Chapter 1017
Vicky's blood ran cold when she heard Aurora's voice.
She was so close to Tyler that she could hear every word Aurora said even if the call was not answered on speaker
mode.
Tyler planted gentle kisses on Vicky while responding in a hoarse voice, "You carry on. I'll come to look for you
later."
Since he promised to return, Aurora seemed reassured." Since you have urgent matters to take care of, I'll let you
get back to it. We have plenty of time. Just give me a call when you are done."
A few moments later, Tyler said casually, "Sure."
Aurora noticed something odd with his voice and asked," Tyler, what's wrong with your voice? Are you ill?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Yeah."
Aurora advised, seemingly reluctant to end the call, and continued to give him instructions, "Make sure to drink
plenty of water if you catch a cold. The temperature difference between day and night has been significant lately,
so make sure to keep yourself warm. Also, try not to overwork yourself. Exhaustion weakens the body's resistance
and makes it prone to illness." However, there was no response from Tyler's end.
Aurora seemed accustomed to Tyler's silence and did not notice anything unusual.
On the other end of the call, Vicky looked at Tyler with eyes full of fear, shaking her head repeatedly. However, Tyler
paid no attention to her refusal and continued to act as he pleased.
Vicky knew he was waiting for her to beg him.
Vicky truly wanted to shout through the phone and ask Aurora to come and see what Tyler was truly like, but the
recent events had left her feeling ashamed and utterly humiliated.
She loathed Tyler and herself for what happened.
Seeing that Vicky still refused to yield, Tyler let out a cold smile and lowered his head.
Aurora, on the other end of the line, grew concerned when he remained silent despite her caring words. "Tyler, are
you listening?" Aurora asked curiously after a long pause.
"Mhm," Tyler hummed.
"Tyler, are you busy right now?"
This time, Tyler did not answer. Instead, Aurora heard a soft and faint exhale on the other end of the phone.
"What are you doing, Tyler?"
Suddenly, the call was abruptly disconnected, but Aurora didn't attempt to call again.
When Vicky emerged from her room, it was already afternoon.
Aurora came out of the neighboring room at the same time, having apparently tried several wedding dresses and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmade frequent discussions for improvements with the staff.
Upon seeing Vicky, Aurora stopped in her tracks. " Have you finished trying on dresses too?"
Vicky was wearing sunglasses and a mask, so Aurora could not discern the expression on her face.
"Yes," Vicky replied softly, preparing to leave.
Aurora approached her, puzzled. "The staff mentioned that they knocked on your door, but you didn't respond,
Vicky... are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Vicky answered.
Lowering her voice, Aurora asked, "Did you have a fight with your fiance?"
"What?!" Vicky exclaimed.
"I heard from the staff that your fiance left in a hurry... Are you angry at him because of that?"
It was natural for any woman to be upset if the groom abandoned her alone in the bridal shop while she was trying
on wedding dresses.
Before Vicky could reply, Aurora sighed. "Alas, these men. They control such large companies and have busy work
lives. It's normal for them to leave us behind from time to time, and we should be understanding of their situation.
Tyler left too."
