Chapter 1272
Vicky looked down and avoided his gaze.
Tyler grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms. It was so sudden that Vicky jerked, nearly falling.
They were on top of the highest building in Stoneford City. Standing there, they had a panoramic view
of the entire city.
Normally, the rooftop would be filled with people who had gone there to take in the city view. However,
the storm dampened their plans, so the entire rooftop was vacant.
Tyler was standing at the best spot for viewing, but it was also the most dangerous spot. Even with the
railing, it was dangerous on account of the howling wind and heavy rain. With every move he made, he
seemed about to fall. Vicky did not have a fear of heights, but even she was starting to get vertigo.
âTylerâ¦. What do you want to do?â Vicky could not help but think back to the car accident last time. âIs
he still thinking of us dying together?
Tyler stared into the distance. âThe view here is nice, isnât it?â
âThe wind is getting stronger⦠Why donât we go down now?â Vicky asked shakily.
Tyler, however, remained standing. âMy mind feels so clear when I stand here.â
He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her tighter to him. The coldness and dampness from
his body soaked through Vickyâs clothes, causing her to shudder.
Tyler noticed this. He looked down at her and asked, âWhatâs the matter?â âIâm very cold.â Vicky wanted
to coax him to come down, but Tyler just hugged her even more tightly.
âIs this better?â His thin lips grazed her ear, bringing with it a kind of weird icy feeling.
His grip around her was strong, making it impossible for her to escape from the iron-clad prison. They
were so close that she could hear the strong beating of his heart.
âYeahâ¦â replied Vicky.
Tylerâs deep voice rang in the air again, but this time, it sounded distant due to the howling wind.
âWhy did you lie to me? Are you worried I wonât agree to the divorce if you tell me the truth?â
âNo,â said Vicky, choosing her words carefully. âI just thought it was pointless to tell you all those things
because they were in the pastâ¦and it wasnât like the things I did tell you were lies either.â
She had her reasons for not bringing up the past. For them, that period was no longer a symbol of
better days but of pain hidden in their hearts. Vicky felt her heart ripped apart whenever it was brought
up.
Tylerâs deep, cold voice sounded from above her head again. âThey were all in the past? Do those
memories mean so little to you? Or could it be⦠youâve never even liked me before, and thatâs why you
donât want to think about that time of your life? Did you have a hidden agenda for marrying me?â
âI didnât!â Vicky could not hold back anymore. âI really did like you; I wouldnât even be with you
otherwise! Weâ¦â
âIf you did like me, why did you insist on bringing up the matter of divorce when you knew the only
reason I was hospitalized was because of you?â interrupted Tyler.
Vicky did not know how to answer him. After all, their past could not be explained in just a couple of
sentences. She was also afraid of triggering him, so it was best to keep her mouth shut.
However, after a few seconds of silence, she said softly, âThe wind is too strong here. Come back with
me, and Iâll tell you everything.â
She pulled Tylerâs hand gently, but he remained unmoving.
âDid you have a change of heart? Or was there someone else?â he asked harshly.
Vicky knew Tyler had mistakenly thought she and Harvey were together, and he would not believe her
no matter how many times otherwise. They would not be here if it were not for this.
