Chapter 772

Vicki pressed her lips together and turned to gaze out at the beautiful night lights outside the window.

Eddie lifted his eyes, catching her reflection in the rearview mirror.

He wanted nothing more than to slide into the backseat with her, but he forced himself to give Vicki some space.

‘Don’t scare her off,’ he reminded himself.

It had been more than two years since he first met Vicki at Camilla’s wedding.

Over those two years, Eddie had repeatedly told himself to give up. He just wasn’t good enough for her,

Yet even after half a year or more without seeing her, the moment he laid eyes on Vicki, his long–silent heart would start pounding wildly all over again.

It felt like the old Eddie had already died.

The man who lived now was someone who belonged to Vicki, and only to her.

His feelings for her ran so deep that he found himself treading on eggshells, terrified of making even the smallest mistake.

The whole ride passed in silence, until the taxi finally stopped in front of Eddie’s villa.

Eddie got out first and politely opened the car door for Vicki.

“Thank you,” Vicki said with a nod.

Eddie pressed his thumb to the fingerprint scanner, and the villa’s front door clicked open. “Please,” he said, gesturing for her to go in first.

Vicki glanced over at her own villa; it was brightly lit.

But she didn’t hear any sound coming from inside.

Baron always liked it quiet. Even if he was home, she could barely hear a thing in the house.

“What’s wrong?” Eddie asked, following her gaze.

Vicki bit her lip. “I’m not sure if Baron’s home yet.”

A bad feeling crept over Eddie, but he kept his voice steady. “Maybe you should call him.”

Vicki hesitated for a moment before pulling out her phone and dialing Baron’s number.

It took a while before Baron finally picked up.

“Hey, Baron…” Vicki said softly.

“Busy,” Baron said curtly, and then the line went dead.

Vicki fell silent.

The screen of her phone darkened.

Chapter 772

“Your brother…” Eddie started, but Vicki cut him off.

“He’s probably not back yet. Eddie, I’m hungry. Let’s make some pasta,” she said, looking up at him with a bright smile.

Eddie finally let out a quiet sigh of relief.

Then, they walked into the villa together.

It was pitch dark and chilly inside.

Eddie switched on the lights and turned on the heat.

He took off his coat, revealing a camel–colored sweater underneath. Rolling up his sleeves, he said, “Just have a seat, Vicki. The pasta will be ready in no time.”

The sweater hugged his tall, broad frame perfectly, showing off his good looks in a way that made it hard to look away.

Vicki quickly looked down.

She slipped off her coat and got up. “Let me give you a hand.”

“Sure,” Eddie replied with a smile.

Making pasta was simple. They both knew how to cook.

Eddie grabbed a pot, poured in some water, and turned on the stove.

Then he took some herbs and vegetables to use as a side dish.

“I’ll wash them,” Vicki said, taking the vegetables from his hands.

Eddie let her handle it and gently reminded her, “The hot water’s on the right.”

He then started preparing the sauce.

When he finished and turned around, his eyes met Vicki’s. She/happened to look at him as well.

Vicki was still holding the vegetables, but she hadn’t washed them yet.

“Let me do it,” Eddie said.

Suddenly, Vicki.said, “Eddie, you look really handsome when you’re serious.”
