Jennifer might work in Vicky's studio, but since she came from an extremely wealthy family, she would often treat her colleagues to the best food in the best restaurants.After a while of being in the bar, countless empty bottles could be seen lined up on the table before the three of them.Both Jennifer and Cece were slightly drunk and started shouting the lyrics of the song that was playing.Vicky, on the other hand, excused herself to the bathroom for some fresh air.After washing her hand, she spotted a familiar figure on her way back.It was Noah.After Noah's call a few days ago, she decided to go up to him and say hello. Before she could greet herself, he sneakily took a turn and started staring into a certain room through the gap in the door.Confused, Vicky followed where he went.Noah stood in front of Room V001 — the lower the room number, the higher the status of the person who booked it.As it was a private room, there was no one else in the corridor, so Noah stoo
Tyler Hart was famously known to be a clean freak, so having a drink spilled on him was something he absolutely could not tolerate.Furrowing his brow, Tyler stood up from his seat and all the sounds in the private room immediately quieted down."Mister Hart, what happened? Is something wrong?" Someone asked gingerly.Before Tyler could speak, a woman by his side spoke in a coquettish tone, "I accidentally spilled some wine on his clothes. He's planning to go upstairs to change into something new."Everyone present were adults that had astute skills. Upon hearing these words, a hint of suggestive smiles appeared on their faces, knowing that getting changed was likely just an excuse for something else."You must feel uncomfortable with your clothes all soaked, Mister Hart. Since that's the case, why don't you hurry upstairs and change?" Someone remarked, glancing at the graceful and charming woman.Others started praising Tyler's taste. "Mister Hart, you must have excellent taste.
Vicky's response plunged Noah further into despair."I arrived before you did, Noah," Vicky said, pausing briefly before finally shifting her gaze to Noah. "I appreciate your reminder."Noah waved his hands repeatedly. "No, no. I didn't say anything. I don't know anything!"Seeing that Tyler was about to come out, Noah said urgently, "Vicky, let's go. Tyler might be coming out at any moment now.""We're not commiting the crime here," Vicky said calmly. "Why should we leave?" She quickly realized something and looked at Noah. "I suppose you can't stay here. You should leave first."Noah wailed inwardly, knowing that even if he left, Tyler would be able to find out that he was there and would still retaliate once he learned that Noah was the one who tipped Vicky off.The door was not tightly closed, and they could hear the voices and laughter coming from inside clearly.Vicky's face was extremely calm and devoid of any expression. It was near impossible to discern her emotions.I
The fight between Tyler and Vicky left Noah filled with stress.He regretted staying and realized that he should have run when he had the chance.'What if Vicky grabs my arm and blurts out saying that I'm her lover in a fit of anger?' He thought, feeling his blood run cold. 'That'll be terrifying! Tyler will definitely chop my arms off! No way! I need these arms to play violin!'Just as Noah was deep in his horror story, Tyler's cold voice sounded, "Vicky, I don't like unreasonable women."His words provoked Vicky further."Do you mean to tell me that I should accept you sleeping around out here?" She questioned.Tyler scowled, his voice turning cold. "Vicky, don't you think you have been far too unreasonable lately?""Me? Unreasonable? Tyler Hart, tell me, why exactly am I being unreasonable?"His deep, cold gaze landed on her. "Can you even stop to consider, will I really go upstairs with a woman, or will I really go to bed with her?"Vicky paused for a moment, then sneered.
Tyler interrupted her casually. "People change. A person might trip once, but they wouldn't trip at the same spot again, right?"Realizing what he was implying, she replied in a daze, "Then why bother starting over with me?""I don't have anyone I like at the moment. I may never fall in love again. It doesn't matter who is my wife at the moment, so instead of divorcing you, working on our marriage seemed like the optimum choice. However, that's based on the premise that you can fulfill your role as my wife. You know, instead of stalking me all the time and throwing tantrums over trivial matters.""So, you are saying that you are only kind and protective of me because I'm your wife. If someone else was your wife, you would have done the same for them. Is that what you are saying?"After a brief moment of silence, Tyler said coldly, "That's right. Since we've chosen to start over, that means that we've let go of the past and want to make our marriage work. I've done everything I can
Tyler remained cold. "If you stop being unreasonable, you can still be Missus Hart and I will still treat you the same."Vicky did not want to accept what he was saying, but she had reached a point where there was no denying that the reality was not as fantastic as she pictured it to be.She looked up to meet his gaze. "I can't accept this.""We might not be the one for each other, then."Vicky was about to argue, when Noah interrupted her. "Alright, Vicky. Stop bickering here where others can listen in on." He shot her a knowing look. "Let's sit down and talk about this calmly. Don't get ahead of yourself."Vicky glanced over and spotted the alluring woman by Tyler's side, who was gaping at them, clearly having figured out who Vicky was from the conversation.The woman realized that Vicky was Tyler's wife.There were countless rumors circulating about Tyler and his wife.Tyler was young, handsome, and powerful, so there was not a single woman who did not wish to marry him. Unf
Noah was rendered speechless. The whole time, Tyler had been cold and calm, so he did not seem frustrated or agitated at all.Considering his tone, he did not seem to be joking or saying things recklessly in a fit of anger either.At this point, Noah could no longer read Tyler's intention."I know him. He is not the kind of person who would bring divorce up easily. If he is mentioning it, it can only mean that... It can only mean that he is serious about it."With that truth staring them in the eyes, Noah could not bring himself to utter any word of consolation as he himself had seen Tyler with other women multiple times in the past.Since Tyler was already married to Vicky, Noah did think that Tyler's actions were inappropriate."Have you two been fighting or something? Is he doing this on purpose to annoy you?" He asked."No." Vicky smiled bitterly. "Not only have we not been fighting, we've been having a great time lately. Why else would I not know what he's been up to lately
When Vicky did not return from the washroom, both Jennifer and Cece snapped out of their drunken state. They were starting to worry that Vicky had gotten into trouble, so they hurried outside to look for her, only to run into Vicky coming their way alongside Noah."Vicky!" The two hurried over. "What took you so long? Are you okay?"Vicky could not possibly mention what happened with Tyler. "I'm fine. I just ran into Noah and chatted for a while."Cece had seen Noah before and greeted him with a smile. "Hello, Noah."Noah looked bright, casual, and charming, so Cece came to address him by his first name seeing how he was a friend of Vicky.Noah smiled at Cece. "Cece, you look even prettier as days go by."Cece chuckled. "You have become more handsome as well."After a brief exchange of pleasantry, Noah turned his attention to Jennifer, and his eyes lit up in an instant.'What a beautiful girl,' he thought. She had delicate doll-like features, a small and porcelain-like face,
