Chapter 1408

Tyler might have sounded calm, but his words were unforgiving.

Vicky stood outside the door to listen for a while longer before quietly returning to bed.

A few minutes later, Tyler returned, seemingly unaware she was awake. He pulled her closer by the

waist and fell back to sleep.

The next day, Tyler returned home in the evening, just in time to see Vicky walking out of the kitchen

with freshly cooked dishes.

She paused on her path and beamed at him. “Go upstairs and get changed. Dinner is ready.”

He stared at the dish she was holding. “Did you cook again?”

“Cece and Jennifer are on a business trip and I don’t have much to do alone in my studio, so I came

home early. Go get changed. The food is getting cold,” she urged.

Tyler felt hypnotized when he saw Vicky smile. After composing himself, he nodded slightly and

ascended the stairs.

When he came back down, the food was already set on the table, and there was the soup she always

prepared for him on his left.

During the meal, Vicky said, “I’ve been trying to contact Harvey. I don’t know what happened, but I can’t

seem to get through to him.”

Halting for a moment with his fork in hand, Tyler looked at her darkly. “You tried to contact him?”

“Yes,” Vicky explained with a smile. “You agreed to my proposal, and in return, I should honor my

promise. Being a responsible person means being upfront. I figured I should clarify things.” Resolutely,

she met his gaze. “What if he suddenly appears in front of me one day or maybe gives me a call?

Wouldn’t you misunderstand? I just thought I should tell him what’s going on.”

Tyler relaxed slightly. “He’s probably just too busy lately and doesn’t have time to answer calls.”

“I guess I’ll have to wait a while, then,” said Vicky. “If he contacts me, you won’t misunderstand, right?”

“I won’t.”

Vicky smiled. “Good.”

At 10 p.m., Tyler returned to his room as usual.

He was about to head to the bathroom when a glass of milk was placed before him, followed by the

sound of Vicky’s gentle voice.

“Don’t forget to drink the milk tonight.”

Tyler lowered his gaze to find Vicky looking at him

endearingly. He glanced at the glass of milk in her hand but did not reach out for it.

“What’s the matter?” she asked with a frown.

“I don’t like drinking milk,” Tyler said.

“I know.” Her voice remained gentle. “But milk is good for your health, and it helps with sleep. You’ll get

used to it.

Have you been pretending to be drunk recently to avoid drinking your milk?”

Tyler’s gaze grew deeper, but he remained silent.

Vicky brought the glass of milk to his lips. “Do I need to feed it to you?”

His thin lips curled slightly, and his dark eyes intensified.

He leaned down and whispered into her ear, “Be it milk or even poison, I’d drink it without hesitation as

long as you feed it to me.”

Vicky’s lashes trembled gently as she felt panic bubbling inside her.

Tyler looked at the cup in her hand and muttered hoarsely,” Vicky, you know how to make me obey,

don’t you?”

Vicky’s cheeks flushed red at his words.
