Chapter 345

In the past month, Vicky and Tyler shared the same bed, but Tyler had not made any advance on her.

It was not that he no longer desired her, but Vicky had been severely traumatized since she returnedfrom Forever Night.

She would either lose sleep or suffer from nightmares, and though she was making progress withtherapy, she would still back away from Tyler’s touch.

Tyler knew that she was struggling to overcome her demons and did not push her.

It was their fourth anniversary, and though she forgot about it, Tyler remembered and went to thelengths of planning a surprise for her.

She had arrived late and upset Tyler, so she felt that intimacy might be the way she could compensatehim, especially since she was recovering with the help of her therapist.

Intimacy was inevitably the tie that kept a marriage together, so she did not back away and wrappedher arms around his neck.

Tyler deepened the kiss when suddenly, the ringing of a phone interrupted them.

Ring!

Vicky pushed Tyler away and said, “My phone…”

Tyler was displeased but did not insist on continuing.

Vicky answered the call. “Cece?”

“Vicky…” Cece’s panicked voice came from the speaker. “Anthony is here, and he’s trying to takeJennifer away by force. I can’t stop him, and Jennifer doesn’t want to leave with him…”

Vicky frowned. “Cece, try to stall him. I’ll come over right now.”

Vicky ended the call and stood to leave, only to recall what happened earlier when she noticed the darkgaze upon her.

“Anthony is trying to take Jennifer away against her will, and Cece can’t stop him, so-‘

“And you can?’ Tyler asked coldly.

“…” She realized that she could not, but Tyler was capable of doing so. She thus looked at him andasked, “Can you help Jennifer out and keep her from being taken by Anthony?”

He narrowed his eyes with an unreadable look on his face. “You haven’t even known Jennifer for thatlong. Why do you care so much?”

She was stunned by this questioning but answered regardless, “Jennifer is Cece’s friend, and Cecehas helped me so many times before. Helping Jennifer is the same thing as helping Cece.’

“That’s all?

Vicky thought about it and said, “I guess Jennifer and I just clicked. She is my employee now. Cece andI are the only ones she knows in Stoneford City, so I cant just leave her, both as a friend and as aboss.”

“Are you not scared of going out during the night anymore?”

Vicky glanced at the darkness that loomed over the streets outside and hesitated but pushed past herfear right away. “I’ll eventually have to overcome it.’ She turned to Tyler. “Don’t you want me to

overcome the trauma as well?”

Tyler simply stared at her in silence.

She walked over to kiss him, but he turned away from it.

She studied his expression and whispered, “Are you upset?’

“Aren’t you just trying to fawn over me so that I’d help your friend?” he said expressionlessly.

She wanted to argue but decided against it.

Considering Anthony’s status and power, she would not be able to stop him without Tyler’s help.

The disdain in his eyes thickened when she did not deny it.

Vicky wanted to say something to cheer him up, but Cece called once again.
