Tyler was prejudiced against her, and Vicky knew that he would doubt that she was putting on an act
with Alex.
The look in Tylerâs eyes darkened as he fell into silence.
Her heart sank as she did not know what he was thinking. âTylerâ¦â
âWhat an interesting act,â Tyler said expressionlessly.
âAs expected,â she thought.
âSince Gloria isnât back, you are not leaving the house before sheâs returnedââ
Before Tyler could finish, Vickyâs phone rang again.
Vicky took out her phone and noticed that the caller was Harvey, who was recently added to the
blacklist on her phone.
She glanced at Tyler and answered the call. âHarvey?â
âVicky, put me on speaker.â
She narrowed her eyes and put the call on speaker.
âTyler.â Harveyâs husky voice flowed out of the phone. âIâve rescued Gloria, and Iâll take over her
recovery from now on, so donât you worry about it.â
Tylerâs expression darkened at the sound of Harveyâs voice.
Harvey did not care for Tylerâs response and said, âIf you donât want to divorce, you should take better
care of Vicky. Donât keep wasting your time on other women. Youâre just going to end up hurting Vicky
and othersâ¦â
His words were clearly a blatant challenge directed at Tyler.
The look in Vickyâs eyes darkened. No woman on earth would ever be pleased that her husband
refused to divorce her yet continue to fawn over another woman.
Tylerâs expression darkened even further.
âI am calling Vicky to inform the two of you that you donât have to worry about Gloria. As for Alexâ¦â He
paused.
A few moments later, Alexâs voice was heard. âVicky, Iâm fine. Donât worry about me.â
Vicky relaxed at the sound of Alexâs voice.
Soon, the phone was handed back to Harvey. âVicky, do you have any more questions?â
âNo,â she said.
âAlright. Iâll hang up now, then.â
Vicky ended the call and turned to look at Tyler. âAre we heading home, or are you still worried and
want to go there to have a look?â
Her tone was distinctively more distant after hearing what Harvey said.
After a long silence, Tyler said, âLetâs head home.â
â¦
At night, Vicky came out of the shower and was about to go to sleep when the bedroom door opened.
Tyler, who had been working in the study, entered the room. At the same time, a thick scent of herbs
filled the air.
Vicky scowled. âWhere is this smell coming from?â
Tyler walked over to her and handed her a glass of liquid. âDrink this.â
