Chapter 721
"W-What's wrong?’
Tyler continued to look at her with an unreadable, eerie expression. Suddenly, an odd-sounding chuckle escaped
him when he realized Vicky had no idea what she did or said to have him react this way.
"A way to return what I did for you? So everything you did for the past few days was a gesture to return for what I
did for you?"
Vicky was stunned. "Yes..."
Even before she finished her sentence, Tyler started to laugh discreetly. Despite that, he was not...genuinely happy.
His eyes were dark and hurtful, and his laughter was full of irony.
It caused Vicky to panic, and her instincts kicked in as she grabbed Tyler’s arm.
However, Tyler withdrew his arm indifferently and got on his feet. He put on his usual indifferent, cold face while his
eyes looked clear and cold.

"Tyler..."
Tyler had been very gentle and caring to her as of late. To be more exact, he would fulfill any of the wishes she
expressed. For instance, she said the home would look nicer if there were more plants around, and he arranged for
people to send the plants she liked to the building the next day. Not to mention, he would make any dish she craved.
Just last night, she remembered the pastry from the bakery near her university and said faintly how she missed
them. Despite the rain, Tyler drove an hour to the bakery to buy what she wanted.
She had gotten used to his gentleness and tenderness that she could not remember when he last showed her this
aloofness of his.
Tyler got down from the bed and picked up the shirt that was thrown on the floor. He put it back on and buttoned it
with his cold slender fingers. The cool colors of the buttons set off a desolate vibe.
He swiftly got dressed up tidily and elegantly.
Vicky called out to him as he walked out of the room, yet he merely walked away unresponsively as if he did not
hear her calling him.
After a while, she heard the door open and close again.
He... He was gone.
Vicky was mystified as to what happened. Too stunned and dumbstruck; distressed and flustered. Her heart ached
in the confusion of why Tyler suddenly changed.
It rained almost every day. The sun would shine brightly in the morning, but the skies would darken with clouds
during noon.
In just a while, the rain started pouring from the sky, the raindrops hitting the windows and scrolling down the glass.
Vicky quickly took in the flowers on the balcony. She then stood in front of the window and looked out the window at
the rain.
The sky turned dark when she finally moved away. She looked at the clock on the wall.
It was 8 p.m., and Tyler was not home yet.
She tried calling him, but he neither answered nor replied to the messages she sent.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmVicky did not know if he was ignoring her on purpose or.Jf something bad happened to him. She wondered if
Jonathan and the other guys had found him or if he might have ended up in an accident due to the downpour.
As her imagination ran rampant, she grew nervous and gradually felt flustered.
This anxious feeling barely haunted her for the past few days as Tyler was there to accompany her.
She could not control how worried she was, nor could she control thinking of the worst-case scenario that could
happen to Tyler.
She tried calling him one last time, but it was for naught. No one picked up the call. She could not stand it anymore.
Grabbed an umbrella and out she went to his office to take a look.
It was 10 p.m. when Tyler returned, his body reeking of alcohol.
The house was pitch-black, and the one who would normally wait for his return was nowhere to be seen.
He curled his lips into a sarcastic smile.
Changing into his home slippers, he went to the bathroom to take his shower.
When he walked past Vicky's room, he stopped and noted that the door was closed.
Soon, he quickly walked away.
At that moment, a bolt of lightning pierced through the sky, and thunder started rumbling. This stopped Tyler once
more.
After standing in front of the door for a few seconds, Tyler decided to reach for the doorknob and twisted it.
