Chapter 1720


    Apart from Vicky, no one else could change Tyler’s mind.


    The servant approached with the tea, and the atmosphere became somewhat quieter.


    After what seemed like a long pause, Vicky’s voice broke the silence. “I don’t deny that he might’ve


    genuinely loved me in


    the past, and perhaps…he even considered taking his life alongside mine at some point, but that was


    in the past. In the


    present, I truly can’t stop him from doing what he wants.”


    Vicky subconsciously ced a hand on her lower abdomen. “He probably spared me for now because


    of this child.”


    Old Mister Hart took a sip of tea with a resigned look on his face. “Indeed, but have you ever


    considered that he cares


    about the baby so much because this child is both yours and his?”


    Vicky looked at Old Mister Hart wordlessly.


    “You should be aware that if he wanted a child, there would already be many out there. You’ve had


    health issues, and


    having a child wasn’t easy…” Old Mister Hart seemed to recall something, and his voice suddenly


    faltered. A few seconds


    Staring at Vicky’s puzzled expression, he stood up abruptly. “Protect this child well.”


    With that, Old Mister Hart rose and was about to leave. Suddenly, he remembered something and


    turned back to ask,


    “Miss Shaw, do you…not love Tyler anymore?”


    Vicky’s gaze flickered slightly, but she remained silent, which basically confirmed Old Mister Hart’s


    belief.


    Old Mister Hart understood the meaning behind her silence and shook his head helplessly before


    turning to leave.


    As he reached the door, he suddenly saw someone standing there.


    A tall, slender man stood frozen in ce, his face pale.


    Old Mister Hart paused for a moment. “Tyler…”


    Hearing Old Mister Hart’s voice, Vicky’s eyshes fluttered, and she raised her head abruptly.


    Tyler had appeared at the door at some point. He quietly looked at her, his expression calm and


    unreadable.


    No one knew how much he had heard.


    Vicky instinctively avoided his gaze.


    “Why did youe?” Tyler questioned.


    “I heard that Vicky is pregnant, so I came to see her.” Old Mister Hart’s gaze fell on Tyler in concern.


    “Why do you look so


    pale? Is something wrong?”


    Old Mister Hart knew deep down that Tyler must have received the news and rushed back so quickly in


    fear that he would


    harm Vicky.


    “It’s gettingte. I’ll leave now,” said Old Mister Hart.


    “Okay,” Tyler responded without any intention of seeing him off.


    Old Mister Hart did not mind and left, closing the door behind him.


    After the door mmed shut, tension rose in the air.


    Seeing that Tyler had returned, the maid discreetly retreated.


    The atmosphere was so quiet that it became eerie, and Tyler continued to stand in his ce in silence


    while keeping his


    eyes on her.


    Vicky finally broke the silence. “Why did youe back?”

    As soon as the words left her mouth, Vicky realized how foolish her question sounded.
