Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 1648

Tyler took a drag from his cigarette and responded with a nonchalant hum.

Although Vicky witnessed the whole incident, she was not entirely clear on what had happened.

She picked up a wine glass and handed it to him, asking, "What's the deal with Avery and Lincoln?"

Taking the glass from her, Tyler's voice remained emotionless. "It's exactly what you saw."

'He might as well not answer my question,' she thought.

She raised her own glass, lightly clinking it against his. After taking a sip of wine, she continued, "What I mean is...she's always been infatuated with you. Why would she sleep with Lincoln?"

Vicky carefully considered the events of that day, and the more she thought about it, the stranger it seemed. Even if Avery was desperate, she could have chosen to sleep around on another occasion instead of Mister Hart's birthday banquet, especially when Tyler was present as well.

Most importantly, Avery got caught in the act.

Tyler extinguished his cigarette and responded with cold detachment, "You should be asking them this question, not me."

Vicky fell silent once again, struggling to find words for what felt like an eternity. When she finally spoke, she asked, "You've gone to great lengths to pave the way for Avery, and she ends up with someone else... You must feel terrible about it, right?"

"Hm?" Tyler's lashes fluttered slightly. "What are you trying to say?"

"Nothing, I just...wanted to comfort you."

"Comfort me?" Tyler raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Why are you concerned about my feelings all of a sudden?"
