Chapter 227
âYou can treat me like a brother if you'd like,â Claude offered.
Olivia looked at Claude, a big smile spreading across her face. âYeah,
will!â
She really admired him, regardless of his past or any issues with the
Harris family.
"Go on now.â
She started to leave, but after taking a step, she paused and looked
back. âWhy are you so kind to me?"
He pondered for a moment before answering, âMaybe because I feel
sorry for you.â
Olivia was surprised to hear that. Still, she smiled and replied, âI'm
doing this because I want to. It'll make me happy to see Naomi get
better.â
Little did she know, this was just the beginning of a very tough journey
for her, stepping into a role meant for someone else, and carrying a
child that linked her to her sisterâs fiance.
Claude watched her hopeful, naive face. âI hope you find happiness
every day.â
âAlright, I really should go now,â she said.
âYou know your way back, right?"
âI won't get lost,â she assured him, shaking her head.
Claude then remembered something else and added, âI also want to
say sorry for Sophie... about Jacob.

âIt's okay, Claude. I've moved on.â
He chuckled, seeing she had let it go. âGood.â
Olivia then quickly left.
Claude stood in the corridor, watching her go.
Olivia returned to Ana almost five minutes later. The latter looked at her
and asked, âWhat took you so long?â
âI felt sick suddenly, so I slowed down,â Olivia explained.
âAre you alright now?â Ana asked with concern.
âYes, I'm feeling better,â Olivia replied quickly.
âJust be careful, especially now. You're carrying the familyâs future
grandchild,â Ana reminded her seriously.

Naturally, Olivia understood. To them, it wasnât about her; it was about
the baby. Nobody was really concerned about her.
âYeah, I'll be careful,â she agreed.
Ana said flatly, âGo sit on the couch.â
A maid helped her over to the couch.
Olivia had decided she'd do whatever was asked of her, as long as she
didn't offend Ana or affect
Naomi.
Sitting down, she looked around at the fancy event, feeling out of place
in a world that was so unfamiliar to herâa world she didnât really belong
to.
She thought about Naomi, realizing she would have been the one here,
mingling gracefully, if she were well.
