Chapter 327
Tyler’s eyes met Vicky's and asked, "What's wrong? Do you not like the food?"
His voice was gentle, and she rarely heard him speak in such a tone.
Feeling a lump in her throat, she looked away. "Nothing is wrong."
"Eat up, then.’
"Right.’
After dinner, they returned home.
Though the scenery along the way had not changed, Vicky could not help but feel out of place.
It was late by the time they arrived, and Nanny Paterson was already asleep.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe stopped as she stared at the mansion in darkness, feeling like a beast was lurking inside the
darkness, waiting to devour her whole.
"What's wrong?" Tyler turned to look at her when he noticed that she stood outside the door
unmovingly.
She snapped out of it and said,"... I'm fine."
The look in his eyes darkened, and he turned on the lights inside the house, which expelled the
darkness. Vicky’s heart felt slightly more at ease.
She walked into the house, and everything inside the mansion was as Vicky remembered them.
She spent more time in the mansion than Tyler himself, but the darkness lurking in the corner left a
permanent mark inside of her.
Once they returned to the room, Tyler walked over to the bathroom. "I'll draw you a bath. Relax for a bit
in the bathtub."
Vicky's heart fluttered. "Sure."
The bath was soon drawn, and she walked into the bathroom full of steam.
She suddenly remembered what Tyler said to her about how things would not disappear simply
because she did not remember them.
She soaked in the lukewarm water, but all she could think of was the week she spent in Forever Night.
Knock, knock!
Sometime later, she heard knocks on the door.
"Are you not done yet?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe bathroom had a function to maintain the temperature of the water, and since the water had not
gone cold, Vicky sank into her thoughts and lost track of time.
She glanced at the clock on the wall and realized that she had been in the bath for forty minutes.
'It's no wonder he came knocking,' she thought.
"I'm done. I'll be out soon."
"Okay." His towering figure was seen faintly through the frosted glass door.
"Holler if you need me."
"Sure..."
Tyler left once he heard her response.
Tyler sat on the couch and checked the time for the third time.
It had been an hour, yet Vicky had not come out of the bathroom.
He frowned and got up to check on her again when the door finally opened.
