Clutching the bracelet in her little hands, she examined it with curiosity.
âThis is a gift from a nice uncle,â Olivia said softly.
Leyla repeated happily, âA gift!â
Olivia found it amusing.
At that moment, Dolly slipped into the room and settled quietly on the floor, fixing her gaze on Olivia.
The dog seemed to have a spirit of her own.
Olivia guessed that Dolly missed Dylan and was hoping for news about him.
But Olivia hadnât heard from Dylan herself.
It had been nearly a week since their last contact, though sheâd learned through his assistant that Dylan was with Gina, whoâd been diagnosed with breast cancer and had undergone surgery.
Olivia was stunned to hear the news.
How could Dylan stay with Gina in these circumstances? The doctors and nurses probably all thought he was Ginaâs husband!
But Olivia hadnât called Dylan to ask about it.
She felt she didnât have the right, nor did she think it was worth making a fuss over.
If Dylan truly cared about her, he would consider her feelings and keep a respectful distance from other women.
Olivia felt that if Dylan stayed overseas, she would like to keep Dolly with her, especially since Leyla was so fond of the dog.
Thinking of this, she leaned over and gently patted Dollyâs head.
The dog let out a low moan, almost like it was complaining about Dylanâs absence.
On Leylaâs birthday, Mark and Cecilia flew in from Czanch specifically for the occasion.
In addition to celebrating Leylaâs special day, they wanted to talk to Olivia about her personal life.
Theyâd heard that Dylan and Olivia had gotten back together, but there hadnât been any recent news.
Edwin wouldnât share anything with them, and eventually, Laura couldnât keep quiet under Markâs persistent questions.
After hearing what Laura said, Mark grew concerned about Olivia.
He then told Cecilia, âFind some men for her.
It doesnât matter if they end up getting married or not; itâs better than her being alone.
â
He continued angrily, âShe was widowed because of Dylan, and now heâs left her to care for another woman! Even if they love each other, their relationship wonât last.
â
Cecilia agreed with him.
So, she took the opportunity to ask around and then set Olivia up with a promising young man.
