Before making up her mind, Olivia braced herself for the worst-case scenario and then told herself things would work out one way or another⦠Time flew swiftly.
As Dylan prepared to pick up Leyla, he had the pink car ready and was dressed in flashy attire.
Olivia observed his ensemble and remarked on its flamboyance.
Where did you get this car? Surely youre not planning to drive it, are you? she inquired.
Dylan accelerated and replied, This is your ride.
The color is a perfect match for you.
Dylan frequently presented her with lavish gifts.
Olivia would occasionally accept some, but the ostentatious car was just too much.
Despite her reluctance, Dylan insisted, I cant see myself driving something this flashy. So you knew it was too showy?! Olivia responded with resignation.
Given the cars extravagance and Dylans attractiveness, it was clear he would be a magnet for many admirers.
This thought made Olivia chuckle and she seemed to relax, returning to her cheerful self.
At her doorstep, Dylan leaned in for a kiss.
Olivia attempted to push him away as he expressed his frustration softly, Youve tried every possible way to avoid intimacy with me.
You even resist my kisses now.
When will you consider taking me back? They were already discussing it, and Olivia didnt shy away.
I wont marry again.
Im fed up with our constant breakups and reconciliations.
If its marriage you want, then maybe we shouldnt do this at all, she declared firmly.
..
Library She was candid.
Shed cohabit but wouldnt wed him.
Essentially, Olivia sought a caretaker and companion in Dylan, who was ideally suited for the role.
Currently, her feelings for him werent rooted in love, a harsh reality to acknowledge.
Dylan held the steering wheel with one hand and looked intently into Olivias eyes.
So, youre saying we can live together and raise children as long as we get along, but were free to separate if things dont work out? Is that the freedom we have in this relationship? he asked. Olivia gave her consent quietly.
Dylan watched her closely for a moment.
He longed to marry her, but wouldnt press her against her will.
However, he needed to ensure something else in this relationship for himself.
In a subdued tone, he ventured, If Im proved to be a good partner, might we consider another child? Olivia blushed deeply.
Really, Dylan? Why dont you try having one on your own! Embarrassed, Dylan retorted, Im a man.
I cant give birth, but together, we can have a child.
She accused him of being impudent and made to leave the car.
