Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 1542

Seated before the television, Avery was moved to tears. "Dad, can't you see it now? Tyler truly believes in me!" Avery stared dreamily at the man on the screen. "All my efforts over these four years were worth it!"

Her father's brow furrowed. "Avery, a man's sweet words shouldn't be taken seriously. Over the years, Tyler hasn't shown you much affection, yet he's suddenly taking your side contrary to his usual demeanor. Don't you find that strange?"

"That's because Tyler isn't the kind of man who's adept at expressing himself!"

At this moment, Avery's heart was filled with her love for Tyler, so she was not pleased with her father's skepticism. "Besides, everyone has witnessed how I've treated him over these four years. People's hearts are fickle. Is it so weird to believe that I've moved him somehow? Would you prefer that he acts distant toward me all this time instead?"

A dismissive snort escaped her father. "If he's so fond of you, why has he refused to sleep with you all these years? A man's affection for a woman isn't limited to words."

Avery defended herself with conviction. "Tyler said he didn't want to take advantage of me. He wanted to save our first time for our wedding day."

"How utterly ridiculous!" Her father had spent years in Molivia and was not as conservative as people his age. "Men love for the sake of pleasure. He doesn't want to touch you, yet you believe he loves you deeply?"

"Tyler grew up in Zendonia; he's just more traditional and conservative."
