Tyler returned late at night and assumed Vicky had gone to sleep. However, when he pushed open the bedroom door and saw the familiar figure sitting on the couch, he narrowed his eyes."Why is she not asleep?" he asked Jade, his brow furrowed. "Is she unwell again?""No," Jade replied softly. "Ms. Shaw said she's not very sleepy right now."Tyler nodded gently. "You can o rest."Approaching Vicky, he noticed that she was reading a book. His gaze landed on the book in her hands—a book he bought about pregnancy care. His eyes sparkled with a hint of emotion, and his voice softened. "How do you feel today?"Vicky did not look up from her book. "I can carry this child to term."Tyler abruptly turned his gaze toward her, his eyes piercing to the extent that she could feel them on her.Setting the book aside, she met the man's deep, dark eyes. "After the child is born, I will entrust him to you. From then on, we will sever all connections."The warmth in his eyes, which had been so in

Vicky looked at Tyler in surprise. "Are you coming along?""I don't have anything to do today, so I can keep you company," Tyler replied calmly.Vicky instinctively tried to refuse. "You don't have to."Tyler frowned. "Why not?""I accepted having Jade around to protect me when I go out; I never agreed to let you follow me around," Vicky stated firmly.Tyler was unhappy with her explanation, but he managed to control his temper. "I'm not just following you around. I'm here to protect you."Vicky did not believe him."As the child's father, I can better ensure your safety," he added. It seemed Tyler had made up his mind and would not change his decision regardless of how Vicky protested. He even added, "You can think of me as any regular bodyguard."'Any regular bodyguard, huh? He's anything but ordinary with his looks,' Vicky thought and felt that he was being unreasonable.Running late, Vicky could not afford to argue any further, so she reluctantly agreed.Once inside the

Aurora did not have a deep understanding of Tyler; all of this information came from Noah.Noah had also said, "Why does Tyler value this child so much? It's because this child is an important bond that can tie Vicky to him for a lifetime. As Vicky's friend, I understand her situation, and I'm on her side, but we can't deny that their separation was initiated by Vicky. Tyler feels insecure around Vicky, but he doesn't have enough bargaining chips in his hands to make her stay. If Vicky wasn't pregnant, in my opinion... He might take his life with Vicky's at the end of his revenge plan. He was never a normal person, and these years have likely been a survival driven by hatred."Looking at his family's situation, it looks like he's on the brink of destroying the Hart family. There's probably nothing he won't do. Fortunately, Vicky is pregnant, and that gives them both a way out and a chance to ease their relationship. Otherwise...your friend might get killed."He's been subjected to e

Vicky was in the midst of choosing baby supplies when she was swept up into Tyler's arms, leaving her stunned. She furrowed her brow and struggled to free herself from his embrace. "Tyler, what are you doing?"Tyler glanced at Aurora and replied, "Your friend asked me to do this."Aurora pointed at herself incredulously. "When did I ask you to do that?""You were concerned about her safety and wanted me to stay close to protect her, right?" Tyler's expression remained unchanged. "This way, I can fulfill your request."Aurora was dumbfounded. It seemed she inadvertently assisted Tyler's plan, but it was not her intention.After a long while, Aurora finally managed to squeeze out a sentence through gritted teeth, "Tyler, you're truly shameless!"Tyler accepted her comment calmly. "Thank you for the compliment."He then wrapped his arm around Vicky's waist and continued helping her pick out baby supplies.Aurora was fuming.The three of them spent a considerable amount of time in

Vicky furrowed her brow. "Send me the client's contact information, and I'll try reaching out," she said to Jennifer.Jennifer promptly sent over the client's contact details.Vicky made a call, introduced herself, and explained the purpose of her call."Missus Ridge, would you and Mister Ridge be willing to meet with me?" Vicky inquired.Upon hearing that Vicky was the owner of a design studio, Missus Ridge was more accommodating and did not refuse a meeting as decisively as before."Sure. I happen to have some free time this evening. If we need to discuss something, let's meet at the Royal Club," she suggested.Royal Club was a well-known members-only entertainment venue in Stoneford City. Vicky had been there a few times and had a membership card, so she agreed to the proposal.After ending the call, Vicky dialed Jennifer's number again to explain the situation.Jennifer listened and said, "Vicky, since Willow reports to me, I'll go with you.""Okay."After setting a meeti
