Chapter 1664
Adam could tell that Tyler and Vickyâs relationship had improved and decided not to hold back. âOld
Mister Hart has something important he wants to discuss with you. He wants you to come over.â
Tylerâs parents and Old Mister Hart had not returned to their home country yet and were temporarily
residing in the estate where they used to live.
âWhat important matter?â Tyler asked.
Adam glanced at Vicky, then whispered, âIt seems to be related toâ¦Miss Avery Yeager.â
Tyler narrowed his eyes. âI see.â
Vickyâs gaze flickered, and she glanced at Tyler to find the same expressionless look on his face.
âShould I drop Ms. Shaw off first?â Adam asked.
âThat wonât be necessary.â
Adamâs expression shifted slightly, but he dared not to argue with Tyler.
Vicky did not want to meet Tylerâs family, so she suggested,â You should go ahead. I wonât come
along.â
Tyler shot her a sidelong glance. âWhy not?â
âWhatever Old Mister Hart wants to tell you must be very important, so I shouldnât be there,â she
explained.
âNonsense.â Tyler squeezed Vickyâs hand. âYouâll have to meet them sooner or later.â
Understanding his implication, Vicky was about to say something but swallowed her words under his
insistent gaze.
As they sat in the car, Vicky was about to browse through the latest news. However, messages from
her friends kept popping up.
Cece, Jennifer, Aurora, and Noahâs messages appeared one after another. Even Harvey, whom she
had not contacted in a while, texted her.
[Vicky, youâre finally back! You donât know this, but news about your upcoming marriage to Tyler has
been all over the place!] Cece typed.
[Vicky, is this picture really of you and Mister Hart?] Jennifer asked in response to the bridal photoshoot
Vicky and Tyler had done for Helenâs creation.
[Is the wedding date set?] Aurora chimed in.
[You work fast! Well done!] Noah sent along with a clapping emoji.
[Vicky, are you really going to marry him?] Harvey typed.
Before returning, Vicky had posted on her social media. She had not expected her friends to respond
so quickly.
Vickyâs gaze screened through the messages. She toyed with the idea of replying but decided against it
in the end.
She exited the chat app and began perusing the latest news. Most of the headlines were about her and
Tyler vacationing together, dating, and speculating about an impending wedding. All the news outlets
had plastered her face to protect her privacy.
Apart from that, there was nothing else. Even news about Avery had faded away.
The airport was over an hourâs drive from Old Mister Hartâs estate.
Vicky had spent the whole day on a plane and was exhausted, so she leaned back in her seat and
inadvertently dozed off.
She was not sure how long she had been asleep, but she suddenly felt an itching sensation on her
cheek.
In her drowsy state, she opened her eyes and found herself gazing into a pair of jet-black eyes.
For a moment, she saw fleeting emotions in those eyes. It felt strangely familiar, as if she had been
transported back four years in time.
âAre you awake?â Tylerâs cold voice broke the silence.
All the emotions in his eyes seemed to vanish within a split moment.
