After finishing that sentence, Tyler closed his eyes and fell silent.Vicky waited for a moment. Once she was certain Tyler was asleep before wiping the sweat from her forehead.She felt fortunate that she had asked these questions when he was drunk, or she would have invited his suspicions.The next day, when Vicky came downstairs, she found Tyler sitting in the living room reading a newspaper.He spotted her and instructed a servant, "Bring breakfast."Tyler did not ask about the events of the previous night, nor did he mention the topics they discussed as if he had forgotten.During breakfast, the two of them did not engage in much of a conversation. It was not until they finished eating that Tyler suddenly spoke. "Pack your bags. We're going to Yudonia this afternoon."Vicky looked at him and asked, "Are you going on another business trip?""Sort of," he replied.Vicky was not quite sure what he meant by 'sort of', but she did not press further as she did not intend to acc

Tyler's question caught Adam off-guard. He hesitated, unsure of how to explain. "It's because...""Because our relationship wasn't that great back then," Vicky chimed in. "We didn't meet often, and maybe Adam has forgotten about me. As for me, I... I didn't have much to say to Adam."Tyler looked at Vicky. "Why didn't you get along?"Vicky smiled and replied, "Well, it's because Adam always reminded me not to have any unrealistic fantasies about you."Tyler studied her for a moment, seemingly believing her explanation, and did not press the matter further.Due to a long day of travel and Tyler's scheduled appointments for the next day, he did not do anything to Vicky that night, and they went to bed early....The next day, Tyler woke Vicky up very early."Get up and get ready." Tyler was already dressed perfectly.Vicky checked the time and found that it was only half past five.Lately, she had been quite the sleepyhead. Normally, she could get by with seven to eight hours o

Mister and Missus Wade, who appeared to be in their early forties, were fluent in multiple languages."Mister Hart is quite thoughtful," Missus Wade remarked upon overhearing Vicky and Tyler's conversation.Vicky smiled politely in response but did not say much.The restaurant's ambiance was pleasant, and the food was exceptional.Since they were here, they had to try the restaurant's specialty dishes. Each specialty dish was served individually to keep up the pleasant atmosphere.As the dishes arrived, the group engaged in casual conversation while enjoying their meal. The restaurant lived up to its reputation, and every dish was delicious.Vicky spotted a vegetable dish with a texture she liked but did not have it on her plate.Suddenly, Tyler placed a portion of it on her plate, and she turned to shoot him a puzzled look."Eat more. If you eat so little at every meal, it would look like I'm mistreating you," he said.Vicky hesitated for a moment and grew slightly uneasy, bu

"Yes, but your face was blurred in the photos. Other than those who know you, no one should know who you are," Aurora added. "However, because of Avery's various cheating scandals, everyone is quite supportive of Tyler having a new girlfriend. They don't want a handsome, influential guy like him to be ruined by someone like Avery."Vicky held her phone in silence.Tyler's change in attitude toward her had been evident. He no longer ordered her around, and he stopped pushing her into anything she did not want to do.When he said he was taking her out to have fun, he was genuinely focused on making sure she enjoyed herself.Sometimes, Vicky could not help but feel like she was developing Stockholm Syndrome and felt uncomfortable at the slightest display of kindness from Tyler."Vicky, if... I mean if..." Aurora's voice came through the phone again. "If Tyler still likes you and wants to be with you, would you be willing to be with him again?"Vicky held the phone tighter. "I don't

Helen planned to expand into the Eastern market and said, "I'd like you to try it on, Ms. Shaw. If it suits you well, I'd like your help to gain publicity." To avoid any misunderstandings, she added, "If you don't like being filmed, we can just post a few photos on social media."As fellow designers in the industry, Vicky could not bring herself to refuse her sincere request."Alright. I'll give it a try, then."Helen was delighted. "I'll help you into the dress."Vicky looked at Tyler. "I'll go try the dress on now, then."Tyler nodded gently. "Sure."...In the dressing room.It took them half an hour to put on the wedding dress. It was then Helen noticed the necklace around Vicky's neck, and her eyes widened."Oh? Is this the legendary 'First Love' necklace?"Vicky looked at the necklace around her neck. "You know about it?""Of course!" Helen exclaimed. "This necklace is considered the true embodiment of love. Even before it appeared in the public eye, it was tagged with
