Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 324

A towering man stood before the window with his back facing her direction, and Vicky's breath came to a sudden halt when she saw him.

It had only been a little over a week since she last saw him, yet it felt like a lifetime had passed.

The man slowly turned around at the sound of her footsteps.

He was as cold and distant as always, and his dark, brooding eyes were like the ocean that could drown anything who stared into them.

He studied her intently with an expression, and Vicky found herself stiffening.

The look in his eyes darkened as he asked, "It's only been a week, and you've already forgotten about me?"

Vicky felt a lump in her throat, and it took every last strand of strength within her to speak. "W—Why are you here?"

"You don't want me here?"

"It's not that, but..."

Tyler seemed to know what she was trying to say. "You don't think that I'm coming to rescue you, do you?"

"You said so yourself."

"When did I say that?" Tyler shot her a half-smile.

Vicky was taken aback at first, but she soon recalled that Tyler did not mention anything about not coming to her rescue during the phone call from the day before.

Tyler simply admitted to being aware of the kidnap, and she assumed that he was not going to come for her.

"He didn't lie to you." Tyler remained expressionless. "I lied to him."

"What?"

"On the second day after you went missing, I started sending my men to look for you, and they reported that you went missing in Lovian. There aren't many surveillance cameras on the streets around here, so it was challenging to find you." Tyler's voice was smooth and silvery as he continued, "Not long after, I received a call from a stranger who claimed to know where you were, but he hid his number and location. He was using a voice changer and wouldn't provide me with any information about you, so I didn't buy it."

Tyler simply had too many enemies, and he would have been dead already if he believed every phone call he received from strangers.

Vicky nodded. "What about all the news about you after that?"

"I can't tell if my enemy captured you, so I created those scandals to make them think that I don't care about you anymore. If they were my enemy, they'd panic once they saw the news and might do something reckless."
