Chapter 1029
As if worried that Vicky was going to say no to her, Aurora immediately added, âIâll pay you rent money
and⦠I can cook three meals a day. I promise I wonât cause you any trouble.-
Vicky already found Aurora very tiring after spending the whole day shopping with her, yet she was
asking to stay at her place now. There was no way Vicky could say yes to that.
âIâm sorry. It wouldnât be convenient for me if you stayed at my place. Itâs best if you stay somewhere
else,â said Vicky without hesitation.
âVicky⦠I only came back recently, so I donât know anywhere I can go. I really have nowhere else to
go.â Aurora looked at Vicky with her big sad puppy dog eyes. âPlease let me stay at your place for a
little while. Pretty please?â
Vicky shook her head. âDonât you have a fiance? You can stay at his place.â
âNo. Itâs not appropriate for us to stay under the same roof when weâre not married yet,â said Aurora in
a small voice.
Vicky was a little shocked by what she said. âBut you guys are engaged to one another! Why would it
be inappropriate?â
âMy parents are very conservative. They think itâs wrong for me to stay with him when weâre not married
yet. Soâ¦â Aurora looked at her. âI canât stay with Tyler.â
âYou can ask him to find you a place to stay.â
Aurora shook her head. âNo. My parents will think that Iâm living with him. Besides⦠itâs not just them.
Iâve been brainwashed into thinking this is wrong, too, so I canât⦠stay with him even if I wanted to.â
âYou can stay in a hotel, then. They have security there.â
âNo⦠Iâm scared of staying aloneâ¦â
Vicky was starting to get a headache. âMiss Starling, itâs really not that convenient for me if you stay at
my place.â
âWhy?â Aurora looked at her pitifully. âIs it because this used to be Tylerâs house? Donât worry. I donât
mind at all. Iâm actually quite curious as to what the house looks like.â
âIâm really sorry.â
Auroraâs voice became even more pitiful as she pleaded,â Vicky, just for a while. Please?â
However, Vickyâs resolve was absolute. She would not give in no matter how much Aurora pleaded.
In the end, Aurora had no choice but to sadly part ways with Vicky.
The exhausted Vicky finally reached home.
She put the shopping bags on the sofa. Aurora insisted that she accept the gifts and even went to the
extent of threatening her, saying that she would follow her home if Vicky did not take them. Thus, Vicky
had no choice but to accept the gifts.
She was so tired that she did not even have the energy to go upstairs. She slumped down on the sofa
and closed her eyes to rest for a while. Suddenly, she heard the sound of footsteps coming from
upstairs.
She opened her eyes in horror, only to see the tall and strong Tyler dressed in a white bathrobe walking
gracefully down the stairs. That further spoiled her already bad mood.
âWhy are you still here, Tyler?â
Tyler glanced at her and answered, âWhere should I be, if not here?â
âYou should have left a long time ago.â âAnd go out naked?â asked Tyler coldly.
