Chapter 1039

He continued in a low voice, “You should take responsibility for what you did to me. From today

onward, you will have to take care of me until my wound recovers.”

She snapped her head around to gape at him. “That’s ridiculous! Why would you-“

“Aurora and I will be staying here until I get better,” he answered.

“I won’t agree to that!”

“I’m not asking for your approval,” he said decisively.

At this moment, Vicky wished that she had stabbed him to death so that she would never have to deal

with him ever again.

“You just don’t know how to leave me alone, don’t you??”

Tyler shot her a look and mocked, “You severely injured someone. Did you not think about the

consequences before doing it?” ’

“Arrest me for my crimes and send me to prison, then.”

“What, have you developed a taste for prison now?”

Vicky said coldly, “Between having you stay here and going to prison, I’d rather choose the latter.”

Seeing the clear rejection and disdain in her eyes, Tyler’s dark eyes gradually turned cold.

“You would rather be in prison?” He sneered. “If that’s the case, I can’t grant your wish.”

Vicky rolled her eyes and scoffed.

Just as she was about to speak, footsteps could be heard coming from the direction of the guest room

and Aurora came outside.

Vicky quickly distanced herself from Tyler, who looked at her with a hint of irony but did not approach

her further.

A look of frustration appeared on Aurora’s face. “Vicky, I’m so sorry, I couldn’t find the first aid kit.”

“My foot is fine.” Vicky disregarded. “There’s no need for medication.”

“Are you sure?”

Vicky nodded.

Seeing Vicky’s confirmation, Aurora did not insist any further. She glanced at Tyler and said to Vicky,

“Vicky, there’s something… I’d like to discuss it with you alone.”

Vicky knew that Aurora wanted to discuss Tyler’s situation and stood up. “Okay.”

In the guest room, Aurora said helplessly, “Vicky, you already know about my parents’ situation. I can’t

go home right now, and I can’t stay with Tyler either, but the thing is… He’s heavily injured and needs

someone to take care of him…” As Aurora spoke, she observed Vicky’s expression. “Tyler’s

parents are not easy to get along with. If they find out about this, they won’t let this matter go. So, for

safety’s sake, I thought it would be best to keep Tyler here until he recovers. n

Vicky was speechless for a moment before saying, “You want to keep Tyler here? Aurora, aren’t you

concerned that I might take advantage of the situation? Sometimes, being so casual about things can

lead to a lot of trouble.”

“You’re right.” Aurora nodded earnestly and said with a naive smile, “But you and Tyler are exes. Since

you’re exes, it means that you’re not suitable for each other anymore.” 1

Vicky massaged her temples in frustration. If she had not witnessed how much Aurora cared about

Tyler initially and Aurora’s subsequent actions targeting her, she would have thought that Aurora had

no interest in Tyler at all! Even the most clueless woman could tell that something was going on

between Vicky and Tyler.

“Even so, you shouldn’t let your fiance live under the same roof as another woman.”’

“You’re… You’re not just any other woman…” Aurora said seriously, “You have a fiance, and he has a

fiance. It means you’ve both moved on from the past. That’s much safer than staying with just any

friend of mine.”

“Miss Starling, don’t you know what it means to be cautious? ” Vicky asked.

“I do, when we first met, I was quite cautious of you, wasn’t I?” Aurora said softly. “But through our

interactions, I

realized you’re not that kind of person, so I stopped doubting you. I’m also very secure about your

relationship with Tyler. Besides… It’s not like I’m letting you two be alone together. I’ll be living here too,

won’t I?”
