Ch. 421..430
Loving You In Secret Chapter 421-Sebastian shook his head. "It dawned on me that I overreacted after I got my bearings, so I tried to contact Alex again, but I couldn't find him. I asked his family, but they said Alex had been out of it after his legs were broken, and he never cared about other people.
"One day, he left a letter and left his family. He asked his family and friends not to worry about him because he only wanted some time to be alone. After that...l can't get my hands on any of his news."
Vicky heard that and her eyes started to waver. She thought the dream she had last night happened because of the shocking truth she discovered. From the looks of it, it was more than what she thought.
By then. Missus Mills came out with a bowl of washed fruits.
"Missus Hart.’ She gave Sebastian a warning look before smiling at Vicky." Please have some fruits."
Ever since Vicky was here, she had been calling Vicky 'Missus Hart'. It was an act of means to remind Vicky and also Sebastian of their situation.
Vicky looked at Missus Mills and said, ’Thank you."
Suddenly, Missus Mills looked solemn. "Hey, Vicky. You've grown up with Sebastian, so you surely know what kind of person Sebastian is. I have no idea what our family has done to have crossed Mister Hart. Hart Corporation had been targeting Mills Group and buying shares of the group. It's not just here, but it happened to our oversea business too.
"I'm not going to hide it from you. Mills Group started to shift the business to Lovian because of the attack from Hart Corporation. Our business power here is relatively limited. The only reason we haven't left this city is that we are trying to shift everything overseas... Our family will, more or less, leave Zendonia in a year.
"But..." She looked at Vicky. "Now that Hart Corporation is after our business and taking away our orders... I'm afraid our cash flow is going to have a problem, and we'll be on the edge of bankruptcy.’
Vicky asked, "What would you like me to do?"
"Vicky, I watched you grow up, so I'm going to be frank with you. I hope you can put in some words for us and ask Tyler to leave us alone. If he promises this, I'll immediately leave Zendonia with Sebastian and promise never to come back to Stoneford City," Missus Mills answered.
Before Vicky said anything, the look on Sebastian's face changed. He said," Mother, no..."
Missus Mills cut him off, "Sebastian, don't tell me you're willing to see our business be destroyed? Fine. Let's not talk about the business. What about you? It was a narrow escape for you. Have you ever thought of...what if it happens again?"
Her eyes became watery. "Do you want us to grieve and mourn for you?"
Sebastian felt sorry too. He said softly, "Maybe he's not the one who caused the accident..."
"Maybe, you say?" Missus Mills sneered sarcastically. "Have you forgotten what he had done to you before you left Zendonia a few years ago?"
It left Sebastian speechless.
Vicky did not know there was a hidden reason why Sebastian left. She thus asked, "Missus Mills, can you please tell me what happened in detail?"
Missus Mills did not intend to hide anymore and told the truth. "Sebastian had always had a thing for you. After your family was ruined and your engagement with Harvey was over, Sebastian wanted to marry you... You hesitated with his proposal and didn't reject him like before, probably because of what happened to your family.
"At that time, Sebastian was very happy. As for what happened later, I don't truly know either. Sebastian refused to tell me. I only know you ended up with Tyler, and there was a rumor saying you were pregnant with his child.
"Sebastian couldn't accept it and tried to look for you a few times. One time, Tyler saw this and..."
Missus Mills paused and looked at Sebastian. Oddly, Sebastian's face looked terrible too.
She continued, "Tyler was a lunatic. He got someone to cause a car accident and knocked Sebastian until he was severely injured!"
Loving You In Secret Chapter 422-Vicky frowned. "Was there a misunderstanding?"
At that time, Tyler did not like her. Instead, he should be hating her. It was hardly unlikely he was the one who did that to Sebastian.
Missus Mills sneered, 'There was no misunderstanding; he admitted it himself. Not long later, you two got married."
She continued, "Tyler is too powerful, and we cant defeat him. We can only hide from him. After Sebastian was cured, I sent him away. Not long later, he returned, as you can see, yet history seems to have repeated itself. Is there anything wrong with me suspecting it was Tyler's doing?"
Vicky was speechless.
Sebastian looked depressed after being reminded of the awful past.
After a while, Vicky was the one who broke the silence. "I understand."
She stood up and bowed respectfully at Missus Mills. "I'm truly sorry for causing so much trouble to Sebastian and your family. I'll do something about it."
Obviously, Missus Mills did not dare to act nobly especially since she was asking a favor from Vicky. She quickly stood up and tried to be polite." You've forgotten everything. This has nothing to do with you."
Vicky forced herself to smile. "If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way."
Missus Mills sent her out.
"Vicky." Suddenly, Sebastian said, "Leave with me."
Before Vicky could say anything, the look on Missus Mills' changed." Sebastian, what are you talking about? She's Tyler's wife now! How can she leave with another man?"
At this point, Vicky finally understood why Missus Mills refused to let Sebastian marry her. She suppressed her emotions. "Sebastian... Thank you for everything you did for me, but...you know that I've always seen you as a friend. Take care. I'll visit again when I'm free."
After that, she turned around and left.
During the evening, Tyler arrived home punctually. When he entered the house, Vicky was on her way out of the kitchen with a bowl of soup in her hand.
"You're back?" Vicky took the initiative to greet him.
The brooding look in his eyes was evident as he glanced at the soup in her hand and, very quickly, to her face.
Vicky gripped her hand tighter as her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Luckily, Tyler looked away very quickly and said faintly, "You're cooking dinner today?'
"Yes. I'm not too busy with work lately and have some spare time, so I prepared some dishes that you like," Vicky answered.
His toned long legs carried him toward Vicky, and he looked at her with a weird smile. "I thought you weren't going to have the appetite to eat after meeting Sebastian."
Vicky had just placed the soup on the table before she heard what Tyler said. Her fingers trembled.
She blurted, "You followed me?"
Loving You In Secret Chapter 423-Tyler raised an eyebrow. "Followed you?"
Vicky tried to calm herself and, with as much self-control as possible, spoke, "Tyler, you found and brought me back when I left Zendonia. It's not going to be easy for me to run away now that I'm here. Can you please give me some personal space?"
Tyler's face was expressionless. "You were able to escape because I gave you too much 'personal space'. Do you think I'd make the same mistake twice?”
Vicky sneered inwardly. 'I was able to escape, he said? He let me escape and planned everything that happened next. He even found a person to take the blame. It's funny that he can stand there and be calm to say that I was able to escape. How hilarious!' she mused to herself sarcastically.
Vicky did not want to argue with him, so she suppressed her anger. ’ Sebastian and I are just friends... I heard he is in the hospital, so I thought of visiting him."
She took a deep breath. "I misunderstood him, and now, his family is having a hard time because of me..."
She paused before continuing, "Tyler, can you please let him and his family go this time?"
Tyler’s face was indifferent. "I already let them go once.”
"If you're willing to let them go, Sebastian will never come back to Zendonia after he recovers. The Mills family will also leave this place within a year and never come back," Vicky added.
Tyler's thin lips parted as he answered, "No.”
"They didn't commit any serious crime. There's no need to be so harsh," Vicky tried to persuade.
"Being kind to your enemy is cruel to yourself." Tyler looked at her." Besides, he tried to challenge me many times. It's a serious crime to me. I'm kind enough to let him breathe."
"What does it take to have you let them go?' Vicky asked.
"I don't know either." Tyler glanced at her and said nonchalantly, "Why don't ...you think of a way for me?”
It was that type of tone again! If Vicky believed in him, it would probably end up like what happened in her dream last night. She lowered her head and said nothing.
Tyler did not care. He went upstairs to change his clothes before coming down for dinner. His face was so alluring, and his movement looked regally elegant.
The moment she thought of the things he did, Vicky's body shivered in coldness.
A week later.
Vicky rubbed her aching glabella when her phone continued to vibrate. In the end, she answered the call.
"Vicky, have you talked to Tyler? He didn't stop the acquisition of our share and even met up with our business partners and shareholders!" Missus Mills sounded very agitated. ’He's trying to destroy us!"
She would call Vicky every day—sometimes, more than 10 times a day.
Vicky was watching the news on the television, and her face looked exhausted.
"According to the latest news, the share price of Mills Group hit rock bottom again today. In just a week's time, its market value has decreased by more than one billion and five hundred dollars..."
For the whole week, Vicky tried various methods yet still failed to make Tyler change his mind. There was no other way she could think of when nothing worked on him.
"Missus Mills..." Her voice sounded terrible. "What's the situation with Mills Group?"
Missus Mills sounded like she was crying. "If this continues next week, Mills Group.Js going to declare bankruptcy!’
Vicky gripped her phone tightly.
Tyler was a madman. Any man who tried to be close to her or help her ended up in a terrible position. It was like he was trying to cut off her wings.
Vicky wanted to apologize, but it meant nothing at all when she could not do anything to help Mills Group.
Loving You In Secret Chapter 424-Thus, Vicky fell silent.
"Please, Vicky," Missus Mills whimpered, "help Sebastian. Help my family, please. I'm begging you!"
"Missus Mills. I wish to help too, but...Tyler doesn't listen to me," Vicky explained.
"I heard that Harvey is back in Stoneford City," said Missus Mills. "The grudges between Harvey and Tyler aren't secret. If you go ask Harvey for help, I'm sure he's willing to help!'
Vicky made no promises. Asking Harvey for help to fight against Tyler would mean she betrayed Tyler and stood against him. The grudges between them were not as easy as 'you hate me, and I hate you'.
It was a far different level from the way Tyler hated Sebastian.
"Vicky, Tyler never loved you!" Missus Mills said in a hurry when she realized Vicky was hesitating. "There's something I never want to tell you, but he's crossed the line. The real person he loved wasn’t Sheila. It's..."
Missus Mills paused and hesitated. Yet, she remembered how Tyler was ruining her family, and all caution was flung out of the window.
'There's nothing worse than this anymore! If he's not going to let us live, I won't let him live in peace!' she told herself resolutely.
"The person he loves is your cousin, Gloria!" Missus Mills exposed.
A few days later.
Vicky just got out of the bathroom when she caught a whiff of a heavy scent of alcohol. Tyler had a dinner to attend this night, so he was a little late when he returned.
Before she could react, someone suddenly hugged her from behind. Subsequently, she found her skin repeatedly peppered with kisses.
She frowned with disgust. She tried to evade Tyler's kisses and said, "You haven't had your shower yet-mmph!"
"I'll shower later," said Tyler, his voice smoky and husky.
"You should go now. You stink,” Vicky insisted.
Tyler finally reacted to that and let her go.
She had no idea where he went today, but it appeared he drank a little more. His clear eyes looked glossed over, unlike his normal diligent look.
He looked at her from a condescending angle. His body coincidentally covered the light behind him, and his shadow was covering her like a huge net. She had nowhere to run.
He just stood there and looked at her while being in a blurred moment.
That look shattered Vicky's heart.
Her feelings were not wrong. He truly was looking at her while thinking of someone else. She lowered her head and walked right past him.
"Hurry up and go shower," she said.
More than 10 minutes later, Tyler walked out of the bathroom without his towel to cover his body.
It was a windy night, and Tyler had fallen into a deep sleep beside Vicky.
She double-checked to make sure Tyler was asleep before getting off the bed nimbly like a cat would.
Strands of her hair fluttered as the night breeze blew at her.
There was a black car parked outside of the mansion, and a man leaned lazily on the vehicle. When he saw Vicky was out, he stood straight.
"You got everything?" The man's deep voice was especially alluring in the quiet night.
Vicky nodded and passed the things in her hand to the man.
She hesitated, "Are you sure I can get a divorce...without him present to sign it?"
Loving You In Secret Chapter 425-The man smiled. "As long as you have the marriage certificate, his social security number, and a copy of his driving license, then yes."
Vicky looked at him and said, "Thank you, Mister Sparks."
Harvey raised an eyebrow. "Before you lost your memory, you always called me Harvey. I'm not used to hearing you calling me Mister Sparks."
Vicky smiled. "Thank you, Harvey."
Harvey smiled brightly and cheerfully. Suddenly, he realized Vicky came empty-handed. He asked, "You're not going to bring anything with you?"
"It's rare for him to get drunk. I'm afraid I'll wake him up if I gather my things," Vicky answered.
She did not dare to pack anything because she was afraid Tyler might notice something.
Harvey nodded. 'Alright. You can buy the things you need when you reach your destination."
Vicky opened her mouth and wanted to say something as she looked at Harvey's handsome yet impish face.
Harvey knew what was in her mind and said seriously, "I've already requested someone to pump in capital to Mills Group to stabilize their share price. Don’t worry. The Mills family will be alright."
Vicky looked at him and said, "If Tyler continues to attack them, won't the money you invested be gone too?"
He smiled. "Mills Group isn't that strong in the world. It's hard for them to survive if someone is targeting them, yeah, but it's a different story for Johnson Corporation. Tyler is going to have a hard time if he wants to cause trouble for us. It's not worth it. But..."
He looked at Vicky and said seriously, "Someone from Johnson Corporation is in touch with Mills Group to talk about acquisition. If Mills Group refuses, then we're not going to invest in them without any valid reason."
Vicky understood that. "Regardless, I still need to thank you."
Harvey opened the car door for her. "Let's go; we can talk more on the way. I've temporarily knocked out the people Tyler sent to monitor you. Once they realize something is wrong, we're going to be in deep trouble."
"Alright." Vicky got into the car.
Soon, Harvey's car drove away.
Vicky's eyes wavered as she looked at the mansion outside the window. The thought of leaving Tyler skyrocketed when she knew Tyler was the masked man. She knew very well she would be trapped in this tomb forever if Tyler refused to let her go.
From some points, Tyler succeeded. Without a thorough plan, she did not dare to mention the word 'divorce' anymore.
The thing that happened to the Mills family and what Missus Mills told her was the final straw. After having failed in a few attempts to change Tyler's decision, she decided to call Harvey, who listened and agreed to help her without hesitation.
However, he had one condition. He hoped she could leave Tyler, leave this place, and be far away from this fight.
If she was asked to do this in the past, she would surely hesitate. However, this condition was actually a way to help her escape this hell.
Nonetheless, she insisted on filing for divorce before leaving Tyler. If the divorce failed, it meant nothing for her to leave him.
Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.
Tyler's vibrating phone woke him up. The hangover caused his head to be in pain. He reached for the phone on the bedside table and answered it.
"Mister Hart..." muttered his subordinate cautiously. "We.Jost contact with men who are responsible for your wife's safety. We then found them knocked out, having been tranquilized."
Tyler turned to look at the other side of the bed and instantly knew what happened.
Loving You In Secret Chapter 426-Tyler’s eyes turned cold, and so did his voice.
"Where's Vicky?" he asked.
"She... She left Stoneford City three hours ago, heading somewhere else...” his subordinate answered with fear.
The air became stagnant.
Tyler was not a person who liked to express his emotions visibly. Even when he was infuriated, he would never scold his subordinate. More often, his silence brought more fear when compared to the time he spoke.
"Huh," he scoffed smokily. It sounded apathetic and oppressing.
He spoke to himself, "My girl hasn't learned her lesson yet, it seems."
Vicky acted obediently this whole time. Although there were times she would fight back, it was nothing to Tyler. He thought she finally learned her lesson and stopped thinking of running after what happened at Forever Night.
It turned out she still had it in her to run.
"Mister Hart.” His subordinate hesitated upon realizing Tyler was murmuring. "Umm...what should we do?”
Tyler did not panic as he calmly instructed, "Inform the airline and request for the plane to turn back."
Stoneford City was in the heart of Zendonia. It would take at least five hours before the place was out of Zendonia's air. Currently, the plane was still within Zendonia's sky.
The subordinate was stunned by Tyler's instruction and said nothing.
Tyler suddenly changed his mind. "Forget it. Have the place land at the nearest airport."
Just as the subordinate was about to ask something, Tyler hung up the phone.
The subordinate was in charge of arranging men with the responsibility to stalk and monitor the target. He did not have any experience to do what Tyler requested.
Obviously, the airline would not listen to his request to land the plane without presenting any documents. As a result, he could only call Harry for help.
After knowing the difficulties, Harry said after a few seconds of silence. "I got it. I'll settle this.”
"But..." the subordinate hesitated. "I know Mister Hart is very powerful, but the airline isn't under our corporation. I'm afraid..."
Harry smiled. "We completed the acquisition with a few of the major airlines last year. This wasn't published to the public, but the corporation is already in control of them."
As soon as the news of the plane landing at the nearest airport was broadcasted, all the passengers in the cabin aired their complaints.
The look on Vicky's face became terrible.
"Why is the plane needed to land at the nearest airport? Do you think Tyler is behind this?" she asked.
Harvey looked outside the window at the sky that was turning bright. "I’ve checked that Tyler didn't have control over this airline. Theoretically, it shouldn't be a problem. If this is Tyler's doing...then why are we landing at the nearest airport instead of turning back?"
That slightly brought some peace to Vicky's worried mind.
"Maybe the plane is having some technical issues." Harvey's handsome face looked serious. "Tyler always plays out of the ordinary. We should be cautious.”
He looked at Vicky and said, "We must leave the airport as soon as the plane lands."
Vicky got affected by Harvey’s emotions, and she started to worry again.
Half an hour later, the plane landed safely at the airport of Jencity.
When that happened, Vicky's phone rang. Her fingers trembled when she saw the caller ID.
After a few seconds of hesitation, she eventually answered the phone.
A man's cold voice rang from the speaker, "A divorce certificate... Vicky Shaw, you are truly amazing. You went behind me and filed for a divorce."
Loving You In Secret Chapter 427-Harvey was very efficient. It did not matter that it was nighttime and no one was working. He still had ways to help Vicky to file for the divorce when he had all the documents. It only took him a night to file the divorce paper and send the divorce certificate to Tyler's mansion.
Tyler played with the divorce certificate nonchalantly. He curved his thin lips into a smile that could scare a child. His eyes gleamed coldly and maliciously.
Vicky’s heart pounded heavily when all she heard was Tyler's cold voice, and she did not even see his expression at all.
"Tyler, we can't be together." Her voice was soft. "Please let me go.’
"Let you go?" Tyler sneered. "Why didn't you think of letting me go when you climbed onto my bed and forced me to marry you?"
"I was naive and stupid. I'm sorry," Vicky said.
"What's the use of saying you're 'sorry' after you killed a person?" Tyler asked.
Vicky's fingers turned white. "You don't love me anyway! Why do you want to keep me by your side? You can have any woman you want!"
Tyler's voice was indifferent. "Probably because a man is born with the love to challenge the impossible. We yearn for things we can't get."
Vicky’s breaths grew labored. Just as she wanted to say something, someone tapped her shoulder.
Harvey, standing beside her, shook his head.
Vicky understood and said nonchalantly, "Tyler, we're divorced now and are no longer related. Don't ever call me in the future. Bye."
"Vicky Shaw! How dare you-"
Vicky swiftly hung up, not allowing Tyler to speak any further.
"Maybe he’s trying to stall us," murmured Harvey. "We need to leave now."
A few steps later, Vicky remembered something and said, "This phone is from him. Maybe there's a tracking device in it. I should.Jhrow it away."
Harvey nodded and glanced at the wedding band on Vicky's finger.
Vicky, noticing his gaze on her ring, curled up her finger for a while. Before Harvey knew it, she took off the wedding band too. There was no telling if Tyler was crazy enough to implant a tracking device in the wedding band.
"Alright. Let's go."
After Vicky threw away the phone and her wedding band, both of them left.
Jencity was situated at the border of Zendonia with sunny and rainy weather.
When Vicky got into the car, it started to rain heavily. She looked outside the dark scene, and her heart started to throb with fear. The distress and agony Tyler brought on to her were too significant. Even at this point, she had not detached herself from the fear.
Harvey could pick up on her distress as he sat next to her.
He looked toward her. "What's wrong?"
Vicky looked down. "It's nothing."
The rain fell on the window and created gentle taps on the screen. The road on a rainy day was desolate as there were barely any cars or pedestrians.
Jencity was a less developed city, unlike the bustling Stoneford City.
At first, Harvey thought Vicky was worried about how they were going to leave. He said, ’The border is very close. Even if we can't leave by plane, we can just drive."
Vicky nodded after knowing that. "Okay."
As the car was halfway to the border, Harvey’s phone rang. The voice from the other side of the phone was extremely clear in the quiet car.
"Mister Sparks, Hexy informed us that all of the exits in Jencity are blocked, and many unknown people guard them. I think they're after you and Miss Shaw..."
Harvey raised an eyebrow. "They're after me and Vicky?"
Loving You In Secret Chapter 428-"I heard they were looking for a man and a woman. It happened too suddenly, so this is all I could get. Mister Sparks. If they're looking for you, you'll be turning yourself in if you leave now.”
Harvey's pupils shook. "Alright. I got it."
He hung up the phone right after that.
"What's wrong?" Vicky looked at him worriedly. "Is there a problem?"
Harvey sported a reassuring expression and smiled carefreely. "Nothing. Tyler’s reaction is very quick. He has the entire town on lockdown."
Vicky’s pupils shrank, and her face turned pale. "Tyler has the city in a lockdown? Then.Js he going to find us?’
If Tyler found her after this escape...there was no telling that he might just break her legs! The uncontended fear and horror filled her eyes. She started to pant and breathe heavily.
Harvey picked up on her amounting anxiety and behavior, and he asked with furrowed eyebrows, "Vicky, what's wrong?"
Vicky wanted to tell him she was alright, but her body betrayed her as she shook uncontrollably. Even her teeth were grinding out of fear.
Harvey tried calling out to her a few times before she finally reacted by looking back at him with her pale face. "I'm sorry, I-I zoned out just now.
What did you say? Can you say it again?"
Harvey looked at her horrified expression without a soul. He felt sorry for her. "Vicky, I'm not Sebastian. I won't let Tyler take you back so easily."
This was not the first time he went against Tyler, and he was probably the only person who understood what Tyler was capable of.
Tyler had many tricks up his sleeve. He was good at disguises and even good at playing tricks with the mind. Vicky was too naive, and she was never his match.
Vicky smiled forcefully. "Alright. Thank you."
Even with that said, she felt uneasy. She did not know what would happen if Tyler captured and brought her back again. Would he break her leg, or...he would give her to another man she did not know?
Since they were unable to leave Jencity, Harvey got his man to find a place for them to rest. Staying in a hotel was not an option because it was the first place Tyler's men would search.
Vicky did not know how Harvey did it, but he found a two-bedroom apartment. The apartment had everything, and though it was small, it was very clean and neat.
Harvey said, "This apartment belongs to my friend. They're going to search everywhere these few days, so we should stay here to stay off the radar."
Vicky was surprised. "We?"
Harvey looked solemn. "Vicky, until we leave Zendonia, I suggest you stay in my sight and not leave me."
Vicky was stunned by this, but she knew very well what Harvey meant. Although it was inappropriate for them to stay together in the apartment, Tyler was too strong... She was really scared of him.
Harvey knew why Vicky was stunned. He laughed faintly. "Don’t worry. I don't have the habit of forcing myself on a woman." i
Indeed, Harvey did not look like those lustful, disgusting men. He had been a gentleman with her all the time.
Vicky was less worried having that thought in her mind. "Alright."
Soon, the sky turned dark, but the rain never ceased. It hit the tree branches audibly.
Click! A sound came from the door.
Vicky's eyelids fluttered open at this.
Loving You In Secret Chapter 429-A tall man approached her slowly.
Out of the blue, a bolt of lightning appeared in the sky. A cold, ferocious mask looked extremely scary under the light from the lightning. The man approached her quickly and touched her cheek softly.
His voice sounded soft in the weirdest form possible as he said, "Vicky, you're not going anywhere. You're mine. Even when you're dead, you're still mine!’
Suddenly, his soft voice became cold and sharp. ’But why are you such a bad girl? Why do you keep thinking of running away? Since you can't
control your legs, then... You shouldn't keep them. I'll chop them off for you, okay?"
Before Vicky could react, a sharp dagger appeared in the man's hand. The lightning struck the sky once more, illuminating even the room. The dagger glinted sharply.
The man swung and stabbed it into her leg—
"Aah!" Vicky opened her eyes.
Rumble! The thunder and lightning struck together.
With the light from the lightning, Vicky could temporarily see the entire view of her room. There was no one else in the dark room.
'Was that a dream?’ she thought.
Knock, knock, knock!
There was a knock on the door, and Harvey's voice rang from the other side of the door. "Vicky, are you fine?"
Vicky, turning on the light at her bedside, said raspily, ’I'm fine.’
After a few seconds of silence, Harvey replied, ’That's good to know. Rest well. Call me if you need anything."
He did not ask Vicky to open the door nor barged right in. It eased Vicky for sure.
"Okay."
After a whole day of rain, the sun shone brightly the next day.
The moment Harvey left his room, he smelled the aroma of food. He took a turn and walked into the kitchen.
A slim woman was busy in the kitchen. The aroma was coming from the pan in front of her.
Harvey walked over and asked, "Vicky, what are you doing?”
"I'm making breakfast." Vicky looked up. "I saw fresh ingredients in the refrigerator after I woke up, so I thought of making breakfast."
Harvey looked at the food prepared and smiled. "I didn't know you were such a good chef.’
The food was cooked nicely and created a vibrant, appetizing appearance. There was also salad. Harvey felt hungry just by looking at them.
Vicky turned off the fire and said, "It's not good for us to go out and eat now, so we can only eat something simple.'
Harvey’s gaze wavered. "That's very thoughtful of you."
"We're still in Zendonia. Anything can happen." Vicky looked gloomy when she mentioned Tyler. "Tyler is a very careful and smart man. We need to do anything we can to stop him from finding us."
Vicky found a pair of mittens and was about to bring the pan to the dining table when Harvey stopped her. "Let me do it."
Vicky did not insist on doing it by herself.
Both of them started to enjoy the breakfast once they sat at the dining table. All of a sudden, Harvey asked, "Did you have a nightmare last night?"
Vicky paused and nodded softly.
Harvey did not ask further and said, "I've already sent my men to check around. Once we have the chance, I'll make arrangements to send you out of the country in the shortest time. I'll be here with you before that time arrives. Don't worry."
Vicky put down her cutlery and looked at the man in front of her.
"I’m your ex-fiance and Tyler's wife. I mean, I'm your enemy too... Why are you helping me?"
Loving You In Secret Chapter 430-Harvey did not avoid Vicky's question and answered, "I did many bad things to you in the past, so I'm just trying to atone for my sins. Also, Tyler isn't a good guy..."
Harvey frowned, and his gaze darkened the moment Tyler's name came out of his mouth. "He's a despicable jerk!"
Vicky did not reply. 'Calling him a despicable jerk doesn't do justice. He's a lunatic!' she thought.
Her heart throbbed just by hearing Tyler's name. She did not want to continue to discuss Tyler, so she changed the topic. "I never cooked for you before, have I?"
Harvey shook his head. "No."
Vicky asked curiously, "What kind of person was I when you first knew me?"
Harvey curled his lips into a faint smile when he was reminded of the past." You were more active in the past. Your eyes were pure and spirited. At that time, you didn't know how cruel the world was and was a little arrogant."
Vicky was surprised. "I was...like that?"
Harvey looked back at her. "To tell you the truth, you've changed so much. I hardly recognized you when I came back to see you."
Vicky said nothing and fell quiet. 'Love can change a person tremendously after all.'
After breakfast, Harvey reached out to his subordinate for more information. As he expected, the security was even tighter than yesterday. That was not all. The worst news was Tyler had arrived in Jencity too.
The door opened, and Harvey came in with a pot of roses. He had disguised himself before he went out.
Vicky saw the flower in his hands and muttered, "This is..."
Harvey took off his hat and mask and smiled. "It's for you."
"For me?" Vicky was surprised.
"Yes." Harvey placed the flower on the window. "Although Tyler is here, he can't leave his corporation unattended for too long and just stays here. When he leaves, that's going to be our chance."
They had been staying in Jencity for a week. All this while, Jencity had been on lockdown where people were allowed to enter but no one was allowed to leave.
Tyler came here personally to search for them. Harvey could not find the opportunity to leave, so he had been stalling.
"I think Tyler is going to stay here for one more week before he has to leave." Harvey looked at Vicky, and his eyes twinkled with hope. "I know you've been quite bored staying in the apartment the whole week, so it's good if you can take care of the flowers. I remember you used to like roses in the past."
Everyone liked flowers, and Vicky was not an exception. She gave Harvey a bright smile. "Thank you."
This was the first time she smiled at him this way. She never smiled so brightly at him, even when she was his fiancee. Her smile was as beautiful as a fully bloomed flower.
Harvey just stood there and could not look away.
After Vicky expressed her gratitude, she started to look at the flowers and did not notice the look on Harvey's face.
Suddenly, the phone rang and pulled Havery back to reality. He picked up the phone.
"Boss, I have bad news!" His subordinate sounded very anxious. "A few strangers appeared at the apartment you're at now. I think your place isn't safe anymore!"
The look in Harvey's eyes changed. "Okay. I understand."
He quickly hung up the phone and said, "Vicky, we need to leave now."
Vicky was shocked, and no hint was needed to tell her what was going on.
"Alright."
Five minutes later, they were both in a normal black sedan car. However, the driver had a troubled look on his face after he drove not too far away. "Mister Sparks, a few cars are tailing us."
