    Chapter 1040


    “I can see for myself if something is going on between you two and decide if he is worthy of my hand in


    marriage! It’ll be like killing two birds with one stone!” Aurora said.


    Vicky did not know if all nobledies who grew up under their parent’s watchful eyes behaved this way.


    As she stared into the innocent look in Aurora’s eyes, she said, “Did you not see the way Tyler was


    holding me just now?”


    “That’s because you fell,” Aurora said. “You were injured and couldn’t walk. Wouldn’t it be normal for


    him to help you up?” She chuckled innocently. “Doesn’t that show how much of a caring person he is?”


    Vicky was rendered speechless and realized that hinting that something was wrong would not work.


    Vicky took a deep breath and decided to be honest. “Miss Starling, there’s something… I want to tell


    you.”


    “What is it?” Aurora asked curiously.


    “Tyler and I… We’re notpletely separated… I… I…” Vicky found it difficult to put into words. Finally,


    she mustered her courage and said, “On the night of Old Madam Harrison’s birthday banquet… I


    entered the wrong room and… and I…”


    Vicky struggled to continue.


    Both of them were adults, so she was hoping that Aurora would be able to understand what she was


    implying.


    Aurora widened her eyes and asked, “Do you mean to say that you and Tyler…”


    Vicky closed her eyes and said, “I’m sorry, Miss Starling.”


    She expected Aurora to p her in the face, but instead of a p, she heard Aurora’sughter.


    Confused, Vicky opened her eyes.

    Aurora smiled and said, “Vicky, you’re so adorable. You can’t even lie properly.”


    “What? Lie?”


    “Yes, if something had really happened between you and Tyler that night, do you think Elijah would be


    unaware of it? Missus Harrison even mentioned that the Harrison family would have a grandchild


    soon.” Aurora sighed helplessly and said, “Vicky, I know it’s difficult for you to amodate both me


    and Tyler under your roof, but… I’m currently in a situation where I can’t go home and I can’t stay at


    Tyler’s ce. Now that he’s injured and needs care…” She paused to sigh and added, “It’s my fault for


    not exining to you what happened, that must be why you stabbed him. His severe injury is


    complicating this whole thing now. How I wish he wasn’t injured…” She snapped out of it and covered


    her mouth frantically. “Oh… Vicky, I don’t mean to me you! It’s just that Tyler needs someone to take


    care of him and… I don’t want others to find out… What if theye after you… I really don’t mean to


    sound like I’m ming you.”


    Despite what Aurora said, Vicky knew that it was her fault. Aurora had close to no involvement in the


    incident and Vicky had merely lost control because of Tyler’s relentless taunting. Logically, Aurora


    should not bear the consequences that followed.


    At the moment, Aurora was offering to help with taking care of Tyler and even agreed to keep the entire


    incident a secret, so Vicky knew that she had no right to reject Aurora’s kind request.


    As her final struggle, she said, “I’m not saying that because I don’t want you to stay here, Miss Starling.


    Tyler and I… don’t really get along.”


    Aurora did not buy it and chuckled. “I know you two don’t get along. Why else would you get a divorce?


    If something really was going on between you two, you wouldn’t dare keep it from me. It’s settled, then.


    Leave taking care of Tyler to me. You can get on with your life and we won’t cause you any trouble.”


    She tapped Vicky on the shoulder and said, “I should go and check on Tyler. It’s gettingte, so you


    should get some sleep.”


    With that, Aurora left the room, and Vicky remained frozen in ce.
