Dylanâs gaze intensified.
âYouâre the only one.
Always and forever.
â
Olivia also stared at him.
Following the silence, neither felt inclined to pursue further actions.
Dylan guided her to the dining area.
Throughout the meal, he inquired about Leyla.
Olivia, with an indifferent expression, didnât offer much input, and Dylan understood her stance on the matter.
Perhaps in her mind, they were merely sexual partners.
Despite the warm ambiance of the dining room, a chill lingered in Dylanâs heart.
Nonetheless, he remained silent, focusing on serving her food.
With a gentle tone, he urged, âYouâre barely eating.
Have some more.
â
Bathed in the soft glow, Oliviaâs features exuded gentleness.
She had shed her innocence, blossoming into a woman of maturity.
Dylan found himself unable to tear his gaze away from her, captivated by her presence for a long time.
Recalling the events of that night, he felt a sense of bliss.
It was a moment shared with the woman he loved, and he enjoyed every second of it.
Yet he remained uncertain of Oliviaâs feelings.
After dinner, he had tasks to attend to in his study.
Subsequently, he noticed Oliviaâs absence in the bedroom.
Dylanâs heart constricted slightly, fearing that Olivia had silently departed.
Yet as he stepped out, he discovered her presence in the living room.
She sat on the sofa, engrossed in the TV show with focused eyes, an open bag of potato chips beside her.
The sight tugged at Dylanâs heartstrings.
In that moment, he was transported back to their golden days.
Each time he completed his work, Dylan would find Olivia indulging in snacks in secret.
No matter what he said, she persisted in her ways.
Dylanâs eyes tinged with redness.
He rubbed his temples before settling beside her, tilting his head slightly.
Olivia reached for the remote to change the channel, but Dylanâs hand intercepted hers.
Startled, she turned to meet his intense gaze.
Setting aside the snacks in her hand, she inquired, âHave you finished your work?â
He nonchalantly responded, âYeah, Iâm done.
â
He effortlessly lifted her onto his lap, her slender legs encircling his waist.
Though awkward, Olivia had no opportunity for protest.
Dylan dipped his head, capturing her lips in a kiss.
Urgency consumed him, leaving no room for foreplay.
