Chapter 32
Tyler studied Vicky’s face intently and, after a while, asked, “Why?”
Stunned, she muttered, “What?”
“You should know the weight my promises carry.” He lowered his gaze calmly.
Feeling as though he was staring right through her soul, she said, “So…?”
“There’s a high chance that you’ll fail.”
“I know.”
“You could’ve asked for something better.”
Enter title…
“I know.”
“This might be the only chance you get to ask anything from me.”
She took a deep breath. “I know, but this is all I want.”
A long moment of silence followed, and tension rose in the air.
Just as Vicky thought Tyler would disagree or that he would not say anything at
all, he responded, “Fine.”
Relieved, she looked up, but immediately looked away when she met his eyes.
Tyler ignored her and made a call to his assistant to explain the situation before
commanding, “Type up an
agreement.”
Half an hour later, Tyler’s assistant, Harry, came in. “Mister Hart, here’s the
agreement you asked for.”
Tyler nodded and turned to look at Vicky. “Is there anything else you’d like to
add?”
Vicky took the contract and flipped through it.
She had heard what Tyler said on the phone and to summarize, the agreement
stated that if Tyler proposed to divorce her a hundred days from this day, she had
no right to object to it but would be entitled to receive a fortune for compensation.
She glanced at the statement that mentioned the compensation and saw an
eight–digit figure, along with promises of cars and properties.
Even if they failed to continue the marriage, she would not be taken advantage of.
Vicky could understand why Tyler resented her for separating him and the woman
he loved. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
‘He loves Sheila and sides with her no matter what. It’s not hard to understand
why he’s so protective over her,‘ she thought. ‘If he’s willing to compensate me
after the divorce, I suppose….he is a good man, after all.”
Vicky looked up from the contract and turned to Tyler. “I have a few other
requests.”
He narrowed his eyes. “Oh?”
Pretending not to notice his sarcastic tone, she nodded and said, “First of all, you
can’t ignore my phone calls for no reason within the next three months. Second of
all, you must come home every night. Lastly, I
don’t want to see any scandal about you and another woman during this period of
time.
“It’s just three months. It’s not a long time, and I believe that you’re capable of
that, Mister Hart.”
“That’s it?” He stared at her intently.
She smiled. “If the following three months are exactly like the past three years…
then what’s the point of using your promise to delay the inevitable?”
Back when Tyler told her that she could make other requests, he did not specify
how many requests she could make.
