Tylerâs lips quivered as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he fell silent.
What was there to say? It was not like he could apologize. The deed had been done, and his apology
would not mean
anything. Besides, he had no regrets whatsoever.
Vicky stared at him. âYou tampered with the surveillance, didnât you?â
âYes.â
âAnd the servants and nannies. Theyâre all under your control, right?â
Tyler lowered his gaze. âYes.â
Since all of this was real and not a dream, she must have been unconscious when Tyler returned. No
matter how soundly
she slept, she should have felt something. Since she had to take care of Lufian, she came home every
day for meals, so
she guessed that something was added to her food.
For the past few days, she pretended to eat at home while secretly disposing of her meals. As it turned
out, her suspicions
were correct.
Vicky repeated the question she asked before. âWhy didnât you come to me?â
Tyler remained silent once again.
âDid you come here just to see the child and sleep with your ex-wife while youâre at it?â
âNo,â Tyler instinctively refuted before falling silent once more.
Exasperated by his sullen demeanor, she asked coldly, âSo, what are your plans for this child?â
There was nothing but silence.
âAre you not saying anything because you donât want to keep it?â She pressed on.
Tyler picked up on the unspoken words in her question and looked at her. âYou⦠Are you willing to
keep it?â
Vickyâs expression remained indifferent. âIf you donât want him, thatâs fine. I can raise him myselfââ
Arms wrapped around Vicky before she could finish her sentence.
Tyler held her close as he hoarsely spoke, âI didnât want to come to you at first. I was saved by
someone by chance and
only woke up three months ago. My body was so weak at the time that I couldnât come to you
immediately. I spent some
time in rehabilitation.â
Tyler first contacted Harry when he regained consciousness. It was not that he did not want to contact
Vicky immediately,
but he did not wish to face her in his weakest state.
When he realized he had been unconscious for over a year and a half, he knew their child had been
born, so he had
someone track and capture footage of her to keep tabs on her.
Eventually, he was able to get out of bed and walk again.
He knew he should not appear before her in his poor state, but he could not bear the urge to see her
any longer.
The moment he was able to leave his bed, he went to find her, only to see Harvey holding his child,
chatting and laughing
with Vicky as they walked out of the mansion.
At that moment, he remembered that night when he told her he would let her go, and that she was
finally free. It was
highly unlikely for him to survive, and he was absent for a year and a half. It was not surprising that
Vicky would be with
Harvey.
For some reason, Tyler, who was so used to doing as he pleased, could not bring himself to appear
before her.
He confided his dirty thoughts of never wanting to let her go to her and had hurt her on so many
occasions that she might
have wished that he was dead. Perhaps she wished that he would stay away, and she could have her
freedom forever.
Tyler watched Vicky from the shadows and noted she was doing well and was taking good care of their
child.
Vicky thrived in his absence.
Since he promised to let Vicky go, Tyler knew he had to keep that promise, so he kept his distance.
However, he gradually became dissatisfied with merely watching her from afar. Initially, he just wanted
to take a closer
look at her, but upon seeing her in person, he could not resist the urge to kiss her.
