Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 660

"Gloria…is my substitute? That's impossible," Vicky denied instinctively.

Noah lifted an eyebrow. "Why not? If you think it's possible for you to be a substitute for Gloria, why is it impossible for it to be the other way around? Vicky, you underestimate yourself."

She shook her head. "It's not that I underestimate myself, but...judging from my previous interaction with Tyler, he doesn't look like he loves me at all. There was a time when we were doing alright, but even then, I can tell that he struggled to feel attached." Reminded of something, she asked, "Why did I break up with Tyler?"

"I don't know about that," Noah said. "I've asked you a couple of times, but you'd dodge the question every time. I think even Tyler is clueless about that."

Vicky lifted an eyebrow. "What makes you say so?"

"When you were cheating..." Noah paused and cleared his throat. "When Tyler thought that you were cheating on him, he asked you repeatedly why you insisted on breaking up with him, but you'd say that you fell out of love.

"And that is?" she asked.

"I really don't know."

"Was it because of Gloria?"

"I don't know if he mistook you for Gloria before, but even if that's true, I know for sure that Tyler loved you judging from the way he treated you, so Gloria was never the issue."

Vicky rocked the glass in her hand in silence.

Noah took a sip of water and continued, "I've heard quite a few of the scandals concerning Tyler throughout the years, and though the press sure played a part in exaggerating them, I think that Tyler did it on purpose."

"Did what on purpose?" she asked.

"I don't think you need me to explain Tyler's personality to you. He's a ruthless and vindictive man; he's the typical villain you see in television dramas who'd kill you for crossing him..."
