Chapter 81

Olivia walked with Jacob, and they didn’t notice anyone at the door.

After a short. walk, she stopped and turned to him. “Here will do,” she

said.

Jacob stopped as well.

They both felt surprised at how short the walk had been, lasting just

over ten minutes. They stood together, gazing at each other under the

shelter of the umbrella.

Neither of them could decipher the thoughts racing through the other's

mind at that moment. The air was still, with nothing but the sound of the

wind and rain enveloping them.

Finally, Olivia broke the silence. “You can go now.” She only realized

that she was choking when she spoke.

Jacob stood still, the rain falling around them. They looked like a couple

on a quiet, rainy night, as if they were about to elope.

“Are you sure?” Jacob asked.

“Yes.”

They fell silent again, their shadows blending together on the wet

ground, as if they couldn't bear to part ways.

Meanwhile, Tyler observed the scene quietly from his car.

The driver sensed the coldness in his silence. He inquired, “Mr. Tyler,

should we let her know we're here?"

Tyler continued to watch them in the rain, his voice chilly as he

responded, “No. need.”

Unaware of Tyler's presence, Olivia didn’t notice his car at the

entrance.

Normally, she would have spotted it right away, but Jacob's sudden

appearance had caught her off guard.

Suddenly, a car horn sounded amidst the rain, prompting both Olivia

and Jacob to turn their heads.

Panic filled Olivia when she saw Tyler's car. “w why is he here?" she

wondered in a state of confusion. She instinctively looked at Jacob with

anxiety in her eyes.

The driver, holding a black umbrella, stepped out of the car and stood

by the door, addressing Olivia, “The rain is going to get heavier, Ms.

Olivia. Please get in the car soon.”

Olivia's heart raced as she realized that Tyler usually picked her up on

rainy days.

Then, the passenger side door of Tyler's car swung open, revealing

Tyler dressed in black. The driver held the umbrella over him.

Tyler stood in the rain and said, “It's late, Olivia.

Jacob, who had been standing beside Olivia, also looked at Tyler. His

gaze narrowed, reflecting a trace of coldness. The rain continued to

pour around them, creating a barrier between the three of them.

Jacob showed respect by addressing Tyler, “Mr. Tyler.”

Tyler responded with a curt acknowledgment before turning his

attention to Olivia. "Get in.” He then took the umbrella from the driver

and walked to her. Let's go.”

Olivia looked up, realizing that the umbrella was now shielding her from

the rain. “T-Thanks, Tyler."

Tyler said nothing as he led her away.

Once they were inside the car, the driver took the umbrella from Tyler

and stowed it away. Tyler then said to Olivia, “You should call me when

it rains so that I can pick you up.”
