    Chapter 1372


    Tyler looked at Harvey coldly. “I trust Vicky; I just don’t trust the people around her. She’s just too


    trusting for her good, so it falls to me to protect her from people with impure thoughts.”


    Harvey’s smile never faltered. “I’m curious, Mister Hart. Just what kind of impure thoughts are you


    talking about?”


    “For example, feelings that one keeps deep inside his heart because he knew confessing them would


    bring trouble?” said Tyler while looking straight into his eyes.


    Harvey’s eyes widened with shock.


    Sensing the tension in the air, Vicky hurriedly said, “Hey, aren’t we going for lunch? You say you want


    to go check out the new restaurant, right?”

    Tyler nced at Vicky’s panicked expression and smiled.” Why don’t you join us, Mister Sparks? It’s


    not every day I get to bump into you.”


    His invitation was so unexpected that it surprised both Vicky and Harvey. Vicky looked at Harvey,


    praying he would turn down the invitation.


    “Don’t mind if I do. After all, it’s not every day I get a lunch invitation from you, Mister Hart. And what


    perfect timing too because I’m starving, considering I didn’t have any breakfast, ” Harvey answered


    with a smile.


    Vicky was speechless. ‘Looks like Harvey didn’t learn his lesson at all. Has he forgotten how Tyler


    injured his arm?’


    Half an hourter, the three of them arrived at the restaurant. The two men immediately attracted a lot


    of attention, given how handsome and tall they both were.


    “Oh my god! Those two guys are smokin’ hot!”


    “Eep! That cool-looking guy is just my type!”


    “The other guy has a bad-boy vibe, which is totally my type!”


    “Well, there’s no use fawning over him. Can’t you see he has a girlfriend? And she’s quite pretty, too!


    They look like a match made in heaven standing there together.”


    Someone finally noticed Vicky.


    “Nah, I think she’s the cool guy’s girlfriend. They look more suitable for each other.”


    “No, she looks more suitable for the other guy. I’m pretty sure she’s his girlfriend since the cool guy


    looks like he’s quite difficult to get along with. He can’t possibly have a girlfriend.”


    “Fine, let’s make a bet and see whose girlfriend she really is.”


    “You’re on! I bet on the bad boy with the devil-may-care smile.”


    “I bet on the cool guy!”


    Gossip spread across the tables like wildfire. That was until they saw Tyler hold Vicky’s hand and put


    his arm around her waist to demonstrate whose woman she was.


    The people who bet on Harvey immediately became disappointed.


    “So she’s really the cool guy’s girlfriend… What a pity.”


    “Why is it a pity? Didn’t you see how his eyes softened when he looked at her? His eyes never left her


    from the moment they stepped into the restaurant. It’s like everyone else doesn’t exist for him.”


    “But the same can be said for the other guy… Just look at the way he’s looking at her with so much


    love in his eyes.”


    The three of them sat under the watchful gaze of all the other diners.


    Vicky and Tyler sat together while Harvey sat across from Tyler. After looking through the menu, Vicky


    ordered two dishes.


    Harvey, however, did not order anything even after leafing through the menu.


    “Is the food here not to your liking, Mister Sparks?” Tyler asked before Vicky could say anything.


    “I’ve been out of the country for so long that I don’t know what’s good in the restaurants here,” replied


    Harvey. He then turned to Vicky and smiled cheekily. “Why don’t you rmend a few dishes to me,


    Vicky? You know best what I like to eat.”


    A dangerous glint shed across Tyler’s eyes, though he looked outwardly unperturbed.
