âIs that all you wanted to tell me?â asked Tyler.
âThereâs moreâ¦â
However, before she could say anything else, she heard Tylerâs secretary saying, âMister Tyler,
everyoneâs waiting for you in the meeting room. You may go now.â
âOkay. I got it.â
After that, there was the sound of papers rustling.
âAre you going to a meeting?â
âYeah.â
âThen whenâs a good time to call you back?â
âVicky,â said Tyler suddenly.
âYes?â
âI know what you wanted to say.â
âYou knew?â she asked in shock.
âI have a sense of whatâs going on, sort of.â
Vicky heard the sound of the door opening.
âThis matter isnât really that serious to me, so just focus on the wedding planning. We can talk about
this after the wedding.â
Tyler sounded so calm that Vicky did not know how to react.
âI have to go to the meeting now. Talk to you later,â he said in a rush.
He then hung up the phone without waiting for Vickyâs response.
â¦
As time passed, the news of Tyler and Vicky getting married spread like wildfire.
Avery got to know the wedding date from Old Mister Hart. Even though she felt comforted by her
motherâs words, she could not help but fly into a jealous rage at the thought of Tyler getting married to
Vicky.
In fact, she would not be so angry if Tyler was getting married to someone else other than Vicky! No
woman had ever made Avery feel such a threat. Thus, she wished very badly that the wedding would
not go on. She decided to do a paternity test for the baby in her womb days before the wedding.
âMaybe the reason Tyler doesnât want to marry me is because heâs not sure whether the baby is his.
Heâll surely care about the baby once the DNA test confirms heâs the father!â
Avery felt a little better after thinking that way.
âNo! Impossible! This canât be!â Avery kept shaking her head. She could not accept the truth at all.
Alana, who had come with her daughter to get the result, had a foreboding feeling when she saw how
pale and shocked Avery was.
âAvery, whatâs the matter? Have you gotten the result?â
Avery looked dazedly at Alana with trembling eyes.
âImpossible. The baby has to be Tylerâsâ¦â she kept on muttering.
Alanaâs face changed when she heard that. âDoes that mean the babyâs father is Lincoln?â
Avery did not even think of the possibility that the babyâs father might be Lincoln, so she did not test for
it. In her heart, it was either Tyler or someone else other than Lincoln.
âMom! Tyler will never marry me now!â Avery looked at her mother in wide-eyed horror. âWhat should I
do now? The baby isnât Tylerâsâ¦â
