In a sophisticated restaurant, a couple sat across from one another.
The warm candlelight wavered slightly between them, masking Tylerâs handsome features in the
shadow.
âTyler, how have you been in the past years?â asked Gloria.
Tyler nodded. âGood. How about you?â
Gloria took a sip of her wine. âI thought leaving and starting a new page would help, but in truthâ¦â She
smiled bitterly. âIâve just been running from reality. Iâve pretended like everything was alright, but I know
that Iâm not doing alright.â
The look in Tylerâs eyes darkened.
Under the dim light, Gloriaâs face lost its usual edges and seemed gentler.
She was a beautiful woman, but contrary to Vickyâs vibrant beauty, she had a more sophisticated and
timeless beauty.
She looked into his eyes and said, âThatâs why I came back. I wanted to relieve myself of this burden,
and Iâ¦also want to see how youâre doing.â
Tyler did not respond, and Gloria simply swirled the wine in her glass, the crimson color of the wine
contrasting her fair skin.
She sighed. âIt took me four years to understand what happened and to see what I truly feel. Itâs a
shameâ¦â She stared into his eyes. âItâs too late, isnât it?â
Tyler lowered his gaze and said, âWe all have to move forward, so we need to let bygones be
bygones.â
âYeah. Itâs all in the past now,â she muttered gloomily before a thought occurred to her. âWhereâs Vicky?
How is she doing now?â
âShe is fine.â
Gloria hesitated for a moment and said, âI heard from Harvey that sheâ¦lost her memories.â
âYeah.â
âDoes she not remember what happened in the past?â
âShe doesnât.â
The look in Gloriaâs eyes darkened slightly as she mumbled, âShe doesnât remember⦠Thatâs good, I
suppose.â
Tyler did not respond.
âTylerâ¦â She called out to him in a melodious voice. âThereâs no point in blaming a person who doesnât
remember anything. You can torture her all you want, but she wonât feel guilty about the past. Why
donât you just let her goâ¦and free yourself as well?â
A cold look appeared on his face. âYou donât need to talk about this with me.â
She shot him a look and said, âI heard that youâve imprisoned Vicky.â h n
âSince sheâs forgotten about everything and doesnât love you anymore, why donât you just end the
marriage?â She tilted her head to the side. âAre you stilL.worried about the mysterious man who was
helping her?â
Vicky had only succeeded in forcing Tyler to marry her with the help of a mysterious man.
Gloria sighed and said, âI was too young and prideful, so I jumped right into their trap and
misunderstood you⦠But we wouldâve never separated had Vicky not plotted with the mysterious
manâ¦â
