Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 786

Though she was home late, Tyler rarely returned home before midnight as of late, too.

After changing into her slippers, she was about to head upstairs when she caught a faint scent of tobacco from the living room.

She looked over and saw a red dot flashing in the darkness.

Her heart threatened to leap out of her chest, and she came close to screaming.

After taking a few deep breaths, she calmed herself and turned on the lights in the living room.

Snap! The chandelier above her lit up in blinding light, and she frowned in discomfort.

After a while, she got used to the light and asked, "Tyler, what are you doing here?"

The man stood before the balcony, his towering figure casting a long shadow over the wall.

From where she was standing, she could only see the side of his face.

He held a cigarette between his fingers absentmindedly; white smoke curled and rose around him, blurring his face.

Tyler did not turn around. "Why are you home so late?"

"Why are you home so early?" Vicky retorted.

Tyler turned to shoot her a half-smile. "Had I not come home early, I wouldn't have found out that you're dating another man."

"I'm dating a man?" Amused, Vicky mocked, "Tyler, how can you function with such double standards? Have you taken a day off from caring for Gloria and decided to meddle with my business? Tyler Hart, you are exhausting."

Instead of letting her go, he tightened his grip. "Who was he?"

Her patience for Tyler had reached its limit since her birthday, and she was seething with anger that Tyler dared to confront her about a man she was seen with when he had been spending time with Gloria.

She met his eyes and spat coldly, "He is my lover. Satisfied?!"

Tyler did not expect her to admit such a thing and froze for a moment before narrowing his eyes fiercely.

"What did you say?"

Vicky sneered fearlessly. "I said, he is my lover—ugh!"

Before she could finish, Tyler pinned her against the wall and pressed his body up against hers.
