Chapter 114
âYou should drink your broth before it gets cold,â Tyler suggested.
âRight, you should do that now. I was just a bit distracted,â Mrs. Jones
chimed in hurriedly.
Naomi studied her motherâs face. There was something off about her
today; she could sense it.
Tyler and Mrs. Jones left together.
Once in the car, Mrs. Jones finally spoke up. âOlivia hasn't become
pregnant yet, has she? Maybe we should consider IVF instead. What
do you think?
He regarded her carefully. âDid Naomi mention this?â
âNo, it's just something I thought about. Olivia... is still young. I was
concerned that your relationship might develop into something more
than it already is.â
Tyler stared at her coldly.
âI mean...I was only suggesting it for Naomi's sake. I wouldn't want
things to get awkward between you two in the future,â Mrs. Jones
hurriedly added, realizing she had been too forward.
âI'll think about this,â Tyler said curtly, his expression inscrutable and
stern.
Why did he even care about Mrs. Jones's opinion? Well, it was out of
basic respect. If it weren't for the fact that she was Naomi's mother, he
wouldn't have given it a second thought.
As the car stopped at Mrs. Jones's house, she got out. Tyler watched
her disappearing silhouette icily.
Olivia returned to Sandalwood Palace feeling a bit under the weather
and went straight to her room. She waited anxiously for Tyler to come
back, uncertain how long he would be with her sister.
Then, around 3 o'clock, she heard a car pull up.
Stepping out onto the stairs, she spotted Tyler entering the hall. He
noticed her almost immediately.
He gestured for her to follow him silently. âNot here,â he mouthed.
Olivia followed him into his study.
âI think I want to move out, Tyler,â she began.
Tyler took a moment to absorb her words before asking, âIs this really
what you
want?â
"Yes."
âCan you tell me why?â he asked, his tone calm.

âI just don't think I can stay here any longer because of what happened
today,â Olivia answered.
A lot had happened that day. Anaâs words, Naomi's reaction to the
bracelet, Mrs. Jones's presence...
âWe're... There's nothing between us. I don't want people to think
otherwise,â she finally explained. Tyler wondered what ânothingâ really
meant.
