Chapter 1126
âWhat are you talking about?!â Vicky thought Tyler was talking nonsense.
The anger in Tylerâs eyes burned even brighter when he noticed how impatient Vicky visibly was. âHow
can she be so testy with me when sheâs so gentle and patient with Lincoln? She didnât even blame
Lincoln when she found out he was lyingâ¦* Tyler was no doubt jealous of how forgiving Vicky was to
Lincoln.
His gaze turned hostile as he ripped off Vickyâs clothes.
Then, he turned on the shower, cranked it to full blast, and washed every inch of her body, starting with
her head. She was frightened by how cold and focused Tylerâs eyes looked when he wiped down her
body.
Vicky shivered due to how cold the water was, and she was worried Tyler would get a perverted kick
out of this.
Since Tyler had a thing about cleanliness, he started to clean Vicky from the top again after he was
done washing her for the first time.
Vicky looked at Tylerâs handsome face as he repeated the same motion, and it felt like she was with a
stranger.
Suddenly, she asked, âDid you have anything to do with Gloriaâs kidnapping on the day of my
engagement to Harvey? It
Tylerâs movement only paused for a while before he quickly replied, âAnd what if I have?â
That was as good as admitting to his crime.
âAll the rumors say I seduced you and stopped you from marrying Gloriaâ¦but it was you who planned
for that to happen, wasnât it?â This time, Vickyâs voice sounded more confident.
Tyler continued to scrub her body. âYes.â
âSo he wasnât the victim at all! He was the mastermind behind all this, yet the masses attacked me
instead. He even had the cheek to give me the cold treatment in all the years we were together!* Vicky
found all of this so absurd to the point it felt laughable.
âSo all this was your act of revenge on me?â
Tyler did not answer her.
For some reason, Vicky shivered even more. It could be because the water was too cold, or her heart
had turned into ice, or she was afraid of the man in front of her.
Tyler looked up at her when he noticed her shivering.â Whatâs wrong? Are you cold?â
âOf course Iâm cold; youâve been using cold water from the start⦠But my heart is colder than that!*
sneered Vicky inwardly, though she made no such responses outwardly. Instead, she just lowered her
head.
Tyler suddenly hugged her; he wrapped his whole body around her as though he wanted to warm her
with his body heat. However, just like her, his whole body was made cold
by the freezing water. Not only was he unable to provide warmth to Vicky, but his body was even colder
than hers.
âAre you really that cold?â Tyler asked suspiciously while looking down at her.
Vickyâs face was as pale as a ghost. She immediately averted her gaze when Tyler looked down but
not fast enough to prevent him from seeing the fear in her eyes. * Sheâs scared of me,â thought Tyler
with shock.
Even though this was the effect he wanted since fear meant that the other person would fall under
oneâs control, it did not seem to have the same outcome for Vicky. Instead, she was getting further
away from him to the point of escaping from his control. This was not something he could accept.
Thinking of this, Tyler hugged Vicky even tighter. âDonât worry,â he whispered into her ear. âYou wonât
feel the cold soon.â
Vicky did not even have the time to comprehend what he was saying when he rained down kisses on
her lips.
When everything ended, Tyler carried Vicky out of the bathroom. He set her down on the sofa before
taking out the hairdryer from the bathroom to dry her hair. His slender fingers deftly and gently weaved
between her hair. Vicky sat with her head lowered. She seemed to be sleeping since she had not
moved an inch at all.
