Chapter 1073

Aurora looked around to make sure no one was there to hear what she said before whispering, “When I

came here, I saw a lot of mysterious men dressed in black lurking around outside. My guess is they

work for Tyler, and I’m afraid that you’ll be taken away the moment you set foot outside this house.”

Vicky was shocked, but her heart turned cold the next second. ‘That Tyler never changes! So, not

taking me away by force was only a stopgap measure for him!’

“I understand. Thank you for warning me, Miss Starling,” said Vicky while trying to tamp down the

anger rising in her heart.

Aurora threw her one last look before turning around to leave. From her eyes, Vicky could see pity and

compassion.

‘Even an outsider who doesn’t understand what’s going on between Tyler and I could tell how terrifying

it is to get entangled with him,’ thought Vicky.

In the evening, Vicky went downstairs on time to have dinner. She paused in her tracks when she saw

the handsome man sitting at the dining table.

At that moment, Old Mister Hart, who was sitting next to Tyler, waved for her to sit down.

“Take a seat, Vicky. The kitchen made some of your favorite food for you tonight.”

Vicky glanced at the food on the table and discovered almost half of it was, indeed, her favorite. ‘This

must be Tyler’s doing since Old Mister Hart doesn’t know what I like.1

As if knowing what she was thinking about, Old Mister Hart smiled and said, “Tyler was the one who

asked the kitchen to make these for you. Come sit down and see if they suit your taste.”

Vicky did not want to eat with Tyler, nor did she want to offend Old Mister Hart. Thus, she went into the

dining room and picked a seat that was furthest away from Tyler.

“We’re all family here and I don’t have many rules, so there’s no need to be shy. Let’s all dig in,” said

Old Mister Hart. He then picked up his fork and knife.

Vicky, too, started eating, albeit a little absent-mindedly. She was not in a good mood, therefore had

little appetite. Even though most of the foods on the table were her favorite and they were indeed

delicious. She found herself full after a few bites.

At that moment, someone put some food in her place.

“Eat more.”

Vicky looked up and saw Tyler’s handsome and familiar face. This made her lose her appetite

completely. She quickly lowered her head and ignored the food he had placed in her place. Until the

end of the dinner, she did not touch that particular piece of food at all.

Tyler’s eyes darkened.

After dinner, Vicky did not want to stay a second longer than she had to with Tyler. So, completely

ignoring his existence, she said to Old Mister Hart, “Please excuse me. I’d like to head back up first for

a rest.”

Old Mister Hart looked at Tyler and then at Vicky before nodding gently. “You’re excused.”
