Chapter 1490
Chris looked at Vicky intently, and Vicky knew it did not matter if Chris had come to show her the
photos on purpose. What mattered was that he was stating a fact.
The two fell into silence until Aurora returned with a new set of clothes. âVicky, go ahead and get
changed.â
Vicky nodded and got up with the bag Aurora handed to her.
Since Chris was still around, Aurora could not follow Vicky out. She smiled at Chris and asked, âHave
you eaten? Would you like to join us, Mister Leonheart?â
She was merely trying to be polite, but to her bewilderment, Chris nodded. âIf itâs not too much trouble,
sure.â
Aurora froze and maintained a polite smile. âSince Vicky has gone to get changed, why donât you go
ahead and order?â
With that said, she waved the waiter over.
When Vicky emerged, Aurora and Chris were already engaged in a somewhat casual conversation.
Aurora had deduced Chrisâ identity and his connection to Vicky at this point and mentioned she invited
Chris for dinner with Vicky. Vicky did not show any reluctance.
Once the waiter served their dishes, the three of them dined in silence.
After the meal, Chris excused himself to visit the restroom.
When Aurora went to settle the bill as they finished, she was informed that someone else had taken
care of it.
By the time Chris returned, Aurora smiled and said, âI was planning to treat Vicky to a meal today, but
you beat me to it, Mister Leonheart.â
Chris shot her a faint smile. âBack in the day, Vicky was always the one treating me to meals. Now that
I finally have a chance to reciprocate, you wouldnât have the heart to steal that opportunity from me,
would you?â
Aurora was just joking with Chris and was not genuinely upset, so she said, âIâll treat you next time,
then.â
As they conversed, the three of them left the restaurant. Chris displayed his gentlemanly manner and
asked, âWhere are you staying? Iâll drop you off.â
Aurora glanced at Vicky and, seeing no objection from her, felt relieved. âThank you, Mister Leonheart.â
âDonât mention it.â
Aurora lived relatively close by, so Chris quickly drove her home.
Once Aurora got out of the car, that left Vicky alone with Chris.
When Aurora was present, she had been able to steer the conversation and alleviate some of the
awkwardness. With Aurora gone, however, silence loomed over the car.
Staring at the night sky and the fleeting scenery outside the window, Vicky broke the silence.
âYouâre not someone who doesnât know boundaries, and youâre not one to enjoy stirring up trouble. You
suddenly showed up to me today, and our meetings have always been perfectly timed to cause trouble.
This canât just be a coincidence, can it?â
The car was dimly lit. Vicky sat in the back seat, unable to discern Chrisâ expression.
After a moment of silence, Chris spoke.
