Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 1647

Vicky was not lying. If she were to give up her business here, she could wrap things up within three months—and that was being generous. After all, she was the owner, not an ordinary employee. Whether she decided to sell the studio or find a partner, it would be a tedious process.

Given Tyler's ability and experience, she expected him to understand.

"Three months..." he repeated, before asking, "Is three months enough?"

"It should be," Vicky replied.

"I thought you might need more time."

Vicky found his words strangely cryptic and did not have time to think them over before he continued, "Well, it's better this way. That way, you can leave everything behind."

Tyler was oddly reasonable, which confused her. She mustered a faint smile and said, "It's getting late. I should rest... I'll take a shower first."

Vicky was just about to leave when he suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"Not so soon," he said and pressed her against the window, before lowering his head to kiss her.

It had been some time since he touched her.

When Tyler called her to return, Vicky had a hunch about what he wanted. She felt a surge of disgust at the thought, which was why she considered delaying her return for a while. Since she was back, she could not stall any longer.

After everything that happened, Vicky had thought she could endure it.

However, as his kisses rained down on her, she could not help but recall the day when Avery had come to visit her and purposely tugged off her scarf.

Suddenly, Vicky felt a wave of nausea and pushed him away instinctively.

Vicky put on a robe and stepped outside slowly to find him smoking on the couch.

He leaned back lazily, and the smoke clouded his profound features.

Vicky frowned.

After not seeing him for four years, he picked up the habit of smoking and drinking, even though he stayed away from such habits when they first started dating.

Regardless, Vicky knew she had no right to say anything.

She grabbed the unfinished bottle of wine and poured two glasses. "I saw on the news that Avery and Lincoln got married," she began.
