Loving You In Secret

Chapter 1742

Vicky finally heard Tyler clearly, and her expression darkened.

“Just hold on a little longer!” she said, her voice filled with determination. “I’ll save you!”

Tyler’s gaze was calm, even in this life-or-death moment. His eyes showed no hint of emotion. “I can’t hold on for much

longer,” he calmly replied.

Vicky was aware that Tyler had been shot in the arm and knew he could not endure for much longer.

“Just a little longer.” Vicky’s fingers tightened on the rope, and her knuckles turned white with the effort. “Just a little

longer!”

Suddenly, the speedboat lurched, causing Vicky’s body to sway dangerously over the edge. She almost fell into the sea

but managed to steady herself in time.

Lowering her head to focus on pulling Tyler up, she saw Tyler’s gaze fixed on her. In his eyes, she saw a mixture of

longing, reluctance to let go, and an intense, indelible affection.

With a voice tinged with emotions, he said, “I never intended to let you go.”

Indeed, he had not intended to let her leave, not even for a moment. There had not been a moment that he regretted that.

Vicky extended her hand toward him, saying, “Stop talking! Just grab my hand!”

She secured herself to the boat using the rope, hoping Tyler could use it to help him climb up. All she thought of was Tyler

and to save him.

Tyler continued bitterly, “I’ve even chosen our burial plot. I was waiting to seek revenge before we could die together, but

you got pregnant.”

Vicky realized what he was getting at, and her eyelashes fluttered.

Tyler looked at her with eyes that shimmered with a hint of nostalgia, sorrow, and intense love. “Back then, you’d rather

have me undergo hypnosis than continue to be with me. That’s when I realized I had no way of keeping you by my side

forever.

“I understood you had your reasons, but those reasons made me feel insecure. Even though you were doing it for my own

good, I couldn’t accept it. You thrived without me, and it made me believe that if I stayed away for a while longer, you’d

erase me from your mind completely. Since you couldn’t love me, I decided to make you hate me instead.”

He left no room for regret. He knew that even if Vicky stayed with him, it would be due to his threats and coercion. He had

threatened her with Harvey’s life, forcing her to sign an unequal agreement.

How could one expect to receive genuine love through lies and manipulation? He knew it was impossible right from the

beginning.

His relationship with Vicky was bound to be doomed. Avoiding past hurts might work for a while, but whenever conflicts

emerged, their underlying problems would resurface.

Tyler’s lack of trust and sense of insecurity toward Vicky led him to crave control. If she resisted being with him, he would

threaten and force her into staying. She would resent him for his despicable ways and try to escape. Thus began another

cycle.

He did not want to live in constant fear of her leaving him at any moment, so he decided to end it once and for all.

However, he did not anticipate her pregnancy. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

He had thought about deepening their bond with a child; it was an idea that formed in his head many years ago. However,

they lost their child in the end, and their relationship became even more strained.

Vicky suffered physically due to the miscarriage, making it almost impossible for her to conceive again. It would be a lie to

say Tyler did not regret it.
