Ana spoke with a gentle smile. âYou're going to have a baby, so you
should just stay here and rest.â
The morning sun was shining as Ana was arranging flowers on the
table.
Olivia, even though she was pregnant, didn't let it get to her head.
She always remembered she was staying in someone elseâs home,
which made her feel uncomfortable.
She approached Ana, offering her help. âLet me help you.â
Ana was known to be quite reserved and not easily approachable, but
she had shown kindness to Olivia. Understanding Olivia's discomfort,
she let her help out.
âIf you behave, everything will be fine. Once you have the baby, you'll
be the lady of the Harris family. You'll have everything you desire, and
no one will be able to say anything to you. Understand? Your only job
is to ensure the baby is born healthy,â Ana explained.
Olivia felt caught in a difficult situation. She wasnât sure about the
future, but she knew her role was to ensure the baby's safe arrival. She
didnât seem to have to care about anything else.
âOkay, Mom."
âWe'll eat with Tyler when he comes down,â Ana suggested.
âSure,â Olivia replied.
Just like that, Olivia spent the morning helping Ana. She didnât know
much about arranging flowers, but Ana didn't fault her for the mistakes.
Instead, she patiently taught her, step by step.
This scene of Ana teaching Olivia was what Tyler saw as he came
downstairs. The table was adorned with flowers, enhancing Olivia's
beauty as she worked among them.
She seemed to be getting better.
The maid informed Tyler, âBreakfast is ready, sir,â as he watched them
from the staircase.
Only then did Olivia and Ana realize that he was there. Ana, holding a
rose, smiled at him. âWhy are you just standing there quietly, Tyler?â
Olivia, now aware of Tyler, looked at him too. She stopped what she
was doing, a bit startled by his gaze, and quietly put down the
scissors.
Tyler looked away and approached them. âWhat are you two doing?â
âI'm not being harsh on her. I'm doing this for her own good. If my
daughterâinâlaw is going to socialize with the wealthy wives, she needs
to know how to hold her own,â Ana explained.
Olivia remained silent, not commenting on Anaâs words.
âHave you eaten?â he asked Olivia.

âNot yet,â she responded.
âLet's eat then.â He invited her to join him for breakfast.
Ana,
still smiling, let her go. âGo on. I donât want him to think I'm bullying
you.â
Olivia was surprised to hear Ana joking around. She followed Tyler
without hesitation, not making any comment on Anaâs playful tease.
As they sat down to eat in the dining hall, Olivia found that her appetite
had returned somewhat. Her morning sickness wasn't bothering ber,
allowing her to eat a bit more than usual.
She slowly ate her whole wheat toast, sitting across from Tyler. He
served her some bacon and beef.
âIf you don't feel like eating them, just leave them,â he said.
Olivia tried some of the bacon and found it agreeable; she didn't feel
nauseous.
Tyler resumed eating with his usual elegance, resulting in a rather quiet
breakfast table.
After some time, he suggested, âIf you want to go out, make sure the
maid accompanies you.â
