Chapter 213
“Why did you call, Naomi? I’m okay…”
Naomi noticed Olivia’s hoarse voice. “I talked to Tyler, and he told me about Jacob.”
“Oh… Yeah, I’m alright, Naomi.”
Naomi was unaware of Olivia’s relationship with Jacob. She thought something was going on with her and Claude, but now it seemed she made a mistake. Olivia still couldn’t let go of Jacob.
“You should try to forget about the past, Olivia. I’m the one who caused you all this trouble.”
Olivia was caught off guard. “Don’t say that, Naomi. It has nothing to do with you.”
“How can you say that? If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have… split up with Jacob.”
Naomi continued, “Olivia, if it’s meant to be, you wouldn’t lose it. Don’t waste your tears on him.
He’s not worth it.”
Olivia listened to her try to cheer her up. She nodded. “Yeah, Naomi. I know.”
“Oh, my silly sister.” Naomi felt a bit helpless.
To Olivia’s surprise, she felt a bit better. After a brief silence from Naomi, Olivia said, “If there’s nothing else, Naomi, I’m going to hang up.”
“Yeah, go get some rest,” replied Naomi.
Olivia felt a bit lighter after the call.
Standing still, phone in hand, she saw Tyler at the door. He looked in to check on her, and she avoided his gaze upon seeing him, her hold on the phone tightening.
He only after confirming she was fine.
Hillary had been waiting for Naomi’s update. She called as soon as Naomi was done with the phone
calls.
Naomi picked up, knowing it was her mom.
“How did it go, Naomi?” Hillary asked.
“Let’s just take it easy, Mom,” Naomi replied in a tired voice.
Hillary was puzzled. “What do you mean?”
“Olivia’s been through a lot lately. Plus, she’s been really sick in the mornings. We should just give her a break,” Naomi explained.
“What happened?” Hillary was still confused.

“It’s about her and Jacob. He’s with Sophie now. I just talked to Olivia, and yeah, she’s upset,” Naomi
shared.
Hillary turned pale. “She did the right thing by breaking up with Jacob. Why be sad over someone who was not right for her? And what does this have to do with her moving out of Sandalwood Palace?”
“Mom, the breakup was because of Tyler and me. Just give me some time. I’ll talk to Tyler about it,” Naomi tried to explain.
Hillary was pissed but paused to think. “Okay, let’s just wait then.”
Naomi hung up.
Hillary was worried. Despite everything, she felt threatened by the situation.
Meanwhile, Naomi, too, was deep in thought after ending the call.
The next day, Olivia felt much better. She went downstairs and called out, “Aunt-” then corrected herself, “Mom.”
It was still hard for her to call Ana that.
