Loving You In Secret

Chapter 1749

“Are you planning to leave just like that?”

The man’s body tensed.

Click! The desk lamp 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 place.

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

He swiftly froze in place 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 had come

back well before her birthday. Yet, he had not approached her at all. If she had not become 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 replaced 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 you come 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 you come to me?”

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

Tyler understood her implication but fell silent for reasons she could not begin to comprehend. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Tyler, are you planning 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 placed 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 not come every day, and Vicky had been waiting for him at home for three days.
