Chapter 134
Tylerâs tone was so calm, yet it carried an underlying chill. He
mentioned âtaunting,â but Olivia didnât understand what he meant.
Not wanting to escalate into an argument, Tyler closed his eyes and
remarked, âWell, it's expected for your sister to say all that. I'm just
reminding you and don't have the right to interfere.â
The entire journey home passed in silence.
Olivia reflected if her words had been too harsh since Tyler didnât
respond, and he remained silent as
well.
When the car arrived at Sandalwood Palace, Olivia was trying to find a
way to ease the mood, but
Tyler beat her to it. âIf you need a ride after class, just call me. If you
don't want to call me, you can always call the driver. Alright?â
Olivia was surprised. Not only was he not angry, but he spoke with
such gentleness, making her feel she had been too harsh earlier.
Quietly, she apologized, âI'm sorry, Tyler,â with sincerity in her voice.
Tyler regarded her as though she were a child throwing a tantrum.
âLet's hope it doesn't happen again.â
âOkay,â she mumbled, lowering her gaze.
With that, Tyler proceeded upstairs, leaving Olivia standing in the
hallway.
That night, Olivia lay in bed, reflecting on Tyler's words, before
gradually drifting off to sleep.
The next morning, Claude texted her a picture of some scenery and
smiling children. Olivia recognized one of the children.
She stared at it for a long time, then replied, âYou went to our village to
teach before?â
Olivia had spent her early years in a village with her mother. Her
grandmaâs house was nestled deep in the village, and there was a
small school with only a handful of students. Olivia often played there
and recognized the children.
Claude replied promptly, âYour village?"
âYou went to Sereneville, right?â
Claude confirmed, âI went there three years ago. There was a disabled
child named Natalie in the picture.â
Olivia felt a surge of happiness as memories flooded back. âYes,
Natalie. Her legs didn't move well, and her grandpa would carry her to
school every day. She's such a joyful child. She always called me

Livi.â
âI think she mentioned Livi to me before.â
âReally?â Olivia marveled at the small world they shared, even though
they had never met.
âYes. She said Livi used to braid her hair, take her to the river, and
give her candy. Was that you?â
Olivia's heart swelled with emotion. Everything was as she
remembered. It had been a long time since she last visited.
âHow is she? Has she grown taller?â
âWhen I left three years ago, she had grown taller and could take a few
steps with the support of the desks.â
