Chapter 78
Tyler looked at the time before finally letting her go. âIt's time to eat.â
Olivia was still hesitating. âYou go first.â
He knew that she was shy. âOkay, I'll go ahead.â
As he started to button up his shirt, Olivia watched him closely, her
gaze fixed on his shirt until he reached the second button near his
collar.
He removed his hand from her waist and stood up. To his surprise, she
reached out and grabbed the corner of his shirt, looking a bit flustered.
âAâAre we going to clean the bed?â she asked, her concern focused on
the mess on the bed due to her morning bleeding.

Worried that she might try to clean it on her own later, Tyler gently
reassured her, âWe have maids for that. You canât be late, let's go
downstairs.â
Olivia released his shirt, and he affectionately ran his fingers through
her hair before leaving. âDon't
overthink it.â
He headed downstairs first, and Maisy was already at the dining table,
enjoying her meal. She greeted him with a smile, âDid you sleep
well?"
Ana was busy preparing some soup and chimed in, âOf course he did.
We've been waiting for the two of you. We never expected we'd wait
until 10.â
She placed a bowl of soup in front of him, but Tyler was more
interested in the newspapers on the
table. âI overslept,â he replied simply.
Ana knew she had won. Tyler could no longer deny his relationship
with Olivia now. She smiled warmly and said, âWe really like Olivia.
Your grandma too. Bring her here more often.â
He didnât even look up when he said, âLet's see.â
Meanwhile, Olivia made her way downstairs, feeling slightly out of
place in this grand setting. She thought everything at Sandalwood
Palace to be breathtaking, but the numerous maids and luxurious decor
in the Harris home made the place feel like a castle.
Seeing Olivia arrive, Tyler set aside the newspaper and encouraged
her, âMake yourself at home, there's no need to be formal.â
Despite her nervousness, Olivia greeted them politely, âHello,
Grandma, Ms. Ana.â
âJust call me Ana,â Ana insisted, showing her affection.
Tyler remained silent about his motherâs behavior, neither opposing
nor encouraging it.
Olivia stood there, accepting their warmth, while her thoughts drifted to
her period. She walked over and took a seat next to Tyler.

Maisy observed Olivia closely and found her to be quite docile. The
more she looked at her, the more
she liked her.
Before Olivia could begin eating, Ana suddenly took her hand and
placed a gold bracelet with
diamonds on her wrist.
The unexpected gesture startled Olivia, and she looked at her wrist to
find the beautiful bracelet.
Maisy said cheerfully, âThis is the bracelet for my granddaughterâinâ
law. I'm giving it to you, wear
it.â
Olivia immediately understood the significance of the gift, but she
hesitated. How could she accept something that rightfully belonged to
Naomi?
Quickly, she turned her gaze to Tyler, seeking his guidance.
Ana went on, âOlivia, you must accept what Grandma has given you,â
then she looked at Tyler for his agreement. âIsn't that right, Tyler?â
