Chapter 257: Chapter 257

Chapter 257

Tyler didn't hide the truth. In a straightforward way, he shared with

Naomi what had happened to Olivia.

"Was it serious?” Naomi asked.

He looked stern. “She needed to stay in bed to keep the baby safe, so I

took her outside for a bit of fresh air.”

“Tyler, do you think Gina was wrong to speak that way about her

mom?”

Tyler looked at her, pausing for a moment.

Naomi smiled. “I don't like it when people talk about Olivia that way.

She's my sister. But what Gina said wasn't wrong. Her mom did hurt

our family a lot. My mom took Olivia in when she lost her own mom.

“What do you think I should have done, Naomi?” he turned the question

back to her.

“It felt like you cared for her so much that you forgot about how I felt,”

she replied.

“Naomi,” Tyler's voice got deeper, and his expression darkened.

Ho

Seeing his face change, Naomi, still smiling, asked, “Should I not have

mentioned that?"

“So this is what you think?”

The atmosphere between them became tense.

She went silent too, her expression cold. “I heard from my mom that

everyone knows. she's your wife now,” she said.

With a stern face, Tyler replied, “Isn't this what you wanted from the

beginning? You shouldn't act like this, no matter how upset you are.”

Naomi felt hurt by his words.

But he wasn't finished. “So, you want me to stop caring for Olivia, to

ignore everything she’s going through? She had to become a mom

before even finishing college just for you, and you think I'm ignoring

you?”

“Do you think I'm selfish, Tyler?” she asked, her voice cold and her

eyes wide with shock.

Tyler knew he had been too harsh, but he stayed quiet, his expression

solemn and unyielding.

Chapter 257

Wanting to ease the tension, Naomi, trembling, admitted, “I'm sorry,

Tyler. I've been selfish and didn't consider Olivia's situation.”

After a brief pause, she continued, “I'm just... scared. Now that she’s

your wife...”

Her trembling grew worse.

Then, she threw herself into his arms, letting out all her bottled—up

emotions. Tears streaming, she confessed, “I don't feel safe at all,

Tyler... I'm really scared that you might

fall in love with Olivia...”

Tyler placed his hands on her shoulders, not sure how much time had

gone by. His face. showed no feelings. He looked down and didn’t say

anything.

No one could tell what he was feeling at the moment.

After a while, he finally said, “Why would 1? To me, she’s just your

sister.’

How could Naomi not notice the brief hesitation in Tyler's voice?
