Vicky took out her phone and came close to having a heart attack from rage when she saw his only
response was a question mark.
[When are we going to file for divorce?] she texted.
In the next two hours, there was no response.
Four hours later, she finally received another text from him.
[Iâm busy.]
[When are you free?] Vicky replied.
Tyler did not respond again, even after Vicky fell asleep.
Maybe he really is busy,â Vicky thought and glanced at the clock, noticing that it was almost midnight.
Since Tyler did not even have the time to respond to her texts, she assumed he would not return home
and found consolation in that thought.
She turned off the lights and slowly drifted off to sleep.
Sometime later, she woke up to a forceful kiss, novelebook and everything felt like deja vu from the
night before.
She felt confused at first, and it took her a while before she finally realized that the man who claimed to
be so busy that he could not respond to text messages returned home. 1
When she woke up, Tyler was again nowhere to be found.
She tried calling him again, and he simply said a few words before hanging up.
She had sent countless texts, but he would reply to a few on some days and ignore them all on other
days.
Though he would return home every night, Vicky convinced herself that Tyler was truly busy during the
day.
One day, Vicky and Cece arrived at a restaurant for dinner, and Vicky realized how naive she had been
when she spotted a couple sitting by the window.
âThis man just enjoys toying with different women at the same time! How despicable!â Vicky thought to
herself angrily.
Cece noticed that novëebook Vicky was staring in a certain direction and spotted the couple as well.
âVicky, should weâ¦switch to another restaurant?â she asked gingerly.
Vicky smirked coldly. âNo.â
She had not done anything she was ashamed of, so she had nothing to fear.
With her eyes fixated on the couple, Vicky said, âCome on, letâs go and say hello.â
With that, she strode forward.
In the restaurant, nvëlx.o Gloria stared at the man sitting across the table and whispered, âAre you
trying to tell me that thereâs no connection between Issac and Vicky at all?â
âHeâs just Vickyâs customer.â
âWho claims to be her boyfriend?â Gloriaâs gaze was cold. âWho stalked and followed me home, on top
of that?â
âGloria,â Tyler said emotionlessly. âIâve looked into the contact history between Vicky and Issac.
Jennifer was the one in charge of contacting him before this, and it was after Jennifer left that Vicky
reached out to Issac to talk about compensation for breaking their contracts. He only claims to be
Vickyâs boyfriend.â
Gloriaâs usually gentle gaze sharpened as she questioned, âSo why didnât Vicky deny it? She even
invited us to dine with them!â
âShe did, actually.â Tyler looked at her. nvëlx.o âIssac, however, argued and said that they were in a
fight.â
Gloria stared at Tyler dazedly and blurted out, âTyler, you donât want a divorce anymore, do you?â
His every word seemed objective, but it was apparent he was defending Vicky.
During what happened with Alex and when Vicky accidentally burnt Gloriaâs hand, he still defended
Vicky.
Tyler scowled, but before he could respond, a figure approached them.
âWhat a coincidence. I didnât expect to see you two here.â
