During their day-to-day activities and moments of rest, Tyler was remarkably considerate and attentive
to Vicky.
Both Jennifer and Cece had shared a few lunches with Vicky, and Tylerâs care for her at the dining
table appeared meticulous.
Even though both Cece and Cece disliked Tyler to a degree, they could not find any fault in him when
he took care of Vicky so well.
Aurora, on the other hand, had a different perspective.
âDelayed affection is worthless.
Is it that meaningful to be nice to
her after all the pain he put her through?â
Aurora sat on the couch in the guest room, waiting for Vicky to finish her work so they could have lunch
together.
However, she noticed that Tyler had left Vickyâs office not long ago.
Jade, who had been diligently guarding Vicky, came over.
Surprised by Tylerâs departure, Aurora could not help but ask, âWhy did Tyler leave?â
Lately, whenever she sought Vicky out, Tyler always stayed by Vickyâs side, using the excuse of being
her bodyguard.
In
truth, he was merely trying to cling to Vicky, which was why Aurora did not expect him to leave.
Cece did not seem surprised at all.
She knew what Tyler was up to whenever Vicky came to work here and explained,
âEver since Vicky became pregnant, her appetite hasnât been great, and she canât stand strong smells.
When she dines
out, the smell of dishes from nearby tables makes her nauseous.
Mister Hart noticed that and went back early to prepare
lunch for her.â
After a brief pause, she added, âMister Hart has bought a suite near our studio specifically for preparing
Vickyâs lunches.â
Aurora was somewhat skeptical.
âIs that so? Isnât Tyler just trying to look good in front of Vicky and having his
subordinates bring back the prepared food instead?â
âI donât think so,â Cece said.
âVicky has had a poor appetite for quite a while now, and most of her meals are reportedly
prepared by Mister Hart himself.
It seems he has bought many books on womenâs pregnancy.
I saw him reading those
books the last time I went to Vickyâs office to report on work.â
Tyler could not stand idly next to Vicky when she worked outside of her office.
Hence, he would read books to pass the
time during his free time.
Most of the books he read were related to taking care of pregnant women, and he changed the
meals he prepared for Vicky daily.
Aurora detected a hint of envy in Ceceâs tone.
âDonât tell me youâve switched sides already? Have you forgotten how Tyler
treated Vicky?â
Cece cleared her throat and muttered, âPeople must look forward! Living in hatred is exhausting.
Moreover, he has been
really good to Vicky lately⦠Giving him a chance might not be a bad idea.â
Aurora knew more about Tyler than Cece did, and she could not help but feel contemptuous.
âWhat if he loses his mind
again and humiliates Vicky after she finally caves under his âgentlenessâ? What if he abandons her
again?â
Tyler had done such things many times before, and no one knew what was in his mind.
Cece fell silent for a few seconds before speaking, âHating someone isnât necessarily easier than loving
them.
Sometimes,
hatred is just a mask for love.
Maybe he wants Vicky to experience the feeling of being abandoned.
Nothing could have hit
her more profoundly than being left at the wedding ceremony.â
Emotions between people differed, even among mothers and children, husbands and wives, or friends.
It was not under
one experienced the same level of despair as the other person that they could finally see eye to eye.
Aurora pondered this for a long time.
âBut Vicky had no choice back then.
Tyler was unbearable.
If it werenât for this child,
their relationshipâ¦mightâve been irreparable by now.
Itâs almost like heâll let go of everything as soon as this baby is
conceivedâ¦â
Auroraâs voice trailed off, and realization flashed in her eyes.
