Tyler gazed longingly at Vicky and fell into silence.

Tension filled the air and loomed over the two.

“One year,” Tyler finally spoke. “Give me one year. If I haven’t recovered by then, I’ll let you go.”

Vicky smirked. “Tyler, haven’t you stalled enough? It’s a year now, but when that time comes, you won’tbe willing to let go.”

Tyler’s frustration rose. “Do you have to divorce me?”

“You want me to wait for a year? Sure. Once I give you my word, I’ll definitely wait. Even if we’redivorced by then, I won’t go back on my word.” Vicky’s tone remained indifferent. “After one year, I’ll stillneed to observe you for a while. What if you haven’t truly recovered and simply lied to me about beingcured, only to stall again? What would I do then? Of course, Mister Hart, with your immense power andinfluence, I won’t have any means to divorce you if you won’t agree to it. Haven’t you done thatbefore?” she said mercilessly.

Forcibly seizing something was only necessary when the other party was unwilling.

After having experienced mutual affection, Tyler could no longer endure unrequited love. He relentedbecause he did not want to ruin this relationship, yet she seemed eager to escape him.

Tyler pursed his lips and panted. He wished he could throw the woman before him onto the bed andgive her a stern lesson. He wanted to make her cry, make her beg for mercy, and make her incapableof uttering such words ever again.

However, looking at the pitiful state she was in, Tyler forcefully suppressed his anger.

He still wanted to be with her and work on their relationship. He could not do anything that would pushher away, or give her more reasons and excuses to escape him.

“A year might seem long to you, so how about ten months?”

Vicky shook her head. “Ten months and a year; what’s the difference?”

Tyler’s jawline tensed. After a few quiet seconds, he spoke,” Six months, then.”

“Tyler, we’re not in a business transaction. We shouldn’t be bargaining like this, should we?” Vicky saidwith resignation.

Tyler fell silent once more. After a while, he said, “You can think of other conditions. I can acceptanything apart from a divorce.”

He did not relent further and Vicky knew that they had reached an impasse, so she decided to remainsilent.

After the bath, Tyler carried her out and set her down on the bed.

“I don’t want to live in the basement,” Vicky said.

Tyler paused before saying, “Alright.”

After getting her dressed, he sent her back to the mansion. He did not bother to tie her up or limit herfreedom again as though trying to prove he never meant to hurt her.

It had been some time since Tyler showed up at Hart Corporation, and soon, he was called to the officeover business matters.

Feeling insecure, he called Jade over and had her guarding the first floor.

Vicky did not protest it.

As she watched Tyler’s car leave the mansion, she took out her phone and made a phone call.

The call was answered, and the voice of an old man came through.

“Ms. Shaw.”
