Chapter 491: Chapter 493

Vicky knew what Tyler meant.

Since they were only going for a casual trip, it was not important enough for Tyler to break his promise.

Vicky fell into silence, and Tyler’s lips curled into a smirk. “You don’t want me to go?”

“Am I supposed to be thrilled that my husband is celebrating another woman’s birthday for her, then?”

“What else?’

“What?”

“That’s the only reason you’re upset?” The look in his eyes darkened.

She frowned. “What are you trying to say?”

After a few moments of silence, he said, “Nothing.’

Vicky wanted to say something else but decided against it in the end.

Tension rose in the air as silence loomed over the room.

Vicky turned to stare outside the window once again, absorbed in her thoughts.

Sometime later, Tyler broke the silence. “Since I’ve chosen to be with you, I won’t see anyone else. I

see Gloria and Sheila the same way.”

Vicky smiled coldly. “But you won’t stand idle if something happens to them, right?”

“Yes.”

“I know why you cant leave Sheila alone, but what about Gloria?”

Rumors about Sheila being Tyler’s first love had circulated for the longest time, but it was far from the

truth. He cared for Sheila and would help her so long as it fell within the range of capability without

crossing any of his principles. Still, he failed to hide the cold nature of his personality, and soon, it

became clear that he was helping Sheila because he owed her.

Once the debt was cleared or Sheila asked for something out of line, his concern for her would vanish

immediately.

It was not true love, and it was the same type of ‘love’ Vicky received.

He would be extremely gentle when she did not challenge him but would turn apathetic once she did

something that upset him.

Vicky knew that Tyler did not love Sheila, but Gloria was a different case because she was, by all

means, Tyler’s actual first love, so Vicky did not believe that he saw Sheila and Gloria the same way.

Tyler looked away for a moment and said, “I owe her too much.”

“You sure owe a lot of women,” Vicky said with a sarcastic smile. 1

“Just the two.”

‘Sheila and Gloria are lucky to have Tyler in their debts. Because of that, they get the privileges

equivalent of…no, more than what Missus Hart gets,’ Vicky thought with an inward sneer. ‘Meanwhile,

the actual Missus Hart has her legs destroyed and is kept like a pet.’

Tyler seemed to have read her mind and smiled coldly. “No matter how much I owe them, you owe me

more.”

He pulled her into his arms and closed his eyes in bed. *l worked through the night and didn’t come

inside because I didn’t want to wake you… I’m feeling a little tired now, so let’s take a nap.”

She pushed his arm away in annoyance, and he opened his eyes abruptly.” If you don’t want to sleep,

we can do something else.”

Tyler had not laid a finger on her since she fell sick because she lost consciousness, precisely because

she was drained after a night with him.
