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,
Noah would not have risked his life to agree to Vicky's invitation.Cece glanced at the two and said, "Jennifer and Noah seem like a good match. It's way better than to let her waste time on that jerk, Anthony."Vicky knew Noah and that he was a great man. "Cece, should we tell Jennifer?""About what?" Cece asked in confusion."That Noah likes her."Vicky can't stop Noah from pursuing Jennifer as it was his right to do so, but she could inform Jennifer about it to avoid her from feeling awkward. Plus, if she was not interested, it could save Noah from the embarrassment."I don't think that's necessary," Cece said. "Noah is a great guy and Jennifer has already wasted enough time on Anthony. It's about time that she steps out of her comfort zone to meet other men. Maybe she'll finally stop being so stubborn. Besides..." Cece lowered her voice. "Jennifer may look cheerful on the outside, but I actually haven't seen her laugh like this for the longest time. If Noah can make her laugh
The look in Anthony's eyes darkened.At this point, Noah finally grasped the situation and realized that yet another woman he was interested in had a complicated relationship with her ex.Noah felt as though the world was against him no matter what he tried to do.Since everyone was watching, he did not deny anything and simply stood quietly.Years ago, he greatly suffered the backlash of pretending to be Vicky's boyfriend because he did not look into Tyler's background ahead of time.'And now...' He thought while staring at Anthony. 'I can't be that unlucky to run into the same kind of lunatic twice, right? A man should always be bold in the pursuit of what he wants.'His mood greatly improved at the thought, but at that time, he was unaware that he would soon come to regret his choice that day. Sadly, it was possible for lightning to strike the same place twice…"Jennifer!" Anthony's voice resonated in the surrounding area. "I've already made it clear to Lily that I won't marr
"Must be from overwork or something. I came looking for you as soon as I landed in Stoneford City, so I haven't been getting enough rest."A heart attack could be a potential risk for those who exhausted themselves for a prolonged period of time, so Jennifer instantly started panicking."We need to send you to a hospital to get checked. Let's hope nothing is wrong."Anthony, on the other hand, stared at her steadily with his dark eyes. "You still care about me, Jennifer."She froze and realization dawned on her. "Were you faking it?!"She angrily shoved Anthony away, but he held onto her arm tightly. "Jennifer, let's talk."Her expression hardened. "Let. Go. Of. Me.""Jennifer..."Cece interrupted him. "Jennifer, maybe you should talk to him, so that he won't bother you anymore in the future."Jennifer was soft-hearted, and Anthony had grown up with her; judging from the recent situation, he clearly knew exactly what to do to manipulate her.Despite Jennifer's tough refusal,
[Are you alright?]She glanced at the phone number on the screen and a gloomy look appeared in her eyes.It must be from the man who refused to give her his name, and he had left her his number on the day he paid.She glided her fingers across the screen and replied. [When did you find out?][Early on.][You found out when I chose him over you, right?] She typed.[Yes.]Vicky stared at the message carefully and replied. [Have you been helping me all these years?][Does it matter?] The man replied.[Yes.]There was a ten-minute gap until the man finally replied. [I have.]Vicky was not shocked or surprised after reading the message. After all, she's been suspecting this person for the longest time. She just never heard him outwardly prove her right.Vicky stared at the screen of her phone and typed. [I'm sorry, but even in that case, I won't help you.][It's alright.] The mysterious man seemed unconcerned. [I understand your predicament.]A mix of complex emotions surfaced
