Chapter 65
The maid offered Olivia some comfort, saying, âAlright, go upstairs and
rest. This has nothing to do with you.â
She then headed to the kitchen and had a thought, which she shared
with Olivia, * Please make coffee for Mr. Tyler and bring it to the study.â
Following the instructions, Olivia went to the bar to make coffee and
then proceeded to the study. Tyler was inside, engrossed in his work,
but he noticed her presence.
In the dimly lit room, they exchanged glances.
After standing there for a while, Olivia finally gathered the courage to
walk in. She positioned herself next to Tyler's desk and softly said,
âYour coffee, Tyler.â
Their fingers brushed against each other when he reached out to take
the coffee. Olivia quickly withdrew her hand.
He asked, âYou didn't go to school today?"
She nodded. âIl was a little... tired, so I decided to skip.â
âI'm sorry.â
However, Olivia remained silent in response. Sensing her hesitation,
Tyler reached out and gently pulled her closer, enfolding her in his
embrace.
Though her body remained still, she cautiously rested her head against
his chest. âDoes it still hurt?â Tyler asked, his voice soft and kind. His
expression was gentle.
Surprisingly, Olivia realized that she wanted to stay in his embrace for
longer. She whispered, âI'm okay.â
He placed his hand on her head, causing her to shudder slightly.
Sensing her awkwardness, Tyler couldn't help but feel sympathy for
her. He reassured her, âDonât worry, I won't touch you today.â
He continued to caress her head, while she continued to lean into his
embrace. Silence enveloped the study, and a lingering sense of
tenderness hung in the air.
âI know,â she finally replied.
She couldn't understand why she couldn't resist this intimacy with him.
They both knew they shouldn't engage in such closeness outside the
bedroom. While it was understandable when they hugged in bed, what
was the reason behind it
now?
They were like a ship adrift, losing its direction.
Tyler took a deep breath and held her even closer. His eyes brimmed
with gentleness.
Their embrace intensified, neither able to resist. Olivia's face paled as
she struggled with her emotions. Unable to resist any longer, she
grasped his neck, melting into his embrace. They held each other
tighter, drawing closer.
Whispering softly into her ear, Tyler murmured, âOlivia... Olivia...â
In the next moment, his breath tickled her ear as he continued to call
her name.
Both of them were breathing heavily, and a complex mix of emotions
swirled across Tyler's face.
The following day, Olivia returned to school. As she left the subway
station, a black car pulled up next to her. A man emerged from the
vehicle and stood in her path. He appeared to be a chauffeur.
âMs. Olivia, you are wanted,â the chauffeur informed her.
A familiar face appeared inside the car. It was Ana, the woman Olivia
had encountered at Sandalwood Palace yesterday.
