Chapter 204

Tyler made sure Olivia had a good breakfast. “Try to eat more eggs and artichokes,” he suggested.
Olivia found the eggs okay and ate everything on her plate while Tyler was there,
Tyler observed her, noting her slight recovery from the past few days as he sipped his coffee,
After breakfast, Olivia went out with the maid. She understood that she couldn’t go out by herself from now on because taking care of the baby was the most important thing.
Perhaps, seeing that she felt better today, the maid chatted with her during their walk, trying to keep the mood light.
Olivia didn’t talk much, just replying now and then. After being inside for too long, she needed to get out for some fresh air. Otherwise, she felt like she was going to suffocate.
They walked by the river for a while, with the maid following her closely.
Eventually, Olivia got bored of walking and suggested, “Let’s go to the mall.”
The maid was pleased with the idea and responded with a smile, “Sure, ma’am.
They got into the car and went to a mall. After walking around for a bit, Olivia felt tired and wanted to rest, so they stopped at a dessert shop. Olivia sat there, looking out into the distance.
A waiter came over and handed her the menu, which brought her back to the moment. She ordered a dessert without giving it much thought and went back to staring into space.
She thought about calling Sophie to hang out, but Sophie didn’t answer her phone. Feeling a bit down, Olivia stared at her phone before deciding to put it away.
Just then, a familiar voice caught her attention.
“What do you want to eat, Jacob? They have great black forest cake here.”
Hearing the name “Jacob” made Olivia turn around. She was shocked to see who it was.
Sophie and Jacob, who had just walked in, were just as surprised to see Olivia.
Sophie stood at the door, holding Jacob’s hand, unprepared to encounter someone she hadn’t anticipated seeing there. Quietly releasing her grip on his, she called out softly, “Olivia…”
Olivia couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Jacob looked back at her, letting go of Sophie’s hand as she pulled away.
There was a heavy silence until Sophie, looking nervous under Olivia’s gaze, tried to explain, “Olivia, let me explain. J–Jacob and I—”
But Olivia interrupted, her voice shaking, “Why didn’t you answer my call?” She looked at Jacob, “Is this why?”

Backing away in shock, Olivia bumped into a table, knocking over a teapot and cups, causing a loud
crash.
The noise made everyone in the shop look their way.
