    The man’s body tensed.


    Click! The deskmp was turned on, its warm, amber light illuminating the darkness.


    “Why won’t you look at me? Are you brave enough to do it but not to admit it?” echoed Vicky’s gentle


    voice.


    Tyler snapped out of it and instinctively pulled his hand away from hers, ready to escape, only for


    Vicky’s next words to pin


    him in ce.


    “If you leave now, I’ll get rid of the baby in me tomorrow.”


    He swiftly froze in ce and turned back to her. “What did you just say?”


    Even though she prepared herself mentally, seeing the shock on his face made Vicky’s eyes widen in


    shock. In an instant,


    her eyes welled up with tears. “You…”


    As Tyler met the shock in her eyes, he came to a sudden realization and turned his face away, looking


    anywhere but at


    her.


    When she learned about her pregnancy and knew she had not been dreaming, Vicky had a hunch


    about who it was that


    came and went freely into her home. The only one capable of such sneaky maneuvers was Tyler.


    She did not know when he returned, but recalling the sense of being watched in recent times, she


    guessed he hade


    back well before her birthday. Yet, he had not approached her at all. If she had not be pregnant


    and discovered


    about his visits, he would have never revealed himself.


    Vicky did not know what Tyler was thinking, nor did she understand why he came back in secret, but


    her resentment


    toward him was reced by heartache the moment she saw him.


    He had grown so much thinner to the point he was unrecognizable from behind. ‘He must’ve endured a


    lot of suffering,’


    she thought.


    Vicky looked at the man with his back turned to her and asked, “When did youe back?”


    After a brief silence, he answered, “A few days before your birthday.”


    His answer was just as Vicky anticipated, and she continued, “Why didn’t youe to me?”


    Vicky realized her question was not quite correct. He dide to her, but it was when she was not fully


    conscious.


    Tyler understood her implication but fell silent for reasons she could not begin toprehend.


    “Tyler, are you nning to keep talking to me without looking at me?” she asked.


    He did not leave right away, indicating he did not intend to escape. However, he did not want to face


    her in his state.


    Although he was not painfully thin, he was not at his best.


    At that moment, a gentle hand reached out and held his.


    “Let’s talk things over properly,” Vicky said.


    After a few seconds of internal struggle, Tyler sat back down on the edge of the bed.


    His facial features, which were sharply defined, appeared even more pronounced in the dim light.


    Vicky’s eyes welled up with tears, but she spoke calmly, “Shall we talk about my situation first, or


    yours?”


    “Yours,” Tyler replied in a low, hoarse voice.


    Vicky ced his hand on her lower abdomen and said, “I didn’t lie to you; I am pregnant. If it weren’t for


    this pregnancy, I


    probably wouldn’t have discovered you.”


    Tyler did note every day, and Vicky had been waiting for him at home for three days.
