Chapter 1044
She took out her phone, and it was Elijah calling.
âVicky, are you free later? Grandma misses you.â âI am.â Vicky did not want to be in the same house as
Tyler and said, âCome pick me up.â
âOkay.â
40 minutes later, Elijahâs car stopped at the front gate.
Vicky dragged her suitcase and walked out of the mansion. Just as she reached the door, she ran into
Aurora, who had just returned from an audition.
Aurora looked surprised seeing Vicky with her suitcase.â Vicky, where are you going?â
âMy fiance is taking me to the Harrisonsâ house for a few days.â
âTo the Harrisonsâ house?â Auroraâs expression changed slightly. âVicky, have Tyler and I been
bothering you?â
Tylerâs injury was caused by Vicky, and logically, she should take responsibility for it, but she couldnât
rest peacefully under the same roof with them.
âNo,â Vicky said slowly. âHis grandma is getting older and needs someone to take care of her in every
aspect. Thatâs why Iâll be going there to take care of her for a while. Also, since my wedding with Elijah
is approaching, I have to keep an eye on him to prevent any problems from emerging before the
wedding.â
âButâ¦â Aurora wanted to argue, but Vicky did not give her a chance.
âMiss Starling, heâs actually waiting for me outside, Iâll be going now.â With that, she opened the car
door and got into Elijahâs car.
After a few seconds of stunned silence, Aurora hurriedly caught up. âVickyâ¦â
Vicky quickly said to Elijah, âDrive, please.â
Elijah could see that Aurora was chasing after them and felt puzzled. âVicky, why is Miss Starling here
with you?â
âStart driving first. Iâll explain later.â
Spotting Vickyâs anxious expression, Elijah floored the accelerator. Before Aurora could catch up, the
car darted off.
Sitting in the car, Vicky briefly explained that Aurora was staying at her place because of conflicts with
her parents and did not mention Tyler at all.
Although she had recently grown closer to Elijah, she did not consider him her confidante and it
decided it was best for him to know as little as possible.
After listening to Vickyâs explanation, Elijah suggested,â
Actually, Grandma has been talking about you a lot lately⦠How about staying at my familyâs house for
a few days?â
Vicky instinctively refused, âThereâs no need. Iâll stay at a hotel.â
âDonât worry. Iâll talk to my family and make sure we wonât be staying in the same room. I donât want my
girlfriend to get jealous either,â Elijah said with a smile.
Vicky hesitated at the mention of his girlfriend. Staying at his house would definitely be better than
staying at a hotel. She could also show Tyler that her relationship with Elijah was going well and
hopefully convince Tyler to give up.
Her urge to be rid of Tyler was one of the reasons why she agreed to put on an act with Elijah.
She nodded and said, âAlright, then. Sounds good.â
Vicky received a warm welcome from every member of the Harrison Family upon her arrival. No one
raised any question as to why she had decided to stay in their house or showed any confusion when
Vicky requested to be placed in a separate room on her own. Their enthusiasm filled her heart with guilt
as Elijahâs family did not know that they were merely pretending to be a couple.
After Vicky left the mansion, Tyler tried to call her.
