Loving You In Secret novel 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 placed 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 later, he stared at Vicky with an inexplicably thoughtful gaze in realization. "This child came at just the right time."

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 place, his face pale.

Old Mister Hart paused for a moment. "Tyler..."

"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 slammed 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 place in silence while keeping his eyes on her.

Vicky finally broke the silence. "Why did you come back?"

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