Chapter 1542
Seated before the television, Avery was moved to tears." Dad, can't you see it now? Tyler truly believes in me!"
Avery stared dreamily at the man on the screen. "All my efforts over these four years were worth it!"
Her father's brow furrowed. "Avery, a man's sweet words shouldn't be taken seriously. Over the years, Tyler hasn't
shown you much affection, yet he's suddenly taking your side contrary to his usual demeanor. Don't you find that
strange?"
"That's because Tyler isn't the kind of man who's adept at expressing himself!"
At this moment, Avery's heart was filled with her love for Tyler, so she was not pleased with her father's skepticism."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBesides, everyone has witnessed how I've treated him over these four years. People's hearts are fickle. Is it so
weird to believe that I've moved him somehow? Would you prefer that he acts distant toward me all this time
instead?"
A dismissive snort escaped her father. "If he's so fond of you, why has he refused to sleep with you all these years?
A man's affection for a woman isn't limited to words."
Avery defended herself with conviction. "Tyler said he didn't want to take advantage of me. He wanted to save our
first time for our wedding day." i
"How utterly ridiculous!" Her father had spent years in
Molivia and was not as conservative as people his age." Men love for the sake of pleasure. He doesn't want to touch
you, yet you believe he loves you deeply?"
"Tyler grew up in Zendonia; he's just more traditional and conservative." i
"What about Vicky, then? I've heard that back when Vicky was still in university, he couldn't wait to have his way
with her."
Avery's breath hitched. "Toys are meant to be played with as one pleases," Avery defended. "I won't deny that Tyler
used to like Vicky a lot. Still, lust is about indulgence, while love is about restraint." i
Avery turned her head, her gaze tenderly shifting back to Tyler's face on the screen. "It’s precisely because Tyler
cherishes me that he won't treat me casually."
Her father was frustrated. "He's brainwashed you!"
Avery looked at her father, a peculiar light shimmering in her eyes. "Dad, you've always liked Tyler, so what's wrong
with you today? Why do you keep badmouthing him? Has someone said something to you?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMister Yeager flinched, and Avery instantly smiled in realization. "Brielle did, huh?"
Mister Yeager wanted to argue, but Avery interrupted him." So what if what Tyler said was all fake? Don't you think
that it's the right action that aligns with our interest that he openly announces that he stands by me? Have you
considered that he'd be admitting that I cheated on him if he wavered even a bit? Should that happen, the Yeagers
will all be the subject of mockery. At the same time, our company's market value will drop. It doesn't matter if he
meant what he said, but he was willing to side with us to protect me and the Yeagers. Instead of feeling glad that he
stands by our side when there is a crisis in our family, you question his intention."
Avery shot her father a disappointed look. "Do you understand how much pressure he subject himself to by
announcing that he believes me? Still, he stood by my side. You're right about saying that love is more than just
words."
