Selene was the one who proposed to organize a celebration, but when Gloria arrived at the restaurant,she found herself alone with Tyler.

“What’s your plan from now on?’ Tyler changed the subject.

“I was born and raised here, so I intend on staying.”

He hummed in response and did not say anything else.

Gloria lowered her gaze and rubbed her finger against the bracelet on her wrist. Finally, she summonedthe courage and asked, ’Tyler, I’ll be performing this weekend. Would… Would you like to come?”

After a few moments of silence, he said, ’I’m sorry, but I’m going to a resort with Vicky this weekend.”

She froze, and the hope in her eyes vanished. “It’s okay. You should go ahead with that, then.”

Silence returned to the car, and Gloria took the initiative to speak after some time. “Tyler, are Vicky’slegs injured?’

His hands on the steering wheel stiffened for a moment. ’Yeah.”

Sensing that he did not wish to talk about it, she did not press on the subject.

10 minutes later, Tyler suddenly stopped the car.

Since there was still a distance from Gloria’s apartment, she asked, “Tyler?”

“Wait here. I’ll be back right away.”

Gloria was confused but nodded regardless.

Tyler opened the car door and entered a bakery before exiting with a box a few minutes later.

Gloria stared at the box and asked, “Why are you buying this, Tyler?”

Gloria had always been dedicated to maintaining her figure, so she never ate anything sweet,especially at night.

“It’s for Vicky. She doesn’t have much of an appetite lately,” Tyler said.

Gloria’s breath caught in her throat.

She did not enjoy desserts, but Vicky did. Even before the Shaws fell, Vicky would often buy desserts,and she did not bother to limit her food intake since she never seemed to gain weight no matter whatshe ate.

Gloria stared at the box and smiled. “You’re very…caring toward Vicky.”

He set the box down in the backseat and again started the car.

Soon, the car arrived at the entrance of the apartment building where Gloria lived.

She got out of the car and smiled at Tyler. “Thank you for sending me home, Tyler.”

He nodded. “I’ll head back now.’

“Alright.”

She did not invite him up because it was late, and it would be inappropriate for them to be in a roomalone. At the end of the day, Gloria was never a woman who would do anything out of line.

After bidding their farewell, Tyler drove back to the hospital and arrived at ten, only to replace Vicky asleepon the bed.

He walked over and set the dessert on the table. He studied her face and realized that she was trulyasleep.

Tyler did not mean to wake her, but as he looked at her face, he swallowed hard and could not help butkiss her.
