Sebastian's expression darkened. "Vicky, if nothing is troubling you, you can tell me. Others might be scared of crossing Tyler, but I'm not."

The Hart family was one of the most powerful families in Stoneford City, but the Mills family was among those on the list as well.

Feeling moved, Vicky said, "I've already decided, but thank you, Mister Mills. I've caused you a lot of trouble in the past two days."

He scowled. "Vicky, we've known each other most of our lives, so you don't have to thank me... Don't call me Mister Mills. Just call me Sebastian."

"Alright, Sebastian."

He walked over to her bed. "Vicky, you might not remember this, but we grew up as friends. I know that I'm a stranger to you now and you can't trust me, but..." He looked into her eyes. "I know you. You would've never dropped the charges for no reason at all."

She did not respond.

He kept his eyes trained on her. "Vicky, can you tell me what happened?"

All of Vicky's pretenses meant nothing to the people who k

    Sebastian did not protest and simply said, "Alright, then. Rest well. I'll go now."Right before leaving, he added, "Vicky, do you still have my number?"Vicky thought back to her contact list and shook her head. "I don't think so."Sure enough, Sebastian's name was not on her contact list. Therefore, the two exchanged numbers before he finally left.Shortly after he left, Vicky received a text message from Sebastian and she clicked it open.It was a photo of two figures taken outside the rooms, their backs facing the camera. Even so, she still managed to recognize them: Tyler and Sheila.Underneath the photo was a caption where Sebastian wrote, [Vicky, Tyler is in Sheila's room].Vicky took a glance at the photo before looking away; she didn’t care about it.-The next day, someone knocked on Vicky’s door shortly after she had finished her breakfast, and Sheila entered the room in her wheelchair."Ms. Shaw, are you feeling better now?""Much better. Thank you for asking, Mi

    Maggie was instantly rendered speechless.Just then, there was another knock on the door, and a man in a suit strolled in elegantly.Tyler stilled when he saw the scene inside the room and asked, "What's going on?"Maggie was sharper than Sasha and glanced at Vicky before saying, "After finding out what happened, Sheila was plagued with guilt toward Miss Shaw, so she insisted on coming here despite her leg injury and my objection to apologize to Miss Shaw, but..." Maggie paused before continuing pointedly, "It seems that Miss Shaw is still angry."Seeing that Sheila refused to get up until she accepted her apology, Vicky smiled and said, "Miss Young, Miss Perez is right; you have nothing to do with this. You didn't do anything wrong, so you don't have to apologize to me."She was wondering why Sheila would go through all the trouble to go to her room for this.She realized Sheila had staged it for Tyler to see.Sheila forced a smile. "Sasha is my cousin, after all. She has some

    Cece quieted down as her eyes reddened with tears. "Vicky, I know what happened. Sasha pushed you into a pool and was forced to forgive that murderer, just to get me out."Vicky narrowed her eyes. "Cece, how did you know that?"Cece clenched her fists. "I ran into Sasha on my way here, and she smugly told me everything."Not only did Sasha not regret her action, but she was proud to be released and bragged in front of Cece. She was close to beating her again.She recalled how Sasha pompously bragged, "Try laying a finger on me, b*tch. I'll send you back to prison right away! Vicky has been begging Tyler to help you out. She almost died trying, but seems like she pulled through. Let's see what she has left as leverage if you get into trouble again."Tears welled in Cece's eyes."I'm sorry, Vicky. Sasha wouldn't have pushed you into that pool if it wasn't for me... And now, she runs free.""Cece, if you had seen Sasha, you should've seen the wound on her forehead. I was the one wh

    Vicky did not answer Cece's question, and Cece decided against asking any further questions.After staying for a while, Vicky asked Cece to head home and rest.…In the evening, Vicky stared outside the window as the sun set and made a phone call.Beep. Beep. Beep.After a while, the call was answered and a cold, husky voice appeared on the other end of the phone. "What?""I want to eat the ravioli from Legend Pasta House. Can you buy some for me later on your way here?"He stayed quiet for a few moments, seemingly taken by surprise by her request."You're asking me to...bring you ravioli?""Is something wrong?""Are you certain that you want me to bring you food?""You're my husband, so is it so weird to ask that you bring me food?""..." He fell back into silence.Before he could respond, she continued, "I'll rely on you for dinner from now on. Remember to get here sooner. Alright, I'll let you get back to work."With that, she hung up without hesitation, and that was h

    Vicky hung up after a while and looked up to find Tyler staring at her."Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked."What are you trying to do, Vicky Shaw?" he asked coldly.Tyler was a perceptive man and noticed the change in Vicky's attitude. After all, she was extremely cold toward him in the morning.Vicky took a sip of water and said, "Cece came to visit this afternoon."He waited patiently for her to continue."After she left, I thought about a lot of things." She looked at him. "I think that there's no point for us to hold a grudge against one another whether or not we stay married, right?""So?""You said that I can request something else, right?"Tyler narrowed his eyes. "Looks like you already have something in mind.""Yeah." She did not look away. "I know that I might've done a lot of stupid things in the past, and I can't excuse myself or make up for them even if I've lost my memories... However, there's no changing the past. I know that you hate me, and no

    Tyler studied Vicky's face intently and, after a while, asked, "Why?"Stunned, she muttered, "What?""You should know the weight my promises carry." He lowered his gaze calmly.Feeling as though he was staring right through her soul, she said, "So…?""There's a high chance that you'll fail.""I know.""You could've asked for something better.""I know.""This might be the only chance you get to ask anything from me."She took a deep breath. "I know, but this is all I want."A long moment of silence followed, and tension rose in the air.Just as Vicky thought Tyler would disagree or that he would not say anything at all, he responded, "Fine."Relieved, she looked up, but immediately looked away when she met his eyes.Tyler ignored her and made a call to his assistant to explain the situation before commanding, "Type up an agreement."Half an hour later, Tyler's assistant, Harry, came in. "Mister Hart, here's the agreement you asked for."Tyler nodded and turned to look at

    However, a smart woman knew when to stop. Since Tyler did not love her, Vicky knew better than to be greedy.Tyler's promise was hard to come by and could be extremely useful depending on the circumstances.What Vicky requested was reasonable, so without another word, Tyler simply ordered Harry to note down her words.Half an hour later, Harry added Vicky's request to the agreement while Nanny Paterson arrived with dinner."Sir, your dinner.""It's fine. I'll eat outside later," Tyler said.Vicky immediately interfered. "Mister Hart, as a husband, you're supposed to stay with your wife while she's admitted to the hospital."He scowled. "You want me to stay here with you?""Is that so wrong?" Vicky asked. "It's written in our agreement that you have to fulfill the responsibility of a husband within the following three months. Leaving your wife while she's ill is a violation of the agreement."In the agreement, it was written that if Tyler acted against any of the conditions lis

    At nine in the evening, Tyler returned with a laptop and some of his belongings.Vicky was reading at the time and asked, "How is Miss Young?""Her bones aren't fractured or damaged, so she'll be discharged in a few days' time."She nodded and returned to her book.Spotting the book in her hands, he narrowed his eyes thoughtfully. "What are you reading?""Fashion-related book," she muttered as she flipped through the pages. "Cece told me that I opened my own studio before the accident, and since I'll have to get back to work after I'm discharged, I'll have to familiarize myself with what I've done in the past.""Do you still remember those things?"Amused by his question, she looked up. "I've lost my memories, not my entire brain. I might not remember the past, but I won't forget about the skills that I've acquired in the past."People who had lost their memories would not struggle to apply skills they had learned, such as how to eat, drink, or change.Vicky studied his face i

    [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

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.
