Vicky jumped at the voice, and as she recovered from the shock, she noticed that Tyler was grabbing her wrist and scanning the wound on her hand.His side profile looked as though it had been carved by the most talented sculptor. Her heart raced, and she felt her breath catch in her throat as she saw the focused look in his eyes.It was a strange, yet familiar feeling…and she felt overwhelmed by it.Just then, Nanny Paterson walked over and said, "Missus Hart, what happened?"Tyler relaxed slightly once he noticed that Vicky's hand was not injured. He looked at Nanny Paterson and said, "Her hand is injured. Don't let her do chores like this anymore."Nanny Paterson glanced at Vicky and immediately grinned. "Of course, Mister Hart."Ever since Vicky lost her memories, it was obvious that Tyler had been gentler with her. Nanny Paterson took it as a sign that the couple would be at peace with one another eventually.She served breakfast on the dining table before heading back into
"You didn't seem to be as happy as I thought you would be when I told you that we could continue with our marriage," Tyler said."That's because you didn't want me to go after Sheila," Vicky retorted without hesitation."And why would that make a difference?" asked Tyler."Of course, there's a difference! You wanting to continue the marriage out of your own will versus you doing it to save somebody else is totally different! What's to say you won't divorce me to save somebody in the future? Given this, isn't it totally normal for me not to jump for joy when you said that?" Vicky uttered."I've already told you, I don't want to marry her anymore," Tyler explained.Vicky pouted and said, "You not wanting to marry her and you compromising because of her are two different things."Tyler looked at her. "I also told you that I didn't make the decision solely because of her."That was exactly why Vicky thought Tyler was a cruel, cold-blooded man; the true reason why her emotions were w
"I am," admitted Tyler calmly.Vicky felt like she could not catch her breath. "Why did you help me with my revenge if you don't want to be with me?"Tyler was an excellent businessman, and his interest always came first. Everything he did served a purpose, and he never did anything without first thinking it through.He would never have crossed the Simmons family if he planned on divorcing Vicky. That would be out of character for him to do it since he was never known to risk his own interest for a mere woman.Tyler looked askance at Vicky, and his tone was cold and demeaning when he replied, "Who else would be willing to be my wife if people heard that Missus Hart was treated worse than an animal?"After a pause, he continued with a straight face, "Don't flatter yourself. I had the same thought as you when I did it: paving a clear path ahead for me to take on a new Missus Hart by showing everyone just how good of a life she would have. That way, the woman in question might look p
Vicky had spent enough time with Tyler, so she knew what he was thinking. With a smile, she took out something from the lunch bag. "This is my lunch."It was only a cupcake.Tyler frowned. "Are you so poor that you can't afford to buy lunch?""I ate too much for breakfast, so I don't feel like eating too much for lunch." Vicky tore the packaging. "I'm pretty sure I'll be hungry again before dinner time. Why don't you get off work earlier so that we can have an early dinner?"Tyler looked at her. "So that was your plan all along?""Yes." Vicky admitted it without hesitation. "You don't want a disabled wife, right? Come home early for dinner. Both you and I will be well. It's a win-win situation, and everyone is happy.""Vicky, I can always look for a new wife if you've become disabled," Tyler replied.Using a fork, Vicky took a bite of the cake. "You won't be able to take a new wife as long as I don't agree to the divorce," she said while still chewing the cake."I seem to remem
"You're right, Miss Young. I neglected my duty as Tyler's wife."Vicky made no excuses and swiftly agreed to Sheila’s oversight. "Thank you for reminding me. I'll pay extra attention and would never allow such things to happen again."She then turned around to look at Tyler. "Honey, I'm sorry I've neglected you these days, but it won't happen again."Sheila's face stiffened. She subconsciously tightened her grip on the lunch bag. Her expression darkened even more when she saw Tyler holding a pair of cutlery.If she had not entered the office, Tyler would have eaten the food Vicky brought for him. She took a glance at the food inside the lunch box and then at Vicky."Tyler shouldn't be eating things that would upset his stomach. Some of the food you've brought will do exactly that. Ms. Shaw, why don't we let Tyler eat the food I've prepared for him today?" Sheila put a smile back on her face and opened up the lunch box she brought.A delicious aroma filled the entire office. The p
An ex-lover straddled the world between the familiar and the strange; not to mention, no woman in the history of the world would ever be truly comfortable with the thought of her man remaining in contact with his ex. In fact, most women possessed the ability to imagine all kinds of scenarios concerning their partner and their partner's ex based on their partner's offhand remark.Vicky could tell that Sheila was deliberately showing off even though her remark sounded innocent enough. While it might be true that she did not remember anything from before the car crash, she still felt disgusted by what Sheila was doing.Tyler looked at Sheila's gentle face and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but please take the food back with you."To Sheila, what Tyler just said sounded even more hurtful than all of Vicky's harsh words.Sheila's face turned pale, and her eyes reddened. "Tyler, I'm just worried about your health. I don't have any other intentions…"Tyler's handsome face remained ca
"On my birthday, a reporter took pictures of the two of you having dinner together. And on that very same night, I received a text message from you asking for a divorce. If I've guessed correctly, it was at that moment you thought of rekindling your relationship with Sheila, wasn't it?" Vicky asked.Although she did not remember anything from the past, it did not mean she was an idiot. Tyler took his sweet time showing up in her ward after she had a car accident. Besides, the first thing he said to her then was to ask for a divorce. Even a fool could tell he did not want to stay married to Vicky.Tyler looked calm and aloof. "Me having dinner with her doesn't mean I want to rekindle our relationship, but…"His eyes became dark and steely. "It was true I wanted a divorce at that time."Vicky felt a twinge of pain in her heart, but she quickly calmed herself. "I didn't call you cruel because I wanted to be kind or sympathize with Sheila. I just think you should have never led her o
The thought sent chills down Vicky's spine.She gazed straight into Tyler's eyes and boldly claimed, "All this while you've been using me to repay what you owed Sheila, haven't you? That's the reason you've always sided with her instead of me…"Vicky clearly saw Tyler's eyes darkened for her gaze had been fixed on him the whole time. It was then she knew she had guessed correctly.She subconsciously clenched her fists. 'There's no end to this man's cunningness! No, it's more accurate to call him cold-blooded and heartless!'The fact that Tyler would no longer owe Sheila and that he was willing to draw a line between them should have made Vicky happy. Instead, she was gripped by an unknown fear. To her, Tyler was too calculative, too rational, and too ruthless."Why?" Vicky asked blankly."It's simple," said Tyler. "I don't want to marry her, nor do I want to owe her forever. If I didn't do what I did, she would have used that excuse to get closer to me. Then she would fall deeper
