Chapter 162
âAre you sulking?â he asked.
Olivia wasn't exactly sulking. It wasn't just about him failing to wake her
upâit was more about how he seemed to have taken his steam out of
her lately. âNo,â she replied defiantly. âIf there's nothing else, I'll be
heading out. Thanks.â
Tyler knew the real issue but didnât seem interested in fixing it. âStay
tonight. We donât want rumors starting.â
They had just gotten âmarried,â and with his dad back home, they had
to show some respect. Olivia realized she couldn't act however she
pleased without caring about consequences anymore.
After a moment, Olivia gave in. âFine.â
Tyler let go of her arm. âThat's settled. You're free to do whatever else
you like. There aren't many rules here.â
He left, leaving Olivia feeling neglected. The IVF had been forced on
them, so why was he treating her like she'd wanted this all along?
Meanwhile, Colleen had already started gossiping. By the time Tyler
came downstairs, Maisy had heard everything. âDid you two have a
fight?":
âColleen told you?" Tyler asked.
âShe said you made her cry!â Maisy glared. âHow could you treat her
like that? She's your wife, not one of your employees! You need to be
more considerate. She's just a young girl who recently started college.
You're more mature than her!â
Tyler nodded, trying to placate her. âUnderstood. I'll keep that in mind.â
Maisy wasn't buying any of that, âSure you will. Honestly, canât you
treat her with a bit more enthusiasm? You just got married!â
Tyler's frown deepened, but he held back his retort. âI know. I don't
need you to remind me,
Grandmother.â
âGood. Off you go, then. I canât believe I have to teach you how to be a
husband.â
Colleen hadn't just told Maisy; she'd also informed Ana. Tyler ran into
them while wandering in the garden. He noticed his mother giving him
knowing glances as Colleen rambled on.
Tyler glared at Colleen, who quickly shut her mouth.
Ana smiled as she arranged flowers. âDonât worry, Colleen. Tyler loves
his wife. He knows how to treat her right, doesn't he?â She emphasized
âloves his wifeâ loudly enough for Tyler to hear.
He looked on coldly.
Meanwhile, Olivia composed herself before leaving the room. Colleen
approached her in the main
hall, hugging her arm. âAre you okay? Tyler didnât mistreat you, did
he?â
âN-No! He didnât. Not at all.â
