Chapter 886
Gloria looked at Vicky and drawled, "Actually...I've always been your substitute."
Gloria had always been proud and was unwilling to admit certain things, even though she knew them to be true deep down.
She finally reached a point where she was willing to acknowledge the truth, which showed just how disheartened she was.
"In fact, I sensed this many years ago. Back then, when he had just returned to Zendonia and pursued me... Whenever we went out to eat, he always liked to sit beside me and look at me from the side. When he looked at me, there'd be occasional moments of distraction in his eyes, as if he was seeing someone else through me. His gaze was so focused to the point that I couldn't resist falling for him... But deep down, I managed to keep my guard up and never accepted him... Well, you know what happened next."
Gloria laughed bitterly. "I don't want to admit that Tyler never liked me. When I heard that your married life isn’t going too well, I came back. As a result, I've made a fool out of myself."
Vicky listened silently, unsure of what to say. Gloria clearly saw Vicky as the winner in the situation, and Vicky knew that any attempt to console Gloria would only sound like she was gloating.
"Don't get too excited just yet, though." Gloria stared deeply into Vicky's eyes, her eyes sparkling with emotions. "Given how you treated him back then, he'll never forgive you.
Vicky, I advise you to stay away from him, or else...you'll end up even more miserable than I am right now. Here's a secret I want to tell you... Back then, Tyler didn't make a mistake when he looked for the woman playing piano in that garden. He was looking for you, that's true, but due to my misunderstanding, both you and Tyler thought he had made a mistake. I know you don't really care about this, but my point is that even though Tyler thought he owes me, he still showed me no mercy.
"Also, about that promise you made to never play the piano again, I was just frustrated at the time, so I didn't expect you to actually give up playing.
"Vicky, you can continue playing the piano now. The debt between us...has been cleared."
After leaving the airport, Harvey offered to take Vicky home, and she did not refuse.
She sat in the passenger's seat and stared out the window blankly without a word.
