Loving You In Secret

Chapter 1604

Three days later, it was Vicky’s birthday.

Harvey reserved the entire restaurant for Vicky and invited all of Vicky’s friends to celebrate her birthday.

Every year, everyone would gather to celebrate, but this year was different.

Harvey and Vicky had announced their engagement before the press but were both placed in a position where they had no choice but to do so. On this day, Harvey decided to officially propose to Vicky.

After the birthday song was sung, he held out a ring, got down on one knee, and looked at Vicky adoringly. “Vicky, I’ve let you slip away once because of my incompetence, and I’ve lived these past years in remorse ever since. I’m lucky that I now have a chance to start again. This time, I won’t let you slip away. I love you, Vicky. Will you marry me?”

His proposal caught Vicky by surprise.

They had discussed the venue and date for the engagement party, and even prepared to invite the press to the party.

However, Harvey had not mentioned anything about proposing to her.

Just then, Aurora, Jennifer, and Cece started cheering.

“Marry him!”

“Marry him!”

“Marry him!”

Ever since Tyler left that day, Vicky had been on edge.

Tyler’s methods were ruthless, and her fear of him was etched into her very marrow.

As she gazed at Harvey, his unwavering eyes fixed on her, a flicker of hesitation bloomed in Vicky’s heart. Being with Harvey was undeniably soothing, but she genuinely worried about dragging him into her problems.

Sensing her hesitation, Harvey looked deeply into her eyes.” Vicky, I’m not the same person I was years ago. Trust me.

This time, I will protect you.”

Aurora chimed in, “Vicky, don’t hesitate. Just say yes!”

Beside them, Noah slightly pulled her aside, a quiet reminder. “Could you stop instigating, please?”

Aurora openly glanced at him. “Look at you, always so cautious and fearful, indecisive, and hesitant. Is that how a man behaves? It’s no wonder you didn’t get Vicky back then and failed to win Jennifer’s heart a few years ago.”

“I’m cautious and fearful? Indecisive and hesitant?” Noah pointed to himself. “You have no idea how crazy Tyler and Anthony are, do you?” ’

Aurora sarcastically retorted, “Isn’t it normal for rivals to give each other a hard time? Timid guys like you should just stay single!”

Noah was about to say something but suddenly stopped.” Fine, I’m a timid man. Just don’t come crying to me when you see the madness that guy is capable of.”

Aurora did not pay much attention to his words. When she turned her head, she saw that Vicky had already taken the engagement ring from Harvey, and the crowd erupted in applause and cheers.

Noah frowned as he watched the scene unfold. In his mind, he mulled over another matter.

Earlier that morning, Avery and Tyler had held a press conference, announcing that they had ended their engagement some time ago.

Naturally, the reporters turned their questions toward Tyler.” Mister Hart, in your previous statement, you expressed confidence in Miss Yeager and said you would not break off the engagement. But now, the engagement is suddenly canceled. Could you explain why?”

Tyler’s response was blunt and to the point. “Feelings are between two individuals, but marriage involves two families, rv Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

In an instant, everyone understood what Tyler’s words implied.

Tyler believed in Avery and wanted to marry her, but that represented only himself and not his family. As the head of the Hart family, Tyler had to prioritize the greater good and could not let emotions guide his decisions.
