Chapter 332
Vicky could have chosen to hide the torment she had gone through.
Forever Night had not told Tyler the truth, and Tyler misunderstood that it was his enemy who kidnapped her, so no one would know unless she said otherwise. However, she could not stand the deception and lies that were crushing her conscience.
“Believe it or not, I wasn’t…” she mumbled. “Tyler, this isn’t about your enemies… I brought this on myself… If you want a divorce…”
Her speech was ruffled and so were her thoughts, so she had no clue what she was saying.
Before she could finish, Tyler held her close, and her eyes widened in shock. He wrapped his arms around her so tightly that she could feel her bones whining.
“I’m sorry,” he said hoarsely into her ear. “You wouldn’t have gone through all that had it not been for me.”
She froze.
“It’s my fault that you want to run from me and get a divorce.” His voice was thick with suppressed emotions.
“Tyler, it’s not like that. The truth is-“
Before she could finish, he interrupted her, “I know what you’re trying to say, Vicky, but I’m not divorcing you no matter what you went through.”
She could not see his face and could only see their entwined shadows on the wall; she could feel her heart beating once again as hope filled her.
“Really?” she questioned in disbelief.
Tyler let her go and looked into her eyes. “I’m sorry, Vicky, for doing such a bad job in protecting you.”
Though it was only a few words, she was set free, and tears filled her eyes.
She had been wary and prejudiced against Tyler ever since she lost her memories. She never truly trusted him nor had she thought of relying on him.
She developed feelings for him once, but those feelings meant nothing in the face of the future and reality.
She weighed the gains and the losses and decided to divorce Tyler, so it was not a reckless decision nor was it the inevitable conclusion due to a failed romance.
She kept a leveled head through every choice she made, but at this moment, she suddenly felt as though the hole inside her heart had been filled.
Vicky looked at the man before her through the tears in her eyes, and he reached out to wipe away her tears.
“None of this is your fault, and you didn’t bring this upon yourself. You can blame me or the person who kidnapped you, but you should never blame yourself,” he said before pulling her back into his arms once again, only gentler this time. “If I abandon my wife simply because she was hurt by others, can I still call myself a man?”
All her pretenses melted away, and she could no longer hold back from breaking down in tears.
She never felt more fragile, and it was at that moment that she finally let her guard down in front of him.
Tyler tapped her back rhythmically and consoled her gently, “Cry if you want to. I’ll be here with you forever.”
Her tears fell even faster at his words, and her sight was blurred.
She would never expect that all the words that she did not get to say would soon become her nightmare in the foreseeable future, nor had she noticed the dark look in Tyler’s eyes as they held onto one another.
