Chapter 1355
Cece did not fully agree with Jennifer. âBut Mister Hart has oppressed Vicky before this and given her
the cold shoulder multiple times! How is that considered caring?â
However, Jenniferâs words silenced all of Ceceâs disagreement.
âIf he truly didnât care about Vicky, why has he been unwilling to let her go or divorce her?â
After Vicky patiently comforted him, Tylerâs emotions gradually stabilized.
Once they got in the car and fastened their seatbelts, she noticed Tyler rubbing his temples, looking
uncomfortable.
âTyler, are you okay? Do you have a headache?â Vicky asked, concerned.
Calmly, he replied, âI probably didnât get enough rest yesterday.â
An ominous feeling loomed over Vickyâs heart. She did not say anything more and suggested, âLetâs
sleep early tonight, then.â
Unaware of her inner thoughts, Tyler responded, âSure.â
Though they did not discuss her âdisappearanceâ again, Vicky clearly felt that Tyler had become more
reliant on her
than before. More precisely, he was guarding her.
Previously, she could wake up early to prepare breakfast for Tyler. After what happened, however, he
would not let her make breakfast anymore as she would be out of his sight.
At the same time, Vicky noticed Tyler had become more of a homebody. He used to attend social
functions and events. Lately, however, he would return home after work and refused to attend any
social functions even when Vicky offered to go with him.
When he was not too busy, Vicky would try to invite him to go out, yet Tyler would refuse to leave the
house. In the end, Vicky could only stay at home with him while he worked.
She contacted Isabella behind Tylerâs back and learned that Isabellaâs plan was still in the making.
She told Vicky not to worry and be patient.
A month quickly passed.
Due to her companionship and newfound patience, Vicky finally managed to gain the freedom of not
having to accompany Tyler to meetings while he worked.
One day, much to her bewilderment, Tyler invited Vicky to a restaurant for lunch.
Recently, Tyler had been leading a secluded life with a fixed schedule every day, bound to his office
even during lunch.
Vicky had asked Isabella about it, and Isabella explained,â Your previous âdisappearanceâ had quite an
impact on Mister Hart. He now perceives the outside world as unsafe, fearing
that if he takes you out, youâll disappear again. I guess thatâs why heâs becoming more reclusive. This
is a form of emotional seclusion; many patients with depression tend to avoid facing the outside world.
Missus Hart, you mustnât further agitate him in the near future, or his condition might worsen. Try to
fulfill any of his requests whenever possible. If his condition improves, it will show.â
Vicky felt it was a sign that Tyler was recovering since he was willing to go outside for lunch.
âWhy arenât you ordering anything? Do you not like the food here?â Tylerâs voice snapped her out of her
thoughts.
She sobered and realized she had been staring at the menu fora longtime.
âNo.â She smiled. âItâs just been so long since we dined out that I donât know what to order.â
Both Vicky and Tyler had not gone outside for food for over a month and a half.
