Chapter 1442

Vicky felt distressed. “Did you-‘

Tyler, who was fully dressed, interrupted, “Aren’t you going to shower?”

He seemed reluctant to listen to her or talk about what happened earlier.

Vicky studied him for a while, her expression turning grim.” I’ll go now.”

She put on her slippers and headed for the bathroom.

Halfway, however, her knees felt weak. She was about to collapse onto the ground when a hand

caught her.

“Thank you,” Vicky muttered before walking into the bathroom.

Tyler watched as Vicky’s silhouette disappeared into the bathroom, his gaze gradually darkened.

By the time Vicky emerged from the bathroom, half an hour had passed.

Judging from Tyler’s expression, it seemed he had forgotten their plans again. She assumed that their

date was going to be canceled.

Although Vicky had grown accustomed to such situations, a strong sense of sorrow welled up within

her. She desperately wished she could quickly eliminate the one who was the root cause of all this.

Exiting the bathroom, she assumed Tyler had left, only to be stunned by the sight of his familiar figure

in the bedroom.

“Why are you here?” Vicky questioned.

Tyler was leaning against the couch, his eyes on his phone. Upon hearing her arch of his eyebrow

furrowed slightly. “Why can’t I be here?”

“Aren’t you supposed to be at work?”

Tyler looked at her and said calmly, “Didn’t we agree to go out for a date today?”

Vicky’s gaze flickered. “You…remember?”

The fleeting silence that followed was so brief that it was nearly imperceptible.

Tyler asked, “What do you mean?”

Bringing up a patient’s illness to them was considered taboo, so she explained hesitantly, “I noticed you

didn’t look well earlier, so I thought you wouldn’t want to go outside after all.”

“I was just thinking about business matters earlier,” Tyler said, glancing at the time. “Let’s go. We

should have lunch first.”

Vicky stood still, not moving. “Has the business issue been resolved?”

“Yes.”

Vicky remained suspicious.

Realizing she was not budging, Tyler gently pulled her into his embrace, lowering his head to murmur

in her ear, “Do you not want to go out? Would you rather stay at home and do something else with

me?”

Vicky blushed, and the tension that had been hanging in the air dissipated. Pushing him away gently,

she replied, “I’m going to change.”

Tyler did not stop her.

After finishing lunch, the two walked out of the house. Once in the car and they both buckled up, Tyler

spoke, “Where would you like to go?”

Vicky pondered for a few seconds and said, “I haven’t decided yet.”

Tyler started the car.

Lately, Vicky had been preoccupied with Tyler’s condition, leaving her little time to think about anything

else. As she gazed out at the passing scenery, she found it difficult to muster the mood for leisure.

In her absent-minded state, the car unexpectedly pulled up at the entrance of Stoneford City’s largest

theme park.

Seeing the bustling crowd and the vibrant, colorful balloons, Vicky felt as though she was in a dream.
