Chapter 1308

Author: Debbie Meza
After raising her arm and stopping herself several times, Vicky returned to her room.

...

The next day, Vicky came downstairs for breakfast as usual.

After finishing her meal, she picked up her bag to leave. However, while changing her shoes, she noticed a pair of neatly arranged black leather shoes at the entrance and realized that Tyler might still be in the mansion.

She turned to the maid who was cleaning the living room and asked, "Has Tyler left?"

The maid usually met Tyler when she came over to prepare breakfast, but he was nowhere to be seen that day. "I haven't seen Mister Hart today. He should still be here," she said truthfully.

Recently, Tyler had been leaving early to avoid Vicky. Thus, she was curious as to why he had not left.

'Is he so hungover that he can't get up?' she thought bitterly.

She ordered herself not to dwell on it and went to the studio to start work.

...

At noon, Vicky, Cece, and Jennifer went to the restaurant together for lunch. As they ate, the

    "It's just a scam call," replied Vicky.The three of them continued their meal.Suddenly, Cece's phone rang. She took it out and looked at the caller ID with surprise. "Harry? Why is he calling me?"As she spoke, Cece answered the call."Miss Lynn?" Harry asked anxiously, "Is Missus Hart with you?""Vicky?" Cece was puzzled. "Yes, she's here. Is something wrong?""Can you put me through to Missus Hart?"Though perplexed, Cece handed the phone to Vicky. "Vicky, it's Harry."Hearing Harry's name, Vicky's heart sank slightly. Harry was not the type to persistently call someone, so the fact that he was desperate enough to call Cece after Vicky turned her phone off was worrying."Missus Hart, is Mister Hart at home?" Harry asked.Vicky narrowed her eyes and asked, "Hasn't he gone to the company yet?""No, he hasn't," Harry spoke rapidly. "There's an important signing event today, and Mister Hart instructed me yesterday to go to the venue directly to prepare. However, it's already

    Tyler narrowed his eyes and stared intently at Vicky. "What?"Vicky studied his face and said, "Isn't this what you wanted?"Vicky was no fool and knew well enough to conclude what Tyler had been trying to do; he was torturing himself so that she would eventually concede defeat.Aurora was right. Vicky could never be heartless toward Tyler, which was likely the reason why he felt so confident.Vicky spoke frankly, "You slept in a room with the window open all night to force me into deciding, right? You've won now. Aren't you happy?"Tyler gazed at her but remained silent.After a few seconds, Vicky stood up. "I'll call the doctor."As she left, Tyler watched her with a mysterious glint in the depth of his eyes....A week later, Tyler finally recovered and was discharged from the hospital.On the day of his discharge, the doctor looked at Vicky hesitantly. "Missus Hart, even though Mister Hart has good physical qualities, he can't withstand such abuse. His injuries have heale

    The look in Tyler's eyes darkened.Before he could say anything, Vicky added, "I'm not upset because I regret anything, but because..." She stared into his eyes. "Tyler, if you truly care about me, you shouldn't have used your health to threaten me." She pushed him away and stared out the window. "I don't want to spend the rest of my life with a sick man."Tyler stilled and grabbed her shoulders, his eyes lighting up. "What did you just say, Vicky?"His hold was so strong that Vicky could sense his fingers trembling, and her heart softened. After a few moments of silence, she said, "Let's start over, Tyler."Time seemed to freeze.Suddenly, Tyler embraced her tightly as if he wanted to embed her into his body, causing Vicky's bones to ache. He knew Vicky gave up on leaving when he regained consciousness from the fever, but not hearing it from her lips left him uneasy.Vicky did not push him away. Instead, she closed her eyes and leaned quietly against his chest.'Let it be,' she

    Seeing the odd look on Vicky's face, Tyler raised an eyebrow. "What's with that look? Did something happen?"Since they decided to be together, honesty was crucial between them, so Vicky confessed. "Aurora found a black cat at the hospital, as you know. On Cece's birthday, she invited Aurora and Noah to have dinner. After they became friends, Aurora realized that the black cat she found was Noah's, and they had a big fight over the cat. Noah accused Aurora of stealing it and demanded that she return it. Aurora thought Noah was a cruel person, and if Noah couldn't prove that the cat's injuries were not caused by him, she wouldn't return it. Noah called the police after that..."She had heard the follow-up from Cece and Jennifer after the incident. At that time, she was busy taking care of Tyler at the hospital and was not aware of the subsequent events.Vicky rubbed her temple and continued, "The police couldn't do anything because Aurora couldn't provide evidence of Noah's cruelty t

    "You... You saw everything?"Tyler shot her a look. "You mean how Noah tried to get closer to you using his cat?"Vicky was instantly at a loss for words.At one point, Noah indeed admitted that he wanted to pursue Vicky and brought his cat to campus as he thought that all girls loved animals. In the end, Noah was so tortured by Tyler that he gave up on Vicky and desperately wished to stay away from her.Whenever they would talk about the time when Noah had a conflict with Tyler, he would still appear helpless.Vicky cleared her throat. "That's all in the past; Noah lost any romantic feelings for me a long time ago. He was pursuing Jennifer a while ago."However, that pursuit did not last long because Anthony interfered.Tyler's methods were rough. He sent Noah to the hospital several times, injured and broken.Compared to Tyler, Anthony's approach could be called 'gentle'. He would not harm Noah physically but always inflicted some mental trauma, making Noah wish he were dead

    Vicky never had such thoughts and felt that Tyler was rather self-aware.Even if she refused to take anything of his, she would struggle to escape him. If she accepted anything from him, it would be impossible to leave him, especially when she was accepting the share of his company.She shot him a resigned look. "You know that's not what I mean.""Then sign it," he insisted."Tyler...""Once you sign these, those stubborn old men in the office will have no reason to stop you from coming to work with me."Vicky's gaze widened. "Is this to give me a legitimate reason to be at the company and shut them up?"Tyler's gaze shifted elsewhere. "No."Vicky looked at him questioningly.Whenever someone would give their spouse a house, a car, and shares with one's company, it was to make them feel secure. Tyler's reasons for doing so, on the other hand, were merely so that Vicky could keep going to work with him.Vicky felt utterly speechless by his unique way of thinking.Tyler looked

    After the waiter brought over an extra set of utensils, they started ordering.The tension in the air was evident ever since Tyler arrived. Even Noah and Aurora, who were upset with one another, stopped arguing.Vicky held the menu and turned to Tyler. "What do you feel like having?"He glanced at the menu and said, "I don't remember anything."Vicky and Tyler had been to this restaurant several times before, so she ordered a few dishes that Tyler used to like. As they ate, the others occasionally exchanged a few words, but most of the time, silence filled the air.Unlike Harvey, Tyler's aura was commanding, making everyone feel somewhat restrained. Unaware of their reaction, Tyler calmly served Vicky some dishes on her plate. "You said you were hungry just now. Have some more."This simple action attracted the others' attention. With the exception of Noah, few had seen how Vicky and Tyler interacted on a regular basis.Tyler was known for his cold demeanor, and rumors about the

    Harvey narrowed his eyes darkly and smiled. "I'm honored that you still care so much about me, even though you don't remember anything."Tyler remained composed and said, "You've helped Vicky so much that it's my duty to care about you." He lowered his gaze at Vicky. "Right, Vicky?"Vicky felt chills down her spine and swallowed. "Sure."Tyler's melodious voice carried a hint of curiosity. "Why didn't you mention that Mister Sparks will be here to me?"Vicky's forehead broke into a thin layer of cold sweat. She had not forgotten the incident when Tyler followed her to the coffee shop and confronted Harvey with a knife. Furthermore, she did not expect that Harvey would show up today.Avoiding his gaze, Vicky replied, "I... I didn't think..."Tyler's tone softened. "Harvey is your friend, so that means he's my friend too. If you had told me earlier, I could've prepared a gift to greet him."Given Tyler's history of dealing with Harvey, Vicky was not surprised that Tyler resorted t

    [Alright.]Aurora sighed in relief. "Vicky, we've been out for quite a while. Shall we head back?"Vicky glanced at Aurora. "Can we finally go back now?""Yes, we can go back... Huh?" Aurora sensed something was amiss. "Vicky, do you...know something?"Vicky smiled. "Every time I go out with friends, Tyler always bombards me with questions about when I'll be back and insists on picking me up. Strangely, he didn't ask me anything today. Also... I remember that it's my birthday today."Aurora was left speechless as she realized Vicky saw right through her act....By the time they got home, it was starting to get dark outside. Inside the mansion, it was quiet and pitch-black. Suddenly, a warm, yellow candlelight gradually illuminated the darkness, revealing a handsome face."Happy birthday, Vicky," Tyler said.Vicky gazed at the flickering candles, feeling a bit dazed.It was then she remembered that during the early days of their relationship, he had prepared a birthday surpri

    Tyler showed great disdain when his wish of getting a daughter was let down. What irritated him most was that this son looked remarkably like him.After recovering from childbirth, Vicky accompanied a newly pregnant Aurora on a shopping trip for baby supplies.Upon hearing Vicky's story, Aurora could not help but ask, "Men are usually happy when they have sons, so why does Tyler prefer daughters?"Vicky sighed. "Tyler says that a family is never really balanced and happy unless they have one son and one daughter."Aurora nodded thoughtfully. "Indeed. Now that you have a son, having a daughter would be perfect. Vicky, have you and Tyler considered responding to the national call and having a third child?"Vicky shook her head. "The last time I gave birth, Tyler wasn't around, so he doesn't know what it was like. This time, he was scared out of his wits and had no intention of having more children. A few days ago, he even underwent a vasectomy."Aurora chuckled. "Daughters may be s

    However, everything spiraled out of control.Tyler knew his behavior was despicable, but he could not control his emotions.When he loved, every cell within him longed for her. Every time he came to see her, he told himself it would be the last time. However, he found himself appearing at her house more and more frequently.Tyler knew he was in trouble, and it would not be long before he returned to his former self.Vicky was like a drug to him. Even though he knew that contact with her was toxic, he could not bring himself to let go.He knew she was pregnant with his child, and his most primal desires began to surge, making it impossible for him to resist the urge to make her stay.Vicky listened quietly to his confession, and her heart ached.She could not fight off the urge to hold him; her touch was firm and comforting.He only mentioned a few words about the time he regained consciousness, but Vicky knew he had endured a lot of pain. The fact that he was alive was a miracl

    Tyler's lips quivered as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he fell silent.What was there to say? It was not like he could apologize. The deed had been done, and his apology would not mean anything. Besides, he had no regrets whatsoever.Vicky stared at him. "You tampered with the surveillance, didn't you?""Yes.""And the servants and nannies. They're all under your control, right?"Tyler lowered his gaze. "Yes."Since all of this was real and not a dream, she must have been unconscious when Tyler returned. No matter how soundly she slept, she should have felt something. Since she had to take care of Lufian, she came home every day for meals, so she guessed that something was added to her food.For the past few days, she pretended to eat at home while secretly disposing of her meals. As it turned out, her suspicions were correct.Vicky repeated the question she asked before. "Why didn't you come to me?"Tyler remained silent once again."Did you come here just t

    "Are you planning to leave just like that?"The man's body tensed.Click! The desk lamp was turned on, its warm, amber light illuminating the darkness."Why won't you look at me? Are you brave enough to do it but not to admit it?" echoed Vicky's gentle voice.Tyler snapped out of it and instinctively pulled his hand away from hers, ready to escape, only for Vicky's next words to pin him in place."If you leave now, I'll get rid of the baby in me tomorrow."He swiftly froze in place and turned back to her. "What did you just say?"Even though she prepared herself mentally, seeing the shock on his face made Vicky's eyes widen in shock. In an instant, her eyes welled up with tears. "You..."As Tyler met the shock in her eyes, he came to a sudden realization and turned his face away, looking anywhere but at her.When she learned about her pregnancy and knew she had not been dreaming, Vicky had a hunch about who it was that came and went freely into her home. The only one capable o

    Vicky began to feel increasingly uneasy. She was pregnant without even knowing who the father was. That had to be one of the most absurd jokes in the world.Aurora, Noah, and the others were bewildered.They knew Vicky's character well, and she was not the type to casually sleep around. Besides, she still had feelings for Tyler, so she would never sleep with another man.Getting drunk was even more out of the question. After all, she was either working or taking care of her child. She had neither the time nor the inclination to go out drinking.Even Vicky herself was bewildered, and her thoughts were in disarray. "I... I don't know."The others exchanged glances, all noticing that Vicky's first instinct was not to terminate the pregnancy."Vicky, go home and think it over carefully. If you need anything, don't hesitate to call us," Aurora said gently.Vicky nodded absently.Back at home, Vicky reviewed the surveillance footage once more.She had watched it numerous times, but

    Just then, a dish that Vicky usually enjoyed was brought to the table by the waiter.The aroma filled the air, but Vicky paled instantly. Before anyone could react, she retched and rushed to the bathroom.Everyone exchanged puzzled glances.Cece blinked. "What's wrong with Vicky?"Jennifer furrowed her brow. "Vicky doesn't look well. Is she ill?"The concerned Aurora chimed in, "Ever since Tyler's disappearance, Vicky hasn't been in the best mood. She even suffered from postpartum depression. Let's take her to the hospital after dinner. We can't afford for her to fall ill again."Everyone assumed that something was physically wrong with Vicky, but Noah, who remained silent, spoke up."I remember when Vicky was pregnant last time... She seemed to be very sensitive to certain smells."All eyes turned to Noah.Jennifer's eyes widened. "What are you trying to say, Noah?! You don't mean to suggest that...Vicky might be pregnant, do you?"Under the curious gazes of everyone, Noah c

    As Anthony and Jennifer grew up in Lovian, and their families had deep roots there, they had to stay at Lovian as well. However, whenever they had free time, Jennifer often returned to Stoneford City to meet her friends for gatherings and meals.Vicky's birthday was approaching in a few days, and Jennifer came back early for the occasion.Lufian, on the other hand, became the darling of the group, and everyone loved him. Thus, one of the highlights of visiting Zendonia was to see Lufian.On this day, Vicky had some free time and decided to go to the airport to fetch Jennifer.Harvey held Lufian and walked out of Vicky's mansion.He had also come back early to celebrate Vicky's birthday. Like everyone else, he adored Lufian. His priority the moment he returned was to see Lufian, even though Lufian resembled Tyler most uncannily.Harvey carried Lufian and settled into the back seat, preparing to bond with him during the ride. Vicky sat in the driver's seat.Just as they were about

    "Lufian is usually very well-behaved. He doesn't cause a fuss and is easy to handle.""Is his name Lufian?""That's right. Lufian Hart."Gloria's gaze flickered briefly but quickly returned to normal. "Have you given him a nickname?""Not yet," Vicky replied.Gloria did not say anything further.After playing with the child for a while, she carefully placed the necklace she had prepared around Lufian's neck.The baby played for a while and soon fell asleep.Gloria then gently returned Lufian to his stroller.Leaving the nursery, Vicky and Gloria engaged in casual conversation. They had no deep-seated grudges, and over time, their past love and hatred gradually faded away.Vicky smiled and remarked, "You seem to really like children. How about having one yourself? A kid would make a good companion for Lufian.""I'd like to, but I haven't found the right person," Gloria lamented.Gloria had been single for years.
