Chapter 312
Tyler smiled, but no one could tell if it was genuine.
Dylan said, âYou were so distracted that you didn't even see the hole.â
He then asked, hinting at trouble, âWhat's up? Is your wife giving you a
hard time?"
Tyler got up from the couch when he heard this. He walked over to the
bar and poured himself more wine.
Dylan and Josh exchanged looks. They could tell something was off.
Tyler grabbed his wine glass and faced them. âSheâs fine,â he said
simply.
âWhy doesn't it seem like it?â Dylan asked, his face full of suspicion.
Tyler replied, âSeems like you two are very interested in my marriage.â
They didn't ask any more questions.
Tyler swirled his wine, his expression growing cold.
Later that day, Olivia was sitting on the couch in the living room, with
Maisy nearby. Maisy sensed something was wrong and asked, âI heard
you had a disagreement with Tyler?"
Olivia quickly responded, âWe didn't fight, Grandma.â
Maisy, observant as ever, didnât seem convinced. âTyler isn't one to
hold grudges. Just say something nice to him.â
Olivia stayed quiet. She had been quiet for the last few days.
Tyler entered while they were talking.
Maisy looked up and asked, âWhy did you walk home?"
âI parked the car a bit away and decided to walk,â Tyler replied,
stepping into the room.
The room lights highlighted his face. He wasn't smiling but appeared
calm.
Maisy glanced between Olivia, who was sitting next to her, and Tyler,
then asked, âHave you eaten?â
âI ate already. No need to get them to cook for me,â he answered.
Maisy then turned to Olivia. âTyler is going to shower, Olivia. Go get his
clothes ready.â
Olivia didnât move at first, even as Tyler stared at her. After a few
seconds, she stood and
walked over to him.
He looked away, his expression neutral, as she approached. Then he
headed upstairs, with Olivia following.
Maisy smiled, relieved to see them together.
In their room, Olivia said, âLet me get your clothes, Tyler.â
She was just doing as she was told. As she was about to fetch his
clothes, Tyler stopped her. â No need.â
She paused, surprised by his response.
Tyler went to the wardrobe himself.
Olivia, remembering something, asked, âUm... Did Nina quit?â
He paused and turned to face her. âI fired her.â
She looked at him, puzzled and taken aback.
âWhy keep someone who just gossips?â Tyler said, looking directly at
her.
