After the waiter brought over an extra set of utensils, they started ordering.
The tension in the air was evident ever since Tyler arrived. Even Noah and Aurora, who were upset
with one another, stopped arguing.
Vicky held the menu and turned to Tyler. âWhat do you feel like having?â
He glanced at the menu and said, âI donât remember anything.â
Vicky and Tyler had been to this restaurant several times before, so she ordered a few dishes that Tyler
used to like. As they ate, the others occasionally exchanged a few words, but most of the time, silence
filled the air.
Unlike Harvey, Tylerâs aura was commanding, making everyone feel somewhat restrained. Unaware of
their reaction, Tyler calmly served Vicky some dishes on her plate. âYou said you were hungry just now.
Have some more. n
This simple action attracted the othersâ attention. With the exception of Noah, few had seen how Vicky
and Tyler interacted on a regular basis.
Tyler was known for his cold demeanor, and rumors about their troubled marriage were widespread.
Naturally, people assumed he held the upper hand in their relationship.
Yet, Tylerâs behavior did not fit the image people had in mind. His interaction with Vicky seemed
natural, with not a forced show of affection put on for others to see.
As Vicky was about to take a sip of water, Tyler called out,â Vicky.â
She turned to him, asking, âWhat is it?â
Tyler gazed intently at her and lowered his head slowly until their faces were inches away from one
another.
Startled, Vicky stammered, âWhat⦠What are you doing?â
Holding a tissue, Tyler gently wiped the corner of her lips.â You had something on your lip.â
It turned out that she had something on her lip, and she misunderstood his intention.
Knowing what she was thinking, Tyler smiled. He leaned closer did you think I was going to do?â he
questioned seductively.
Vickyâs cheeks flushed, and she could barely lift her head.
Though Tyler had not done anything to her, their proximity still made onlookers uncomfortable.
Everyone present, except for Vicky, was single, and seeing this scene made them so uncomfortable
that they instinctively averted their gazes.
âAre these two here to solve problems or just to torment us single people?â they thought in unison.
Harvey, who sat next to Vicky, stared at the scene with a dark look in his eyes.
âMister Sparks,â Tyler called out abruptly.
Harvey furrowed his brow and looked at him.
Tyler casually placed his long arm on the back of Vickyâs chair, an obvious display of intimacy and
possessiveness, as he looked at Harvey. Noticing that Harvey had hardly eaten anything, Tyler feigned
confusion. âWhy arenât you eating? Are you not hungry, or do you not like the food?â
Aurora rolled her eyes, Cece and Jennifer exchanged knowing glances, while Noah looked up at the
ceiling, impressed by just how cruel Tyler was.
