Ch. 371..380

Loving You In Secret Chapter 371-"Tyler..." Vicky murmured, 'when did you come back?"

Tyler’s voice was clear and melodious like the river as he replied, "This morning."

"I thought you'd be away for more than ten days," Vicky wondered.

"You haven't been sleeping well with nightmares these few days." Tyler looked at her and added, "So I finished my work ahead of schedule and decided to come back."

If this happened on a usual day, she would be thrilled to hear that. At this moment, however, she was not ready to face him...yet here he was, home already.

His eyes darkened when he noticed the lack of excitement in her eyes.

"What's wrong? You’re not happy to see me?" he asked.

"No," Vicky answered without thinking twice, "I'm just a little surprised..."

She tried to calm herself. "Why didn't you tell me ahead? I said.J'd go pick you up from the airport."

Tyler stood up and walked to her. "I want to give you a surprise, but...you weren't at home."

Her heart throbbed. "What... What time did you arrive?"

"Six." He stood right in front of her, gazing down at her. No one could tell what he was feeling. "Did something happen? Why did you go out so early in the morning?"

Vicky did not dare to look into his eyes. "I...I didn't come home last night."

"Huh?" Tyler was puzzled.

She knew she could not keep it a secret from him. All he needed to do was ask Nanny Paterson and look at the surveillance footage to know the truth.

"Jennifer was discharged from the hospital yesterday, and I..."

That explained every question Tyler wanted to ask. "So you went to accompany Jennifer."

He got closer and embraced her "I shouldn't have gone to work before you recovered." His voice sounded deep. "I'm sorry you had to be alone these few days."

She inhaled, and the familiar scent entered her nostrils. She was touched by those words as her eyes became slightly watery. "I'm fine..."

Tyler continued to look at her. There was a rare softness in his blue eyes." I'll try to stay in the city with you during this period."

Vicky stiffened when she heard this. Tyler probably did not notice she was acting weird.

He furrowed his brow and took off her mask. "Vicky, are you sick?"

Vicky's hands and legs were as cold as ice. She felt terribly nervous every time she had to face the man with the mask, so much so that she would gnaw on her bottom lip until it stung.

At this moment, she did not know how to explain herself, and it did not help that Tyler stared pointedly at her lip questioningly. 1

Finally, she succumbed to that look and decided to tell the truth. As she burned her own boat, she said, "Tyler, the truth is..."

As she was about to spill everything, Tyler cut her off. "What did you eat with Cece and Jennifer?"

The question caught Vicky by surprise. "W-What?"

Tyler squeezed his brows slightly. "Are you having an allergic reaction? Should I get the doctor to come and take a look?"

Vicky’s shock remained. "A-Allergy?"

Tyler raised his brows at how oddly Vicky sounded. "Is it not an allergic reaction?"

Vicky was lost for words. The courage she built up disappeared.

Loving You In Secret Chapter 372-"What's wrong?" Tyler looked worried. "Are you not feeling well?"

Vicky was not feeling ill. She was just... Her heart and mind were a mess, and she no longer had the courage to tell the truth.

"I'm...fine," she muttered.

"Head upstairs. I'll go get some cream to treat those swollen lips," Tyler said.

"Alright..." she replied.

Not long later, Tyler entered the room with a cream, and he spotted Vicky sitting on the sofa, daydreaming.

He approached her and said, "Let me apply it for you."

With the medical-grade cotton bud, he started to sterilize the wound on her lip and applied the cream. The moment he was serious, his face looked extremely stern, and the vibe he presented was rather intimidating.

A refreshing sensation graced Vicky's lips, and it soothed the pain and dryness of her lip injury.

Suddenly, her tears started to spill without any warning. Tyler was still concentrating on applying the cream to her lips by then.

Stunned when the cold tears dropped on the back of his hand, he looked at her.

Her tears slowly fell. Obviously, the tears were not hot or cold, but they burned his heart like they were as hot as the heated oil.

He stopped what he was doing.

Before he could ask anything, Vicky threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.

"Why are you so good to me?" she asked when, in fact, she was asking herself that. "Why?"

If he was acting like before and only kept this marriage because he had to, was she able to tell the truth so freely?

It was at this point Vicky understood why the man in the mask could threaten her. She was not afraid her reputation would fall to the creek when everyone found out about it. She was also not afraid Tyler would divorce her.

She was afraid to see Tyler looking at her disgustedly. She was afraid she would lose this warm moment that was hard to come by.

Naturally, people always moved forward. They were not scared of anything because they had nothing they cared about. Once a person had something they cared about, they would start to be afraid of this and that and consider more factors.

After the experience she had in Forever Night, she was not afraid of divorce. When she returned from that place, her mind and body were badly traumatized.

Tyler was at her last straw when she was drowning; the sliver of light in the dark; and the hand that reached out to her before she fell into an abyss.

Tyler held the thin, feeble woman. His low and clear voice was like the voice of the savior that saved the world from destruction.

"Because you, Vicky Shaw, are my wife," he answered.

Vicky trembled. She tightened her hand as she clung to him like he was a plank and that her life was depending on him.

Her heart felt helpless and lost. She could not lose him anymore...even if she had to lie to him.

As she wrapped her hands around his neck, she pressed her lips against his. Tyler did not expect that from her. After a few seconds of being caught off-guard, he quickly took over the control.

The cream spread across his lips, but neither of them was bothered by it.

The morning light shone in the room and created a warm gold glow. His handsome face looked godly in Vicky's eyes.

The bathroom door opened. Tyler simply put on a bathrobe and walked out. He glanced around and saw Vicky was thinking deeply.

His eyes darkened.

"What's in your mind?" he spoke, his voice low yet alluringly smoky.

Loving You In Secret Chapter 373-Vicky looked up and saw Tyler walking toward her after finishing his shower. His robe hung on his body, but his lean, toned chest and muscular body were out in the open. The eight-pack abs looked sturdy, so much to the point she could have a nosebleed.

Despite having seen it numerous times, her face always turned red and hot seeing that hot body. She quickly looked away. ’Nothing..."

Tyler walked to her and placed both hands on the bed beside her body, trapping her between the bed and his chest.

"Are you sure it's nothing?" he asked.

She still did not dare to look at him. "Yes."

Surely, she was not going to tell him that she was wondering about the difference between him and the man with the mask. There were some differences, but she got a feeling...that there was a similarity of sorts.

'Are men all built the same? Like, you can’t tell the difference between two men once the light is off?' she thought.

Tyler did not think too much and said, "I’m going to work for a while in the study. Why don't you get some sleep?’

"Okay," Vicky replied.

He lowered his head and pecked her forehead. ’Call me if you need anything."

She had a peculiar kind of familiar feeling about his kiss. She glared at his thin lips as her mind raced.

Tyler was a sensitive and alert person, and he instantly felt something was off. As he squinted his blue eyes, he said, "Vicky, you're acting strange today."

"I... Maybe I didn't get any good sleep these few days," she replied.

Tyler stared at her for a few seconds before he softly said, "I'll spend time with you tonight."

Vicky's heart sank when Tyler mentioned the word 'tonight'. She was afraid Tyler would discover something and thus pretended to look tired and lay on the bed.

"You can do your work. I'm going to sleep for a while," she said.

"Okay," Tyler replied.

He put her to bed and left the room. When the door closed, Vicky opened her eyes again.

'He's becoming gentler...but that only makes me more upset and uncomfortable,' she thought.

Vicky had a good sleep that she missed for quite some time. She only woke up during the evening. As she reached out to her phone to look at the time, she saw an unread message.

It gave her a shock and instantly, her mind was wide awake. Her fingers were shaking. After opening the text message, she realized it was from Jennifer. Her heartbeat returned to normal.

[Vicky, I've completed a drawing and sent it to your inbox.]

Vicky replied, [Noted.]

Jennifer's message reminded Vicky that she still needed to deal with the man with the mask. After thinking for a few seconds, she texted him.

[Tyler is back. I can't go over tonight.]

If the man with the mask sent someone to watch over her, he would know Tyler was back.

The man seemed to be busy, since she got no replies from him for several minutes.

While Vicky was beginning to worry, the door opened and Tyler entered the room. His eyes darkened when he saw Vicky leaning back daydreaming with the phone in her hand.

"You're awake?" Tyler asked.

The phone slipped from Vicky's hand as her eyes flashed with panic. "You... You finished working?"

"Yeah. I was going to get you to go down to eat," Tyler answered.

"Go ahead. I'll be right down after I change," Vicky said.

Tyler gazed at her before leaving the room.

Vicky went downstairs immediately after she changed her clothes. To her surprise, Tyler was not in the dining room.

While this puzzled her, she felt her phone vibrating.

She took out her phone, and her pupils shrank.

It was a reply from the number that was not saved in her contact list.

[Tyler is back?]

Loving You In Secret Chapter 374-[Yes, he came back this morning.] That was Vicky's reply.

The man with the mask texted back instantly, [If that's the case, I'm going to let you have a day off since you behaved nicely last night. Come and spend time with me again tomorrow.]

Vicky frowned. [I have no chance to go out if he's at home at night.]

The man with the mask replied, [That's not my problem.]

Vicky tried to reason. [He's going to suspect if I go out every night.]

The chat stopped there because she did not get a reply from the man. She tried to send a few more messages, yet she received no response.

It felt awful not knowing what was going to happen and where she would end up the following day.

Just then, steady footsteps sound were heard from the stairs. Vicky quickly deleted the messages in her phone and put on a new expression.

The tall, strong man walked down the stairs gracefully.

She looked at his handsome face and asked softly, "Where did you go?"

Tyler stopped walking and replied, "I just remembered I had to do a few things in the study."

Vicky did not think too much and said, ' Dinner is ready. Let's eat."

"Okay."

It was the next day. Vicky received a call from Tyler in the evening.

"You're going to a party with me tonight at eight," Tyler said.

Due to his status in the industry and his occupation, he needed to attend a number of dinners and parties. However, he was powerful enough to only attend important ones.

After Vicky got back from Forever Night, she had gone to a few parties with him. As his wife, it was a duty that she could not deny. She would never think of rejecting it before, but...

"What's wrong?" asked Tyler when Vicky did not answer. "Are you occupied tonight?"

"No..." Vicky replied.

'TH ask Harry to send the gown over later. I'll pick you up at seven tonight."

"Okay," Vicky responded.

She sent the masked man a text after she hung up the phone.

[I need to attend a party with Tyler tonight. I can't go over tonight.]

A few seconds after she sent the text message, she received a reply. [You have to come.]

It was an order, and Vicky did not like it.

[I really can't go.]

The man replied, [Then think of a way.]

Vicky tried hard to convince him. [... I really don’t know how.]

The man thus said, [I'll come up with a way, then.]

Vicky was shocked. [What are you going to do?]

There was no reply. She tried to send a few more messages, yet there was no reply from the other side. She started to feel anxious. Just as she was about to give the number a call, she finally received a reply.

[Don't worry. I won't send those videos to Tyler.]

After that, the man did not reply no matter how many messages Vicky sent to him.

At 8 p.m., Vicky and Tyler attended the party punctually. She entered the venue with him as she had her arm linked to his.

On the way to the party, Tyler told her it was a business party, and every notable family member in the city would attend.

Just as soon as they were there, many people came over to talk to Tyler.

Vicky was worried about the masked man and was absent-minded. Maybe she was too absent-minded that she accidentally knocked over a waiter.

The alcohol and beverages splashed onto her white gown.

"I'm sorry, Missus Hart!" the waiter apologized nervously.

It was partly her fault for being absent-minded, after all.

She said softly, "It's alright. I'll just change to a new gown."

Just then, Tyler, who had been chatting with other businessmen, noticed what was happening.

Loving You In Secret Chapter 375-Tyler walked over to Vicky. "What happened?"

"Nothing,” Vicky explained, "I accidentally knocked over a waiter and my gown is soaked with the drinks. I'll be fine after I change."

Tyler looked at her. "Do you need me to go with you?"

She looked at the people from the other companies gazing at him and smiled. "It's alright; I'm fine on my own. I can get some rest, too."

Tyler knew she was not a fan of the party, so he nodded. "Okay."

It had been over half an hour since she changed into a new gown, yet she did not return to the party and decided to rest for a while. A waiter passed a key card of the room to her. "Missus Hart, this is your room."

Vicky politely thanked him. "Thank you."

"You're welcome, Missus Hart.’

Vicky took the card and entered the designated room.

The room was pitch black. Just as she was about to turn on the light, a hand suddenly appeared and pulled her into the room. Startled, she subconsciously struggled to shout for help, but the hand covered her mouth.

A familiar voice from the voice changer sounded beside her ear. "It's me."

Vicky paused. "Why...are you here?"

The man did not have his mask on. His lips touched her cheek with an ambiguous feeling. "Since you can't think of a way, I decided to come up with a solution myself."

Her eyes widened. "You came here... Are you crazy?"

The man thought otherwise. "Don't you think this is exciting?"

Vicky struggled with all of her might. "You madman! Let go of me!"

The man chuckled. "Shh, keep your voice down. Tyler is downstairs... Or are you trying to attract him here?"

"What are you trying to do?!" Vicky demanded.

"Nothing," the man said indifferently, ’I just can't sleep without your bedtime story. If you can put me to sleep, I won't disturb you. What about that?"

Vicky's gaze wavered. "Are you...serious?"

"I suffer from insomnia, you see. When I'm with you, the insomnia is gone. Isn't it weird?" the man explained.

She looked at him curiously and could not tell if he was telling the truth. However, she knew better than to agitate him because it would not do her any good.

She took a deep breath and said, "Fine."

She decided to leave this place as soon as she put this man to sleep.

When the light was switched on, Vicky was still slightly unconscious.

All of a sudden, the sound of footsteps approaching her became louder. Seconds later, a man spoke in his low, clear voice at the bedside.

"Vicky?"

She opened her eyes dazedly. In her blurry sight, she saw a handsome face. His brows and eyes were magnificent as if they were drawn. His pupils were as blue as the ocean, and they were watching her.

Her pupils shook. "Tyler... Why are you here?"

"I called you a few times, but you didn't answer." Looking at how drowsy she was, he asked, "Did you fall asleep?"

That question startled her, and she quickly took a look around the room, noticing that the masked man was gone.

"What time is it?" she asked.

Tyler helped to tend her messy hair. "It's already 10 p.m."

Vicky was shocked. For some reason, she always ended up falling asleep after meeting the man. There was a familiar scent on her body.

He was probably afraid she would discover something, so he must have burned relaxative, drowsiness-inducing incense.

After she was asleep, she basically did not remember anything. The incense disgusted her, and she refused to continue smelling the scent from her clothes.

She said, "My clothes are wrinkled. Can you get me a new one?"

Loving You In Secret Chapter 376-Tyler did not suspect anything. Instead, he serenely replied, "Sure."

A few minutes later, he came back with a new set of clothes. Before Vicky requested it, he was caring enough to suggest, "Why don't you change first? I'll wait for you in the living room."

The clothes Tyler brought over were a set of conservative types of long pants and a long-sleeve top. She did not care if they were hideous and just put them on.

After that, she left the room and saw Tyler sitting on the sofa. His eyes were closed as if he was resting, and he did not realize she was there. She remained where she was as she gazed at him for a while before walking toward him quietly.

Unexpectedly, she stretched her hands out, wanting to unbutton his shirt. Suddenly, he grabbed her hands as he opened his eyes. They were deep and dark like a bottomless lake.

He looked at her. "It's getting late. Why don't we do it when we are back at home?"

Vicky felt like her hands were burnt and quickly pulled them back. "L.don't mean that."

She had no idea why she had a crazy thought in her mind. For some reason, she thought that man.Jooked like Tyler. Moreover, Tyler’s physique was similar to that man, too.

The light in the room was also very dim when she met the masked man, and she could not exactly tell his body then. However, she accidentally scratched the man's chest when she struggled.

That was why she wanted to confirm if Tyler was the masked man.

After the crazy thought disappeared, she realized it was a bizarre thing for her to have that kind of speculation.

'How could that man be Tyler? He has no reason to do it at all,' she thought.

When both of them returned to the party, there were just a few guests left. Harry had been waiting in the car for a long time.

After Vicky and Tyler got into the car, Harry started the car engine and drove away.

Vicky looked at the night view outside of the window. Suddenly, spotting something, she squeezed her brows lightly.

Sebastian walked out of the party venue. A weird feeling appeared in Vicky’s heart.

'Sebastian is here, too? Could the man...be him?' she thought.

"What are you looking at?" Tyler's voice came from the side.

Vicky stopped looking and hid her emotions by lowering her face. ‘Nothing. I'm just staring."

Tyler looked out the window, and his blue pupils shook. Since both of them had their own concerns, neither of them spoke on the way back.

When they arrived home, Tyler received a call. After he finished the call, he said, "I need to settle my work in the study. I'm probably going to be late. Don't wait for me. You can sleep."

Vicky's dangling heart finally got rested. "Alright."

Due to numerous factors, Vicky hardly slept for the entire night. Tyler seemed to be busy too because he did not go back to the room to sleep for the whole night. It was not a weird moment because this was not the first time, especially when he was busy working.

Since Vicky failed to fall asleep, she woke up early in the morning to prepare breakfast for Tyler. While she was cooking, she looked at the steam from the pan and thought, Tm done spending my days in anxiety.'

Suddenly, strong, long arms wrapped around her waist from behind. Vicky got shocked as she was daydreaming while cooking. The spatula nearly slipped off her hand.

She looked up with a panicked expression and saw a familiar, handsome face.

It was none other than Tyler himself.

Loving You In Secret Chapter 377-Tyler saw Vicky's pale, scared face. "Did I scare you?" "A little...' As a matter of fact, she was not scared because Tyler scared her.

It was because... For a moment there, she thought the masked man was in the house.

Tyler saw her eyelashes fluttering. "Why are you up so early today?"

Vicky forced a smile on her face. "I want to cook breakfast for you."

They were standing very close to each other, so close that Tyler could see how red Vicky’s eyes were. "Didn't you sleep well last night?’

"I had difficulty falling asleep. Maybe it was because of the nap I took during the party," Vicky said.

He gazed at her. ’Vicky, I’m going to be busy lately."

"Be busy," she replied softly, lightly, "don't worry about me."

"Okay. If you're afraid, you can come and find me anytime. I can continue working after you're asleep," Tyler said.

Her restless heart was soothed by his gentle words. She felt less anxious, too.

"Alright," she responded.

After breakfast, Tyler went to work. On the other hand, Vicky went to the study to work. However, she had been too anxious lately. She drew three sketches, but neither of them was good enough.

The image of the masked man, Sebastian, and Tyler danced in her mind. The speculations and assumptions haunted her persistently.

After sitting in front of the computer for an hour doing nothing, she finally decided to call a number. The call got through quickly, and she heard Sebastian’s excited voice.

"Vicky?’

Vicky took a deep breath and asked, 'Are you free this afternoon? I want to meet with you.’

Sebastian answered without thinking, "Sure."

She paused for a while and said, "Well, let's meet in Cloud-Nine Hotel, Room 1331 in the afternoon."

"Cloud-Nine Hotel?" Sebastian was curious but he did not ask anything." Alright.’

Vicky had the keycard for Room 1331 so she could go in whenever she liked. Other than nighttime, she had never been in this room. The room actually was a nightmare to her, and naturally, she resisted coming to this room.

She reached Room 1331 half an hour early. First, she went in and examined the room. Same as before, she did not find anything. The locked room was still locked. Since she did not find any clues, she sat on the sofa in the living room and waited for Sebastian to arrive.

Not long after, the doorbell rang. Vicky got up and opened the door.

A handsome, gentle-looking man stood outside the door with a curious look. "Are you staying here?"

Vicky made way for him to go in. ’Welcome."

Sebastian entered the living room.

She poured a glass of water for him. "Have some water."

"Thank you." He accepted the glass of water and drank politely before looking at her.

"Vicky, why did you ask me to meet up with you?"

Loving You In Secret Chapter 378-Sebastian had been investigating Tyler lately, but he found nothing. He was sure that Tyler has something to do with Vicky's kidnapping in Lovian, but he just could not find any evidence to back it up.

Vicky remained silent while she studied Sebastian.

Sebastian had a gentle and elegant temperament. He was the typical type of rich kid with a good temper from a notable family, a far contrast from the masked man who threatened her last night.

"I have something that I'd like to ask you," Vicky said.

Sebastian treated it seriously when he realized how serious Vicky was." Vicky, I'll answer with everything I know."

Vicky asked, "Are you familiar...with this room?”

He looked around, confused by Vicky's question. He shook his head.

Cloud-Nine Hotel was a six-star hotel. Although he also had a presidential suite in the hotel, every presidential suite had a different interior design. His room was Room 1330. Room 1330 had a European design, but Room 1331 was designed with a Moroccan theme.

Vicky had been monitoring Sebastian's face. However, his expression had been so impeccable that Vicky could not see a trace of lying.

She continued to ask, "Do you not know that after I was kidnapped in Lovian, I was sold to Forever Night?"

"Forever Night?" Sebastian's expression changed. "You were sold to Forever Night?"

She stared deeply into his eyes. "Yes."

He tightened his fists. "Tyler that b*stard! How can he be that sick? That's not the place that you should be in!"

"So you really are not going to admit it?" Vicky asked.

"Vicky, I wasn't the one who kidnapped you," he explained solemnly. "I've been investigating Tyler lately-"

Vicky did not want to hear any of that, so she interrupted him, "Are you staying in this hotel, too?"

The topic changed too quickly. Sebastian paused before nodding lightly." Yes."

"Which room are you staying in?" she asked.

"Room 1330." That was his answer.

With her calm voice, Vicky said, "As far as I know, your family business started by dealing with properties. As a member of the family, you should have plenty of properties under your name. Why are you staying in the hotel instead of your own place?”

Sebastian hesitated for a few seconds. He noticed the stringent look on Vicky's face and decided to tell the truth. "We're negotiating a deal with a business partner lately. The business partner requested us to book two rooms in this hotel for the convenience of discussing the partnership at any time. Thus, I'm just doing what my business partner requested."

He was the Managing Director of Mills Group. Undoubtedly, it was normal to arrange a presidential suite for his business partner since they were in the midst of the cooperation.

Although the request was quite weird, he did not take much notice of it because he had witnessed other requests that were stranger.

He continued, "My business partner is staying in Room 1332."

Vicky asked, "Then what about this room?"

Sebastian did not understand. "When we booked the room, the front desk told us this room was occupied."

He looked at her and asked, "Vicky, were you the one...who booked this room?"

Since Sebastian was not going to admit he was the masked man, Vicky did not plan on forcing him. She just glared at him quietly.

Sebastian had no idea what was going on. The way Vicky glared at him made him very uncomfortable. "Vicky, what's wrong?"

Vicky got on her feet all of a sudden and approached him. First, she grabbed his hand. Followingly, she pinched her face and even got closer to him to smell the scent on his body. Finally, she unbuttoned his shirt to reveal his chest.

Sebastian was shocked by Vicky's action. "Vicky, you're..."

He tried to raise his hand, but he realized he could not gather any strength from his body. He was stunned and soon realized what happened as he looked at the glass of water on the coffee table.

"Vicky, what are you trying to do?"

Vicky did not answer the question. She was in the middle of unbuttoning his shirt.

When his chest was out in the open...she realized that there were no scratches on it.

Ding, dong!

All of a sudden, the doorbell rang.

Loving You In Secret Chapter 379-'The masked man isn't man Sebastian...' Vicky was lost in her thoughts.

Ding, dong! The doorbell kept on ringing.

When Vicky finally regained her senses, she walked to the door and opened it. The door was pushed open when it was slightly opened with a gap.

A tall man in a formal suit strode in. His expression was cold, and so was his temperament. He looked like he was about to kill someone.

Vicky's heart throbbed when she saw him. "Tyler..." She was stunned. ’Why are you here?"

Tyler glanced around and saw Sebastian sitting on the sofa. The murderous intent in his eyes became more noticeable when he realized a few buttons on Sebastian's shirt were unbuttoned.

Vicky held her breath and tried to explain, "Tyler, listen to me. It's not what you think..."

He did not listen and walked to Sebastian to grab Sebastian's collar.

There was not enough time for Vicky to stop him. His punch already connected to Sebastian's face.

Crack! It was as though Sebastian's nose broke, and he nearly passed out.

Vicky got the shock of her life. "Tyler!"

She rushed over to wrap her arms around Tyler’s waist and pleaded, "Tyler, calm down! It's not what you think. I can explain it to you..."

A sharp, cold light flashed through his eyes. His thin lips were pressed into a fine line with how angry he was. "You don't have to explain. He tricked you to come here."

While his words sounded as though caring for her, the cold tone and apathetic expression he had just displayed how infuriated he was.

Vicky could even sense a murderous intent in the depths of his pupils

Tyler easily pried Vicky's arms away. He rested his cold, dark pupils on Sebastian again before another punch landed on him.

"Argh!’ Sebastian grunted painfully.

Vicky looked at Tyler, who seemed to have walked out from hell with black smoke covering his body. It felt scary and terrifying.

'Is this the Tyler that has been so gentle and caring to me lately? Why do I feel like...l don't know him?' she fretted in horror.

Sebastian’s handsome face was too horrible to look at after getting punched twice by Tyler. Since he drank the spiked water Vicky gave him, he did not have the strength to fight back.

Vicky remained where she was for a while. She ignored the fear in her heart and tried to stop Tyler again. "Tyler, that's enough."

Tyler's burning gaze landed on her. There was no emotion or temperature in his eyes. He asked, "Are you sad for him?"

"No." Vicky felt a chill creeping up her back, and her body froze from the way Tyler looked at her.

Despite that, she had to stop him.

"Tyler, you're going to kill him if you don't stop..." she warned.

"So what?" Tyler asked in return. "It's a light punishment for him for trying to kidnap my wife repeatedly."

The kidnapping was a thorn that would never leave Vicky's heart, and the part she felt most sorry for Tyler. If she did not try to leave Tyler, she would never have met the masked man or been pestered by him endlessly.

As a matter of fact, she did not have a good impression of Sebastian either. However, she was partly responsible for what happened today and the last time too.

Especially today.

She needed to make sure she was safe, so she put something into the water Sebastian drank.

Loving You In Secret Chapter 380-"Tyler, Sebastian is the successor of Mills Group," Vicky could only try a different way to reason with Tyler. "We're not getting away if you kill him."

Tyler's pupils darkened. "By that, you mean you won't stop until you save him?"

"You misunderstood me. I just don't want to see someone get killed," reasoned Vicky.

"Then why did you two meet here today?" Tyler sneered. "To catch up?"

He glanced at Sebastian's chest and smiled weirdly. "Also, taking off clothes to talk?"

"No..." Vicky said.

"Then what?" he asked.

Vicky did not know how to explain herself, and she was at a loss for words. It was not like she could tell Tyler she wanted to find out if Sebastian was the masked man that had been threatening her.

Seeing her being silent, Tyler's eyes became even colder. He did not continue to punch Sebastian. Instead, he threw Sebastian to the floor like he was throwing rubbish. After giving Vicky a cold look, he strode out of the room.

Sebastian had passed out after being punched by Tyler. Vicky looked at him and called the ambulance with her phone.

When the ambulance arrived, she, too, left.

Before dinner, Vicky received a reminder message from the masked man.

Her mood had been awful, and it got even worse when she saw this message.

She tried to call Tyler a few times, but Tyler did not pick up. He did not even reply to her messages.

Obviously, he was still mad about what happened in the afternoon.

Vicky was afraid the masked man would do something crazy, so she replied. Instantly, she received a reply from the man.

[Be on time.]

Vicky did not reply, but neither did the man text anything else.

She waited until a little over 7 that night, but Tyler still had not returned. He also did not return her calls or messages.

Without a choice, she could only go meet the masked man first.

When she was sure the man was not Sebastian, a dark cloud appeared in her heart. All the leads were broken. Finding this man's identity was even harder than going to heaven.

She was afraid she would miss Tyler's calls or messages, so she had been staring at her phone when she was in the car. On her way to meet the man, however, she did not receive any calls from Tyler.

All of a sudden, live news popped out on her screen. She was going to ignore it, but then she saw Sheila's name. Subconsciously, she clicked on it.

Her eyes widened as soon as she saw it.

Sheila was sitting across the table with a man in a restaurant. The man looked blurry from the angle of the photo, but it was visible to see he was a tall and muscular guy.

Instantly, Vicky could tell who that man was. It was Tyler.

She read the content of the news.

[During this evening, someone had taken a photo of Sheila having dinner with a mysterious man. According to the sources, this mysterious man and Sheila have a very close relationship.]

'This evening... So he wasn't angry at me that he didn't pick up my call or reply to my messages? He was...having dinner with Sheila?' she thought.

"Miss, we've arrived at your destination," The taxi driver reminded Vicky.

They had been here for a while, yet Vicky did not move at all. Thus, the taxi driver had to call out to her.
