Chapter 158
Colleen stuck her tongue out. âTyler, I'm just showing my love to your
wife. Can't I peek into your room to see her? Just a quick visit?"
Tyler's expression remained unchanged. âKnock before you come in.â
âFine, fine,
âColleen relented. She then turned her attention to the jewelry on the
table, particularly the ring. âSince you bought the ring, why aren't you
wearing it? Is it just going to stay in the box?"
Neither Tyler nor Olivia responded.
Noticing their silence, Colleen pressed on. âWhy bother buying it if
you're not going to wear it?"
Tyler walked over, took his ring, put it on his ring finger, and then
glanced at Colleen. âHappy now, Ms. Colleen?â
Colleen looked at Olivia.
Initially hesitant, Olivia eventually approached the table, retrieved her
ring, and placed it on her finger as well.
Colleen then grabbed Olivia's hand and inspected it. âI wouldn't expect

suits Olivia perfectly.â
Unable to pull away, Olivia stood still as Colleen examined her ring.
Tyler intervened, âAlright, go downstairs and play.â

âWhy are you kicking me out, Tyler?â Colleen protested, but eventually
released Olivia's hand. Olivia quickly pulled it away.
Just then, the maid announced that dinner was served. Despite
Colleenâs displeasure, she bid Olivia farewell. âI'll come see you again,
Olivia,â she promised before going downstairs.
Left alone in the room, Olivia wanted to remove her ring, but as she
began to do so, Tyler stopped her. âKeep it on for now,â he instructed
before leaving the room without removing his own ring.
Olivia thought about it. Not wearing the ring could lead to speculation
among the numerous guests present, especially with another party to
follow. They needed to do what was necessary.
She looked at the ring, then put it back onto her finger.
Dinner was served in the garden, with maids presenting dish after dish.
Olivia accompanied Tyler, mingling with the guests at each table.
As they moved through the garden, Olivia held onto Tyler's arm with
her left hand, while Tyler held a wine glass in his left, their rings glinting
in the light.
A lot of people congratulated them, to which Tyler and Olivia graciously
replied with smiles and thank
-yous.
The elders of the Harris family were particularly warm toward Olivia,
holding her hand and complimenting Tyler. âTyler, I didnât expect you to
marry so soon. Your wife is very beautifu
Receiving such kindness from the relatives, Olivia didnât resist as the
older ladies held her hand, simply playing along
Tyler smiled at their compliments. âThank you for your kind words to
her.â
