Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 1118

Tyler felt more relaxed after the kiss, and his tone of voice was no longer as rigid. "Wait here. I'll come back soon." He lowered his head and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead. "Don't worry. I will give you a satisfying ending."

With that, he let Vicky go and stepped out of the room.

Shortly after Tyler left, someone knocked on the door again, and a beautiful woman strode in elegantly. "Are you alright, Miss Shaw?"

Vicky studied Avery, who stood before her.

Avery sized up Vicky and smiled. "Although the injuries on your face may look frightening, they're just superficial wounds and nothing serious. However, Missus Hart was pushed into the water, and even if you acted in self-defense, you've overdone it."

"What are you trying to say, Miss Yeager?"

Avery smiled faintly. "I saw Tyler going to see Missus Hart just now. I assume he went to plead for you. It's only my first day at the Hart household, and I already get to witness such a spectacle... I imagine it won't be lonely for me once I settle in here."

Vicky detected the underlying meaning in Avery's words. "Settle in here?"

Avery feigned surprise. "Yes, didn't you know? I've already discussed it with Missus Hart. I'll be staying here for a while, and she has agreed..." Turning her head, Avery looked at Vicky with an ambiguous smile. "Miss Shaw, you're truly impressive. In such a short time, you managed to captivate both Tyler and Lincoln. One disregards his own injuries, while the other uses all sorts of schemes and methods... They can't even stand to see you hurt, yet both manage to stay patient until now... They're both willing to go to great lengths to have you."

Vicky's eyes narrowed. "Seeing me captured and beaten?" Comment by Bella Ash: Pardon if I missed it...but I didn't see any reference to 'captured and beaten', though I do see 'hurt'? Comment by Lam Venise: As in captured by Valencia's men and beaten by Valencia. Comment by Bella Ash: So perhaps 'Did you see me captured and beaten' is better?

Because the way Vicky said it here, it looks like she repeated what Avery said, but Avery didn't blatantly mention anything about seeing Vicky being captured and beaten. Comment by Lam Venise: I see where you are coming. I think it's best to edit Avery's words to "they can't stand seeing you captured and beaten" because I think it's more important to the plot that Avery let it slip.

Avery changed the subject and said, "I wonder which of the Hart brothers you are interested in? Or...do you want them both?"
