Chapter 1690


    On this particr night, however, Tyler dawdled over dinner, taking about an hour to finish his meal. He


    showed no intention of leaving even when he was done. Instead, he entered the bathroom to take a


    shower.


    An ominous premonition crept into Vicky’s heart as she observed him.


    It did not take long for her premonition to prove true. Tyler changed into a set of pajamas, made a


    phone call, and instructed the bodyguards that they could leave first. Before long, he sat down on the


    couch and began reading a book.


    It seemed he was not nning to leave.


    When they were in the same room, Tyler did not restrict her movements. However, he did not initiate


    any conversation and remained engrossed in his book.


    Vicky nced at the books on his side of the table and found they were all rted to pregnant women,


    pregnancy, and prenatal care.


    For some reason, Vicky felt like she was struggling to breathe. She slowly got out of bed and moved


    towards the balcony.


    The cool breeze brushed past her, and it seemed to alleviate the suffocating feeling. It was almost


    summer, and the evening breeze did not feel cold. Instead, it felt refreshing.


    Leaning against the second-floor balcony railing, she looked into the distance and absentmindedly


    touched her abdomen.


    Tyler had made it obvious he wanted to keep this child.


    ‘But what about me? Do I want to give birth to this child?’ she thought.


    Tyler had numerous means at his disposal, but she was the one carrying the child. She had countless


    ways to terminate the pregnancy, especially when the fetus was unstable, if she wanted to.


    However, going to the hospital for an abortion drained all her strength and courage, so she did not have


    the heart to get rid of this child again.


    Still, every time she thought of this child being born an illegitimate child, she felt like she would


    suffocate from the sorrow within her.


    She was torn, confused, and unable to find a definitive answer.


    She did not know how long she had been standing there, but she began to feel a little tired.

    As she tried to go back inside, she realized that her legs had gone numb, and her body swayed


    uncontrobly.


    Vicky was startled and instinctively grabbed the balcony railing to steady herself.


    By the time she regained her senses, she was covered in cold sweat.


    “What are you doing, Vicky?!” Tyler roared.


    Simultaneously, Vicky was forcefully pulled toward him.


    Before she could say anything, he pinched her chin and asked with a gloomy expression, “Speak,


    Vicky Shaw! What were you trying to do?”


    Seemingly on the verge of losing control, Tyler’s fingers exerted immense force, causing her to


    grimace.


    His gaze grew increasingly menacing and terrifying as he gritted out, “You want to get rid of my child


    this way since surgery is not an option?”


    He clearly misunderstood her intention and continued, “Vicky Shaw, you’re the most heartless and


    ruthless woman I’ve ever seen! How could you try to murder your own child?”


    Finally, he released his grip on her chin and dragged her back to the bedroom. Although he was in a


    state of fury, he still retained some semnce of reason. He handled her with less force this time as he


    chained her back onto the bed.


    At this moment, Vicky’s emotions began to settle. She observed Tyler, whose chest heaved irregrly


    due to anger, and finally spoke, “Do you want me to give birth to this child?”
