Tyler glanced at Vicky’s chest and replied, “It means that I’m not interested in flat-chested women.”
‘Flat-chested?! Is he actually saying that I’m flat-chested?! That’s about the worst insult one can say about a woman!’ Vicky’s cheek flushed with anger as she argued, “I have a standard figure! I’m not flat- chested!”
“Do you have some sort of misunderstanding about the definition of the word ‘standard’?”
“…” Vicky clenched her fists at the humiliation.
“Do you want to sit here or return to the bedroom?” he drawled.
Knowing she would die from rage alone if she stayed in the living room, she said without hesitation, “I want to go back to the bedroom.”
Tyler nodded and picked her up.
The fury she felt was instantly replaced by nervousness when he lifted her up. She had never been so close to a man before, and she could not help the pounding of her heart.
It was a feeling entirely foreign to her.
She had friends of the opposite sex like Sebastian and Alex, but how she felt around them was completely different from how she felt with Tyler.
Tyler carried her into the bedroom and said, “I need to head outside. It won’t be long. Call me if you need anything.”
“… Okay.”
Tyler headed out, and Vicky did not know where he was headed nor did she ask about it.
After he was gone, Vicky sent a text message to Mister George to ask for updates.
Mister George replied right away. [The academy is following up with Jonathan’s family. We have reached an impasse at the moment, and this might take more time.]
[I understand. Thank you.] novelbin
[You are a student of the academy, and it’s our duty to protect our students. Besides, you are too talented to give up on the piano. We all see what kind of person Jonathan is, and he has been targeting students in the academy for long enough. It’s time we teach him a lesson.]
As soon as Vicky finished reading the message, she received another one from Mister George. [Jonathan is giving us a lot of trouble, and my guess is that he is stalling on purpose in the hope of finding you. Regardless, he won’t be able to drag this on for more than a week. You must hide yourself well within the following week. Make sure he doesn’t find you.]
Vicky’s expression darkened. [I will be careful. Thank you, sir.]
Mister George did not respond after that.
Two hours later, Tyler returned with two enormous bags. He set one of them in the kitchen and headed into Vicky’s room with the other.
Vicky stared at the bag and asked, “What is this?”
“Living necessities and changes of clothes.”
Touched by his thoughtfulness, she said, “Thank you.”
Tyler then set a crutch by the bed. “Don’t get out of bed if you don’t need to. If you absolutely have to, use this.”
Vicky was surprised by how thoughtful he was. “Okay.”
With that, Tyler left the room, and Vicky soon drifted off to sleep in the bed.
It was not until she caught the captivating scent of food in the air that her stomach started rumbling, and she opened her eyes. She had not eaten much for breakfast and was starving at this point.
