"That's not the most important thing, though. In the face of Valencia's and Lincoln's schemes, you can't help Tyler. Quite the opposite, actually—all you do is slow him. Lincoln and Valencia have used you to cause Tyler pain multiple times now."Admit it, Vicky; all you have to offer is pain. I'm only doing this to show you the reality and give you a reason to leave Tyler. I can be the villain of this story. You're just an innocent woman forced to leave Tyler. Will that make you feel better?"Vicky narrowed her eyes in disgust. "Quit sugar-coating your crime. If you're truly a great woman, I might've been able to accept leaving him. Now that I know that you're a witch, though, I'd rather watch him go insane than let you have him. Also, don't think for a moment you're capable of controlling Tyler. You'll soon be proven wrong."With that said, Vicky tossed the phone back to Avery and turned to leave.Avery sneered. "You can stay on your high horse for now, Vicky, but you'll regret it
As soon as the thought emerged, Vicky dismissed it swiftly.She already gave up on Tyler once before. This time, she refused to give up on him again as she had promised him.To prevent others from noticing Tyler's condition, Vicky minimized her appearances at Hart Corporation and rarely stayed by his side.She continued to work with Isabella to explore treatment options and find skilled doctors in the field. However, even Isabella was helpless in this situation, and other doctors were equally baffled.A week went by swiftly. One day, Vicky received a call from Isabella."Missus Hart," Isabella said warily. "I've just landed. I'll be meeting the doctor who once provided the hallucinogenic drugs very soon."Due to Isabella's carelessness, Avery discovered Tyler's condition, making her feel both guilty and even more committed.They managed to trace the source of the hallucinogenic drugs, and Isabella traveled abroad to meet with the supplier to understand the exact effects of the d
Vicky's eyelashes fluttered.After a miscarriage years ago, her body suffered damage, making it difficult for her to conceive.She had indeed undergone medication treatment for a while but with no improvement. Other matters then intervened, and she gradually gave up the idea.Tyler had not brought up the topic of having children in a long time, too.As she was lost in her thoughts, Tyler's kisses littered her skin.Vicky snapped back to reality. "No, we haven't had breakfast...""I'll have you first," he said in a muffled voice.Unable to fight him, she caved under his wanton kisses. Before long, she was suddenly lifted, and only then did Vicky regain her senses.She gently pushed Tyler away.Tyler lowered his head, his burning gaze fixating on her.Unable to refuse the look in his eyes, she blushed. "The…stove is still on."Tyler finally noticed the pot of soup on the stove. Turning off the stove, he lifted Vicky into his arms and headed upstairs....The sound of running
Vicky felt distressed. "Did you—"Tyler, who was fully dressed, interrupted, "Aren't you going to shower?"He seemed reluctant to listen to her or talk about what happened earlier.Vicky studied him for a while, her expression turning grim. "I'll go now."She put on her slippers and headed for the bathroom. Halfway, however, her knees felt weak. She was about to collapse onto the ground when a hand caught her."Thank you," Vicky muttered before walking into the bathroom.Tyler watched as Vicky's silhouette disappeared into the bathroom, his gaze gradually darkened.By the time Vicky emerged from the bathroom, half an hour had passed.Judging from Tyler's expression, it seemed he had forgotten their plans again. She assumed that their date was going to be canceled.Although Vicky had grown accustomed to such situations, a strong sense of sorrow welled up within her. She desperately wished she could quickly eliminate the one who was the root cause of all this.Exiting the bathr
Swiftly, Vicky withdrew her gaze and looked at Tyler. "This is where you want to go?""Haven't you always wanted to visit a theme park?" Tyler unbuckled his seatbelt. "We didn't have a great time the last time we were in a theme park, so this time, let's enjoy ourselves."Vicky quickly recalled the time she had gone to great lengths to arrange a visit to the theme park with Noah, who pretended to be her boyfriend, to break up with him. However, Tyler intervened midway. In the end, it was she and Tyler who spent the day at the theme park together.Yes, it was a date at the time, but it had not been as joyous as they hoped.'But what about this time? Could this time be different?' she thought.Once they entered the theme park, the attention of numerous onlookers was drawn to them.Tyler was used to this and did not react. With a sweep of his gaze, he noticed a cotton candy stall."Wait here," said Tyler before he made his way toward the stall.Soon enough, he returned, handing a
The rides were all childish and boring to Tyler, but Vicky seemed to enjoy being in the theme park. Even though he had no interest in what he considered rides for toddlers, he was determined to fulfill his promise to Vicky.Realizing he was serious, Vicky quickly stopped him. "I was just kidding." She gestured toward the Ferris wheel behind them. "Let's try that one instead."The Ferris wheel was the tallest structure in the theme park, as well as one of the tallest in the city. A full rotation would take nearly 50 minutes, and a person could overlook the entire cityscape of Stoneford City at the summit of the ride.Tyler glanced at the Ferris wheel and relaxed visibly. While he still had no interest in it, the Ferris wheel was more acceptable to him than the merry-go-round.Once they stepped into the Ferris wheel, Vicky began to appreciate the view outside. Occasionally, she took out her phone and snapped a few photos. During this time, she noticed Tyler was looking at his phone a
Tyler turned to look at Vicky and muttered, "Okay."Together, they arrived at Vicky's studio.Cece and Jennifer had left for the day, leaving the studio in darkness.Vicky flicked on the switch on the wall, and the crystal chandelier on the ceiling illuminated the entire room.She led Tyler into the room where clothing was stored. The room was lined with a row of men's outfits. Suits, casualwear, and various types of shirts were neatly arranged, giving it the impression of a walk-in closet.Tyler raised an eyebrow at Vicky. "These...are all for me?""Yes." Vicky picked up a casual outfit and brought it up to Tyler's body. "If it was just a set or two, I would have gotten it done long ago."Finding the sizes perfectly fitting, Vicky continued with satisfaction, "Didn't you say you'll only wear clothes I design for you in the future? I've prepared various types for you. This room will be specifically for storing your clothing."Vicky had separated the room for Tyler's clothes fro
Tyler tried on a complete suit, so it required a bit of time to put on.After a few seconds of hesitation, Vicky picked up Tyler's phone.She knew the passcode to unlock it. It was not often that Vicky invaded someone's privacy; she rarely even glanced at his phone.Upon unlocking, she found that the vibration earlier was a reminder. The remainder had only two words: [Memory Journal].The title puzzled her, and she absentmindedly glanced through Tyler's memory journal.The dense notes within the journal left Vicky stunned. She selected the entries from today, astonished to discover a chronological listing of everything that had happened.[1. After waking up, I didn't forget what happened yesterday and planned to take Vicky out on a date.][2. I couldn't resist taking Vicky, so we ended up wasting the entire morning.]Vicky flinched at the notes and continued reading.[3. After showering, it seems I forgot again.][4. Went to the amusement park together, and rode the Ferris wh
