Chapter 1272
Vicky looked down and avoided his gaze.
Tyler grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms. It was so sudden that Vicky jerked, nearly falling.
They were on top of the highest building in Stoneford City. Standing there, they had a panoramic view of the entire
city.
Normally, the rooftop would be filled with people who had gone there to take in the city view. However, the storm
dampened their plans, so the entire rooftop was vacant.
Tyler was standing at the best spot for viewing, but it was also the most dangerous spot. Even with the railing, it was
dangerous on account of the howling wind and heavy rain. With every move he made, he seemed about to fall.

"Tyler.... What do you want to do?" Vicky could not help but think back to the car accident last time. 'Is he still
thinking of us dying together?
Tyler stared into the distance. "The view here is nice, isn't it?"
"The wind is getting stronger... Why don't we go down now?” Vicky asked shakily.
Tyler, however, remained standing. "My mind feels so clear when I stand here."
He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her tighter to him. The coldness and dampness from his body
soaked through Vicky's clothes, causing her to shudder.
Tyler noticed this. He looked down at her and asked, "What's the matter?" "I'm very cold." Vicky wanted to coax him
to come down, but Tyler just hugged her even more tightly.
"Is this better?" His thin lips grazed her ear, bringing with it a kind of weird icy feeling.
His grip around her was strong, making it impossible for her to escape from the iron-clad prison. They were so
close that she could hear the strong beating of his heart.
"Yeah..." replied Vicky.
Tyler's deep voice rang in the air again, but this time, it sounded distant due to the howling wind.
"Why did you lie to me? Are you worried I won't agree to the divorce if you tell me the truth?"
"No," said Vicky, choosing her words carefully. "I just thought it was pointless to tell you all those things because
they were in the past...and it wasn't like the things I did tell you were lies either."
She had her reasons for not bringing up the past. For them, that period was no longer a symbol of better days but
of pain hidden in their hearts. Vicky felt her heart ripped apart whenever it was brought up.

Tyler's deep, cold voice sounded from above her head again. "They were all in the past? Do those memories mean
so little to you? Or could it be... you've never even liked me before, and that's why you don't want to think about
that time of your life? Did you have a hidden agenda for marrying me?"
"I didn't!" Vicky could not hold back anymore. "I really did like you; I wouldn't even be with you otherwise! We..."
"If you did like me, why did you insist on bringing up the matter of divorce when you knew the only reason I was
hospitalized was because of you?" interrupted Tyler.
Vicky did not know how to answer him. After all, their past could not be explained in just a couple of sentences. She
was also afraid of triggering him, so it was best to keep her mouth shut.
However, after a few seconds of silence, she said softly, "The wind is too strong here. Come back with me, and I'll
tell you everything."
She pulled Tyler's hand gently, but he remained unmoving.
"Did you have a change of heart? Or was there someone else?" he asked harshly.
Vicky knew Tyler had mistakenly thought she and Harvey were together, and he would not believe her no matter
how many times otherwise. They would not be here if it were not for this.
