Chapter 297
Tyler looked at Olivia for a while. She seemed sad.
How would he not notice her emotions these days? He was revealing his feelings in his eyes too
But he didn’t say anything.
Olivia went on, “I know you want to keep the baby safe, and you’re its father. But I’m feeling a lot better now, so you don’t have to worry so much and be around me all the thne,”
She felt they should keep some distance between them, even though Tyler was the father of the baby. His job was to look after the baby’s well–being, but that shouldn’t be an excuse to get intimate with her.
If they got too close, it would be stepping over a line.
Tyler let Olivia go. After a bit, he simply said, “Let’s sleep.”
Olivia quickly made sure there was a lot of space between them in bed, moving as far away from him as she could.
Tyler was already up when she woke up in the morning. Nina came in with a reminder. ” Sir, Ms. Ana said Olivia should get up early. They’re going to Yancey Bank’s 20th anniversary.”
Olivia was still lying in bed, while Tyler had already changed. He asked, “Yancey Bank’s 20th anniversary?”
He thought for a moment, and Nina stayed by the door. “Yes. The Pearces sent an invitation.”
The Harris and Pearce families had a weird relationship. They seemed close only when they worked together, but otherwise, there was a distance.
The Harrises always showed up at the Pearces‘ events, whether it was for family or business. The same went for the Pearces.
But Olivia felt the Harrises weren’t really into it.
Tyler said to her, “Got it. You may leave now.”
Nina left, and Tyler turned to Olivia. “Did Mom ask you to go with her?”
They’d been a bit awkward around each other since the night before, mainly because of Olivia. Tyler acted like nothing had changed.
“Mm–hmm,” she replied. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
He didn’t ask anything else and went to get his coat. Then he said, “Be careful there. It’s going to be packed, and I’m worried someone might bump into you.”
Olivia nodded, gripping the blanket. She said hesitantly, “I… I don’t want to go.
She was afraid of running into Claude if she went.
Tyler, who was fixing his tie, looked at her and noticed she was distracted. He walked
over and gently patted her head. “Why don’t you want to go?”
Startled by his sudden approach, Olivia stared at him with wide eyes.
She paused for a while before whispering, “It’s nothing.”
