Chapter 41
According to Vicky’s understanding, other than Sheila, Tyler’s first love, no other woman could make him
fall for her.
If that was the case, who was the person that Tyler saw in her?
Without thinking about it, Vicky asked, “Tyler, other than Sheila, have you ever liked anybody else?”
Tyler’s dark expression suddenly fell back into normalcy. He lowered his eyes and collected his
emotions.” Why are you suddenly asking me this?”
Vicky replied, “I have to understand who I’m going up against. I want to know if I have any other
competition other than Sheila.”
Since she had signed the agreement, Vicky was open about her intentions. For the past three months,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshe had tried to make Tyler like her, so asking such a question was not considered strange.
Tyler did not answer her, however. He merely closed the documents in his hands. “I’ll take a shower, then
rest.”
He then got up and left the room.
Vicky remained in the same spot as she stared at the man’s long, slender figure. Her brow furrowed a
little.
She felt that Tyler was trying to avoid her question.
Could it be…that he indeed harbored feelings for another woman than Sheila before?
After the shower, Tyler returned to his bedroom.
Vicky, on the other side of the bed, felt a little nervous. The last time Tyler returned, his words seemed to
have conveyed to her that they would not be only the nominal husband and wife.
If she did not refuse him back then, she strongly suspected that he would have slept with her.
Back then, she truly felt threatened by him.
At that thought, Vicky felt rather unsettled.
Although Tyler was her husband, he was only slightly better than a stranger, at best. She found it hard to
accept if she were to have a relationship with him at that moment.
Tyler pulled back the sheets and laid on the other side of the bed.
Vicky closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, but her body was taut.
If he wanted it, according to their agreement, she could not refuse him. After all, she was the one who
suggested that they be a normal couple.
Once in bed, Tyler switched off the lights by the nightstand.
The room was in darkness and silence. Vicky could even hear her heart beating wildly.

Was
Tyler…asleep?
The next day, Tyler woke up on time due to his biological clock. Opening his eyes, he realized that the
woman who slept next to him was long gone.
After washing up, he headed downstairs where he found her placing breakfast on the dining table.
Seeing him coming down the stairs, she looked up at him and gave him a gentle smile. “Breakfast is
ready. Come and have some.”
Afraid that he would refuse, she added, “Nanny Paterson said you have stomach complications, so it’s
more the reason you can’t miss breakfast.”
