Vicky had been worried sick about Harvey and was exhausted from having to deal with Tylerâs
insatiable needs.
Indeed, her mood worsened after seeing Harvey.
Tyler stared at Vicky intently and said, âIf thatâs the caseâ¦we wonât do it as many times.â
She foolishly assumed Tyler would let her rest but was utterly disappointed after hearing what he had
to say.
Before she could say anything, he lowered his head and kissed her.
The abrupt ringing of a phone shattered the passionate moment.
In the haze, Vicky heard Tylerâs voice echoing in the room.
âAvery.â
On the other end of the line came the displeased voice of a woman. âTyler, what have you been busy
with these days? Why havenât you contacted me at all?â
âIs something wrong?â
There was a pause on the other side, and the voice turned even more disgruntled. âIs it too much to
ask for a call when thereâs nothing wrong?â
âNo.â Tylerâs tone was casual. âI thought something tricky came up.â
âNot really. Itâs just been a while since Iâve seen you, and Iâve been missing you a bit.â Averyâs voice
softened. âTyler, do you have time tonight? How about we have dinner?â
Glancing at the woman beneath him, Tyler agreed, âOkay.â
âGreat!â Avery chirped. âWell, where would you like to go, Tyler?â
âItâs upto you.â
âAlright, then. Letâs go to the French restaurant we went to last time!â
âSure.â
âOh, by the wayâ¦â Avery seemed to recall something and cautiously asked, âTyler, about what we
previously agreed on⦠You said youâd still marry me after announcing that we never called off our
engagement. Is that still true?â
âYes, is there a problem?â
âNo.â Avery sighed in relief. âI was just worriedâ¦you mightâve considered the engagement dissolved for
good.â
âI havenât.â
Averyâs worries seemed to dissipate entirely. âOkay. See you tonight, then.â
âAlright.â
After hanging up, Tyler lowered his head and looked at Vicky.
âSeems like even fate is on your side.â He kissed her lips gently and huskily added, âLooks like you can
rest well today.
After everything was over, Tyler got up to take a shower.
When he returned to the bedroom after bathing, he said to Vicky, who was still lying on the bed, âIâm
heading out. Tell the servants what youâd like to eat tonight, and theyâll prepare it for you.â
âOkay,â Vicky responded drowsily.
Tyler glanced at her and leaned down to kiss her forehead.â Iâll be back.â
Vickyâs fingers clenched slightly under the covers. She almost failed to contain her emotions, but
instead, she did not respond and pretended to be asleep. Tyler did not pay it much attention either and
turned to leave the room.
After hearing the sound of the door closing, Vicky opened her eyes.
Just after sleeping with her, he was off to meet Avery.
âHe sure is the role model of all playboys,â she commented inwardly.
The news about Avery and Tyler breaking off their engagement had been in the media, and it was
known they had to end the engagement to protect Averyâs reputation.
From their recent phone call, it was evident Tyler still planned to marry Avery. Vicky had no clue what
spell Avery put Tyler under.
At first, Vicky was worried that Avery might have employed despicable tactics to control Tyler.
