Chapter 1355
Cece did not fully agree with Jennifer. "But Mister Hart has oppressed Vicky before this and given her the cold
shoulder multiple times! How is that considered caring?"
However, Jennifer's words silenced all of Cece's disagreement.
"If he truly didn't care about Vicky, why has he been unwilling to let her go or divorce her?"
After Vicky patiently comforted him, Tyler's emotions gradually stabilized.
Once they got in the car and fastened their seatbelts, she noticed Tyler rubbing his temples, looking uncomfortable.
"Tyler, are you okay? Do you have a headache?" Vicky asked, concerned.
Calmly, he replied, "I probably didn't get enough rest yesterday."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAn ominous feeling loomed over Vicky's heart. She did not say anything more and suggested, "Let's sleep early
tonight, then."
Unaware of her inner thoughts, Tyler responded, "Sure."
Though they did not discuss her 'disappearance' again, Vicky clearly felt that Tyler had become more reliant on her
than before. More precisely, he was guarding her.
Previously, she could wake up early to prepare breakfast for Tyler. After what happened, however, he would not let
her make breakfast anymore as she would be out of his sight.
At the same time, Vicky noticed Tyler had become more of a homebody. He used to attend social functions and
events. Lately, however, he would return home after work and refused to attend any social functions even when
Vicky offered to go with him.
When he was not too busy, Vicky would try to invite him to go out, yet Tyler would refuse to leave the house. In the
end, Vicky could only stay at home with him while he worked.
She contacted Isabella behind Tyler's back and learned that Isabella's plan was still in the making.
She told Vicky not to worry and be patient.
A month quickly passed.
Due to her companionship and newfound patience, Vicky finally managed to gain the freedom of not having to
accompany Tyler to meetings while he worked.
One day, much to her bewilderment, Tyler invited Vicky to a restaurant for lunch.
Recently, Tyler had been leading a secluded life with a fixed schedule every day, bound to his office even during
lunch.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmVicky had asked Isabella about it, and Isabella explained," Your previous 'disappearance' had quite an impact on
Mister Hart. He now perceives the outside world as unsafe, fearing
that if he takes you out, you'll disappear again. I guess that's why he's becoming more reclusive. This is a form of
emotional seclusion; many patients with depression tend to avoid facing the outside world. Missus Hart, you mustn't
further agitate him in the near future, or his condition might worsen. Try to fulfill any of his requests whenever
possible. If his condition improves, it will show."
Vicky felt it was a sign that Tyler was recovering since he was willing to go outside for lunch.
"Why aren't you ordering anything? Do you not like the food here?" Tyler's voice snapped her out of her thoughts.
She sobered and realized she had been staring at the menu fora longtime.
"No." She smiled. "It's just been so long since we dined out that I don't know what to order."
Both Vicky and Tyler had not gone outside for food for over a month and a half.
