Chapter 266
Naomi was stunned. She was frozen, just stared at Tyler with shaking hands.
“Do you think I’m selfish, Tyler?” she asked, her voice shaky.
Tyler looked at her, his expression changing. “No, I think I don’t know you anymore,
Naomi.”
They had been together for years. He knew Naomi was spoiled at home and could be full of herself, but now, he felt like she was almost a stranger to him.
Naomi closed her eyes, not saying anything. Tyler also stayed quiet, then he walked away.
When she heard the door close, she felt as if her heart had fallen to a very cold, dark place.
Olivia was having nightmares again. She woke up suddenly at night, panting and scared. She didn’t want to go back to sleep, so she forced her eyes to stay open.
She froze when she heard a car engine downstairs. She knew Tyler was back from visiting Naomi.
When he came in, she was sitting up, waiting. “How was your sleep?” he asked..
“Not bad,” she lied..
Tyler looked at her pale face. Although she was fair–skinned, she looked even paler. She didn’t look like she had a good sleep; instead, she seemed startled and restless.
“You’ll have the amniocentesis in a few days,” he reminded her.
“I know,” Olivia said, trying to sound brave. She was mentally–prepared now.
Tyler looked worried but tried to comfort her by gently putting his hand on her head. His
touch made her feel a bit better.
“The baby is mine too. I’m here, no matter what, understand?” he said gently.
Olivia felt weak but safe with him. “Okay.”
He looked down, with a soft warmth in his eyes. “So, stop worrying about it. Let’s just.
wait for the amniocentesis test.”
This time, she didn’t say anything. She just nodded.
Chapter 266
Tyler finally removed his hand from her head.
Right after that, Olivia asked, “How’s Naomi?”
The warmth in his eyes dimmed a bit. “Don’t worry about her. She just needs to look after her health. She’ll be fine.”
Olivia had no idea what had happened between them.
“It’s been a long time since I last visited her,” she said. She was actually worried that Naomi would get upset if she learned about the failed NT scan.
“Don’t worry, she’s going to be okay,” he responded, sounding cold.
Olivia realized it was pointless to worry. With Tyler there, Naomi would be okay.
“Rest now,” he said.
She nodded at that. She actually wasn’t sleepy anymore, but she felt better seeing him at
home.
