Chapter 163
Colleen wasn't convinced. âNo way! I saw you crying on your bed!â
Olivia spotted Maisy in the hall and approached her, grimacing a little.
âSorry, I woke up late today.â She felt embarrassed for being the only
one who hadn't been up early in the Harris household. It made her
seem rude and messy.
Maisy frowned. âSweetie, you're apologizing for sleeping in? You were
busy! It's only natural you'd sleep in. When I was your age, I slept even
more!â
Before Olivia could respond, Maisy added, âNow, if Tyler bullies you,
just tell me. I'll support you!â
âYeah, we've got your back!â Colleen chimed in.
Olivia had no idea the situation had escalated beyond her control. She
was starting to feel a little embarrassed.
Maisy beckoned her over. âCome here, child. I'll treat you better than
that silly boy. Can't believe he upset you so soon after the wedding!â
Colleen pushed and guided Olivia to sit with Maisy.
Olivia realized she couldn't explain herself anymore. Tyler hadn't
mistreated her at all. It was all in her head, but she had no way out of it
now.
At lunch, Ana brought up the issue. âI heard Tyler mistreated you today.
Is that true?â
âN-No! Not at all, Aunt Ana!â Olivia replied instantly.
t
Ana put her fork and knife down. âAunt Ana?" she repeated. Keith
watched from the side.
Olivia shot a glance at Tyler, hoping for guidance, but he remained
expressionless.
Keith seemed annoyed. He and his wife had always wanted Olivia to
address them as
1
as her
parents.
The atmosphere grew tense. Suddenly, Tyler turned to Olivia and
casually remarked, âOld habits die hard, huh? Well, good thing there's
still a grace period for you!â
âRight. Mom, Dad,â Olivia said with great difficulty.
Keith's expression softened. âNow that's better.â
Ana smiled. âNow, Tyler may seem cold sometimes, but we all care for
you as our daughterâinâlaw, alright?â
Olivia was silent, still adjusting to her new role.
Keith turned to his wife. âWait, these two lovebirds had a fight?"
âWho knows? Why don't you ask them yourself?â Ana chuckled..

âNo
we didnât fight. Colleen made it up,â Tyler interjected quickly.
Keith observed their faces but said nothing. There was only so much
one could do in their child's relationships.
Olivia couldn't remember how lunch ended. They stayed at the
residence for another day before leaving for Sandalwood Palace that
night.
During the journey, neither of them tried to break the ice.
