Chris had always thought of Tyler as arrogant and self-absorbed. At this moment, however, he realized that it was not just about Tyler's pride. It was about control, born out of Tyler's insecurity, which was quite ironic.Who could have imagined that the formidable and invincible Tyler Hart would be so emotionally insecure?...The hospital room was tranquil.Upon entering, Tyler saw Vicky's pale face, drained of color. His heart ached, and he was instantly reminded of the scene he saw when he found her covered in blood.No words were exchanged between them.Studying his face, Vicky broke the silence. "When should we sign the divorce papers?"His heart skipped a beat, his voice husky. "Do we have to get divorced?""You can choose to be hypnotized."Tyler fell silent once again. He knew better than anyone that hypnosis and divorce were essentially the same thing. Once he lost all memories of her, Vicky would not hesitate to leave."Think it over," Vicky said. "Let me know when
Tyler seemed to visibly perk up at the sight of Vicky, and he immediately approached her.It was noon, and the sun shone brightly. It somehow made him look more amicable."I've reserved a restaurant." Tyler held her hand. "Let's go."However, Vicky pulled her hand out of his hold. "I'm going to meet my friends.""Reschedule," he said expressionlessly.Vicky hated how dominating he was and frowned. "They're waiting for me. I am going."He lowered his gaze at her. "If that's the case, I will consider the terms you requested invalid."She twitched and looked at him. "What?"Tyler released her hand. "You should go for your appointment."Vicky stood still, gazing at the man's refined features. "Is that why you came to see me today?"Tyler fell silent for a moment. "Let's have a meal."This time, Vicky did not refuse. Still, she and Aurora had made an arrangement, so she sent a message in the group chat after a few seconds of contemplation.[Sorry, something came up suddenly toda
To her surprise, Tyler brought Vicky to the cinema."What would you like to watch?" asked Tyler.Vicky was not really in the mood for a movie but nonetheless replied, "Anything."Tyler did not press for more details and glanced over the movie listings. He ultimately chose a romantic film.When they dated, they used to watch a lot of movies together. However, that stopped altogether ever since they got married.Back when Vicky was an innocent young woman, she enjoyed going to watch romantic dramas with her boyfriend. Tyler, on the other hand, was not particularly interested in movies or TV shows.He did not enjoy them and preferred tranquility due to his dismay at crowded places like movie theaters.Tyler proposed multiple times to book an entire cinema for her if she liked movies that much, but Vicky always declined, saying, "Booking a whole cinema is the same as watching on our home theater. The essence of going to the cinema is the atmosphere."Despite Tyler's aversion to cro
Puppy love was perfect to stir the audience's emotions. Even Vicky could not help but feel a wave of nostalgia as she watched the characters from their school days on screen.The development of the protagonists' relationship from acquaintances to lovers was beautiful.The male lead was well-off, young, handsome, and a top student with a promising future.Meanwhile, although the female lead's grades were excellent, her family background was not as favorable. She relied on scholarships and part-time jobs to cover her tuition and living expenses, but she sent money back home regularly despite facing financial hardship.Despite such disparate backgrounds, the two miraculously found their way to each other and remained together throughout their university years.While the story had its share of cliches, including the initial dislike between the main characters and various competitions and rescue scenes, it was presented endearingly and romantically.The actors' performances were great
The scene shifted, revealing that the female lead had been diagnosed with a hereditary disease. Her life might not extend beyond the age of 40.The parents of the male lead somehow learned of this news and talked to the female lead, saying, "He has already given up studying abroad for you once. Now... It's time for you to do something for him."It was revealed that everything she did was merely a facade to break up with the male lead. The narrative then returned to the beginning of the film.The male lead gazed in disbelief at the woman before him, unable to believe that the once proud and outstanding girl worked as a janitor in the company.When the female lead realized she had been spotted, she pushed the male lead away and fled.That very day, she quit her job and disappeared from his sight.The female lead's circumstances made the male lead realize something was amiss, so he sought out the female lead's friend to inquire about why she had changed so drastically. Tearfully, th
As they left the venue, Vicky overheard a chorus of regretful whispers from the others around her.It felt like a dream.Indeed, regardless of the situation, there was no going back once a decision was made.Life was not a fairytale, and nobody was obliged to wait around indefinitely.After leaving the cinema, Tyler drove her to the beach again, holding her hand just like he used to when they were in love.Vicky did not fight him, and they strolled along the shore.Neither of them uttered a word.This tranquil scene persisted until the sunset slowly descended. As sunlight brushed over the horizon, the sea turned into shades of golden red, a beautiful vibrant display that was transient and fleeting. The sun dipped below the horizon, and the sky darkened. The sea breeze picked up, causing Vicky's long hair to flutter in the wind."Vicky, can we not separate? Will you stay with me?" His voice was low, tinged with a touch of desperation.The sun had vanished, and the expressions o
Vicky froze as she understood the underlying meaning of his words. She moved her lips to speak but fell silent in the end....At night, Vicky made a video call to Aurora while Tyler was in the shower.Aurora sighed in relief at the sight of Vicky's face. "I was really scared that Tyler was texting me with your phone." She studied Vicky's expression and relaxed visibly when she saw nothing concerning, apart from a faint hint of sorrow."This won't happen again," commented Vicky.Aurora hesitated for a moment, about to inquire further, only to abruptly notice the backdrop of the video was none other than the villa where Vicky had been living. She knew that Vicky had recently moved out of the villa and into her own apartment. Aurora's keen perception caught something amiss. "Vicky, are you okay?""I'm fine," Vicky looked at Aurora on the screen. "I just wanted to let you know that I'm okay, so you don't worry."Aurora was about to say something but held back in the end. "Well... G
After the shower, Vicky changed into a fresh change of clothes and went downstairs for dinner.It was eight at night after they finished dinner, and Tyler finally spoke of what Vicky had been waiting for. "I will accept hypnosis."His compromise did not surprise Vicky as it was a result she achieved by threatening to take her life."When can we start?" she asked."It's up to you."She glanced at the time. "Today, then."He frowned. "Why the hurry?"She chuckled. "I don't want you changing your mind again if we wait any longer."He fell into silence for a long while before saying, "Alright."She stood up. "I will make a few phone calls to arrange it."Tyler did not stop her.Caught between divorce and hypnosis, he chose the second option despite knowing there was not much difference between the two. Still, being with her for an extra day, even an extra second, was all that mattered.After about 10 minutes, Vicky approached. "The hypnotist will be here in half an hour.""Her
