Chapter 220
1/2
Olivia was quietly listening to the phone conversation between Tyler
and Naomi. She had no idea what they were talking about, but it was
clear Tyler cared a lot about their baby.
Their chat wasn't filled with loveyâdovey words; it was quite simple and
normal.
She suddenly recalled Tyler once saying that eventually, all kinds of
love transform into a blend of family love and responsibilities. That
seemed accurate to her because she couldn't sense any excitement or
longing in their talk, yet their connection appeared strong.
Looking out the window, Olivia thought about how complex love was.
After hanging up, Tyler told her, âIt was Naomi who called.â
"I know. How is she?â Olivia asked.
âShe's doing okay,â he replied.
She nodded in relief. âThat's great. I hope she gets even better.â
Tyler took a moment before saying, âShe will.â
When they arrived home, Maisy was eager to know about the checkâ
up. Linda shared that the baby was developing nicely and was healthy.
Maisy was thrilled and went to Olivia, touching her belly with
excitement, âWow, it's no surprise you've been feeling this way. The
baby must be really strong.â
Olivia didnât mind Majsy touching her belly, even though she was still
getting used to people talking about her pregnancy.
Tyler noticed Olivia's discomfort and lightly scolded, âItâs still small, stop
saying that.â
He then asked the maid to help Olivia rest upstairs.
Maisy understood Olivia needed to rest after the check-up, so she
stepped back, advising, âMake sure to rest well. It's important when
you're pregnant.â
âOkay, Grandma.â
The maid helped her upstairs, and Tyler watched her go before looking
away.
The next morning, during breakfast, Ana mentioned she'd take Olivia to
a gathering with other wealthy wives. She told Tyler about it.
He immediately looked at Olivia. âDo you want to go?â
Thinking about her role, Olivia agreed, âSure, I'll go with Mom.â

He didnât stop her. âOkay. Take her since she'd like to go.â
Ana was delighted. âI'm so happy to have my daughterâinâlaw join
me. It's wonderful.â
Olivia fell silent, while Tyler went back to his newspaper.
After breakfast, Ana prepared Olivia for the event, choosing outfits to
make her look less like a student and more confident. Eventually,
Olivia put on a white dress.
Ana, sitting on the couch, admired her. âMy daughter-in-law is truly
beautiful.â
Olivia was cautious about not upsetting anyone at this time. Naomi's
life would be secured after she gave birth to the baby. To avoid
causing trouble for Naomi, she chose not to provoke Ana. She was
willing to make compromises to keep the peace between both partiesâ
at least until the child was
born.
âYou have great taste, Mom,â she complimented. Ana smiled. âYou're
so sweet.â
