Loving You In Secret (Vicky and Tyler) novel 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, 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.
