About half an hour later, Vanessa finally finished cooking.
"Co eat. See if you like my cooking!"
Vanessa stood at the dining table and said to Connor with a nervous expression.
When Connor heard this, he walked straight to the dining table and looked at the dishes on the table very seriously. He smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to really know how to cook. I've underestimated you!"
Although Connor still didn't know how the dishes Vanessa made tasted, it looked pretty good.
"Who are you looking down on? My culinary skills are very good. Hurry up and taste the food!"
Vanessa pouted and said to Connor.
Connor picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. Then, he tasted it carefully and said to Vanessa, "It's delicious!"
"Really?"
When Vanessa heard Connor say that she seed a little excited.
"Of course, it's true!"
Connor lightly nodded.
"That's great! I was worried that you wouldn't like it. Sit down and eat!"
Vanessa said happily.
"Okay!"
Connor sat opposite Vanessa and was about to start eating.
However, just as Vanessa was about to sit down, a knock sounded on the door.
"It might be package delivery. I'll go take a look!"
Vanessa explained to Connor, and then she walked to the door in her high heels.
Vanessa cautiously looked outside through the peephole, but when she saw the person outside, she was instantly stunned, and the smile on her face disappeared.
"Vanessa, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Vanessa didn't open the door, he asked softly.
"It's nothing…"
Vanessa replied expressionlessly. Although the knocking did not stop, she had no intention of opening the door and returned to the dining area.
"Vanessa, aren't you going to open the door?"
Connor asked softly.
"No. He's just an annoying person. There's no need to waste ti with him. Let's eat. He'll leave on his own in a while…"
Vanessa explained lightly and then sat down to eat.
Connor knew that sothing was wrong with Vanessa, but he didn't say anything and just ate quietly.
After knocking for a while, the person outside stopped knocking. Instead, he shouted at the top of his voice, "Vanessa, I know you're at ho. Open the door. I have sothing to tell you…"
When Vanessa heard this sentence, her frown deepened, but she still did not move.
Connor knew that since the other party knew Vanessa by na, it ant that this person knew Vanessa.
"Vanessa, who is that?"
Connor asked in confusion.
"My ex-boyfriend…"
Vanessa replied after a mont of hesitation.
"Your ex-boyfriend?"
Connor was stunned when he heard Vanessa's words. He was very surprised.
Although Connor and Vanessa had known each other for a long ti, he had never heard her talk about her an ex-boyfriend.
"His na is Tyler Freeman. When I first ca to Newtown, I t him. Then, he started to pursue . At first, I didn't like him very much. However, he pursued for two years, and we got together…"
Vanessa paused for a mont before continuing, "After Tyler got together with , he tried all kinds of ways to sleep with , but I rejected all of his advances…"
"Did the two of you break up because of this?"
Connor was stunned for a mont before asking.
"Actually, it wasn't because of that. Tyler t the daughter of a provincial big shot at a gathering. At that ti, he said that he didn't have a girlfriend, so he got together with this girl. Then, Tyler told that if I still didn't agree to live with him, he would break up with . I was conflicted for a long ti. In the end, I chose to break up with him because I felt that he did not really like for who I was. He just wanted my body!"
Vanessa took a deep breath and continued, "Later on, I found out that Tyler had actually been living with another woman before he broke up with . That woman wasn't pretty, but he only got together with her because of his relationship with her father…"
"Then, why is he here looking for you now?"
Connor asked in confusion.
When Vanessa heard Connor's words, she couldn't help but sneer, and then lightly said, "I heard that Tyler and that woman got married. With the help of that woman's father, Tyler's business grew bigger and bigger, with a market value of more than 100 million. However, soone filed a report against Tyler's father-in-law. In the end, he was imprisoned for corruption, but Tyler himself was not affected at all. Later, I investigated and found out that it was Tyler who reported his father-in-law!"
"Reporting his own father-in-law? This guy is really ruthless! Why did he do that?"
Connor asked in confusion.
"Because his father-in-law had always been controlling him. He doesn't want to be controlled by his father-in-law for the rest of his life, so he burned the bridge after crossing it. After that, he divorced that woman. I heard that she didn't get a single cent from Tyler."
Vanessa said slowly.
"What a scumbag!"
Connor replied helplessly.
"So ti ago, at my friend's birthday party, Tyler saw . He knew that I was the general manager of Heavens Club, so he was hoping that I could help him contact so people, but I rejected him. Then, he started pestering every day, wanting to get back together with !"
Vanessa continued.
"I've never seen such a shaless man ever!"
Connor said speechlessly.
"Vanessa, open the door!"
At this mont, Tyler shouted at the top of his voice.
After hesitating for a mont, Connor said softly, "Vanessa, go and open the door for him. Since I'm here today, we can talk it out. Otherwise, it won't be good if he continues to make a fuss…"
When Vanessa heard Connor's words, she slowly raised her head to look at him. If he wasn't here, she definitely wouldn't open the door. After all, she didn't know what Tyler would do.
But now Connor was here, so Vanessa was a lot braver.
