Chapter 255
“Maybe he has things to deal with.”
Olivia didn’t say anything else. Thinking back to when Tyler teased her by calling her a hamster made her a bit angry, but she couldn’t help smiling a little.
‘I’m not a hamster,‘ she thought.
After Naomi’s car drove off, Tyler looked away. His smile had disappeared, and he went back into the house.
Naomi let the wind hit her face while she was in the car, enjoying the fresh air.
She got back right when Hillary was rushing out of her room, looking really worried.
Seeing Naomi, Hillary rushed over and grabbed her hands. “Where have you been, Naomi?!”
“I went out to get some fresh air, Mom,” Naomi replied.
Hillary noticed Naomi’s hands were cold. “Did you go to the Harrises?”
Naomi kept her face calm. “I was feeling bored, so I thought I’d take a stroll.”
Hillary was worried something might have happened. “Is Tyler back from his business trip?”
“Yes, he is.”
Just from Naomi’s response, Hillary felt something was wrong. She asked, “What happened?”
Hillary was really upset about Olivia being pregnant and married to Tyler. “I can’t believe this is happening. If I knew Olivia could get pregnant naturally, I wouldn’t have arranged for her to marry Tyler. Now, she’s known as his wife. Why does life have to be so difficult for you?”
Hillary couldn’t stop crying.
Naomi was quiet at first, seeing her mom cry, but then she said without much emotion, Mom, it’s a good thing Olivia is pregnant. Their marriage was just for the baby. It’s just a
procedure. Why are you so upset?”
“Just a procedure? The Harris family is making a big deal out of the baby. Olivia has been living with them since the wedding. They even call her ‘Mrs. Harris‘. That’s not just a procedure. She’s become his real wife,” Hillary argued.
Naomi remained calm.
Hillary was still emotional. “Aren’t you worried she’ll take your place?!”
Naomi smiled at Hillary. “You’re worrying too much. Olivia won’t let that happen. She’s not evil. Let’s stop talking about this, okay? Did you forget who Olivia did this for to begin with?“!
Hillary wanted to argue, but Naomi’s look made her stop.
“I’m tired, I’d like to rest,” Naomi said. She went to her bed, and a nurse helped her get
comfortable.
As soon as she was settled, her phone beeped with a new message. She took a glance and saw it was from someone she didn’t know.
[Look how the tables have turned, Naomi. I didn’t beat you, but your own sister did. Did you know she went to the Rees‘ party holding Tyler’s hand? They looked so sweet together.]
Naomi tightened her grip on the phone as she read the message. She knew who had sent. it right away.
It was Gina. It had been a while.
