Chapter 46: Chapter 46

Chapter 46

Olivia couldn't help but wonder if she might be infertile. After all,

despite trying for a long time, she hadn't been able to get pregnant.

In a choked voice, she said, “I know you have no interest in me, but we

will only be free as soon 1 as I get pregnant. You and Naomi will be

together forever by then, and you'll stop fighting.”

Her words seemed to add fuel to the fire. Tyler looked at her with a grim

expression as he heard her pitiful plea.

She didn’t know why she had said it, but she meant nothing more than

her plea for his understanding.

He remained silent and continued kissing her, though it was clear he

was trying to control and suppress his emotions.

The next morning, Olivia helped the maid cook again, but her mind was

clearly elsewhere. Her hands moved mechanically, and she didn’t

seem to be fully aware of her actions.

The maid noticed that she had placed tomato skins into a bowl, saying,

“Ms. Olivia, you might cut your hand!”

Suddenly, Olivia's hand slipped, and she saw blood welling up from a

cut on her fingertip. The pain startled her, causing her to drop the

tomato and knife into the sink with a loud clatter. She quickly brought

her bleeding finger to her lips.

Tyler, who had been sitting at the dining table reading the newspaper,

heard the commotion. He immediately set the newspaper aside and

rushed into the kitchen.

The maid was clearly concerned about Olivia's bleeding finger as she

checked the injury. “Oh no, it’s bleeding!"

Tyler, now in the kitchen, saw Olivia sucking on her injured finger. Her

lips were stained with the redness of her own blood. She appeared

slightly panicked but quickly looked away.

The maid quickly informed Tyler about Olivia's wound when he entered

the kitchen. “Mr. Tyler, Ms. Olivia accidentally cut her finger while she

was cutting the tomato.”

Without much warmth in his tone, Tyler said, “Get the first aid kit to stop

the bleeding and clean her wound.”

Olivia remained standing, her back to him, and she didn’t make eye

contact.

He looked at her for a few seconds, then left when the maid brought

the first aid kit over.

After the maid cleaned Olivia's wound, she instructed her to stay away

from the kitchen. Olivia obediently sat down at the dining table when

she noticed Tyler.

It was still dark outside since it was only six in the morning. Silence

enveloped them; neither of them

spoke.

Tyler set aside the newspaper he had been reading and asked, “Is the

cut deep?” It sounded like he was asking out of courtesy.

Olivia bit her lip and shook her head. “It doesn’t hurt.” She avoided eye

contact, and her eyelashes trembled slightly in the gentle glow of the

room.

Tyler gave a flat response, and they lapsed into silence once again. He

resumed reading his

newspaper.

Shortly afterward, the maid brought the first dish to the table and then

returned to the kitchen. Wondering why they were up so early and

appeared to have not slept much, she continued preparing

food.

Tyler put down the newspaper when the food was served. He noticed

Olivia was still sitting there. Let's eat. You can take a nap later.”

Olivia had a class in two hours, but her feelings were difficult to

discern. Her pale face was tinged with a faint blush, resembling a

delicate porcelain doll with a touch of color.

“Okay,” she replied.

They ate their breakfast in silence while the maid continued to serve

each dish.

By 8 A.M., Tyler offered to drive Olivia to school. This time, she

accepted his offer as it was more convenient than taking public

transportation, which might make her late for class.

With the driver at the wheel and Tyler engrossed in documents, Olivia

gazed out the window at the beautiful morning sunlight, painting the

world in golden hues.

Tyler, still focused on his documents, asked casually, “Is your finger

really alright?” Although hist eyes remained on the documents, he

listened closely for her response.

She turned her attention from the window and replied softly, “I'm really

fine.” Curiously, she added, “Does Naomi feel better today?"

“I'm going to the hospital after dropping you off at school,” he

answered.

Olivia sensed that their argument must have been resolved since he

was visiting Naomi. She whispered, “She'll feel much better as long as

you're not mad at her.”

Tyler didn't respond to that.

As they arrived at the school, Olivia reached for the door handle but

momentarily forgot about the cut. on her finger. She gasped in pain just

as she touched the handle.

Quickly, Tyler reached out and grabbed her hand.

Their eyes locked, and they both looked surprised, followed by an

awkward yet romantic silence. Olivia, in particular, hadn't expected him

to hold her hand, and he hadn't anticipated doing so either.

For a few moments, they just stared into each other's eyes. Olivia

didn't dare to pull her hand away

and kept her gaze down in silence.

After a while, Tyler didn't release her hand immediately. Instead, he

simply said, “Watch out.”
