Chapter 452: Chapter 454

“Yes.”

Vicky smiled coldly. “She is back. You know that, right?”

Tyler’s eyebrow twitched slightly. “I do.”

“Since the woman you love is back, her substitute should get out of the picture. Have you…not

considered rekindling the romance with her?”

Tyler looked away for a split second before regaining his composure.” Since I’ve already chosen you, I

won’t choose another.”

She chuckled. “I don’t think you’re determined not to choose another…but that she might not pick you,

right? If she chooses to be with you, will you still say those words?”

He moved his lips to speak but fell into silence in the end.

Vicky understood what he meant and kept her eyes trained on him, despite the sorrow within her.

“Tyler, there isn’t a woman on earth who enjoys being with a married man. I know that you feel

uncertain if she will be with you even if you divorce me…but I can tell you that she’ll never be with you

for as long as you’re married to me. You’ll still stand a chance if you divorce me, but if you don’t…” She

paused and stared into his eyes. “You won’t stand a chance at all.”

The look in his eyes darkened, and neither of them was willing to look away.

He remained expressionless and said, “So what?”

“You might not care about my feelings, but…don’t you care about how she feels?”

“Why should I care?” he retorted.

Vicky froze.

“Why should I care about someone who doesn’t care about me?” Tyler continued coldly.

Never in Vicky’s wildest dreams did she imagine Tyler would say such a thing.

Seemingly aware of her thoughts, he asked, “Am I that cheap a man in your eyes?”

“But…” Vicky muttered, “If you don’t care about her, why did you keep the things she gave you?”

He paused and fell into silence once again when he thought of the items Vicky found in his study.

“Tyler, you’re just trying to fool yourself.’ Vicky felt both amused and heartbroken at the realization that

the almighty man was running from reality.

“Vicky, did you really think that I’d divorce you simply because of what you said?” He questioned. “Love

is replaceable in my world, and I can survive without anyone. As for her… From the day she

abandoned me, she lost the right to have my attention.”

Realization dawned on her. “So, did you marry me…to spite her? Was that your way of telling her that

you can survive without her? Or…did you marry me simply because we’re relatives and I look like her?”

Tyler scanned her in contempt. “You’ve overestimated yourself.” No longer wishing to continue the

subject, he brought over another tray. “Vicky, this is your last chance. Are you eating on your own, or do

you need me to feed you?”

She looked away. “I’m not eating.”

His lips curled into a sneer. “If you don’t feel like eating, let’s do something else, then.” He then lowered

his head and captured her lips.
