Although she said I love you verbally, she didn't actually love him. For Tyler, however, even being fake was satisfying. His slender fingers gently brushed Liana's cheek, and regardless of whether she was sweaty or not, he would lean down, kiss her forehead and say, "Liana, I love you too."
Liana scoffed, "Tyler, can someone like you understand what love is?"
After a passionate night, Tyler bit her lip gently and replied, "I might not understand... but does it matter?"
Knowing he wanted her was enough. Why bother figuring out what love was? If he could keep her by his side, that was love.
Liana fell onto the soft carpet, turning her head to watch the embarrassing scenes on the big screen. It seemed that even the performances in the movies couldn't compete with their passion.
Her body had been completely possessed by Tyler. Not a single part of her was pure. No, from the moment Tyler first had her, she was no longer pure...
Tyler seemed a bit lost, as if time wasn't enough. He held her again and again, as if trying to spend all the time of the month on her...
At first, Liana tried to resist, but later she was so worn out that she had to let him do as he pleased.
The moment he put her into the bathtub, Liana felt a bit nauseous. She leaned over the edge of the tub, retching a few times, but nothing came out.
Seeing her like this, Tyler, who was leaning against the glass door, froze. These were early pregnancy symptoms, but Liana couldn't be pregnant because she had no womb.
He had fantasized that if Liana could bear a child for him, they could live a carefree life on this island.
He often fantasized that if they had a child, Liana would slowly accept him for the sake of the child. Then he wouldn't need to force her to express love with lies.
But all these were unrealistic fantasies. Because Liana's womb had been taken away by him. She could never have a child...
Regret filled Tyler's eyes. He walked over to Liana, squatted down, and patted her back gently, asking, "What's wrong?"
Liana glared at him angrily, clutching her stomach, "Your cooking sucks. It's raw."
Looking at Tyler like this, Liana had mixed feelings. She felt like her revenge plan had succeeded, yet it hadn't, because their relationship was complicated.
Tyler carried Liana back to the master bedroom and laid her on the bed. Then he turned around, propped his head up with one hand, and looked at Liana who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed.
In the moonlight, he traced Liana's features with his finger, then asked softly, "Liana, was I the only one you liked when you were young?"
Liana had answered this question before, so she ignored him this time.
Tyler didn't mind. He started talking about their past, "I used to think you liked that guy named Jules..."
Liana was very close to a guy named Jules. He would pick her up and drop her off at school every day. They often chatted and played together, and they even decided to go to the same university. Every time Tyler saw this, he just pretended not to see.
Karan really liked Jules and often invited him over to play. She even brought Jules into Liana's room to give them some alone time. After a while, Jules even had free access to their house. A few times when Tyler saw them being intimate, he was unhappy and scolded them. But Karan defended Jules, saying that Jules might be Liana's future husband and that Tyler should be more polite to his future brother-in-law.
