Just as she thought Dylan had drifted off to sleep, he whispered, Olivia, even after Easons birth, youre still distant from me.
I know its not that you cant forgive me.
Its that you cant stop blaming yourself⦠If you hadnt given me a chance back then, maybe none of this would have happened! Dylan had consulted a psychologist.
The psychologist explained that Olivias behavior stemmed from anxiety.
She most likely believed keeping her distance from Dylan would prevent further hurt.
This was challenging, especially given their frequent encounters.
This was why Olivia was struggling. As he finished speaking, Dylan embraced her tightly.
Olivia looked away and said flatly, Ive never thought that way! Its not as complicated as you think, Dylan! Upon hearing Olivias words, Dylan held back his response.
He resolved not to fight with his loved one.
From then on, he never argued and always respected Olivia! If not for Dylan, Olivia wouldnt be facing such struggles.
He was entirely to blame! Yet, she didnt push him away.
She let him stay and him help with Eason, even spending time with her family.
All the while, she bore her pain alone.
Reflecting on this, Dylan held her even tighter.
She was out of sorts and uninterested in anything⦠Suddenly, Dylan sobbed up.
Hearing Olivias explanation, he questioned whether he had truly satisfied her previously⦠As dawn approached, Dylan had an epiphany and whispered in her ear, Even if you are unwell, Ill always be here for you! Ill pack my things and move in with you as soon as possible.
Hearing his proposal, Olivia was stunned.
What the heck? Why would you want to move into my house? Im not looking to support anyone else.
Dylan leaned close, his breath on her neck, and whispered, Ill transfer all my assets to you.
From now on, Ill be the provider. You can rely on me to take care of you, Leyla, and Eason⦠I just need a little cash for gas and cigarettes.
Olivia glanced at him and replied indifferently, If you do that, youll regret it when you cant even afford a decent jacket to impress any young ladies in the future! Im too old to worry about that now, Dylan said quietly.
While he fell asleep, Olivia lay awake.
She was still uncomfortable sharing her bed with someone else, but it seemed Dylan really meant it⦠He genuinely wanted to be with her and move in.
She found no reason to reject his offer.
After some thought, she considered that maybe it was worth a shot! It would be beneficial for the kids to live with their father.
Moreover, she didnt want her parents to constantly worry about her.
