Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 869

Vicky stopped and glanced around before spotting the elegant ladies sitting under the pavilion in the distance.

Vicky stepped over and the ladies immediately stopped chatting to stare at her in contempt.

One of the women said, "Are you Vicky Shaw?"

Vicky looked at her. "Yes. And you are?"

The woman lifted her chin with a prideful look on her beautiful face. "I'm Tyler's mother."

Vicky jolted in shock.

Tyler rarely mentioned his parents, and all Vicky knew was that his relationship with them was astringed. She also knew that the status of the Harts had been falling in recent years.

Sensing her confusion, Valencia said, "I'm Tyler's biological mother. The couple you're probably thinking of is merely his adoptive parents."

Vicky was shocked for a few moments but soon accepted it.

'It's no wonder that Tyler isn't close with his parents. So they aren't related after all,' Vicky thought, feeling happy for Tyler as she thought that this was Tyler's chance of being loved by his true family.

"Aunty Hart, does Tyler know about this...?"

Vicky's words were interrupted by Valencia's scolding voice. "Ms. Shaw, please address me as Missus Hart!"

The smile on Vicky's face froze, as it was evident that Tyler's mother did not seem to like her very much.

Suppressing her disappointment and sadness, Vicky forced a smile. "I apologize, Missus Hart."

Valencia remained prideful, but she did not seem to reject Vicky entirely, which came as a pleasant surprise for Vicky.

Naively, she believed that as long as she worked hard to change and met Valencia's standards, Valencia would gradually come to accept her.

Vicky was reluctant to give up on Tyler and was determined to work as hard as possible.

With that thought in mind, Vicky nodded earnestly. "I understand, Missus Hart. I'll make an effort to learn."

At that time, Tyler was still dealing with his company's crisis. After consideration, Vicky decided to wait until she gained Valencia's approval before telling him about what happened.

However, what she did not expect was that Valencia's words were not meant to approve of her but rather to make her realize the gap between her and Tyler, forcing her to give up willingly.
