Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 1534

The black cat was unafraid of the unfamiliar surroundings and remained as free-spirited as it would at home.

Vicky walked over. "Panther."

Panther meowed at her and leaped over to Tyler before brushing its body up against the hem of his trousers.

Tyler scowled and backed away in disgust.

"I'm sorry." Vicky hastily went over to pick Panther up. However, the usually obedient cat refused to let her and continued to circle Tyler.

Tyler shot Vicky a sidelong glance. "Are you really the owner?"

"Not really," she said awkwardly. "My friend is the owner. The cat went missing, and I'm just helping to look for it."

"Is that so?" He said. "Guests aren't allowed here, so it's quite a coincidence that you ended up here, looking for your cat."

Vicky discerned the irony in his tone and chose not to defend herself. Instead, she silently picked up the cat.

Tyler watched her actions with cold eyes but did not intervene. He had no fondness for small animals, and whichever direction the cat went hardly mattered to him.

Panther struggled in Vicky's arms, seemingly eager to join Tyler's side. She held the cat tightly, saying, "Thank you, Mister Hart. I'll be on my way."

As she passed by Tyler, Panther suddenly scratched Vicky with its paw.

The unexpected pain caught Vicky off guard, and the cat slipped from her grasp.

Instinctively trying to catch it, she accidentally bumped into the couch leg.

Losing her balance, she tumbled heavily in a less-than-graceful manner. However, the anticipated surge of pain did not come as she thought. Instead, a familiar, refreshing scent wafted to Vicky's nose.
