Chapter 209

Tyler helped Olivia get into the car. Once they were both inside, he glanced at her. “You know about Claude and Morgan, right?”

Olivia didn’t respond.

Tyler continued, “She died because of him.”

Hearing this, Olivia looked at him, shocked.

Tyler’s gaze was calm, but it seemed like he was trying to hold back strong feelings.

Olivia wanted to say something, but she couldn’t find the words.

“Do you really want to get involved with the guy my sister was with?” Tyler questioned.

After a pause, he added, “Look, I’m not going to tell you what to do with your life. But staying away from Claude would be wise.” His tone was emotionless.

Olivia couldn’t figure out the whole story, but she understood that Tyler really resented Claude. After a long silence, she finally said, “He’s just a friend.”

“I hope so.”

He then added, “You need some rest. I’m planning to take you to my family home in a few days.”

Olivia thought everything would be over once the child was born. By then, she’d pay her mother’s debt to the Joneses.

“Whatever. I’ll do as you say, Tyler,” she replied.

Tyler didn’t say much after that and stopped looking at her.

When they got back home, Olivia went straight upstairs.

Linda was there too. She walked to Tyler. “I think it has something to do with Jacob and Sophie.”

Naturally, Tyler had already figured out that much. He knew about them dating. Rumors about Jacob at the office had reached him, but he hadn’t expected Olivia to bump into them.

“Let her heal on her own,” he said. He was aware that Olivia hadn’t moved on from Jacob yet, so it made sense that she reacted this way.

But he believed it was time for her to let go of her first love.

That night, Sophie asked Claude if he had seen Olivia when she arrived home. Noticing Sophie’s nervousness, he asked, “What did you do?”

Sophie didn’t answer right away. After thinking it over, she admitted, “I’m dating Jacob. He’s Olivia’s BX”

“Think about what you’re doing. Do you really like him that much?” Claude questioned.

“I really like him,” Sophie insisted, Claude had met Jacob once, but he had a bad feeling about him. “I’ve heard his family background isn’t great.”

“That’s okay. I can help him,” Sophie quickly said.

Claude didn’t seem convinced, “Did you say you can help him?”

Sophie fell silent.
