Chapter 232
Olivia sat on the bed for about three minutes before getting up. Just as she did, Tyler came out of his study. She was a bit surprised to see him suddenly and looked at him.
“You’re up?” he asked.
Feeling a little embarrassed, Olivia stumbled over her words. “D–Did I sleep for a long time?”
Tyler explained indifferently, “It’s normal to feel very sleepy when you’re expecting. Are you hungry?
Right after he mentioned food, Olivia’s stomach made a loud noise. She felt her cheeks get warm with embarrassment but didn’t say anything.
Tyler came closer. “I’ve ordered some food. It should be here any minute now.”
They were standing really close, and Olivia could smell a hint of his scent.
“Have you eaten already?” she managed to ask, curious.
They were still close, but it felt like Olivia was the one keeping a bit of distance between them.
Tyler looked at her. “Not yet. I thought I’d wait for you to wake up.‘
Hearing that, Olivia felt a bit guilty for making him wait because she had slept more than intended. She was about to say something when the doorbell rang.
Tyler went to answer it, and the hotel staff pushed the food trolley.
“You can leave now,” Tyler said to the staff, who left promptly, leaving them alone again.
Tyler started setting up the food on a table in the living room. The room felt a bit cold, but its style matched Tyler’s vibe.
Olivia watched him arrange everything, and then he invited her over. “Come eat.”
It took her a moment to move, but she finally walked over to the table.
The lights in the room highlighted Tyler’s features, making him look really handsome. He showed her the dishes. “I got these for you. They’re your favorites, and they’re healthy too.”
Noticing Olivia hesitating, he gently urged, “Sit down.”
That’s when Olivia noticed the candles on the table. Surprised that it was set up for a candlelight dinner, she sat down.
Tyler joined her after she sat. The candlelight made him look very elegant. “Have you ever had a candlelight dinner with Jacob before?”
Olivia remembered her times with Jacob were more about casual eats and street food. They had never done something like this.

She shook her head. “No.”
“Let’s eat then,” Tyler said.
Olivia reached for her cutlery, but before she could start, Tyler served her some sliced steak. “Here, eat this.”
She felt a mix of emotions, a bit overwhelmed by his gesture. “I can do it myself, Tyler.”
“It’s no trouble at all.”
Olivia decided to just go with the flow.
He encouraged her, “Give it a taste.”
