Chapter 776


    “Vicky… Vicky…” A clear and familiar voice was calling her, and for a moment, Vicky did not know


    whether she was dreaming or awake.


    “Wake up, Vicky!” That voice was still calling her. She frowned and slowly opened her eyes.


    The bedsidemp was dimly lit, making it hard for her to make out the person’s features.


    “Tyler? It’ste. Why aren’t you sleeping? The doctor said you need to rest more…” mumbled Vicky.


    Suddenly, her voice stopped when she realized she was actually in her own ce and not the hospital.


    ‘Oh, it was just a dream. I haven’t had one of those for quite a while,’ she thought, crestfallen.


    A memory came back to her—it was her birthday that day, but her husband ditched her to go save


    another woman.


    Tyler’s eyes flickered slightly when he noticed the faraway look on her face.


    “Happy birthday, Vicky.”


    Vicky nced at the clock on the wall. It was 11:58 p.m., still her birthday.


    She found the whole thing kind of ironic but decided to keep her thoughts to herself.


    “Thank you,” she said coolly. Then, shey down on the bed again to continue her slumber.


    “Wait a minute,” said Tyler, stopping her.


    “What?” Vicky looked at him.


    Tyler brought out an exquisitely wrapped present and said, “This is a present for you.”


    Vicky was silent for a few seconds before epting the present and casually putting it on the bedside


    table.


    “It’ste. Go to sleep.”


    Tyler remained sitting by her bed, looking at her. “Aren’t you going to open it?”


    “I’ll do it tomorrow.”

    Tyler’s eyes darkened. “It’s tomorrow now.”


    Vicky nced at the time. It was past midnight.


    She was not in the mood to find out what Tyler gave her, but she knew that—based on his personality


    —he would not let her sleep a wink if she did not open the present.ninjanovel


    Vicky thought she might as well get it over with. Thus, she nced at the gift on the table before


    grabbing and opening it to reveal a dainty bracelet nestling in the box.


    The bracelet looked simr to the one Tyler bought at the auction, but it was actually a different one.


    The expensive-looking bracelet was exquisitely formed with chain links in the shape of rose petals that


    fitted Vicky’s aesthetics to a tee.


    She would have been delighted to receive such a gift over a candle-lit dinner in a restaurant, but at this


    moment, the only thing she felt was the tightness in her chest. Nheless, she forced out a smile for


    Tyler’s sake.


    “Thank you. This bracelet is gorgeous.” Vicky put the bracelet back in its box; she had no intention


    whatsoever to wear it.


    “Aren’t you going to try it on?” questioned Tyler.


    Vicky became annoyed. It took all of her willpower to not show it on her face. “I’ll do that tomorrow. I


    find it ufortable to sleep with a bracelet on my wrist.”


    Vicky theny down without sparing another nce at Tyler when suddenly, she felt her head being


    pinned down. What immediately followed was Tyler’s lips on hers. It only took her one second to snap


    out of her shock before she put up a struggle against him.
