Glancing at Vicky, the pieces of information clicked in Mister Kirby's mind, and it was visible how it looked like a light bulb lit up in his head.

"Are you afraid your husband might misunderstand us?" He smiled gently. "Fine. Call your husband and ask him to come to pick you up. Neither of us has to worry."

Vicky remained silent for a few seconds. "It's not necessary. I can go back by myself. He's busy, and he's probably still working."

"No matter how busy his work is, it isn't as important as the safety of his wife." He put his hands into his pocket. A shadow of his body was reflected on the ground. "Miss Shaw, you have two options now. Either you call your husband and ask him to pick you up, or I'll send you back home."

Vicky was unable to reason with the man and felt rather helpless. She had no idea why this man was so responsible. After giving it a thought, she decided to call Tyler.

Beep, beep, beep!

No one answered the phone. After the call got disconnected automatically,

    Seeing Vicky staring at him, a smile graced Mister Kirby's handsome face, twinkling with mischief. "Fine. I'll head out now."He thus started the car's engine and drove away, all while Vicky watched on.Vicky took out her phone, hoping to check should there be any update, but there was no response from Tyler at all. She tried calling him again, but alas, it was for naught.She remained in the same spot for a while before deciding to take the lift to go to Tyler's office. 'Since I'm here, I might as well go up and take a look,' she thought. She assumed Tyler was busy with work and was too busy to look at his phone.After all, he had spent the whole night at the hospital where Sheila was, and Vicky did leave her a little…warning this morning. Sheila was no fool, either, and she ought to know it was fine to fuss a little sometimes. However, if she did it every day, it would only make Tyler disgust her more.Since Tyler had not slept last night, Vicky doubted Sheila would trouble him

    "The number you have dialed is unavailable. Please try again."The call was terminated; that was what this meant. The automated voice would have stated something else if the call was not answered at all. It would have said, "The number you have dialed cannot be reached. Please call again or try later."Plus, the dial tone only rang five or six times.At that moment, the driver realized something. He looked up and used the rearview mirror to look at the backseat. His face changed when he saw Vicky was awake, and he realized Vicky's phone, which was in her hand, was lit up. He asked angrily, "What are you doing?"Vicky panicked, but she tried hard not to show it on her face and remained calm. "I should be the one asking this question."While she was talking, she tried to call Tyler again. "This is not where I want to go. Where are you taking me?"Since Vicky knew what was happening, the driver sneered, "A place where you should be!"She attempted another call, but it was hung up a

    The muscular guy looked at Vicky. "How are we able to kidnap his wife so easily? Do you think it's a trap to get the boss to show himself and capture all of us?"The driver started to doubt himself upon hearing this. "I don't think so. There's nothing weird when I saw her leaving Hart Corporation.""Look at how the media and the latest news says Tyler had reconnected with his wife and even taught those people who bullied her a lesson. He even invited her to have the first dance on his birthday, showing the public how much he treasured his wife. There was no gossip related to him during this period. News related to him was how he loved his wife…""Love her? She'll only die sooner. The more they displayed their affection, the more fake it was. Don't you know how rich people work? They looked like a perfect couple to the public, but their personal lives are a mess!" scoffed the muscular guy."That's true…" the driver muttered. "Hey, do you think Tyler used her to distract us?""Distr

    "You got a point! I heard a man like Tyler Hart cares about his reputation the most. If he wants to get rid of this woman and doesn't want to dirty his hands, he's probably hoping we can do it for him… We're not going to fall into his trap!""Then, what should we do now?""Bring her with us. If the boss needs to use her, he can use her. If not, we can free her and let her settle with Tyler herself. If this woman can force Tyler to marry her, she's probably capable of something. Let his backyard burn so he has to spend time putting it out… It'll be a good thing for our boss, too."The muscular guys did not even care about Vicky's presence as they talked about either sparing her or killing her.In the end, they decided to bring her along and have their boss decide her fate.As such, Vicky was forced back into the taxi she came with. She cooperated with them and stayed quiet; different from other women they have kidnapped before.Her calmness changed the muscular guys' view of her.

    Soon, the ambushed car stopped in front of the car where Vicky was in. After a while, a handsome tall man walked out of the car.Vicky stayed in the car for a few seconds before she decided to come out.The man looked at her and asked, "Are you hurt?""No." Although she looked pale, she seemed fine for the most part, and her clothes were intact.The man raised an eyebrow and smiled impishly. "Miss Shaw, didn't I tell you it's very dangerous for a young lady to go out at night? You refused to listen to me."Vicky stayed quiet for a few seconds and asked, "How did you find me?"She had worked till late at night before, and nothing happened to her then. Thus, she did not take into consideration his reminder.After Tyler's late night out and Sheila calling in the middle of the night, Vicky found herself in a deep funk. That was why she forgot about Tyler's enemy.Mister Kirby took out a cigarette and lit it up. The smoke from the cigarette dispersed around his handsome face added a

    Coincidentally, the hospital they were headed toward was the one Sheila was staying at and the one Vicky came to this morning. Since Tyler was not in the office, there was a high chance that he was here.Vicky thought sarcastically, 'Maybe I'll even meet him in the hospital.'However, for some reason, all bad things happened in one single day.Just as she just entered the hospital, she noticed many doctors standing at the entrance with gatch beds and many first-aid items.Mister Kirby raised an eyebrow and curiously asked, "Is a VIP coming to the hospital to get treatment?"A split second later, he heard heavy footsteps from the door followed by a few men entering the hospital."Doctor, he's shot! He needs surgery immediately!"The doctors ran over to check the patient's situation. Vicky unconsciously glanced in their direction, and she was petrified at the sight.The unconscious man covered in blood was Tyler!She noticed many people were around him. Harry was among those men

    Anger burned the last rational thought in Sheila's mind when she saw Vicky acting innocent, as if she did not know anything.She raised her hand and tried to slap Vicky again, but her hand was caught mid-swing.A deep melodious voice like the sound from a cello rang, "Miss, either you talk nicely or you fight. Don't just try to slap someone while you're talking. It's spiteful for you to do that."Sheila was so distracted by Vicky that she never realized there was a man beside Vicky. As she heard the voice, she raised her head.The man looked extremely handsome. His almond-shaped eyes were mesmerizing. His thin lips curled into a smile as his hands were in his pockets. While he stood relaxedly, there was something noble about him that people were slightly intimidated by.Sheila frowned and said sarcastically, "Hi. It's better that you don't act like those annoying women and stay out of the way like a man."Instead of being provoked, Mister Kirby smiled faintly. "I'd never butt in

    Mister Kirby looked at Vicky and asked, "Are you alright?"Vicky blinked and tried to force a smile. "I'm fine."He stood beside her. "You were kidnapped. There's nothing wrong with you calling your husband for help. You don't have to blame yourself. But that woman…"He chuckled. "The way she accused and lambasted you, makes me think like it's her husband who got shot."Vicky looked at him. "Mister Kirby…thank you for saving me today, but I'm afraid—"He knew what she was going to say before she finished her sentence. "I understand. Since your husband is hurt, you'll need to stay here. I'll get going now."He looked like he was a very casual person, but he was, in truth, thoughtful and caring. Most of the time, he could read her mind.She gazed at him gratefully, more so than ever before. "I'll treat you to a meal when I'm free one day. Call me anytime if you need me.""Sure." He waved at her. "Bye.""Be careful on your way.Mister Kirby raised his eyebrow and smiled at her b

    [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

    "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.
