Chapter 349
Tyler halted while getting dressed. “No. I’ll sleep in the guest room instead.”
Olivia’s heart skipped a beat. His gaze was the same as ever, yet sometimes she sensed a
change.
Tyler looked away, ready to leave.
Suddenly, Olivia felt a strange sensation in her belly. Surprised, she touched it.
Tyler, noticing her reaction, turned back. “What?” He looked concerned.
Olivia froze, her hand on her stomach. Tyler observed her for a moment, then approached. ” What’s wrong?”
It felt like a butterfly was fluttering inside her. After a pause, Olivia whispered, “The baby… He’s moving.”
Tyler frowned. Olivia, looking worried, asked, “Is that bad?”
She was four months along. Tyler stared at her pale face and said, “It’s fetal movement, I
believe.”
Olivia was stunned. “This early?” She gently rubbed her belly, looking at her slightly
swollen stomach.
A warm glow seemed to surround Olivia. She was in a sleeveless pink nightgown that showed her arms and back. She appeared youthful, but now there was a maternal shine to her. She grinned. “He sure moves around a lot! Must be fun stretching those little hands and feet, huh, little one?”
Olivia’s fears and doubts seemed to vanish as she caressed her belly, connecting with the
baby.
Tyler’s usually distant look softened as he watched her smile and touch her belly.
Just then, his phone buzzed. He picked it up and checked it.
His expression cooled instantly. It was a message from Naomi.
Tyler gave Olivia one last look and left the room without a word.
Olivia didn’t notice his departure, absorbed in the new sensations. Then, she looked up.
Tyler was already gone.
Her hand stilled, and her smile faded slightly.
