Chapter 161
Olivia was so worried, fearing any misstep could lead to trouble.
Sensing her unease, Tyler apologized, “Sorry, my bad for not waking you up.”
But to Olivia, his apology felt insincere, like he was just trying to get this over with without really caring. No one understood why she was so worried; no one could possibly understand her fear and anxiety.
“No, it’s not you. It’s me. I just don’t get why you seem so against giving me a reminder,” she said. Tyler’s gaze turned cold.
Struggling to hold back tears, Olivia broke away from him and dashed off, narrowly avoiding a collision with Colleen, who watched her flee in bewilderment.
“What’s going on, Tyler? Did you two fight?” Colleen wondered aloud.
“Don’t start making things up.” Tyler shot her a warning glare before handing her the club and storming off, leaving Colleen confused.
Tyler reached his room only to find it locked. He instructed his maid, “Get a spare set of keys!”
“Yes, sir.”
Five minutes later, Tyler used the keys to open the door. Inside, Olivia lay with her face buried in the pillow. She looked up as Tyler entered.
He frowned and sat on the couch, keeping his distance.
Colleen followed them in, asking, “Olivia?”
“Out, now!” Tyler’s glare silenced her. “And close the door on your way out!”
Sensing tension, Colleen quietly left the room, closing the door behind her. She realized she had inadvertently stepped into a warzone, so she chose not to confront him further and left the scene.
In the ensuing silence, Tyler approached Olivia, sighing softly. “I’m not great at smoothing things. over, okay? If you think it was unfair to you,
think it was unfair to you, fine. I’ll have the driver take you home.”
Olivia turned away from her pillow, considering his words. What was that supposed to mean?
Tyler watched her silently.
After a while, she relented, “Okay. Thank you for
for your
consideration.”
As she started to get up from the bed, Tyler reached out and grabbed her arm.
