Chapter 213
âWhy did you call, Naomi? I'm okay...â
Naomi noticed Olivia's hoarse voice. âI talked to Tyler, and he told me
about Jacob.â
âOh... Yeah, I'm alright, Naomi."
Naomi was unaware of Olivia's relationship with Jacob. She thought
something was going on with her and Claude, but now it seemed she
made a mistake. Olivia still couldn't let go of Jacob.
âYou should try to forget about the past, Olivia. I'm the one who caused
you all this trouble.â
Olivia was caught off guard. âDonât say that, Naomi. It has nothing to
do with you.â
âHow can you say that? If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have... split
up with Jacob.â
Naomi continued, âOlivia, if it's meant to be, you wouldn't lose it. Don't
waste your tears on him.
He's not worth it.â
Olivia listened to her try to cheer her up. She nodded. âYeah, Naomi. I
know.â
âOh, my silly sister.â Naomi felt a bit helpless.
To Olivia's surprise, she felt a bit better. After a brief silence from
Naomi, Olivia said, âIf thereâs nothing else, Naomi, I'm going to hang
up.â
âYeah, go get some rest,â replied Naomi.
Olivia felt a bit lighter after the call.
Standing still, phone in hand, she saw Tyler at the door. He looked in
to check on her, and she avoided his gaze upon seeing him, her hold
on the phone tightening.
He only after confirming she was fine.
Hillary had been waiting for Naomiâs update. She called as soon as
Naomi was done with the phone
calls.
Naomi picked up, knowing it was her mom.
âHow did it go, Naomi?â Hillary asked.
âLet's just take it easy, Mom,â Naomi replied in a tired voice.
Hillary was puzzled. âWhat do you mean?â
âOlivia's been through a lot lately. Plus, sheâs been really sick in the
mornings. We should just give her a break,â Naomi explained.
âWhat happened?â Hillary was still confused.

âIt's about her and Jacob. He's with Sophie now. I just talked to Olivia,
and yeah, sheâs upset,â Naomi
shared.
Hillary turned pale. âShe did the right thing by breaking up with Jacob.
Why be sad over someone who was not right for her? And what does
this have to do with her moving out of Sandalwood Palace?â
âMom, the breakup was because of Tyler and me. Just give me some
time. I'll talk to Tyler about it,â Naomi tried to explain.
Hillary was pissed but paused to think. âOkay, let's just wait then.â
Naomi hung up.
Hillary was worried. Despite everything, she felt threatened by the
situation.
Meanwhile, Naomi, too, was deep in thought after ending the call.
The next day, Olivia felt much better. She went downstairs and called
out, âAunt-" then corrected herself, âMom.â
It was still hard for her to call Ana that.
