Vicky and Harvey knew that their chances of meeting again would be scarce from this point onward.
Vicky swiftly left the hospital room.
A chill breeze swept through the doorway, leaving the ward feeling cold and empty.
Seated in Tylerâs car, Vicky silently stared out at the passing scenery through the window.
Just then, Tylerâs voice interrupted Vickyâs thoughts. âGo back to your apartment and pack your
belongings.â
Vickyâs mind was elsewhere, and she did not quite hear what Tyler said. âWhat?â
Tylerâs gaze darkened, his tone chilly. âPack your essentials.
Move them to the mansion.â
âThereâs no need for all that trouble,â Vicky replied with a nonchalant expression. âI can just buy new
ones.â
âNot everything can be replaced.â Tylerâs tone brooked no argument. âFirst, pack up the basics.
Tomorrow, Iâll arrange for someone to move your belongings.â
âMove?â Vickyâs brow furrowed. âWhy would I need to move my belongings?â
âThat will be your new residence.â
âIâll be staying there.â Vickyâs gaze turned cold. âBut thereâs no need to move.â
Tyler chuckled softly. âVicky, do you not want to move because you believe you still have a chance to
regain your freedom?â
Vickyâs eyes widened slightly. âI just donât want the hassle.â
âIs it really about avoiding trouble, or is there another reason for this?â
â⦠No.â
âGood, then.â Tyler drove expressionlessly. âItâs best if there isnât, but if you do anything to anger me
again, donât blame me for not showing mercy.â
Vicky fell silent.
In the end, Tyler did not force her to move. Instead, he drove back to the mansion.
The mansionâs courtyard had been tidied up once more. Vicky looked at the familiar mansion before
her, but her chest tightened.
This place had once been their marital home, but it turned into a place for Tyler to confine her.
In the past few days, she had not shown up at the hospital as she had been trapped in the mansion.
Tyler seemed to have some free time, and he stayed in the mansion for the past few days, so she had
no option but to stay with him.
Vicky could guess why Tyler disallowed her from visiting
Harvey at the hospital immediately: Tyler was intentionally leaving Harvey hanging for a few days. With
Harveyâs intelligence, he would not fail to comprehend the reason for Vickyâs absence.
Upon returning to the bedroom, Tyler pressed her against the door and started kissing her. Vicky
understood that, to Tyler, she was just a companion in bed, but the past few days had worn her out
both physically and mentally.
Amid their kisses, Vicky gently pushed him away. âI havenât showered. Let me shower firstâ¦â
âItâs fine,â he mumbled. âWe can shower together later.â
Vicky fell silent. After a few minutes, she could not help but say, âIâm not feeling so well. Can we do this
tomorrow?â
Tylerâs movement paused, and he lowered his gaze at her.
The look in his eyes was scorching, and Vicky could not help but look away.
âWhatâs wrong? Are you not in the mood because you saw Harvey?â
Vicky parted her lips and muttered, âThese past few days⦠Iâm just really tired and want to rest for a
day.â
Sure enough, Vicky looked exhausted.
