However, Vicky could not be bothered to think much of it at this point.
Tyler was a terrible human being, and she was foolish for taking care of him. Had she not done so, she
would not have suffered such a fate.
She sat still in bed for a while before getting up to shower.
Bruises and marks littered her skin. It was almost as though Tyler was trying to make up for the years
they were apart.
By the time she stepped out of the shower and headed downstairs to eat, the sky had turned dark.
The servant spotted her and said respectfully, âMs. Shaw, dinner is ready.â
She nodded. âThank you.â
The servant smiled. âYouâre welcome.â
After the servant left, Vicky sat alone in the dining room to eat.
The servant was recently hired and was clearly taken aback when she first saw Vicky and Tyler.
The news about Tyler and Avery caused quite a commotion; everyone knew about it. Tylerâs carefully
crafted image of a loyal man in public had always been a topic of conversation. However, all that
affection and persona seemed to be nothing but a facade. Just like other wealthy and powerful men,
Tyler, too, had side-chicks.
Vickyâs mind was filled with various thoughts even as she ate.
She did not know what triggered it, but she suddenly felt a wave of nausea. Unable to hold back, she
rushed to the bathroom to throw up.
Lately, her mood had been terrible, and she had no appetite for anything. However, not eating meant
she would not have the energy to deal with Tyler, so she forced herself to eat.
In the end, she concluded that she might be vomiting because she was in a bad mood after her visit to
the hospital.
After rinsing her mouth, Vicky washed her face and stared at her pale face reflected in the mirror.
Suddenly, it occurred to her that her period was about a week late.
âAm Iâ¦pregnant? When I was with Tyler, weâ¦didnât use any contraception. I didnât even take any pills.â
Back when she and Tyler were newlyweds, she suffered a miscarriage due to her fragile health. The
doctor mentioned that she had not recuperated well enough, which might lead to difficulties in future
pregnancies. Tyler sought medical help for her, but despite his efforts, there was no positive progress.
That was why, throughout their time together, Vicky never used any contraceptive methods. Over time,
she just did not think much about it.
Her sudden nausea seemed too much of a coincidence.
Doubts surfaced in Vickyâs mind, but she was not quite worried yet. Tyler had tried seeking medical
advice before to solve her infertility and had found no solution, so she had not actively taken any
medication either.
It seemed unlikely she would miraculously get pregnant. However, since there was a hint of suspicion,
Vicky decided she would buy a pregnancy test tomorrow, just to be sure.
Under the lights, Averyâs eyes sparkled as she gazed at the handsome man sitting across from her.
âTyler, this restaurant is nice, isnât it?â
Tyler scanned the surroundings. âDid you reserve the entire place?â
âYes.â Avery studied Tyler softly. âWe havenât had a meal alone in quite a while.â
No emotions could be seen on Tylerâs face, and his expression remained aloof.
