Chapter 971

Author: Debbie Meza
Tyler's tone was oppressive and overbearing, giving her no chance to refuse.

Vicky thought it was ridiculous. She looked at the man and asked coldly, "Why should I?"

'Why should I listen to him when we have nothing to do with each other anymore?' Vicky thought to herself.

Tyler looked down at her and answered, "Because I said so. You have no other choice."

Vicky would have listened to Tyler if he had told her that it was because he hated Lincoln and did not want her to get dragged into their family's conflict. After all, her relationship with Tyler was really complicated. Not to mention both Valencia and Orion really hated her too. So, to be on the safe side, it would be best if she did not get involved in their family affairs.

However, she did not like his tone. It was as if she was still nothing but his plaything even though they were divorced. The thought of it made her sick to the stomach.

"And what if I refuse?"

Tyler's eyes became even colder but his tone remained i

    Vicky was not surprised that Tyler would say something like that. He was exactly the kind of person. However, even so, her face still went pale when she heard that. "Are you telling me that, even if we're divorced and you've remarried, I still cannot be with someone else?" "I have no plans to remarry." 'That's not the point! The point is he's still trying to control me even though we're divorced. What's the point of getting a divorce from him if he still gets to dictate what I can and cannot do while he can do whatever the hell he wants?!' thought Vicky. "As long as I haven't remarried, I'll feel uncomfortable seeing my ex-wife with another man. When I feel uncomfortable, there's no saying what I'll do… So, if you don't want anyone to get hurt, it's best to stay off men for the moment," said Tyler coldly. The good-tempered Vicky finally lost it. She glared at him coldly and said, "You have no right to control me anymore! Tyler Hart, do you seriously think that I can't do anyt

    Finally, Tyler lost his patience. He scooped Vicky up to stop her from making any big movements. Previously, Tyler's embrace was one of Vicky's happy places. However, right now, it only gave her unimaginable pain and suffering to the extent that she needed to rely on sleeping pills to fall asleep at night. During the day, she put on a mask to hide the sadness and emptiness in her heart. How could she not be in pain? How could she not be suffering? Just when she had finally decided to let go of the past, wanting to start over with him again, and look forward to living a happy life with him… he went and told her he did not want to be with her anymore. The truth hit her out of the blue, and she was not that strong. It took her some time to accept it. However, no matter how much of a bastard or scumbag he was, Vicky had to admit to herself that she still loved him. Tyler carried her into the car. As soon as he let her go, Vicky tried to get out of the car. Tyler must have anticipat

    The air immediately became thick with tension once the question was out of Vicky's mouth. No matter how obtuse she was, she could sense something was not right with Tyler. 'He was the one who asked for the divorce so why is he doing this to me?' Vicky thought. After a few seconds of silence, Tyler finally said, "Perhaps you're right. It'll be unfair to you if I ask you to stay away from other men when I'm not your husband anymore." He reached out his hand and gently brushed her lips with his fingers. "I have an idea. You can be my lover and we'll treat each other just like we did before. What do you think?" It took a long while for Vicky to process what he just said. "Tyler, is this another one of your ways of taking revenge on me?" she asked with shock. 'He was the one who forced me into getting a divorce with him and now he wants me to be his secret lover? Is this my karma for heartlessly dumping him in the past?' thought Vicky. "Revenge?" Tyler did not seem to agree with

    However, Vicky did not have the right to blame Tyler. She had hurt him badly when she made the wrong choice in the past. She felt even guiltier after she learned about the inhumane torture he was put under by his own parents. That was why she agreed to the divorce so easily even though it looked like he was the one who forced her into it. She owed him that much, but she had no intention to owe him forever. On the day of their divorce, she told herself that that would be the end of their grievances and that it was time to wipe the slate clean. She had no idea whether she would be able to let bygones be bygones, but she sure as hell was going to try. It was either that or to live forever in the past. Tyler chuckled dryly. "Wow. Such big words from a small girl. Do you think you can talk to me like that just because you have Lincoln on your side? My oh my. Vicky, you're delusional if you think he can help you. Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but he will never help you. In fact, don

    "You wanted to avenge me?" Vicky walked to the window and looked out at the boundless night sky. "Then why didn't you tell me who you were beforehand? Surely you must be aware of what your parents think of me." "Vicky, it's true that my parents have some misunderstanding about you. That's why I brought you over so that I can help you clear up the misunderstanding." "Well, if you can call making your mother so angry that she passed up as an attempt to clear our misunderstanding..." Lincoln replied in a remorseful tone, "I'm sorry. I didn't know she would get so worked up. It's my fault for not thinking it through. She woke up earlier and I've already explained everything to her, so there's no more understanding between the two of you." "Really?" Vicky did not really believe him. The vibe between two people could be a tricky thing. Take Valencia for example. She had disliked Vicky the moment she laid eyes on her, and no matter what the latter did, she would never change her opi

    "I'm feeling fine. It's just my old body acting up again," replied Valencia. After a few rounds of small talk, Vicky finally said, "I would like to apologize for ruining your birthday party last night, Missus Hart." Valencia smiled, but the smile did not seem sincere. "Don't worry about it. Lincoln has already explained everything to me, so I know it was all just a misunderstanding." Valencia had always spoken harshly to her and the fact that she would say something like this to Vicky now meant that she was really trying her best to be nicer to her. 'I wonder what Lincoln said to her to make her change her opinion of me,' thought Vicky. With that thought in mind, Vicky started to say, "Tyler and I…" Valencia interjected, "I'm getting on with age and have no more energy to be involved in you youngsters' affairs. Since Lincoln chose you, I have nothing to say. However, I hope you won't mind me giving you some advice. A real woman is loyal to her man, so don't be like Lincoln'

    Tyler tortured Vicky with anything and everything he could possibly come up with because he wanted to take revenge on her. Meanwhile, Lincoln was the one who helped her and gave her hope when she was at her most helpless. Therefore, logically speaking, Vicky should trust Lincoln more than she trusted Tyler. However, for some reason, she just could not help but be wary of the man standing before her. Thus, it was not that she was ungrateful to him, it was just… "Mister Lincoln…" said Vicky before he cut her off. "You don't want to keep in contact with me anymore, right?" Vicky fell silent. "Is it because Tyler and I are adversaries? Even if the two of you are divorced, you still care about his feelings?" Vicky replied instinctively, "No. I just don't want to get involved in a fight between two brothers." Lincoln smiled mockingly. "Brothers? When did he ever see me as his brother? Vicky, I'm assuming that he's… harassing you again, isn't he?" Vicky's face tensed up, and t

    Aurora was rendered speechless. After a while, she carefully asked, "Then… when would be a good time for you?" "End of the year." Aurora's eyes lit up at his answer. "Okay. End of the year it is." Lincoln quickly pulled Vicky into the empty lounge the moment Tyler and Aurora walked out of the elevator. The door to the lounge was left slightly ajar so that they could hear the sound of their footsteps and what they were talking about. Vicky had already learned from Valencia that Tyler was about to get engaged. However, her heart still tightened subconsciously when she heard the news of engagement from Tyler's lips. Soon, Tyler pushed open the door to Valencia's ward and entered with Aurora. Their voices disappeared as soon as they went in, and the hospital corridor fell into a deathly silence. After a while, Lincoln's voice broke the silence. He did not say anything to add insult to injury. Instead, he simply said, "Vicky, let me walk you out." Vicky nodded. "Okay."

    [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

    "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.
