Chapter 47
Sebastian furrowed his brows and gave it some thought before speaking, “Mother.”
Missus Mills gave him a reproachful look. “Vicky’s mother and I were best friends when we were young. I also saw Vicky growing up since she was a baby. Even though we did not have the chance to make Vicky my daughter–in–law, I still see her like she is my daughter. Do you think I will do anything to harm her?”
There was nothing wrong with the first part of the things Missus Mills said. It was the later part…that sounded a little off.
If Tyler were not there, it would be fine for Missus Mills to say those things. Since Tyler was here, it did not seem appropriate for her to say those things. Like she was implying something and even more trying to sow discord.
After saying those, Missus Mills looked at Tyler again. “Mr. Hart, would you mind if I borrow Vicky away from you to catch up?”
As usual, Tyler looked calm and remote, without any expression. No one could tell what he was actually thinking. “Do whatever you like,” he said before leaving.
Missus Mills looked at Vicky gently. “Vicky, shall we talk?”
“Mother…” Sebastian still felt the need to stop his mother.
On the other hand, Vicky answered the question and stopped Sebastian from talking further. “Sure.”
Missus Mills gave Sebastian a warning look before walking away with Vicky as they held hands together.
In the lounge, Missus Mills started talking while she made tea. “It looks like the relationship between you and Tyler is getting better. You two actually attended this party together today.”
The way she brewed the tea looked so elegant and clean. There was a feeling that no one knew how to describe.
Everyone knew Vicky and Tyler were not exactly having a happily ever after type of marriage. Even when they had to attend the same event, they never arrived together.
The fragrance of the hot tea emitted into the air.
Vicky sat on the chair and said, “You should be happy that my relationship with Tyler is getting better. Who knows, maybe your son might feel hopeful of rekindling back with me if I have a divorce… I bet that’s the last thing you’ll like to see.”
It was impossible for Vicky to tell the irony in her words. She just smiled.
