Chapter 399
Vicky panicked as though she was the one being caught cheating.
âYou had a call and I heard your phone vibrating, so I was going to take it out and bring it over to
youâ¦â
Vicky lowered his gaze to the phone in Vickyâs hand, and his expression darkened.
He snatched the phone from her hand and hissed darkly, âWho gave you the right to go through my
things?â
âIâ¦â Her heart sank at the sight of the frosty expression on his face.
She wanted to argue, but she had indeed been trying to invade his privacy, so she could not argue with
his accusation.
Tyler glanced at the phone and turned around.
Vicky watched him from behind and blurted out asking, âWho is that woman?â
He stilled but did not turn around, so she could not see the look on his face.
Tyler stood wordlessly, and tension began to rise in the air.
âWho exactly was the woman who called you just now?â Vicky repeated her question. 1
Tyler finally turned around to look at her with a cold look in his eyes. âVicky, donât you think youâre being
too smothering?â
âAm I?â She tilted her head to the side and smiled. âIs it smothering to ask if my husband is having an
affair with another woman?â
He clenched his phone with his clean, long fingers and said, âIf thatâs all you want to ask, Iâll tell you
that youâre my only woman.â
She kept her eyes trained on him. âIs that supposed to mean that you arenât close with any other
woman, or just thatâ¦youâve only slept with me?â
Tyler fell into silence.
She smiled bitterly. âSo you donât consider it cheating so long as you arenât sleeping with another
woman, then?â
âWhy would it be called cheating if I havenât touched anyone else? Do you consider someone who
cheats physically and makes promises of loyalty not cheating?â
His words indirectly reminded her of herself, and she could no longer feel the right to confront him.
When she fell into silence, Tyler turned around and warned, âVicky, do not attempt to go over my things
again.â
He then went into a different bedroom with his phone, clearly not intending to spend the night in the
same room as her.
The door closed before her eyes with a thud.
The bed felt empty without Tyler next to her and she felt as though her heart was soaking in ice.
Just then, her phone vibrated when she received a message from the masked man.
[I was in the shower.]
Vicky simply stared at the screen blankly as the memories of Tylerâs cold expression and merciless
tone filled her mind.
