Tyler sneered. âItâs the truth.â
â⦠But I donât remember.â
âDo you really not remember, or are you just pretending like you donât?â
Enraged by his confronting tone, she said, âI have no reason to lie to you.â
âItâs not like youâve never lied to me before.â
She suddenly recalled how Noah reacted when he saw Tyler the day before. He seemed terrified and
guilty, which was clearly strange.
âI ran into Noah outside the concert venue. I was following you around yesterday, so why would I go on
a date with Noah at the same time?
Besides, Noah ran as soon as he saw you⦠I didnât even get his number.â
Tyler stared at her for some time, and the tension on his face eased when he decided that she was not
lying.
âDonât meet with him ever again.â
Her eyes widened as she looked at the man before her. âTyler, you donât want a divorce anymore, do
you?â
As dull as she might be, she could sense that Tyler was avoiding the divorce.
Tyler was not the kind of man who would go back on his word. If he was reluctant to get a divorce,
there were plenty of ways he could get his way, and there was no point for him to agree to the divorce
only to regret it later.
Vicky assumed that something might have happened between Tyler and Gloria.
Judging from Tylerâs insistence on coming home every single night to sleep with her, Vicky came to
conclude that Tyler might be upset that Gloria was far too conservative.
Hence, when she spotted Tyler and Gloria the night before, she decided to be the villain to give them a
chance. On top of that, she reminded Gloria that even if Tyler did not love her, she was his legal wife
and had the right to slap any woman who dared to seduce her husband.
Considering how prideful Gloria was, she would surely be devastated and would likely hold onto the
chance to be with Tyler while he consoled her.
However, Tyler returned home, which led Vicky to wonder if something had gone wrong.
âAs the almighty CEO of Hart Corporation and the most successful businessman of your generation,
you wouldnât break your own promise, would you?â Vicky smiled. âOr have you fallen in love with the
woman who abandoned you all those years agoâ¦and hence donât want to get a divorce? â
Her words seemed to have provoked him, and the look in his eyes darkened.
âI do love you,â he drawled.
Vicky froze.
He smirked and whispered into her ear, âBut itâs your body that I love.â
Her expression darkened.
Tyler immediately lowered his head to capture her lips.
His kiss was not fierce but extremely gentle with a hint of wilfulness as though she belonged to him,
that he was entitled to do as he pleased with her.
She tried to shove him away, but he would not budge.
Sensing her resistance, he locked fingers with her, and before she had the chance to react, she was
overwhelmed by his presence.
Once it all ended, Tyler lazily buttoned up his shirt and glanced at Vicky, who lied in bed with a dazed
look on her face.
âYou said I disgust you, didnât you?â he mocked.
Vicky flinched and turned to look into his eyes.
âYou sure didnât act like you were disgusted.â
âYou have no shame!â She glared daggers at him.
He chuckled darkly and headed into the bathroom before coming out again shortly after.
Vicky was fully dressed by then and blurted out as she looked at him,â When are we going to file for
divorce?â
He narrowed his eyes and turned to look at her.
