Chapter 40
“What’s wrong?” Vicky’s heart sank when she looked into Tyler’s eyes. “Does it taste bad?”
It had always been stressful to interact with Tyler as his presence was intimidating by nature that suffocated
her.
She picked up her spoon and had a taste.
According to what Nanny Paterson said, Vicky was a great cook who enjoyed cooking whenever she had the time. Though she had lost her memories, she did not lose her instinct.
Worried that she might be rusty, she practiced at home in the evening for Nanny Paterson to taste.
Nanny Paterson told her that she had practiced cooking for Tyler’s sake, so all her best dishes were also his favorite dishes.
After tasting them, Vicky did not find any issues and turned to look at Tyler. “Is something wrong? You can tell me if there is, and I’ll improve my cooking next time around.”
“No,” he said hoarsely and proceeded to eat in the most elegant manner.
Impressed by his mannerism, Vicky finally realized why countless women fell head over heels for him.
A few minutes later, a piece of carrot, which was generally avoided by Tylor, appeared on his plate.
He looked up at Vicky, who then said, “Don’t be picky. You have to have a balanced diet. Carrots contain a lot
of vitamins.”
“…” After a few moments of silence, Tyler finished the carrot.
Vicky’s lips curled into a smile as she proceeded to serve the other dishes. Apart from the food that he did not like, she also made sure to serve him food that he liked.
Vicky went for a leisurely stroll after dinner and returned to her bedroom to study fashion design.
A few minutes later, she went upstairs with a glass of milk and knocked on the door to the study.
Vicky set the glass of milk on his desk. “It’s getting late. If this isn’t urgent, you should go to sleep. It’s better for your health to sleep earlier at night.”
Tyler batted his eyes and looked up.
The lights in the study room were dimmed and the light cast over Vicky’s face gently as she stood before him, her eyes glittering under the lights.
Tyler felt dazed as he looked at her.
Vicky had only come to deliver a glass of milk to show that she cared about him and was about to leave when she noticed that he was staring at her in a rather odd manner.
She could not describe the feeling, but it felt as though he was looking at someone else through her. She felt her skin crawling.
She had seen Sheila countless times before and knew that she shared nothing in common with Sheila in terms of looks, personality, work, or taste, so it was unlikely for Tyler to see Sheila through her.
‘Can he be in love with another woman other than Sheila?‘
It was not strange for a man like Tyler to have other relationships. However, though he was seen with other women before, he had not stayed with any of them for over a month.
