Chapter 613
Noah immediately turned on his heels and ran.
Vicky turned to stare at Tyler sharply, who then said to her, âIâm just here to apologize and make up for
my mistake.â
âAre you making up for your mistake, or causing a misunderstanding?â
âWhat kind of a misunderstanding?â
Vicky was rendered speechless and gritted out, âThat the two of you are seeing each other.â
âOh,â he said carelessly. âLetâs just eat.â
Furious, she shouted, âTyler Hart!â
He shot her a look. âEven if thereâs a misunderstanding, theyâre judging me, not you, so why are you all
riled up?â
He served food to her plate. Noah left you behind, so itâs not against the rules for me to stay with you.â
Vicky felt defeated as Tyler always seemed capable of finding a way to get what he wanted.
Tyler had kept his promise and did not interfere with their dates after that, but he continued to watch
them from afar everytime.
What confused Vicky further was that Noah would often make up an excuse to leave as soon as he
arrived on the previous date.
âVicky, Iâm sorry, but my neighbor just called and said that a thief broke into my house. I should go back
to see whatâs happening.â
âIâm sorry, Vicky. My neighbor said that my cats ran away.â
âMy juniors in the school club are fighting for some reason, so I need to head backâ¦â
â⦠My dissertation went missing. My lecturer is asking me to write another one.â
There were times when Noah would call and excuse himself from showing up altogether.
âVicky, my house went up in flamesâ¦â
âVicky, I have a flat tireâ¦â
Vicky, Iâve been robbed by a bunch of thugsâ¦â
âVicky, a flower pot fell from the sky and hit me right in the headâ¦â
âVicky, some thugs came and beat me upâ¦â
In the end, Noah laid in the hospital bed with injuries all over his body, and he finally caved. âVicky, why
donât youâ¦find someone else to help?â
He could no longer withstand all the torture, and any lingering feelings he had toward Vicky vanished
completely.
âTyler Hart is a madman!â he thought. âIf this keeps up, Iâm going to die.â
Vicky studied the bruises on Noahâs face and argued, â Maybe these are just coincidences⦠Tyler isnât
that kind of person.â
Noahâs lips twitched.
None of these things had happened before he knew Vicky, and he simply had not stopped running into
trouble ever since he started pretending to be Vickyâs boyfriend, so he could not think of anyone apart
from Tyler who could have done it.
âUm⦠Vicky, itâs not that I donât want to help you⦠You see the state Iâm in right now. Whether Tyler is
pulling the strings or not, Iâm running out of luck lately, so I canât go on dates with you, and you wonât
get the result you want, n
Tyler would follow them whenever they went out for a date, and since Noah had gotten into accidents
every single time, Tyler would take his date and claim Vickyâs time himself.
What a ruthless man,â Noah thought. âIf this carries on, he might just poison me to death.â
Though the thought seemed exaggerated, Noah did not doubt that Tyler was capable of doing so.
He sighed and looked up at Vicky.
