Vicky looked at Tyler in surprise. âAre you coming along?â âI donât have anything to do today, so I can
keep you company,â Tyler replied calmly.
Vicky instinctively tried to refuse. âYou donât have to.â
Tyler frowned. âWhy not?â
âI accepted having Jade around to protect me when I go out; I never agreed to let you follow me
around,â Vicky stated firmly.
Tyler was unhappy with her explanation, but he managed to control his temper. âIâm not just following
you around. Iâm here to protect you.â
Vicky did not believe him.
âAs the childâs father, I can better ensure your safety,â he added.
It seemed Tyler had made up his mind and would not change his decision regardless of how Vicky
protested. He even added, âYou can think of me as any regular bodyguard.â
âAny regular bodyguard, huh? Heâs anything but ordinary with his looks,â Vicky thought and felt that he
was being unreasonable.
Running late, Vicky could not afford to argue any further, so she reluctantly agreed.
Once inside the car, she settled into the back seat.
Tyler turned to look at her. âWhy arenât you sitting in the front?â
âYouâre just a regular bodyguard. Itâs perfectly normal for me to sit in the backseat, right?â she coldly
replied.
Tyler fell silent.
After a while, he started the car.
Half an hour later, Vicky arrived at the coffee shop she agreed to meet Aurora.
As Vicky reached for the door handle, Tyler beat her to it and opened the door for her.
She paused, turned to look at him, and then entered the coffee shop silently.
Aurora had arrived early and was waiting inside. Her eyes lit up when she saw Vicky. âVicky, over
here!â
Vicky walked over to her.
When Aurora saw the man following Vicky, she froze and struggled to hide the disgust on her face.
âWhy is he here too?â
Vicky sat across Aurora. âDonât mind him. Heâs just a bodyguard now.â
âA bodyguard?â Aurora raised an eyebrow.
âYes. Heâs here to ensure my safety.â
Aurora eyed Tyler mockingly. âMister Hart sure knows how to spice things up.â
Tyler ignored Auroraâs sarcasm, pulled out a chair, and was about to sit next to Vicky.
âVicky, isnât it a bit inappropriate for a bodyguard to sit with his employer?â Aurora commented.
Vicky knew Aurora was deliberately making things difficult for Tyler, so she looked up at him. âAurora
isnât used to having you sit with us.â
Since Tyler had defined himself as a bodyguard, he could not exactly contradict her and had to find a
compromise.
