Chapter 286
Tyler supported himself next to Olivia when she woke up. He leaned
over a bit and gently asked, âAre you up?â
She was still in a daze. She grabbed the blanket and looked at him, still
half-asleep,â You're home?"
He looked down, with a gentle look in his eyes. âMin hmm, I'm home.
Did you have a good sleep?â
Olivia felt really tired because of her pregnancy. She could sleep as
soon as her head hit the pillow.
She said, âI think I slept for about half an hour. It was nice.â
Then she noticed something. âYou reck of alcohol,â She quickly
covered her nose with the blanket and made a face. âYou've been
drinking.â
Tyler chuckled a bit when he saw her reaction. âYes, I had a few drinks.
I'm in a good
mood.â
Olivia gave him a puzzled look.
He kept staring at her, smiling. âDid you behave today?â
At first, she wasn't sure what he meant. Then he said, âI was asking our
baby.â
Only then did she figure it out. She hadn't been feeling sick much lately.
She nodded. â Mm-hmm...â
âLet me feel it,â Tyler said..
He was a bit tipsy, so he was extra gentle. He seemed very kind.
Olivia was really sensitive to smells now, so she didnât like the strong
smell of alcohol. She kept the blanket over her nose. After hesitating,
she lifted her shirt a little.
Her belly wasn't flat anymore. There was a small bump.
She noticed it when she saw the bump. She turned her head away,
feeling shy.
âI think I've gained weight,â she whispered..
Tyler was gentle as he touched the bump. He placed his hand on it,
feeling the baby.
Nobody knew how long this would last when Olivia said, âI might catch
a cold, Tyler.â The blanket muffled her voice.
Tyler removed his hand but still looked at her belly. âItâs fine if you've
gained weight. Your belly will get even bigger. The little thing is growing
after all.â
In that moment, Olivia felt really calm. It was a warm and cozy feeling,
like being in a warm bath.
He pulled the blanket to cover her belly. âPlease look like mommy.â
Olivia couldn't even guess what their baby might look like. But it didnât
matter. The most important thing was the baby's health.
Tyler stayed by the bed for a bit longer. He thought he'd spare her from
the alcohol smell. âGet some more sleep. I'm going to take a shower.â
Olivia, only her eyes peeking out from the blanket, nodded.
They were like an ordinary coupleâa shy young wife and a mature,
good-looking husband. They were a good match.
He watched her while smiling for a bit longer before going to the
bathroom.
After he left, Olivia felt relieved. She loosened her grip on the blanket
and breathed more easily.
She began imagining what the baby would look like, recalling what
Tyler had said.
She was still in bed when he came back from the shower, no longer
reeking of alcohol.
