Chapter 158
Tyler’s eyes looked dark when he saw Vicky leaning on the headboard looking at him. "Why haven't
you slept?"
Vicky's voice was calm and gentle. There was no expression on her face." Didn't I say I'd wait for you?'
Tyler paused for a while before walking to her. His tall shadow covered her entire body. When he got
close enough, the smell of disinfectant on him was so thick that she felt nauseous.
Tyler looked at her calm face and said, "I was going to come back, but the hospital called and said
Sheila's condition shifted into a more dangerous state, so I went over to take a look."
Vicky did not continue the topic. "It's very late. Go shower and rest early."
Tyler remained where he was and gazed at her. "Don't wait until late hours from now on."
Vicky nodded. "Okay. But you have to remember to call me or text me, or I'll worry about you."
Tyler must have felt touched by words that his dark expression slowly eased off. He bent down and

Vicky looked at his tall, handsome back. The smell of disinfectant never left her.
For the next couple of days, Tyler seemed to be extremely busy, and he would return home later each
day.
Vicky did not ask if he was busy with work or Sheila; there was no meaning even if she asked.
Regardless of what it was, she did not have any reason to stop him.
Nevertheless, the faint disinfectant smell on his body lingered in the air every day as if it was his
perfume that he sprayed on his body.
One night, Tyler surprisingly went back home before dinner time to eat. At that moment, Vicky realized
they had not sat together to eat for a long time as she saw him at the dining table.
For the past few days, he left before she woke up and normally returned after she had fallen asleep at
night. Except for the necessary phone calls and text messages, they did not speak to each other very
often.
"The food will get cold if you continue to daydream," Tyler said with his clear and crisp voice from
across Vicky.
In the meantime, he grabbed some food and placed it on her plate.
Vicky looked up to see his deep blue eyes that resembled the color of the ocean. Suddenly, her heart
skipped a beat.
"Okay." She quickly ate the food Tyler took for her and finished everything.
When they finished dinner, Tyler usually would go to the study to work, but not tonight. He went out
walking with her.
As the sun was setting down, the sky was dyed with hues of yellow, orange, and red. Soon, the sky
turned dark.
There was a park near the mansion with a good greenery view. Every day after dinner, Vicky would go
to the park to take a walk to help with digestion.
She looked at the tall handsome man beside her and said softly, "You can do your work if you're busy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYou don't have to accompany me walking."
In fact, she understood Tyler must have felt he had not spent much time with her lately. Since he was
less busy today, he thought he could spend some time with her.
Tyler naturally held her hand. "It's alright. I'm not busy today."
The breezing wind blew on their cheeks. It felt so comfortable, especially when Vicky could not detect
the smell of disinfectant in the air anymore. The air felt fresher.
Vicky did not insist anymore and enjoyed the rare quiet moment.
The sky turned completely dark.
When everything ended, Tyler carried Vicky into the restroom to take a shower. A hungry man was
absolutely terrifying.
At that moment, Vicky thought all the things Tyler did, having dinner with her and walking with her after
dinner, were all for that moment. After they finished walking, he showed his true intention.
When the bathtub was filled with water, Tyler put Vicky into the bathtub. She was completely worn out,
but she felt less fatigued after she enjoyed the warm, comfortable bath.
Suddenly, Tyler's long fingers pressed against her temples.
