence.

After the meal, Chris excused himself to visit the restroom.

When Aurora went to settle the bill as they finished, she was informed that someone else had taken care of it.

By the time Chris returned, Aurora smiled and said, “I was planning to treat Vicky to a meal today, but you beat me to it, Mister Leonheart.”

Chris shot her a faint smile. “Back in the day, Vicky was always the one treating me to meals. Now that I finally have a chance to reciprocate, you wouldn’t have the heart to steal that opportunity from me, would you?”

Aurora was just joking with Chris and was not genuinely upset, so she said, “I’ll treat you next time, then.”

As they conversed, the three of them left the restaurant. Chris displayed his gentlemanly manner and asked, “Where are you staying? I’ll drop you off.”

Aurora glanced at Vicky and, seeing no objection from her, felt relieved. “Thank you, Mister Leonheart.”

“Don’t mention it.”

Aurora lived relatively close by, so Chris quickly drove her home.

Once Aurora got out of the car, that left Vicky alone with Chris.

When Aurora was present, she had been able to steer the conversation and alleviate some of the awkwardness. With Aurora gone, however, silence loomed over the car.

Staring at the night sky and the fleeting scenery outside the window, Vicky broke the silence.

“You’re not someone who doesn’t know boundaries, and you’re not one to enjoy stirring up trouble. You suddenly showed up to me today, and our meetings have always been perfectly timed to cause trouble.

This can’t just be a coincidence, can it?”

The car was dimly lit. Vicky sat in the back seat, unable to discern Chris’ expression.

After a moment of silence, Chris spoke.
