Old Mister Hart stared at Tyler and said, “Ms. Shaw, Tyler’s parents will be here in Stoneford City soon, so be prepared. They aren’t as easy-going as I am.”
Vicky scowled at the mention of Tyler’s biological parents. “If they didn’t want me to marry Tyler, why didn’t they stop him back then and come here now instead?”
Old Mister Hart narrowed his eyes. “They had been occupied trying to cure Lincoln, so they didn’t have time to come here. Now that Lincoln is cured, they finally have time to check on Tyler.”
“Cure him?” Vicky asked. “What’s wrong with him?”
Before Old Mister Hart could respond, Tyler had already arrived before them.
Tyler ignored Old Mister Hart completely and scanned Vicky up and down sternly, relaxing when he noticed that she was unharmed.
He then turned to face Old Mister Hart. “Old Mister Hart, is there a reason for you to abduct Vicky and bring her here?”
He was not rude but was hardly respectful. His tone was distant as though he was not talking to his grandfather but a complete stranger instead.
Judging from the way he addressed Old Mister Hart, one could tell that he did not see Old Mister Hart as family.
Old Mister Hart sighed. “Tyler, I’m still your grandfather. What would others think if they heard you calling me Old Mister Hart?”
“Is there something else you need? If not, I’m taking Vicky home with me,” Tyler said coldly.
“Vicky is your wife. Isn’t it normal for your grandfather to meet with his granddaughter-in-law?”
‘Granddaughter-in-law, huh?’ Vicky thought. ‘He sure makes it sound great when he’s been addressing me ‘Ms. Shaw’ the entire time. I hardly think he thinks of me as his granddaughter-in-law.’
Old Mister Hart might seem kind and approachable but was pretentious in nature and was skilled in getting others to let their guards down.
“Tyler, regardless of what happened, Vicky has married you and is a part of our family. Your parents are furious that you got married without letting them know. I was told that they’ll be here in Stoneford City latest by tomorrow.” Old Mister Hart sighed. “Vicky has been married to you for years, so it’s about time for you to tell her about your background… She wouldn’t even know what she’s dealing with once your parents arrive.”
Sometimes, words could cut as sharply as knives, just like the ones Old Mister Hart was saying.
It seemed reasonable to assume that Tyler did not truly take Vicky as his wife, or he would not have kept the truth of his birth from her.
Vicky could tell that Old Mister Hart was trying to divide her and Tyler but felt depressed regardless as he was merely telling the truth.
Tyler’s expression darkened. “Tomorrow?”
“Yes. I heard that they are bringing Aria Everly here with them as well.” Old Mister Hart shot Vicky a pointed look. “Aria was once your fiance, after all…”
Before he could finish, Tyler interrupted him and said, “The engagement was arranged by the Harts, not me. I’ve never agreed to it.”
“Without Aria and her family, you would’ve died from poison five years ago. Do you have any idea how precious the antidote they provided you was? It can’t even be bought with money. The Everlys saved your life,” Old Mister Hart said sternly.
