Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 1497

It was not until Tyler's lips brushed Vicky's neck that she spoke, sounding emotionally distant, "Are you planning to force yourself on me again?"

Tyler stopped. He lowered his gaze to Vicky, and she gazed back at him indifferently. She was not flustered, enraged, in love, or even resentful. It was as though she was an emotionless machine.

Tyler silently stared at her.

They locked eyes for a few seconds before Vicky extended her hand to push him away. This time, she succeeded.

She swiftly turned and walked away, only for her wrist to be caught again. She glanced back at Tyler mockingly.

Tyler felt struck by the cold look on her face but managed to summon a calm tone. "I'll drive you back."

"It's fine," she said. "I can manage."

"It's late." Tyler watched her intently. "It's not safe for you to go home alone. I'll drive you."

"You don't need to worry about my safety. I can have someone else come pick me up."

Chris' face surfaced in Tyler's mind as it was Chris who was supposed to drive her home.

Enraged by the realization Vicky allowed Chris to send her home but refused to let him do the same, Tyler pursed his lips, his tone growing colder. "Do you want me to drive you back, or are you planning to stay here for the night?"

Judging from the look in his eyes, Vicky knew he would not compromise further. After a few seconds of silence, she said, "Drive me back."

Tyler walked away expressionlessly.

Tyler remained silent during their drive, and Vicky did not speak either. Despite her silence, Chris' words and the image of Tyler injuring himself with a knife would resurface.

Tyler instantly froze.

Vicky did not wait for his response before getting out of the car and heading back into her building.

He watched as she left without turning back, and he froze.

...

The next day, Vicky got off work with her employees.

Jennifer and Cece both knew Vicky's birthday was approaching and started discussing how they should celebrate.

While they discussed, Cece thought of an issue. "Vicky, should we invite Noah?"
