With someone as reckless as Sasha as her soldier, Sheila had her do everything she could not do or say while she continued to play the act of an innocent, kind-hearted woman.She had made others do the dirty work for her, and despite the blood on her hands along with the fact that she was trying to destroy a marriage, she still wanted a good reputation.'Things can't go that well for her!' Vicky thought to herself. 'Does she really think that she could manipulate Sasha and get whatever she wants? I'll have her know that Sasha is nothing but a ticking time bomb. She cares about Tyler, doesn't she? She'll always remain the pathetic homewrecker that she is now!'...The next day, Sheila was discharged.The injury on her leg had long recovered, and she only stayed in the hospital with the hope of making Tyler feel guilty about her injury.Though he did feel guilty to a certain extent, it was hardly comparable to the guilt he felt for Vicky.Sheila gritted her teeth as she realized t
"What's wrong?" Vicky's heart sank when she looked into Tyler's eyes. "Does it taste bad?"It had always been stressful to interact with Tyler as his presence was intimidating by nature that suffocated her.She picked up her spoon and had a taste.According to what Nanny Paterson said, Vicky was a great cook who enjoyed cooking whenever she had the time. Though she had lost her memories, she did not lose her instinct.Worried that she might be rusty, she practiced at home in the evening for Nanny Paterson to taste.Nanny Paterson told her that she had practiced cooking for Tyler's sake, so all her best dishes were also his favorite dishes.After tasting them, Vicky did not find any issues and turned to look at Tyler. "Is something wrong? You can tell me if there is, and I'll improve my cooking next time around.""No," he said hoarsely and proceeded to eat in the most elegant manner.Impressed by his mannerism, Vicky finally realized why countless women fell head over heels for
According to Vicky's understanding, other than Sheila, Tyler's first love, no other woman could make him fall for her.If that was the case, who was the person that Tyler saw in her?Without thinking about it, Vicky asked, "Tyler, other than Sheila, have you ever liked anybody else?"Tyler's dark expression suddenly fell back into normalcy. He lowered his eyes and collected his emotions. "Why are you suddenly asking me this?"Vicky replied, "I have to understand who I'm going up against. I want to know if I have any other competition other than Sheila."Since she had signed the agreement, Vicky was open about her intentions. For the past three months, she had tried to make Tyler like her, so asking such a question was not considered strange.Tyler did not answer her, however. He merely closed the documents in his hands. "I'll take a shower, then rest."He then got up and left the room.Vicky remained in the same spot as she stared at the man's long, slender figure. Her brow fur
Tyler glanced at her and sat by the dining table to quietly eat his breakfast.In the following days, Vicky would get up earlier in the morning to prepare breakfast for Tyler and would also cook dinner at night. She tried her best to be an eligible and great wife.That day, Tyler worked late. When he returned home, it was already slightly past midnight.He pushed open the door to the bedroom and was surprised to find that the lights in the bedroom were still on.Vicky had a routine. She would usually go to bed by 10.30 p.m.Hearing the sound of the door opening, Vicky, who was by the bed reading, smiled at the man who just returned home. "You're back."Tyler looked at her. "Why aren't you asleep?""Waiting for you, of course.""Didn't I say you could sleep first?"On days when Tyler could not return home to have dinner, he would tell Vicky in advance to not wait for him. He knew he was going to work very late that day, so he told Vicky beforehand that she could go to bed first
Previously, Tyler was not as busy as he was that night. He returned home on time every day and would regain his strength quickly with Vicky looking after him.Recently, however, he was so busy that he did not have the time to eat. He resumed his irregular eating habits once more, so his stomach condition flared up again."Hold on." Vicky put on her slippers and got out of bed. "I'll go get your medicine."A few minutes later, Vicky brought a glass of warm water and a few pills. She fed Tyler the medicine.After taking his medicine, Tyler's stomach pains decreased.Eventually, they returned to sleep once more.…The next afternoon, Vicky stood in the lobby of Hart Corporation and dialed Tyler.Beep, beep, beep!The phone rang for a long time. Finally, someone answered the call, and Tyler's low, cold voice rang out, "What is it?"Unless something was up, Vicky usually would never call Tyler and disturb his work.Vicky asked, "Have you had lunch yet?"After a few seconds of si
Vicky did not deny Tyler's question. "Last night, your stomach condition flared up. You can't continue destroying your body this way. Since you always forget to eat, I'll bring you food on time."Then, Vicky opened the lunch box. "I've learned a few dishes that are good for the stomach. Try and see if you like them."Although Tyler's character was rather aloof, that did not mean he was unsympathetic.Vicky must have been busy the entire morning to have prepared lunch and brought it for him.He picked up his utensils when he suddenly thought of something. He asked, "Have you eaten?""I'll eat when I head back."Tyler furrowed his brow and made an internal call."Send some food up." Then, he ordered a few of the dishes that Vicky liked to eat.Looking at Tyler's natural and unhesitant way of speaking, a strange feeling blossomed in her heart.After hanging up, Tyler realized that Vicky was looking at him with a strange look, and his gaze darkened. "What is it?""How do you know
"Are you that eager to win me over?""Yes. Otherwise, why would I rather use your promise to fight for another three months?"Tyler's gaze darkened. It was as if he was at the bottom of a lake, dark and cold."You've planned this for a long time all because you like me?"Vicky smiled. "First, once I'm divorced, I'll be a divorcee. A divorced woman will find it harder to get married again. Second, my family has fallen from grace. With my current status, I won't be able to marry a man better than you. It's only human nature to seek advantages. If I can be the high-and-mighty Missus Hart, why would I want to go out and suffer? Lastly…"Vicky looked at Tyler's deep gaze. "I held on so tightly previously unwilling to divorce was probably not only because of the benefits. There might be a deep liking too. To be able to marry for love and gain materialistically is the best of both worlds. So, no matter how I see it from any angle, continuing this marriage with you is the best choice."T
The striking and attractive duo naturally attracted everyone's attention. However, that was not the point. What really shocked everyone was seeing Tyler actually bringing Vicky to the dinner parties because he hardly brought his wife to this sort of dinner party in the past.Many people started whispering to each other after seeing both of them showing up together.Vicky and Tyler did not mind the attention and entered the banquet hall without any changes to their expression.The first person who greeted them was Sebastian."Vicky, you're here," said Sebastian.Vicky smiled back at him. "Sebastian, it has been a while."He nodded and looked at the tall man beside Vicky.Tyler wore a black bespoke suit with a noble and elegant temperament. His perfectly sculpted, handsome face was distant and calm. His blue eyes were the same color as the ocean. Sebastian looked less affectionate when he saw Tyler. However, he remained polite and well-mannered."Mister Hart," he greeted.Tyle
