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?"

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

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.
