Vicky wanted nothing to do with Tyler and his forwardness, but she feared even more offending him.
Left without a choice, she remained still and let him kiss her.
âIâm going now.â Vicky lowered her head and said, â Please tell Gloria Iâm leaving.â She then pushed
him away.
Tyler grabbed her wrist. âIâll send you back.â
âNo. Gloria is still-â
âCome on,â interjected Tyler, ignoring what she said, and walked out of the restaurant while pulling her
hand.
Vicky struggled against his hold, but one look from Tyler made her freeze entirely.
Reaching the car, she reached toward the handle of the backseat door, but before she could get it,
Tyler said clearly, âSit up front.â
Stunned, Vicky looked at Tyler.
Tyler saw her look and said faintly, âAre you waiting for me to carry you into the car?â
She stood still for a few seconds, went to the front passenger side, and opened the door to get into the
car.
After they were both in the car, Tyler took out his phone and made a call.
Vicky looked at him and did not make a sound. She knew he was calling Gloria.
The car was so quiet that she could hear her heartbeat.
Soon, the call connected, and she could hear them talking clearly.
âTyler?â Gloriaâs clear, alluring rang through the speaker.
âI have something to do, so Iâm leaving now,â announced Tyler aloofly.â Youâll have to head back
yourself.â
âAlright. I understand.â Gloria paused and said, âTH leave when Vicky is back.â
âSheâs going back with me,â Tyler said.
After several seconds of pause, the woman on the other end replied,â
Okay. I understand.â
Tyler started the car engine after he ended the call.
Vicky looked at the scenery outside of the window. Neither of them said anything on the way back
home.
Her eyebrows raised when Tyler parked the car in the garage. He would typically park the car in front of
the mansion if he wanted to go out an hour or two later.
âHe parks in the garage. Is heâ¦â
She looked at him and hesitated in saying what she was thinking.
Tyler raised his brow. âWhatâs wrong?â
âYouâre not going out later?â Vicky asked.
âOut? Where?â
âTo where youâve been sleeping,â replied Vicky.
âWhere Iâve been sleeping, you say?â Tyler looked at her meaningfully. âAre you asking me to leave?â
âNo,â Vicky replied faintly, âI thought youâre not used to sleeping back here.â
From the day they got married, Tyler actually did not spend a lot of time back at home. He did not
return home ever since he proposed to have a divorce with her.
Not only did he kiss her, but he also went back home with herâ¦
This was not a good sign.
When they got upstairs, Tyler went to take his shower and finished minutes later.
His eyebrows furrowed when Vicky was nowhere in the bedroom.
Vicky stared at the computer screen in the study, having sat still for several minutes.
Yes, she was avoiding Tyler.
Their divorce procedure had not been finalized yet. This was his home, so she had no right to stop him
from coming home.
As things progressed to this point, she did not know how to face him, so she decided to hide in this
room.
