Loving You In Secret (Vicky and Tyler) novel Chapter 1701

Tyler returned late at night and assumed Vicky had gone to sleep. However, when he pushed open the bedroom door and saw the familiar figure sitting on the couch, he narrowed his eyes.

"Why is she not asleep?" he asked Jade, his brow furrowed. "Is she unwell again?"

"No," Jade replied softly. "Ms. Shaw said she's not very sleepy right now."

Tyler nodded gently. "You can o rest."

Approaching Vicky, he noticed that she was reading a book. His gaze landed on the book in her hands—a book he bought about pregnancy care. His eyes sparkled with a hint of emotion, and his voice softened. "How do you feel today?"

Vicky did not look up from her book. "I can carry this child to term."

Tyler abruptly turned his gaze toward her, his eyes piercing to the extent that she could feel them on her.

Setting the book aside, she met the man's deep, dark eyes. "After the child is born, I will entrust him to you. From then on, we will sever all connections."

The warmth in his eyes, which had been so intense moments ago, vanished immediately. "What do you mean?"

"Last time, you said our grievances would end here," Vicky replied calmly. "I know you want to keep this child, so I will entrust him to you. But from now on, we will be strangers."

Tyler furrowed his brow. "Strangers? Do you want the child to grow up without a mother?"

"You've misunderstood me," Vicky said slowly. "We will be strangers to each other, but I still have the right to visit my child."

Tyler finally understood what she meant, and he smiled coldly. "Is being with me that uncomfortable for you?"

Vicky looked into his eyes. "Tyler Hart, have you forgotten everything you did to me? Do you want me to pretend that nothing happened and continue to be with you?"

"Why not?" Tyler looked at her in the same way. "I could pretend nothing happened back then, so why can't you do the same now?"
