Semua Bab Loving You In Secret: Bab 1401 - Bab 1410

"Sure enough, it doesn't feel so good," remarked Tyler.Vicky walked over and frowned when she spotted the cigarette between his fingers. "Why are you smoking again?" She pouted and snatched the cigarette before putting it out. "You've just recovered. You can't smoke and drink."Tyler did not stop her and simply stared at her intently. "My secretary said that you came to the office looking for me yesterday."Vicky's gaze flickered as she answered, "Yeah. You weren't there."His gaze was steady as he asked, "Why didn't you call?""I didn't want to get in the way of your work, so I didn't call." She looked away and continued, "Your secretary told me that you went out to sign a contract, so I left. I wanted to tell you about it when you came home, but you came home late and drunk, so..."Tyler pulled her toward himself.Caught off-guard, Vicky tumbled into his embrace. His sturdy arms securely wrapped around her slender waist, settling her onto his lap.Their faces were inches awa

Vicky relaxed and asked gently, "Are you coming home for dinner tonight?""I'm free tonight."Vicky unfastened her seatbelt and kissed Tyler's cheek. "I'll be waiting for you at home, then."Tyler hummed in response.Once she got out of the car, Vicky stood as she watched Tyler's car drive off. She remained still for a few more moments before turning to step into a restaurant to order food.The new studio Tyler bought for her was located at the center of the city with great views and transportation everywhere.Vicky packed the food she ordered and walked back to her studio.When she knocked on the door to the lounge, a melodious voice responded, "Come in."She went inside and asked, "How are you feeling today? Are your wounds still hurting?""I'm fine now."Despite trying to appear nonchalant, Harvey's slightly weakened voice and his pale face betrayed his true condition.The environment in Vicky's studio was certainly not on par with a hospital. Even though Ted had prepared

Harvey had helped her more times than she could count and even once aided Tyler, but in the end, he faced bankruptcy and assassination. To make matters worse, she almost led Harvey to his demise due to her carelessness.It was an understatement to say Vicky felt guilty.Harvey chuckled. "After being enemies with Tyler for years, I know the kind of person he is. Given his current situation, the odds of him wanting to eliminate me are quite high."He had been assisting Vicky with analyzing medications, and he had a general idea of Tyler's condition.Harvey looked at Vicky and continued, "With someone as obsessive as him, once he's set his mind on something, it's hard for him to change his decision. I'm not sure what's happened between you two recently, but I assume Tyler has misunderstood the situation again."Vicky had not expected Harvey to be so perceptive.Apologies were hardly enough to make up for what Harvey had been through, yet she had no idea what else to say apart from a

Tyler might have sounded calm, but his words were unforgiving.Vicky stood outside the door to listen for a while longer before quietly returning to bed.A few minutes later, Tyler returned, seemingly unaware she was awake. He pulled her closer by the waist and fell back to sleep....The next day, Tyler returned home in the evening, just in time to see Vicky walking out of the kitchen with freshly cooked dishes.She paused on her path and beamed at him. "Go upstairs and get changed. Dinner is ready."He stared at the dish she was holding. "Did you cook again?""Cece and Jennifer are on a business trip and I don't have much to do alone in my studio, so I came home early. Go get changed. The food is getting cold," she urged.Tyler felt hypnotized when he saw Vicky smile. After composing himself, he nodded slightly and ascended the stairs.When he came back down, the food was already set on the table, and there was the soup she always prepared for him on his left.During the me

As the footsteps approached, Vicky's heart raced.Just as she was about to cave and step outside, the footsteps stopped.It seemed like Tyler was only here to look around, so he turned the lights off and left.The door closed, and darkness returned to the room.Vicky relaxed and collapsed onto the ground weakly. Not daring to stay too long, she got up immediately, knowing Tyler was likely looking for her in other rooms.She could tell Tyler was walking toward the stairs and was heading downstairs to look for her.She hurriedly stepped out of the study, put the flashlight away, and swiftly returned to the bedroom.About five minutes later, she heard footsteps approaching again. She opened the door after taking a second to ready herself.Clad in his pajamas, Tyler stood at the doorway and was about to open the door.As he saw her emerging from the bedroom, he hesitated for a moment."Where did you go?" Vicky was the first to speak.His towering figure cast a shadow over the co
