Tyler stared at Vicky with his dark eyes.
Vicky’s heart raced, and she instinctively looked away.
He grabbed her wrist and pulled the door by the passenger's seat open. "Get in," he said before shoving her inside.
"..." Vicky knew better than to act hysterically in public, so she did not struggle.
Tyler drove to a certain restaurant. Once they entered a private room, the waiter brought them the menu.
Vicky flipped through the pages and realized it had been a long time since she had a meal with Tyler alone ever since Gloria returned.
The thought depleted her appetite, so she ordered a salad and handed the menu back. "That'll be all," she said.
Tyler, who was reading the menu, looked up. "That's it?"
"Yeah."
"Are you a cat or something?" He paused and corrected himself, "Even a cat eats more than you do."
"..."
Vicky was so frustrated by Tyler that she could barely eat, but she did not want to waste time explaining herself to Tyler. "I'm on a diet. I don't want to eat too much."
He glanced at her and mocked, "A flat-chested woman like you are going on a diet? Do you aspire to become a skeleton?"
Her breath caught in her chest as his words reminded her of the memories she recently recovered.
He used to mock her in a similar tone, saying that he was interested in her; it was shortly after that that he got drunk and attacked her.
"If my figure bothers you so much, don't go to sleep every night with a skeleton in your arms, then," she said coldly.
