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.

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.]

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?]
