Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 1735

Vicky understood Lincoln's message clearly. Her movements were confined to this room, and if he suspected she tried to escape, she would end up tightly bound.

It did not take long before someone knocked on the room's door, and Miranda entered with a tray of food.

"Mister Hart, this is the meal you requested for Ms. Shaw," she said.

Lincoln took the tray. "Yes, you can go now," he replied, his eyes briefly glancing at Vicky.

Vicky made no attempts to shout or question Miranda, and she did not lose her temper either. After all, doing any of that would not change anything.

Lincoln approached Vicky with the tray. "You must be hungry after going a day without food," he remarked, lifting the utensils as if he intended to feed her.

Vicky instinctively avoided his hand. "I can manage on my own."

Lincoln did not push further and handed her the tray.

The food was plentiful and clearly well-prepared.

Vicky did not have much of an appetite, but under Lincoln's watchful eye, she picked up her spoon and slowly finished the meal.

There were leftovers, but it was not much.

Lincoln raised an eyebrow with a sly smile. "Why are you so cooperative? Aren't you afraid I might put something in the food to harm your child?"

Vicky set down her spoon and replied calmly, "I'm not afraid of that at all."

Since Vicky became pregnant, Tyler had indeed been exceptionally attentive. It was partly because of the child and partly because he had always been determined to win Vicky over.

Tyler's thinking was simple: time was on their side. It did not matter if it took a month, two months, a year, or even ten years; he had the patience to win over her slowly.

They already had a child together, so he no longer needed to rush or use extreme methods. In any case, Vicky was his. As long as that remained true, he did not mind investing more effort and time in pursuing her, and he would not be impatient again.

Lincoln's words did not stir any emotions in Vicky, as she knew his talk of being together and treating her child as his own was all a facade. He merely wanted to keep her with him to use her as leverage against Tyler. Making her have this child was just a way to control her and coerce her into doing his bidding.

Lincoln was an ambitious man who would not settle for mediocrity.

Indeed, he was quite the cunning strategist.
