"It's your deep seated feeling for her that caused you to do it and don't tell me you didn't do it with her before we got married," Jade was already fuming at the end of interlocution. "You're the first woman I had physical intimacy with," Tyler's admission stunned Jade momentarily. However, scoff followed her surprise. Tyler sighed. "I know, no one would believe me that I reached 30 without any sexual activity when women practically threw themselves to me."It was the truth that women offered themselves to him but no one evoked a desire in him. Solely, Jade was the one who had activated his passion without even trying to seduce him. "You're together with Sophia now, why don't you just let me go?" Jade went back to the thorn between them. Although she was his first, he had been unfaithful to her during their marriage. "We aren't together," Tyler's answer gained a laugh from Jade. Tyler fixedly looked at her laughing face that is now more alluring than ever. "A man and a woman
It sounded like she's a selfish and cruel woman that she targeted an innocent boy. However, Jason's existence was like a thorn in her heart, a constant reminder of her husband's infidelity. Intently, she watched his reaction like a hawk. Bowing his head, Tyler looked at the floor with set jaw and clenched fists. His chest rising up and falling down like waves due to heavy breathing.His reaction didn't go unnoticed to her keen eyes. Her heart felt as though being stung by hundreds of bees at the sight of Tyler. "You're in a dilemma, isn't it?" Tyler raised his head and saw her lips curled up in a smile but her eyes spoke a different story. "I know you love your and Sophia's son." Tyler was tongue tied and couldn't utter a single word. "Please, let me go. Tim and I won't appear before you so you can go back to your normal life," Jade said, reconsidering her decision on giving Tyler another chance because she desired to give Timothy a complete family. One thing, however, she didn
For a while Tyler kept mum, but when he reached his limit he opened his mouth to speak. "It was so kind of you to bring my son here, Mr. Schneider," Tyler wanted Luke to know his place. With Tim's high IQ he understood the meaning of Tyler's remark. Indignantly, he stood up from Jade's lap and hugged Luke who was standing beside the hospital bed. Silently, he refuted his own father's declaration. To Tim he was just the donor to ovulate an egg to form a baby. But, in his heart, Luke was his real father. A palpable sense of loss shrouded Jade. It wasn't Jade's intention for the father and son to have bad blood between them.Lost for words, Jade looked at her hands and fiddled her fingers. Tyler sensed the discomfort of Jade but couldn't think of a way of alleviating it.Without knocking, Cecilia entered the room with Jared. "Timmy," joyfully, Jared's voice sounded. Tim turned his head with a smile. They hadn't seen each other after Tyler came to know that Jade was back in Austri
Sensing that Tim was uncomfortable with his touch, Tyler retracted his hand and thrust his hand on his pocket. He couldn't blame his son for being aloof. "Go to daddy," Jade said, she can't just do nothing to ease tension. She just wanted her son to know and feel how it is to be with his father. Even if everything turned sour for her and Tyler, Jade didn't want Tim to hate his father. Tyler pulled his hand from his pocket and picked Tim, carrying him in his arms. Tim reflexively grabbed Tyler's neck. Joy saturated Tyler's heart when Tim didn't refuse being held by him. Temporarily forgetting that Jade repulsed his touch, Tyler bent over to kiss Jade on her cheek. Surprisingly, Jade didn't repulse his kiss. "Kiss your mom before we leave," Tyler said, still bent over so Tim could give Jade a peck on her cheek. Later, after Cecilia and Jared left, Jade dozed off after thinking so much. A touch on her wrist that had been slit stirred her up. She squinted before she fully opene
Two servants who heard Sophia went to look what had happened to the mistress of the house. "What are you doing here?" Sophia looked at them with bloodshot eyes. She picked up the vase near her and threw it, aiming at the servants. To dodge the flying vase towards their direction the servants ducked on the couch, successfully avoiding being hit. Soon, a crashing sound ensued. The moment she saw the picture of Jason and Timothy, she had a feeling that the boy with Jayson was Tyler's son. One thing that she was sure of was that Jade is the boy's mother for Tyler had no other woman besides Jade. "You have snatched him away from me. I would be dumb to allow you to take him away from me the second time," Sophia said with so much hatred. She had used dirty tricks to break apart Tyler and Jade. Again, this time, she had no qualms using dirty tricks to have what she wanted. Back in Jade's mansion, Tyler and Tim arrived. "Da…," Tim vacillated between calling him dad or not.Tyler's h
"Jason is in the hospital!" Sophia frantically said, pacing back and forth along the hospital corridor. Tyler sprang from his seat at once and left the room forgetting to say goodbye to Jade. Gloom shrouded Jade while she stared at the back of the man who claimed to love her but forgot her existence the moment he heard Sophia's voice. Only a fool would believe such a claim. And she refused to belong to the category of women who had been fooled by sugar coated words. Jason was brought to the same hospital where Jade was admitted. So he ran towards the emergency room.When he arrived in front of the emergency room, Sophia threw herself to him. Feeling her trembling body, Tyler hugged Sophia to support her and stop her from collapsing. Sophia looked up at him wearing a pitiful look. She knew that Tyler is a compassionate man hidden under his cold facade. "Tyler, our son," she let her tears stream down continuously as she looked at him. Sophia achieved her goal to melt him as Tyle
His face was hard as a flint. With a voice that held much restrained power he answered. "No!" Jade sobbed as her frustration increased. "Why can't you understand that this marriage was a mistake to begin with and it's bound for destruction." "It wasn't a mistake, we are destined," Tyler refuted with much conviction. Not wanting to agitate her more, despite wanting to comfort her, he smothered his desire to wrap her in his arms.Jade couldn't hold back and laughed like a lunatic. "You believe in destiny but I don't!" Perhaps, destiny is true but Tyler and her weren't destined to be. It was him and Sophia who were destined to be. "Whether you believe it or not, you and I will stay together. And if you run away, I will find you in whichever corner of the world you run to," Tyler left as soon as he delivered his thoughts. Two days later, the physician gave a go for Jade to go home to recover. "Dr. Leitner, whatever you're going through, pull yourself together as there are many live
At that moment, Tyler's mind seemed to malfunction as he didn't know what to do. Still in daze, Jade smiled, making Tyler's heart leap. He bent down to capture her lips. Jade responded and buried her face in his neck when she pulled out. "Jade," he whispered with a husky voice but Jade had no response. He settled her on the bed, only to find out that the woman who earnestly kissed him was sleeping. Doubt filled his heart that she was just pretending to be sleeping. Hence, he called out once again while he gently patted her face. "Jade." Jade opened her eyes and sat up. "You're here!" She looked at her side. "Where's Tim?" At that, Tyler discovered that she responded to him while asleep. All at once, the happiness brought by her fervent response to his kiss banished. Dejection slowly crept in when he thought further. Perhaps she was dreaming about Luke at the time she kissed him back. "Hey, where is Tim?" Jade repeated when she got no answer from him. "He's in his room," Tyl
