Chapter 1647
Vicky was not lying. If she were to give up her business here, she could wrap things up within three months-and that
was being generous. After all, she was the owner, not an ordinary employee. Whether she decided to sell the studio
or find a partner, it would be a tedious process.
Given Tyler's ability and experience, she expected him to understand.
"Three months..." he repeated, before asking, "Is three months enough?"
"It should be," Vicky replied.
"I thought you might need more time.”
Vicky found his words strangely cryptic and did not have time to think them over before he continued, "Well, it's

Tyler was oddly reasonable, which confused her. She mustered a faint smile and said, "It's getting late. I should
rest... I'll take a shower first."
Vicky was just about to leave when he suddenly grabbed her wrist.
"Not so soon," he said and pressed her against the window, before lowering his head to kiss her.
It had been some time since he touched her.
When Tyler called her to return, Vicky had a hunch about what he wanted. She felt a surge of disgust at the
thought, which was why she considered delaying her return for a while. Since she was back, she could not stall any
longer.
After everything that happened, Vicky had thought she could endure it.
However, as his kisses rained down on her, she could not help but recall the day when Avery had come to visit her
and purposely tugged off her scarf.
Suddenly, Vicky felt a wave of nausea and pushed him away instinctively.
Tyler paused and gazed at her calmly, waiting for her explanation.
"I... I haven't taken a shower yet..."
A shower would not take much time at all, and she knew that her attempt to delay was utterly pointless. Still, she
could not help herself from making up an excuse to delay the inevitable.
Tyler looked deeply into her eyes. "Alright," he said and released her, much to her surprise. "Go and take your
shower."
Vicky sighed in relief and headed for the bathroom. Behind her, Tyler's ominous, unrelenting gaze followed her

It was not until she entered the bathroom and closed the door that she was relieved from his gaze.
Vicky stalled at her best effort and took 40 minutes in the shower. Still, she could not remain in the bathroom
forever and would have to go outside.
Vicky put on a robe and stepped outside slowly to find him smoking on the couch.
He leaned back lazily, and the smoke clouded his profound features.
Vicky frowned.
After not seeing him for four years, he picked up the habit of smoking and drinking, even though he stayed away
from such habits when they first started dating.
Regardless, Vicky knew she had no right to say anything.
She grabbed the unfinished bottle of wine and poured two glasses. "I saw on the news that Avery and Lincoln got
married," she began.
