Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 1155

Avery's knees went weak just from hearing Tyler's voice.

Tyler slowly turned around, and his dark, deep gaze landed on her.

Avery paled at this, and after steadying herself, she raised an eyebrow and asked, "Tyler Hart, is this how you treat a lady?"

Tyler could not be bothered with her pretense and said, "Did you poison Vicky?"

"What?" Avery looked at him blankly. "What are you talking about? I don't understand you."

"I've investigated the matter. You don't need to keep up your act," Tyler stated flatly.

Avery was bewildered for a moment before something seemed to dawn on her. "Do you really think I poisoned Vicky? When she was ill, you were so attentive to her that you took care of everything yourself. I only saw Vicky once with Lincoln on the day she woke up, and we were kept at a distance... Are you suggesting that I could have poisoned her from afar?"

The look in Tyler's eyes hardened. "Who said that all poisons have to take immediate effect?"

Avery wanted to defend herself, but then she saw Tyler produce a vial of medicine. "The seven-day incubation period is enough to clear your suspicion, especially when this bottle itself wasn't brought over by you."

Avery stared into his eyes and drawled, "I want you to marry me and be my man."

"Miss Yeager, have you forgotten that you are engaged to Lincoln?" he asked mockingly.

"Don't you worry about that," she said cheerfully. "Lincoln and I have signed an agreement to dissolve our engagement. The only reason that I kept that a secret so far is because..." She shot him a shy look. "I won't be able to stay here and see you if I announce it."

Avery was quite impressed by Lincoln, but she lost all interest in him from the moment she first met Tyler.
