Loving You In Secret

Chapter 1552

‘Tyler's right. What am I trying to convey? Whether it was consensual or not, the deed has been done. If I truly found it unacceptable, I can just report it to the authorities. Why go through the trouble of explaining myself to someone who could be considered a perpetrator?’ she thought. ‘Do I still harbor some unrealistic fantasy about him?’ This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

At that moment, the abrupt ringing of a phone shattered the silence.

Tyler picked up the phone and glanced at it. His gaze deepened before he answered. "Avery."

Hearing Avery's name, Vicky's blood ran cold.

“Tyler, what were you doing last night? Why didn't you answer my calls?" came Avery's sweet, teasing voice from the other end of the phone.

"I was at a banquet last night and had a bit too much to drink." Tyler's voice remained slow and melodious.

"You scared me. I thought something happened to you."

"I'm fine. There's no need to worry.”

“Tyler, I've booked a flight for this afternoon. I'll be in Stoneford City tomorrow to be with you.” Avery asked hesitantly, “You won't be mad at me for doing that, will you?”

Over the years, Tyler had gone on business trips frequently, and Avery mentioned accompanying him before, only to be turned down.

Afraid of angering him, she usually did not insist. Still, a business trip to Stoneford City or Zendonia was different.

Over the years, Tyler had traveled to numerous countries, yet he never came to Zendonia. She knew that Old Mister

Hart did not want Tyler to return to this particular country, so he never arranged for him to travel here on business.

Since Tyler had taken control of the Hart family empire, it was only normal for him to return to Stoneford City to check on Hart Corporation.

He might not even run into Vicky. Even if he did, judging from Vicky's behavior the last time, it seemed she had no intention of acknowledging Tyler. Still, Avery felt inexplicably worried, and she could not bear the thought of Tyler being alone in such a place.

"Why would I be?" Tyler's tone was chilly but gentler in comparison when speaking to Vicky. "What time is your flight? I'll pick you up at the airport.”

Avery had thought Tyler would refuse, so she was pleasantly surprised he had agreed right away. "Tomorrow, nine in the morning.”

“Sure,” Tyler said. “I'll go pick you up.”

After hanging up, he turned to look at Vicky, who sat on the bed dazedly. "Well? What will it take?"

"What?" She looked at him with confusion.

“After all that you've said, you are trying to get something out of it, right?” He crossed his legs and continued, "Since you satisfied me, I can agree to grant you one wish.”

“I don't need it." She got out of bed with a vacant expression and headed for the bathroom.

Tyler did not press on.

By the time she exited the bathroom, Tyler was already dressed, and there was a set of female clothing on the bed. It was evident that he had called someone to send her new clothes while she showered.

Vicky did not refuse it and changed into the clothes before turning to leave.

Suddenly, Tyler called out to her. “Hang on.”
