Chapter 724


    Tyler looked into Vicky’s eyes. “Why didn’t you take your phone with you?”


    “I was in a hurry and left the phone at the door when I put on my shoes. I only remembered that I didn’t


    have my phone with me…when I was at your office. I asked the guard about you and was told you


    weren’t in today, so I came back.”


    However, the distance from this apartment to Tyler’s office was very far. It was difficult to hail a taxi


    since it was raining heavily, so she was drenched even with an umbre.


    Since she failed to locate Tyler and did not have her phone with her, she could onlye back to the


    apartment.


    The moment she saw Tyler, she was struck with happiness. Still, she did not understand why Tyler was


    mad at her in the first ce.


    When she was on the way back, she kept asking herself what she did to have made Tyler angry. Was it


    because she agreed to have intimacy with him when they were not married or an actual couple? Was it


    because he thought she was alright with sleeping with any men?


    Meanwhile, her exnation soothed Tyler’s tense nerves.


    She was not leaving him. Instead, she left the apartment because she looked for him.


    Vicky looked up timidly to carefully inspect his emotion. “Are you…still angry?”


    After a moment of silence, Tyler answered, “No.”


    “Really?”


    “Yes.” Tyler approached her, wanting to lift her.


    Her clothes were wet and diforting when they stuck to her skin. Instinctively, she backed up a few


    steps when Tyler wanted to lift her.


    Tyler was shocked, and he gazed at Vicky.


    Quickly, Vicky exined, “My clothes are wet. Your clothes will get wet if you carry me.”


    “It’s fine.” Tyler went ahead and lifted her nheless.

    He brought her to the bathroom. “Take a hot bath so you won’t get sick. I’m going to make you some


    hot soup.”


    “Okay.” Vicky felt warm even before the hot bath. “Put me down.”


    Tyler put her down.


    There was already water filled in the bathtub.


    As Vicky was about to test the water temperature, Tyler’s hand reached for the button on her top. She


    froze at this, and her body became tense.


    “I…I can take it off myself.”


    Tyler did not say anything and continued to unbutton her top.


    Vicky’s body trembled, but she did not struggle or reject him anymore. She looked down and covered


    her face with her long hair.


    Soon, Tyler helped her to take off her top, and he touched her delicate skin.


    “It healed.” His voice was deep and cold. “I don’t see any scars.”


    Vicky looked up at him in surprise.


    Tyler bent down and kissed her forehead. “Enjoy your bath. I’m going to make soup for you now.”


    Right after that, he left the bathroom.


    He was just checking if she had scars after all.


    She thought…


    Her face blushed.


    …


    After she finished her bath, there was hot soup on the table.


    Tyler looked at her wet hair and furrowed his eyebrows. “Why didn’t you blow dry your hair?”


    “I forgot,” Vicky answered.


    Tyler got up and said, “Drink the soup. I’ll go get the hair dryer.”


    Vicky remained where she was and looked at his tall, strong back. Her chest felt heavy as if a rock was


    stuck inside.


    Shortly, Tyler returned with the hair dryer in his hand. Vicky went to the couch after she finished the


    soup.


    As expected, Tyler helped Vicky to blow dry her hair, albeit rather clumsily.
