Chapter 1160
Tylerâs voice was low and pleading as he continued, âI wonât do anything that will upset you again.â
Vicky shook her head. âDonât you understand? I donât love you anymore.â
Her merciless voice echoed in his head, and he tightened his grip to the point he almost snapped her
bones.
His chest heaved, and his eyes reddened as he muttered,â Thatâs fine. Youâre stuck with me forever
whether you love me or not.â
âWhat familiar words,â Vicky thought. âHe hasnât changed one bit.â
Vicky had stopped caring and smiled as she studied his face. âYou can make me stay, but you canât
make me live.â
Tyler trembled slightly. âWhat did you say?â
âEither you let go and let me leave, or you kill me and keep me here forever.â Vicky raised her head
and stared into his eyes. âTyler, you can never hold onto a woman who is determined to leave you.
Back when I wanted to leave you, you couldnât keep me. Itâs the same now.â
Vickyâs determination reminded him of that not-so-distant past, and his gaze became dazed.
Nothing seemed to have changed, and whenever she wanted to leave him, she would do so without a
hint of attachment left toward him.
Vicky gently pushed Tyler away, and Tyler-who was still in a daze and shaken by her words-did not
move to stop her.
Vicky left.
After the door closed, Avery, who was sitting on the floor, stood up.
She slowly walked over to Tylerâs side and studied his expression. Her usually cold heart unexpectedly
ached.
As an outsider, she could see that Tyler had set aside all his pride for Vickyâs side, and she could
hardly believe that he was willing to go this far for a woman.
âTyler, you canât force someone to love you,â Avery said softly. âIf sheâs determined not to be with you,
itâs better to let her go.â
Avery knew that this was the most vulnerable and opportune moment for a man, but since Tyler still
had feelings for
Vicky, she knew better than to say anything negative about Vicky.
Tyler remained motionless, showing no reaction. His long eyelashes concealed the emotions in his
eyes.
The more Avery looked at him, the more her heart stirred. She could not help but step forward and hold
onto his arm. â Tyler, obsession isnât true love sometimes. Itâs just a force of habit and the unwillingness
of letting go. Try seeing someone else, and who knowsâ¦â
Averyâs words were cut off as Tyler pushed her away mercilessly.
His thin lips parted as he spat, âGet lost.â
Avery wanted to protest, but choked on her words when she saw the sinister look in his eyes; she had
never seen such a look on anyone in the past.
Tyler did not bother to look at her again, nor did he pay her any more attention as he walked out of the
room.
Vicky moved out of the mansion where she used to live and into the apartment she had purchased
before the marriage.
Tyler did not attempt to stop her and had not appeared before her since the confrontation.
However, she was still incapable of leaving Stoneford City or buying a plane ticket.
