Ch. 381..390

Loving You In Secret Chapter 381-Vicky turned around and saw the hotel outside the window.

After making the payment, she stepped out of the car.

Before going into the room, she glanced at her phone once again, but there was nothing on the screen.

She put her phone away and went into the room to find herself in the familiar darkness.

The man was on the couch, watching television. Instead of financial news, he was watching entertainment news, and the broadcaster's professional voice flowed out of the television.

"Sources suggest that the man who dined with Sheila Young was her rumored boyfriend..."

The room was quiet, which made the sound of the television even more distinct, and Vicky felt as though she was stung when she heard the news.

"You are five minutes late,’ the masked man said.

Vicky stood still for a few moments and walked over to the man, who gazed up at her darkly. "You should feel smug for toying with three men at the same time. Why do you look so gloomy?’

Vicky frowned. ’Three men?"

"Tyler Hart, Sebastian Mills, and me."

She looked away. ’ How do you know about Sebastian?"

“You met with another man in my room and think that I won’t find out?"

His words reminded her of Tyler and she thought to herself, ‘It’s normal for this man to find out because I met with Sebastian in his room, but... How

did Tyler find out about it within such a short time?’

Just then, she felt a sharp pain in her jaw as the man grabbed her by the chin with a cold look in his eyes. "Still thinking of him?’

Vicky was forced to meet the man’s eyes. "Who?’

"Sebastian Mills."

"No."

"Who, then?"

Vicky felt sick at being interrogated and said carelessly, "No one."

"Vicky, have you forgotten about the consequences of lying to me?" The man chuckled.

Feeling chills down her spine, Vicky snapped out of it. "I am not thinking of Sebastian."

"If not him, then... Harvey Sparks?" he teased, the look of his eyes cold enough to freeze as he stared into her eyes unblinkingly.

Tension rose and as the look in his eyes darkened, his grip tightened.

Vicky paled at the pain in her jaw and said, "Not Harvey. I’m thinking about... Tyler."

The man had a talent for spotting lies, and Vicky found it challenging to lie to him most of the time.

He narrowed his eyes and loosened his grip. "Oh? Tell me about it," he said with amusement. 1

Vicky shot him a look and noticed that the man seemed interested in anything related to her and Tyler, but she did not know how to begin.

What happened earlier that afternoon filled her heart with frustration.

"What’s going on between you and Sebastian?" the man questioned.

She scowled. "I thought you already knew?"

"I want to hear it from you."

Vicky never expected to explain herself to the masked man before she had the chance to do so with Tyler. "I only called him here to discuss something."

The man shot her a dark look. "And you decided to call him to a hotel and have your discussion with his clothes off?’

Loving You In Secret Chapter 382-An odd feeling emerged when Vicky looked into the masked man's eyes.

She could understand why Tyler would be angry at her, but she could not comprehend why the masked man acted as though he was confronting his cheating wife.

Instead of lying, she explained, "I thought that he was you and wanted to confirm it."

"By taking his clothes off?” the man questioned.

She frowned as realization dawned on her that while the man knew that she met with Sebastian, he seemed unaware of the precise situation, which meant that there were no surveillance cameras in the room.

"You have a scratch mark on your chest," Vicky drawled.

The man came to realize what she meant and shot her a look. "Are you disappointed to find out that I’m not Sebastian, then?"

"No."

She would be terrified if Sebastian turned out to be the masked man, because not only was Sebastian someone she knew, but it also terrified her to think that the gentle, understanding side of Sebastian was nothing but a persona he put on in front of others.

The news about Sheila was still playing on the television, and Vicky’s attention slowly drifted to the faint reflection of the man on the television screen.

The man noticed where she was looking, and the look in his eyes darkened. ' You said you were thinking of Tyler... Are you referring to the scandal between him and Sheila?”

Vicky’s expression darkened. "Yeah."

After confirming that Tyler was not the masked man, she started missing him once again, but felt foolish when she saw the news.

The reality had given her a strike of the truth.

The man pulled her into his arms. "How did you get out today?”

Vicky glanced at her phone and noticed that there was no missed call or unread messages. "He isn't...home today, so I just came here."

He played with her hair and asked casually, "Are you two fighting?"

II II

"Are you upset that Tyler Hart is with another woman?"

Vicky remained quiet.

The man seemed to be in a good mood and was not offended by her silence. "He's meeting another woman, while you're here with me. It's fair."

Vicky jolted and thought to herself, 'That's right. I have no right to blame Tyler or restrict him from doing anything.'

"Alright. Put me to sleep," the man said.

The next day, Vicky arrived home early and noticed that Tyler had not returned home through the night as well.

She had not received a single call or text message, and her heart sank at the thought that Tyler might have spent the night with Sheila.

Tyler had mentioned multiple times that he had not done anything out of line with Sheila and Vicky thought to herself, 'There's probably...nothing between them, right?'

In the past, she would be slightly upset but would never let it get to her, but she could not help but let her thoughts run wild under the influence of Forever Night and the masked man.

In the afternoon, she received a message from the masked man.

"I need to leave the city for a while. I'll contact you when I'm back." 1

His departure gave Vicky time to recover from the despair that overwhelmed her.

Tyler returned home in the evening and though Vicky tried to explain herself to him, she eventually gave up when she saw the expressionless and distant look on his face.

In the days that followed, the relationship between Vicky and Tyler became extremely awkward.

He would return home and speak to her everyday but would no longer hold her closer or touch her in bed at night.

Loving You In Secret Chapter 383-Vicky did not know if what happened with Sebastian jogged certain unpleasant memories for Tyler, but his attitude toward her took a sudden turn as he grew distant.

It was not the first time they drifted apart, but it was the first time Vicky felt so devastated about it.

Half a month later, in a certain restaurant.

A waiter brought the freshly made dishes to the table, and both Jennifer and Cece started drooling at the enticing fragrance of the feast before them.

Cece stared at the dishes the waiter was serving and said, 'These smell so good. I want to eat everything!"

Jennifer's stomach rumbled at the sight. ’Me, too!"

Vicky had received a job from a certain movie production cast, and they were satisfied with the designs of the final products. However, since the production team made a bulk purchase, someone needed to travel with the production team to make amendments to the costumes whenever required.

Though the filming took place in Zendonia, Vicky was reluctant to leave Stoneford City, so the mission landed upon Cece and Jennifer.

The filming lasted for two weeks on the outskirts of the city, and since public transportation was not available, Jennifer and Cece had not been able to eat whatever they wanted.

Once they returned to Stoneford City, Vicky treated the two to a grand meal.

As the dishes were served, the two instantly started to gobble up whatever was in front of them.

Vicky smiled at how energetic they seemed and picked up her spoon to reach for one of her favorite dishes.

The familiar fragrance of the dish filled her nose, and her expression darkened.

A wave of nausea attacked her all of a sudden, and she stood abruptly to run toward the bathroom while covering her mouth.

Cece and Jennifer were both enjoying their meal and stilled when they saw Vicky running away.

10 minutes later, Vicky returned looking as pale as a ghost.

"Vicky, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?'

"I'm fine. I just don't really have an appetite."

Cece studied her worriedly. "Is your stomach acting up again?"

Vicky had always had a weak stomach because she often forgot to eat whenever she was occupied with work. She had been depressed lately and had not been paying much attention to her health.

"I guess I haven't been eating regularly." Not wanting Cece and Jennifer to worry, she smiled and said, "Let's just carry on with the meal. I'll make sure that I take better care of myself once I get back."

She reached for a piece of vegetable and put it into her mouth despite feeling like she was about to vomit again.

Cece and Jennifer were convinced and relaxed visibly.

Since Vicky did not have much of an appetite, she went on with only a few more bites before stopping.

Just then, her phone on the table vibrated when she received a message from an unknown number.

[Come over to stay with me tonight.]

Vicky froze at the sight of the text.

The masked man had disappeared for over half a month. She had no clue as to what he had been doing, nor was she interested in finding out because she was relieved by his absence. However, the masked man insisted that she text him every single day to inform him about what she was doing.

'He's even more strict than Tyler,' she thought to herself.

Her heart sank at the thought of Tyler.

In recent times, Tyler and Vicky had been drifting apart, and the two acted as though they were merely two tenants who shared the same mansion.

At eight that night, Vicky arrived at Room 1331 in time.

The masked man did everything he could to ensure that Vicky had no choice but to put him to bed, and Vicky was dumbfounded by his request.

Loving You In Secret Chapter 384-If all the masked man wanted from her was for her to cure his insomnia, Vicky felt like she might be able to negotiate with him.

She opened the door and stepped into the dark room, wondering if the masked man had returned to the room just yet.

Just then, her stomach turned and she darted into the bathroom, hurling everything she ate into the toilet bowl.

She had not eaten much that night, so the vomiting did not last long. She washed her mouth and her face at the sink, her face as pale as a ghost under the faint light.

"What happened?" She heard footsteps approaching and saw the masked man by the door, wearing a black bathing robe with his mask and voice changer already in place.

She frowned. "I guess my stomach is acting up.’

He stared at her intently. "Is it possible that you're...pregnant?"

She froze. "I...don’t know."

The man darted toward her and exclaimed joyfully, "Are you really pregnant?"

Vicky shot the man a confused look. "Nothing ever happened between us. Even if I am, it has nothing to do with you, so...why are you so happy about it?"

The man froze, and Vicky became increasingly suspicious.

"You-"

As though he was trying to keep her from exposing his secret, he interrupted her and said, "Just put me to sleep already."

Vicky sobered and decided to fulfill the man's request.

As she proceeded to tell bedtime stories, she kept reminding herself not to fall asleep but did so regardless after a while.

The next day, Vicky went straight to the studio instead of heading home.

As soon as she arrived, her lips curled into a bitter smile when she noticed that there was no missed call or text on her phone.

The last message she sent was the day before when she told Tyler that she might not be going home because Cece and Jennifer were back. All she received as a response was a simple 'oka/ and nothing else.

"Vicky."

Cece and Jennifer walked inside, and Jennifer was carrying a bag with her.

"Vicky, you haven't eaten, right? We brought you some ravioli. Eat up while it's still hot," Jennifer said. "You need to eat when you're about to start your day."

Feeling moved, Vicky said, ’Sure." However, as soon as she took a bite of the ravioli, she started gagging again.

Both Jennifer and Cece were startled. "Vicky, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. It's probably because I didn't rest well last night.'

"Vicky, why don't we take you to the hospital?" Cece offered worriedly.

Vicky had been trapped in her mind and seemed to have lost her appetite, but she did not think much of it. "It's fine. Maybe I've just been too busy lately. Now that the job with the cast members is done, I can rest for some time."

Cece was going to suggest going to the hospital again when Jennifer got ahead of her and asked, "Vicky, is it possible that you're pregnant?"

Both Vicky and Cece froze in shock, while Jennifer kept her eyes trained on Vicky. "Vicky, have you had your period this month?"

Jennifer's words made Vicky realize that her menstrual period had indeed been a week late.

'I can't be pregnant, can I?' she thought to herself.

Loving You In Secret Chapter 385-Vicky’s blood ran cold.

She had only been intimate with Tyler once in recent times, and she recalled that he used protection.

More precisely, Tyler used protection every time they were in bed.

Though they never talked about having children, she understood that he did not want any from his behavior. Since she had no plan of having children in the present, she did not question him about it.

Vicky jolted at the memory of the masked man.

The man would always burn some sort of incense that put her to sleep right away.

Vicky could tell that nothing happened between them, but there was a possibility that the masked man defiled her in her sleep.

Jennifer noticed the dark look on Vicky’s face and asked, "Vicky, what's wrong?”

Confused, Cece asked, "Vicky, you used to love children. Isn't this good news?"

Vicky faked a smile. "Maybe I'm not pregnant. Maybe...I'm just having an upset stomach." She paused thoughtfully before whispering, ‘ Don’t tell anyone about this. I'll get checked in the hospital. Let's not talk about this until it's confirmed."

The two women nodded in unison.

After hesitating for some time, Vicky eventually went to the hospital for a pregnancy test.

There was a long line in the hospital, and by the time it was Vicky's turn, over an hour passed.

Half an hour later, the doctor handed her medical report to her." Congratulations, Miss Shaw. You are pregnant!"

Vicky froze. "What did you say?”

The doctor treated countless patients every day, and he could immediately tell that Vicky did not want the child.

Since there were more patients waiting to be seen, the doctor simply said," If you don't want the baby, you can proceed to the gynecology department to schedule an abortion. Next patient, please.”

Vicky wandered out of the hospital, all the while thinking to herself, 'I'm... pregnant? How can this be possible?*

She wandered on the street for a long while.

The sky began to darken and her phone would not stop vibrating, but she simply ignored it.

At nine that night, Vicky finally returned home, still struggling to regain her composure.

She dragged her feet toward the bedroom when she heard a voice asking," Where have you been?”

She jolted in shock and slowly lifted her gaze.

Tyler sat on the couch lazily with his long, elegant legs crossed. His collar was unbuttoned, revealing his collarbone and the smooth skin underneath his shirt.

Vicky's eyes darted away as she clenched hard onto the purse in her hands. "Tyler... When did you...come home?"

"A long time ago," he said emotionlessly. ’Where have you been? Why didn't you answer your phone?"

Loving You In Secret Chapter 386-"I'm a little busy today and didn't notice your calls..."

Tyler narrowed his eyes as he observed her sharply. He gazed down at her purse and looked away shortly after. "Have you eaten?”

"Not yet."

'TH ask Nanny Paterson to make you something." He stood up and walked toward her. "You should take a shower."

Vicky relaxed slightly when she noticed that Tyler was not going to confront her. Fearing that he might notice the odd look on her face, she nodded. "Okay."

As she walked past him, he reached out to grab her by the wrist abruptly, and before she could react, he snatched the purse out of her hands.

She was stunned for a moment, but she immediately snapped out of it and went to take her purse back because her pregnancy test was still in her purse.

However, Tyler would not allow her to take it back and simply dodged her hands before opening the purse.

The look in his eyes darkened when he saw the paper inside, and he took out the medical report.

Instantly, all colors were drained from Vicky's cheeks.

Once he took the report out, he frowned and started reading it attentively.

Tyler was a quick reader as he swiftly got to the second page.

He was first slightly surprised before narrowing his eyes without any disbelief or awe on his face.

Sometime later, he set the medical report down and turned to look at Vicky.

She kept her head bowed and started panicking as though any movement would drive her over to the edge.

Suddenly, she was pulled into his arms.

He wrapped his arms around her tightly and tried his best to contain his emotions, only to be betrayed by the shivering of his hands.

"You are pregnant, Vicky."

When he was not as furious as she had pictured, she looked up in surprise to find him staring into her eyes intently.

'He's not mad,' she thought. 'He's...happy?'

Stunned, Vicky muttered, "Tyler..."

"We have our own child now,” he said hoarsely as he swallowed hard and stared eagerly at her.

"...’ Vicky opened her mouth to speak, only for her lips to be captured by him.

He was extremely gentle and careful as though he was afraid that she would shatter if he was too rough.

At that moment, she could sense just how happy the man was, and she tried to say something. "Tyler, this child..."

Tyler did not give her the chance to speak and simply swallowed all her words to express his joy at learning that he would be a father.

A long while later, he let go of her before she suffocated and studied her with his dark, seductive eyes. He placed a palm on her lower abdomen and said, "Let’s name it Robin, no matter the gender. Okay?"

Loving You In Secret Chapter 387-"Tyler, we can't keep this child..." Tears welled in Vicky's eyes as she muttered through quivering lips, "We can't keep it."

The look in his eyes darkened. "Dont tell me you're thinking of getting rid of it, Vicky."

"Have you forgotten that you wore protection that day? We've only been intimate that one time in the past month. How can I be pregnant with your child?"

An unknown emotion surfaced in his eyes, but it vanished almost immediately before anyone could notice it. "So, that's why..." He wiped away her tears with his long, cold fingers. "Vicky, even protections can fail from time to time."

Vicky’s eyes widened with disbelief. "Really?"

"It's true.’ Tyler kissed away her tears and held her closer. "I'll get Nanny Paterson to make something to eat. Rest. I'll take you to the hospital for another checkup tomorrow."

She grabbed onto the corner of his shirt and said, "Tyler, there's something I need to tell you."

He lifted her off the group and whispered, "After you eat."

"Tyler..."

He sat her down on the bed, his usually cold voice sounding exceptionally gentle. "Vicky, don't overthink things. Just focus on maintaining your health, n

He strode out of the room, leaving Vicky sitting on the bed blankly.

The most ridiculous feeling she could feel at the moment filled her heart, and it overpowered the panic she felt before.

Vicky was on the verge of a mental breakdown and calmed down slightly in response to Tyler's words.

Shortly after, Tyler returned to the room with a tray of food, and Vicky put her phone aside to look at him. "Tyler, there's something I need to tell you... n

Tyler interrupted her. "Finish your food first."

"But..."

"Do you need to be fed?"

What she meant to say to him was simply far too important for her to focus on eating. "Tyler, actually..."

Before she could finish her sentence, he took a sip of milk and before she could comprehend why he did so, he placed a hand at the back of her head and fed the milk into her mouth through his lips.

Vicky was stunned.

Milk scrolled down the corner of their mouths and dripped onto his shirt, leaving the air with a sweet, milky scent.

The look in Tyler's eyes darkened when he saw the trail of milk on her chin. He lowered his head and licked the milk away before muttering hoarsely," Are you eating on your own, or do you need to be fed?"

Vicky looked up to meet his lust-lit eyes. Feeling less nervous, she caved and said, "I will eat."

Tyler did not mistrust her as much as she thought he did, and she saw hope that he might believe her if she told him the truth.

She forced herself to swallow the food and turned to look at Tyler. "Tyler..."

He grabbed the tray and said, "I'll bring the tray down. Go take a shower.

We will talk later."

Loving You In Secret Chapter 388-Vicky had been out the entire day and was covered in dirt, so she figured she could talk to Tyler after a shower and nodded. "Okay."

When she stepped out of the shower, Tyler had not returned to the room, so she sat on the couch to wait for him.

Perhaps she was far too exhausted from wandering outside or simply felt tired because she could finally relax, but she leaned on the couch and slowly drifted off to sleep.

A few minutes later, Tyler returned and lifted Vicky from the couch before placing her on the bed carefully.

After turning the lights off, he held her closer and fell asleep as well.

The next morning, Vicky opened her eyes and glanced around dazedly, before sighing a breath of relief when she noticed that she was at home.

She felt as though she had been stuck in a nightmare.

Vicky rubbed her eyes drowsily and sat up when the bedroom door opened. Tyler strode in, wearing his suit.

"Are you awake?' he said in a melodious voice. "Breakfast is ready. Wash up, and well head to the hospital later."

"The hospital?"

He looked at her endearingly. "Vicky, we need a more comprehensive report about the baby."

'The baby...' Her eyes widened. It wasn't a dream. It's all real...'

Realizing that she fell asleep while waiting for Tyler the night before, she said, "Tyler, you need to listen to me..."

Tyler did not seem interested in what she wanted to say. ’Wash up. I'll wait for you in the dining room."

Before Vicky could respond, Tyler left the room.

During breakfast, Vicky tried to talk to Tyler multiple times, but he would always stop her by saying, "Eat first."

By the time they finished their breakfast, Harry's car was already waiting outside the mansion.

Since there was no way Vicky could discuss her child with Tyler in front of Harry, she remained quiet on the way to the hospital.

The hospital had been informed ahead about Tyler's visit, and all the doctors waited for their arrival.

After a series of tests, the results were finally released.

One of the doctors sat in front of Tyler, who looked extremely intimidating, and reported the result gingerly, "Mister Hart, Missus Hart...isn't pregnant."

Both Vicky and Tyler were stunned.

The look in Tyler's eyes sharpened to the point that one could barely look into his eyes.

"Say that again."

"Missus Hart... Missus Hart isn't pregnant."

Loving You In Secret Chapter 389-Tension instantly rose in the air as Tyler turned to study Vicky sharply.

Just as she tried to understand why Tyler was staring at her, he questioned, "What have you done?"

Her heart sank when she met his cold eyes.

When she failed to respond, he walked over to her and grabbed her by the wrist. ’Vicky Shaw, I'm asking you what you've done."

He had not raised his voice, but his presence instantly became extremely intimidating.

She stared blankly at the man before her and muttered, "I didn't do anything..."

Tyler was so gentle with her earlier and seemed to have completely transformed into a different person at the moment. Vicky found it hard to accept or adapt to the change.

"Vicky Shaw, I better not find out that you got rid of the child behind my back." He glared sharply at her with a hint of contempt in his eyes. "Or I will make sure you pay for it."

He let go of Vicky and walked out of the room.

Bam!

The door slammed shut behind him, and the doctor left the room after casting Vicky a careful glance.

Soon, she was the only one left in the room. The suffocating scent of sanitizer disgusted her, and she collapsed onto the couch helplessly.

Shortly after Tyler left, another group of doctors came to take Vicky to the examination room for other tests.

Two hours later, Vicky was brought back to Tyler, and Harry reported the results to Tyler.

"Mister Hart, I've gone to the hospital that Missus Hart went to for the body check. Because it was overwhelmed by patients that day, the nurse accidentally swiped her report with another woman, so...it was a mistake made by the hospital."

Just then, the doctor who brought Vicky over said, ‘ Missus Hart isn't pregnant and shows no sign of undergoing an abortion procedure. Her menstrual period is delayed because she has been under a lot of stress. Nausea and the urge to vomit are caused by irregular eating habits, which lead to an upset stomach..."

Tyler sat quietly with a poker face.

Once Harry and the doctor reported what they had found, silence fell over the room.

Sometime later, Tyler stood and, without looking at Vicky or saying a word to her, left the room expressionlessly. Harry hurried after him.

Vicky stood frozen in place, feeling her heart shattering at the sight.

She was just over the moon for being treated with such care by Tyler earlier, but within a matter of hours, she was dragged back to hell.

Her phone rang as soon as she arrived home, and she answered it without bothering to look at the caller's identification.

"Why didn't you come over last night?" It was from the masked man.

It was not until this very moment that Vicky remembered she had only sent him a message the night before, and the masked man had not replied to her since then.

"Do you want something?" Vicky asked dazedly.

"Vicky, I asked why didn't you come over last night."

"No reason," she said calmly.

"Vicky-"

Before the man could continue, she hung up.

One would only have fear when they cared, but since all her hope had been shattered, she had nothing left to be afraid of. Hence, she ended the phone call without fearing what the masked man might say.

Loving You In Secret Chapter 390-A few moments later, Vicky's phone started vibrating once again.

She stared at the caller identification on the screen and expressionlessly blacklisted the number.

That night, Tyler did not return home for dinner, nor had he called or texted her.

Vicky had not attempted to call him either.

She thought that she would get into a conflict with Tyler when he found out about the masked man. To her surprise, their marriage had been ruined by a child that never existed in the first place.

Because of it, their relationship seemed to have returned to the original state where Tyler ignored her whenever he wanted, and she found it laughable that she had no clue as to why he treated her that way.

Just when Vicky thought that Tyler would be spending the night outside, the bedroom door opened and Tyler strode in.

Without sparing a single glance at Vicky, he walked straight into the bathroom for a bath.

His phone started to ring as soon as he was done with his bath.

Not at all concerned by Vicky's presence in the room, he answered the call in the bedroom. "Sheila.”

Vicky's attention was instantly drawn at the mention of Sheila’s name. She kept her head bowed as though she was focusing on the book while trying to pay attention to the phone call.

Sheila's voice was heard distinctively in the middle of a silent night.

"Tyler, something happened on my end. Can you come over?"

After a few moments of silence, he said, "Sure." He then hung up and went to change.

Vicky watched his towering figure from behind and could no longer suppress the urge to speak up. "Tyler, are you going out?"

He stilled. "Yeah."

She gazed up at him. "Are you going to see Sheila?"

"Yes."

She opened her mouth to speak but could not make a single sound.

Tyler stood still for a few moments and left when he realized that she had nothing else to say.

The door closed, blocking his figure from her sight.

At midnight, Vicky lied in bed and struggled to fall asleep because Tyler had not returned home.

She felt devastated and came close to calling him to ask when he would be returning.

All the lights in the house had already been turned off, and the silvery moonlight shone into the room.

Just as she drifted to sleep, she heard steady footsteps approaching from outside the bedroom door, and she instantly perked up.

'Is Tyler back?' she thought to herself. She despised herself for having hope, but she could not help the joy she felt when she thought that he returned to her.

She turned on the light by the nightstand. "Welcome back..."

Under the light was a demon mask.

Vicky froze, and her eyes widened. "W-What are you doing here?"
