Loving You In Secret

Chapter 705

Chapter 705

Vicky did not resist Tyler at first, but at this moment, she did not feel appalled at all apart from the fear she felt from earlier.

…

The next day, Vicky woke up with dark eye bags. novelbin

She had woken up half an hour late as she would often wake up early to prepare breakfast for Tyler. However, after what happened the night before, she did not know how to face him.

His handsome looks and cold demeanor had eaten away her guard. He did not seem interested in women and would often be extremely distant, so Vicky forgot that he was still an adult man and that it was dangerous for her to be alone with a man under the same roof.

What happened the night before was the perfect example of it.

She went to wash up and thought that Tyler must have already left at this time, only to find Tyler sitting elegantly on the couch in the living room.

There was not a single wrinkle on his shirt, and his black trousers outlined his long legs.

He seemed to have returned to normalcy without a trace of his discomfited state the night before, nor was there any guilt or embarrassment on his face.

She came to a sudden halt when she saw Tyler.

Tyler spotted her as well, but instead of choosing to run away like Vicky, he said, “Let’s talk.”

Vicky stood still for a while before dragging her feet over to him and sat on a spot that was furthest from Tyler as though afraid he might pounce on her.

Vicky knew her action had no meaning and that she would be powerless if Tyler truly wanted to force himself on her.

Silence fell over the room, and Tyler took the initiative to start. “Last night… I’m sorry. I was drunk.”

Men would often blame their actions on alcohol as though anything could be excused if they were intoxicated.

After a long silence, Vicky intended to respond when Tyler added, “I can…take responsibility for what I did.”

‘Take responsibility?’ Vicky thought as she gaped at him, wondering what prompted him to say something so ridiculous.

Though they had come close to sleeping together, they did not do anything in the end, and she could not bring herself to imagine what it would be like to date Tyler.

The thought alone felt extremely odd.

“It’s fine!” she blurted out sharply.

He lifted an eyebrow and looked at her. “Are you sure?”

“Yes, I’m sure.” She nodded. Worried that Tyler might not remember exactly what happened the night before, she added, “Nothing…happened between us last night, so…you don’t have to take responsibility for anything.”

He scowled. “Nothing happened?”

“Yes. We didn’t go all the way last night…”

“But I recall kissing you.”

“You did kiss me, but you don’t have to take responsibility for that.”

Even if they had spent the night together, no one would expect any consequence as long as the act was consensual.

‘Taking responsibility over a kiss… What year does he think we’re in?’ she thought.

Though Vicky was an innocent woman, she knew that asking a man to date or even marry her over a kiss seemed absurd.
