Chapter 100

Olivia had been asleep throughout the car ride back home, cradled in
Tyler's arms. As they arrived at the house, the maid, who was still
awake, rushed over to them with concern in her eyes.
âWhat's wrong with her, Mr. Tyler? What happened?â She fretted,
seeing Olivia in such a state while Tyler carried her.
Tyler ignored her and proceeded to carry Olivia upstairs to her room.
Sensing his anger, the maid wisely refrained from asking further
questions and kept her distance. She smelled alcohol that seemed to
be coming from Olivia.
Tyler laid Olivia gently on the bed, his anger now apparent. He couldn't
contain himself any longer and scolded her in a low voice, âYou're really
naughty, Olivia.â
Still unconscious, Olivia did not respond to his almost inaudible
reprimand. Tyler gently massaged
her temples, caressed her nose, and then her soft lips.
The next morning, Olivia slowly awoke to find herself in a comfortable
bed. She shifted slightly, and just as she was beginning to gather her
bearings, there was a knock at the door.
Turning her head, she was taken aback to see Tyler entering the room.
She instinctively gripped the blanket when she saw him, but soon she
composed herself and called out, âTyler.â
Tyler paused by the bedside. âI thought I'd have to call the doctor.â He
was referring to her state of drunkenness from the previous night.
Olivia had initially forgotten the events of the previous evening. Her
expression remained distant as she replied, âIt was Sophie's birthday,
so I had some drinks.â
âDo you remember what happened last night?â Tyler's tone was less
gentle than usual, it was cold. He sounded like a completely different
person.
She had completely blanked out on how she had arrived home the
previous night. She knew she had
vomited in the bathroom, and the next thing she remembered was
waking up in her current
surroundings.
What happened? What did he mean?
Instinctively, she checked her clothes and realized she had been
changed into a clean sleep dress. After a moment of bewilderment, she
shook her head. âI don't remember. All I know is that I was drunk.â
She thought for a moment before asking further, âI only got drunk at
Sophie's party. Did something happen in between?â

âDrink less. It's bad for your health.â
She maintained the usual attitude. âI only drink occasionally. I won't do
it again.â
Tyler, still cold, replied, âI hope there won't be a next time. I have no
right to control you, but I don't want to have to look for you in the middle
of the night again, especially in a hotel.â
The mention of a hotel left Olivia even more confused. She couldn't
recall what had transpired. Realizing how cold Tyler's tone had
become, she hung her head and apologized, âI'm really sorry for
causing you trouble again, Tyler.â
She appeared genuinely remorseful, and Tyler seemed satisfied with
her response. After making sure
that she was alright, he turned around and left.
However, he stopped halfway and asked, âDo you know Claude?â
Olivia struggled to recall the name at first, but a few memories from the
night before started to surface. She answered quickly, âClaude? The
lifesaver?â
