Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 1646

Noah dared not to take up any more of Vicky's time and swiftly settled the bill after finishing his food. Aurora was deeply impressed by how quickly he managed to eat.

Vicky lost her appetite after answering Tyler's call.

…

Upon returning home, she saw Tyler's leather shoes on the shoe rack. She changed into her slippers and went upstairs.

The bedroom door was not fully closed, and she noted the lights in the room were switched on.

She stepped into the bedroom and found Tyler standing by the window in a bathrobe, holding a wine glass.

The scent of wine filled the air.

She glanced at the table on the side and spotted a bottle of wine that was half-finished.

For some reason, Vicky felt like she was suffocating.

"When did you come back?" she asked.

He did not turn around, but his indifferent voice reached her ears. "Come here."

Sensing that he was in a bad mood, Vicky walked over as instructed.

Tyler handed her an empty wine glass. She took it, picked up the bottle of red wine from the table, and poured a glass for him, before handing it back to him.

Tyler watched her actions and chuckled. "You're suddenly so obedient; it's making me a bit uncomfortable."

"What if...you go back first, and I'll follow you to Molivia after wrapping things up here?" she suggested hesitantly.

Vicky did not dare to mention that she did not want to go to Molivia at all.

Tyler was known for not changing his mind easily, and the more she resisted, the harder he would make things for her. It might be better to stall instead and hope he would lose interest in her. Once he was sure about his new fiancee, he might even forget about her.

The ceiling light poured a bright glow into the room. Tyler's deep, dark eyes fixed on her. Despite the aroma of wine wafting from him, his eyes remained clear as water, unclouded by the wine's effect.

Under this gaze, it was as if all shadows had nowhere to hide. A thin sheen of cold sweat appeared on Vicky's back.

"Get the work here done?" Tyler's voice was calm but not dismissive. "How long?"

Seeing that he had not outright refused, Vicky was relieved. She considered his question for a moment and said, "It'll take at least three months."
