Chapter 281
Tyler was struck by Olivia's wide, innocent eyes and paused before
replying softly, âSure. âHe then gently touched her stomach, whispering,
âBe good.â
Olivia looked down at his hand. Her stomach wasn't showing the
pregnancy yet, so his hand covered most of it.
She felt the baby calm down under his touch.
The next day, Tyler took Olivia to her school to get some fresh air while
he visited a club nearby. There, he met up with a couple of friends for
drinks.
They cheered for him becoming a father, and he smiled warmly, sipping
his wine. âShe's just a few months along.â
âYou're keeping it quite lowâkey. I wouldn't have known you're going to
be a dad if it wasn't for the rumor going around.â
Dylan Reid, Tyler's longtime friend and former classmate, was the one
who brought it up. He was confused by the situation.
Tyler had previously been very open about Naomi's illness, consulting
doctors all over the world to find a bone marrow match, which cost a
fortune.
Everyone thought Tyler and Naomi's bond was unbreakable, even in
the face of her illness. Yet, here he was, married and about to be a
father in secret.
The news was shocking to them all.
Especially curious was who had quickly taken Naomi's place as Tyler's
wife, a woman none of them had met yet, this mysterious Mrs. Harris.
Tyler hadn't invited anyone to their wedding.
Sitting back with his wine, Tyler smiled as he listened to Dylan's
questions. âThe baby was a bit of a surprise, so I didn't rush to share
the news. It's early days yet."
Dylan was dying of curiosity. Who could win Tyler's heart other than
Naomi? He wanted to know who it was.
"Who is this Mrs. Harris? What does she look like? Is she from abroad?
Can you show us a picture or something?" he asked.
Chaer 201
Tyler, still relaxed, responded, âShe's not from abroad. She's quiet, not
too active, not sociable. I'll bring her along next time.â
His tone was calm, yet there was a hint of happiness when he spoke of
her.
Dylan probed further, âHow old is she? What does she do?"
At that, Tyler paused, his smile fading. âShe's a lot younger than me.
She's still in university.â
âDamn, a university student?!â Dylan's jaw almost dropped, staring at
Tyler in shock.
Tyler simply placed his wine glass down and didn't react to Dylan's
astonishment.
Dylan decided he had to meet this woman himself. The idea of Mrs.
Harris being just a
student seemed unbelievable.
That was just ridiculous.
