How could she have expected to glean anything from his eyes? She
almost chuckled at her own audacity. âCan I go now?â
The air thickened with tension.
âI get it. You're mad at me. Stay here while you cool down. I'll bring
you some water,â Tyler said, breaking the silence.

That night, Olivia was brought back to Sandalwood Palace. A maid
helped her up to her room to rest.
The injury wasn't too severe, but its location made every movement
painful. The maid assisted with cleaning her up before leaving. Then
Tyler entered the room.
âMr. Tyler,â the maid greeted, straightening her back.
âYou may go now.

Once they were alone, Olivia closed her eyes and turned away.
Tyler sat next to her on the bed, unbothered. âStill angry?â
Olivia relaxed but didn't let it show. After a brief moment of holding

regularly to prevent any complications with the blisters.â
âGot it,â she replied matterâofâfactly.
They fell into silence before Tyler spoke up again, âI shouldn't have
assumed the worst of you or suggested behavior that goes against
who you are. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said those things.â
His apology sounded surprisingly sincere to Olivia. âI'm not the person

me?â
âWhat made you lose control in the first place?â she asked reflexively,
without a second thought.

Then, it hit her. Alarmed, she looked away, scared to see something
she didn't want to see.
He noticed her reaction and reined in his emotions. He decided not to
pressure her into accepting his feelings. Ten minutes later, he said
calmly, âIs there anyone you want to invite to the wedding banquet?â
She looked at him.
âI've sent out invitations from my side. Do you have anyone in mind?â
