Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 579

Tyler's lips curled into a smile. "Are you complaining that my gifts aren't long-lasting?"

"I'm not—it's the thought that counts. I like anything that you gave me, and…" She gave him a look. "I'm very happy when a straight man like you who knows nothing about romance actually gave me flowers. Have you forgotten what you gave me before?"

This did not embarrass Tyler. He placed his thin lips near her ears and whispered softly, "Then, you should teach me more next time, Miss Shaw."

Vicky blushed and pushed him away. "I'm being serious."

"I know." Tyler embraced her in his arms and said softly, "Your anniversary gift isn't ready yet. It's going to take a while longer."

Vicky was curious. "What is it?"

"You'll know after a while."

"Alright." Vicky did not ask further. She grabbed his hand and had him sit with her at the piano. "What do you want to hear? I'll play it for you."

"The Moonlight Bay," said Tyler.

"Aren't you bored hearing this song over and over again?" Vicky asked.

"No."

"I really don't know why you're persistent with this song," she muttered under her breath.

Tyler did not reply.

Vicky adjusted herself. Just as she was going to play the song, however, Tyler grabbed her hand out of the blue. "You can only play this song for me to hear in the future," he said.

Vicky was dumbstruck. "But I need to perform or compete occasionally."

"You can play other songs."

She smiled. "Why are you so overbearing?"

Tyler's solemn gaze looked into her eyes.

He grabbed her by the neck and tightened his fingers as he pulled her toward him. "Vicky Shaw!" he snarled. "How did you even manage to sleep?"

This effectively woke Vicky from her stupor. "What's wrong with you?!"

"You're asking me that?" Tyler looked down at her helpless face. All the anger he had suppressed for many years had erupted today.

It was this exact innocent face that cheated him in the past.

"Pretending you don't know anything when Gloria exposed you, pretending you don't know anything when you lost the child… And now, you continue to pretend to lose your memories…

"Vicky Shaw, aren't you tired of the acting? Tell me, are you enjoying every moment of it?"

Vicky began gasping for air. "W—What are you talking about?"

Tyler let go of her neck and looked at her with disgust.
