Chapter 1639

Author: Debbie Meza
After much contemplation, Lincoln said, "I lost consciousness after entering this room."

The moment she heard this, Valencia screamed, "You all heard him! Avery drugged my Lincoln! Why else would my dear boy sleep with a wench like her?"

Valencia thought back to how Alana verbally degraded Lincoln and was so overwhelmed by rage that she ditched all manners and etiquette. She turned around and spat in Avery's direction.

"Valencia, what are you doing?!" Furious, Alana shouted. "To secure your adopted son's position, you came begging us to marry our daughter to him. If our daughter disgusts you so, why didn't you show it when you wanted something from us? Do you really think that your son is any better? He's nothing but a man who relies on a woman to gain power!"

Seeing as the two were about to fight again, Old Mister Hart roared, "That's enough! This is no place for this sort of childish argument!"

Throughout the years, Old Mister Hart remained respected by many, and the two relucta

    "Are you some kind of a saint? Did Tyler not come from your womb?" Avery retorted.She was not worried about being seen at all and wanted nothing more than to have everyone know about her relationship with Tyler. Since they were caught in the act, she felt pleased knowing that no one would dare try to seduce Tyler again.Many other women apart from Vicky tried to seduce Tyler at the bouquet, and Avery refused to let them win.Sensing that Avery felt no guilt, Valencia came close to fainting from rage. "No one would say a thing if this was consensual. I just think that you used some kind of dirty tricks to get your way!" She turned to Lincoln and asked, "Lincoln, why don't you tell us if this was consensual?"Lincoln shook his head and was about to speak when Avery exclaimed, "Lincoln?!"Finally noticing Lincoln, she continued, "Shouldn't you be asking Tyler instead? Why are you asking him? Tyler and I..."Valencia narrowed her eyes sarcastically. "Keep up the act, Avery! Let's se

    Alana Yeager froze. She had not expected Doctor Efron to be so daring.At this point, Avery was finally starting to piece together what happened, and her eyes widened in shock."You've got it all wrong! I was intimate with Tyler, not Lincoln! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" She turned to Tyler with desperation in her eyes. "Tyler, say something! It was you on the bed with me, not Lincoln, right?"Tyler lowered his gaze to face Avery's hopeful eyes and said, "It wasn't me, Avery."Avery's words came out in a jumble. "B—But it was you! It must've been you! Weren't you waiting for me in the room the whole time? You even let me go take a bath first. When I came out, you carried me over and embraced me passionately, just like last time—""Avery, that's enough!" warned Vernon, noticing Avery's words were becoming improper by the second.It was a well-known fact that Tyler was outside of the room when everything happened, yet Avery was trying to pin this on Tyler, which only made he

    Tyler responded calmly, "Outsiders probably shouldn't interfere too much. It depends on the wishes of the parties involved."Seeing that Tyler did not object, Vernon urged, "Naturally, it's up to Lincoln and Avery to agree to the marriage. However..." He smiled apologetically. "Tyler, as the head of the Hart family, we still need your approval for this union."After all, Tyler was once Avery's fiance. If he refused, it would be impossible for Avery to marry into the Hart family. Even if he still wanted Avery as his wife, the Harts would never accept her.Lincoln, on the other hand, was adopted, and the family did not expect much of him. Nevertheless, the question remained whether Lincoln was willing to accept this arrangement.Tyler glanced at Vernon and said, "If they're fine with it, I don't have any objections."As he spoke, Avery and Lincoln, having changed into different clothes, returned.Upon seeing Tyler, Avery hurried to him. "Tyler, please let me explain. I don't unders

    Lincoln never expected to end up sleeping with Avery instead.In response to Lincoln's silence, Mister Yeager said, "It's true that Avery drugged Lincoln, but no one forced him to enter the room. It would be unreasonable to blame everything on Avery. Avery is a young lady; it's not fair for her to lose her virtue and bear all responsibility. Old Mister Hart, you must give us something here."Also, words about what happened will soon spread. If Lincoln refuses to take responsibility, he'll be condemned as a womanizer. Not only will our company be affected, but the Harts will suffer as well. The best solution we have at the moment is for Avery and Lincoln to get married. That way, we can all salvage our reputation."Old Mister Hart nodded. "Indeed. That's the only option for now." He turned to Lincoln. "Lincoln, what do you think?"Lincoln pursed his lips and agreed reluctantly, "Fine.""No, I won't agree to this! I won't marry you! I want to marry Tyler!" Avery screamed. She turned

    Vicky knew that this spectacle would not be resolved quickly, nor would it be easily resolved. Not too long ago, she had seen a few reporters rushing to the scene from her window.Even though she was not clear about the specifics and did not know how the Hart family and the Yeager family resolved the matter, one thing was clear to her: Avery would never marry Tyler again.Even if Tyler wanted Avery, the Harts and the Yeagers would disagree with it. After all, aristocratic families valued their reputation. Forcing Avery into a marriage with Tyler would merely destroy both families' reputations.As expected, Avery and Lincoln held a joint press conference and announced their engagement just a few days later.Avery became the center of attention in all countries.No one believed her words at the announcement. They even speculated online that she might appear in yet another inappropriate film soon with another man.Vicky had thought the same. However, when Avery publicly displayed he

    "Are you coming or not?"Vicky recalled how Tyler insisted that she slept at ten the last time, stopping her from completing her work.Vicky resented the feeling of being controlled.Not wanting to argue with Tyler in front of her friends, she hung up without another word.A few moments later, her phone rang again, and she turned it off immediately.Afterward, she found Noah and Aurora staring at her."Vicky, have you...gotten back together with him?" Aurora asked gingerly.Vicky raised an eyebrow. "No.""But...that was Tyler calling, right?""Yeah."Aurora and Noah exchanged glances before Aurora asked, "Are you living with him now?"After a moment of silence, Vicky said, "Sort of."One could say that they were living together. Tyler had been away on business, and Vicky had chosen not to return to the villa. Staying there only made her feel uneasy and restrained. After all, their relationship was no longer what it had been four years ago.Aurora hesitated for a moment and

    Noah dared not to take up any more of Vicky's time and swiftly settled the bill after finishing his food. Aurora was deeply impressed by how quickly he managed to eat.Vicky lost her appetite after answering Tyler's call.…Upon returning home, she saw Tyler's leather shoes on the shoe rack. She changed into her slippers and went upstairs.The bedroom door was not fully closed, and she noted the lights in the room were switched on.She stepped into the bedroom and found Tyler standing by the window in a bathrobe, holding a wine glass.The scent of wine filled the air.She glanced at the table on the side and spotted a bottle of wine that was half-finished.For some reason, Vicky felt like she was suffocating."When did you come back?" she asked.He did not turn around, but his indifferent voice reached her ears. "Come here."Sensing that he was in a bad mood, Vicky walked over as instructed.Tyler handed her an empty wine glass. She took it, picked up the bottle of red wine

    Vicky was not lying. If she were to give up her business here, she could wrap things up within three months—and that was being generous. After all, she was the owner, not an ordinary employee. Whether she decided to sell the studio or find a partner, it would be a tedious process.Given Tyler's ability and experience, she expected him to understand."Three months..." he repeated, before asking, "Is three months enough?""It should be," Vicky replied."I thought you might need more time."Vicky found his words strangely cryptic and did not have time to think them over before he continued, "Well, it's better this way. That way, you can leave everything behind."Tyler was oddly reasonable, which confused her. She mustered a faint smile and said, "It's getting late. I should rest... I'll take a shower first."Vicky was just about to leave when he suddenly grabbed her wrist."Not so soon," he said and pressed her against the window, before lowering his head to kiss her.It had been

    [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.

    "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.
