Chapter 1652
Vicky fell silent before saying, No.
Cece seemed to understand what she was trying to say and did not press further. âVicky, enjoy
yourself, and leave the work to us.â
âAlright, feel free to call me if anything comes up.â
Not long after hanging up, Tyler came to her door.
Vicky walked out of the room with her suitcase.
The plane touched down at the Yudonia airport just as night came. There was a time difference
between Zendonia and Yudonia, and at this moment, it was already late at night in Yudonia.
After disembarking, Adam drove them to a luxurious six-star hotel where they would be staying.
Adam greeted her without any hint of surprise or familiarity, maintaining a respectful and formal
distance.
Vicky, too, pretended not to know Adam at all.
The scenery outside the window rushed by as they drove. The streetlights cast scattered patterns on
the ground.
Vicky gazed at the cityscape outside.
In recent years, she had traveled frequently, but it had
always been for work.
She rarely had the opportunity to truly enjoy the places she visited. Her career had advanced rapidly
precisely as she hardly took a break for herself. Her life had been filled with work these past four years,
and only during work did she find herself free from the mental clutter.
âWhat are you looking at?â Tyler asked.
âIâm just admiring the night view,â she replied.
Tyler furrowed his brow slightly in puzzlement. âWhatâs there to see in the night view?â
âFor someone like you whose time carries so much value, maybe itâs not worth it to stop and admire the
view.â
âAre you mocking me for not being romantic enough?â
Vicky turned and smiled. âYouâre reading too much into it, Mister Hart.â
Tyler did not argue further.
Half an hour later, Adam parked the car in front of the hotel. He respectfully opened the car doors for
them and retrieved their luggage with a polite smile.
Vicky felt uncomfortable watching Adam carry her luggage and said, âAdam, I can handle my own
luggage.â
Adam skilfully avoided her hands and said politely, âDonât worry about this, Ms. Shaw. Thereâs no need
for you to trouble yourself.â
Vicky vividly remembered how much Adam despised her.
Even as they pretended to be strangers, she could not shake that strange feeling. âItâs no trouble; I can
manage.â
âMs. Shaw, let me take care of it.â
The conversation between the two caught Tylerâs attention. He looked over and asked, âWhatâs going
on?â
Adam quickly explained, âMs. Shaw was concerned that I might not be able to handle the luggage, so
she wanted to carry it herself.â
Tyler glanced at Vicky and said, âhe can handle it. Let him take care of it.â
Seeing Tylerâs response, Vicky did not insist further.
While waiting for the elevator, Tyler seemed to remember something and said, âAdam, you and Vicky
mustâve met before, right?â
Adam stared at Tyler, a bit puzzled by why he was suddenly asking this.
âI heard from my grandfather that you were the one who handled the arrangements when Vicky and I
got married,â Tyler added.
Adam still did not quite understand why Tyler was bringing this up but responded, âYes, thatâs correct.â
âWhen I saw the two of you just now, you didnât seem to recognize each other,â Tyler said.
A cold sweat broke out on Adamâs forehead. He forgot about that!
