Loving You In Secret (Vicky and Tyler) novel Chapter 488

Realizing that it would be challenging to resolve the situation with Tyler as a witness, Missus Campfields' face twitched in fear but ordered the servant to bring Issac down the stairs regardless.

Issac was still aching from Tyler's kick the night before and lost all strength when he saw Tyler. "Mister Hart, I was foolish for offending Miss Shaw. Seeing that this is my first offense, please spare me..."

Missus Campfields' expression darkened.

...

After all the paperwork was in place, it was almost noon. As they walked out of the police station, Selene said, "Thank you for your help today, Mister Hart. Let's have lunch together."

Gloria scowled. "Selene..."

Selene lifted an eyebrow. "Gloria, Mister Hart came all the way to help you. It's noon, and you know it's common courtesy to treat him to lunch at the very least." She shot Gloria a disapproving look. "You can't possibly be so stingy that you won't buy food for a man who's helping you out."

Gloria knew that she would sound pretentious if she disagreed, so she turned to Tyler and asked, "Tyler, would you like to have lunch together?"

Tyler glanced at his phone and noticed that he had not received any call or text.

He had purposefully moved the wheelchair and crutch away from the room, yet Vicky had not even texted him.

She appeared to be scared of him, but her pride remained intact.

When they were about to be done with their food, Selene said, "Mister Hart, Gloria's birthday will be in a few days. It's been years since she returned to Zendonia, so I want to organize a birthday party for her. You've known her for some time, so...you're definitely going to come, right?"

Tyler glanced at Gloria, who was looking at him hopefully.

After a few moments of silence, he nodded. Gloria's eyes lit up.

Tyler left after lunch. Gloria stood outside the restaurant and stared at him until he faded from view.

"Gloria, you lost the chance to be with Tyler four years ago because you weren't proactive enough. Why are you the same way four years later, now?"
