Chapter 237
Only then did Olivia realize that she had been holding the baby for too long. She stuck out her tongue playfully and handed the baby back to Marianne.
Tyler watched her with a warm smile.
Everyone around them teased her, suggesting that Olivia would have plenty of chances to hold her own baby in the future.
Hearing this, Olivia’s cheeks turned red with embarrassment.
Tyler, still smiling, seemed to enjoy the banter.
Olivia quietly followed Tyler around as they mingled and chatted with the guests. Marianne suddenly suggested, “Why don’t you take a break, Olivia? You might be getting bored standing around by yourself.”
Caught off guard by the suggestion, Olivia paused for a moment before glancing at Tyler.
Seeing her look his way, Tyler asked, “Feeling tired?”
She wasn’t really tired, but she wasn’t having much fun just standing there either.
“If you’re tired, go ahead and rest. I’ll come find you later,” Tyler told her.
After thinking it over for a moment, Olivia nodded. “Okay.”
“Just be careful,” he reminded her.
Olivia, dressed comfortably in flats and a loose dress, was only two months pregnant, so her belly wasn’t visible yet. Still, she moved carefully.
“I will,” she assured him.
Olivia left with Marianne, who led her to a cozy lounge and suggested she sit down and
relax.
“It’s alright, I can manage on my own,” Olivia quickly said, not wanting to impose on Marianne. Since Marianne was older, she wasn’t sure how to address her properly.
“Don’t worry about it,” Marianne said with a smile. “There’s plenty of food and drinks here, and even a TV. Just make yourself comfortable.”
Olivia smiled back, appreciating the hospitality. “Alright, thanks.”
Marianne called over a maid to look after Olivia. It seemed the baby was getting fussy, probably hungry. “I need to feed her,” Marianne explained to Olivia.
As the baby started to cry, Olivia responded, “Okay.”
After Marianne left with the baby, the crying gradually stopped, leaving Olivia in the quiet company of the maid.
The maid served her a drink, which made Olivia feel a bit awkward. “Thank you,” she said.
The maid smiled kindly and left, giving Olivia some space to relax.
However, Olivia felt bored being alone and soon needed to use the restroom. Not knowing her way around, she left the lounge in search of it. Following the signs, she found one and walked in, only to overhear a conversation.
“I heard she’s Naomi’s sister. Can you believe she managed to steal her fiance?” one
voice said.
“Yeah, she must have some tricks up her sleeve to have taken her sister’s man. Maybe she cast a spell on him,” another speculated.
