Chapter 214

Ana spoke with a gentle smile. “You’re going to have a baby, so you should just stay here and rest.”

The morning sun was shining as Ana was arranging flowers on the table.

Olivia, even though she was pregnant, didn’t let it get to her head. She always remembered she was staying in someone else’s home, which made her feel uncomfortable.

She approached Ana, offering her help. “Let me help you.”

Ana was known to be quite reserved and not easily approachable, but she had shown kindness to Olivia. Understanding Olivia’s discomfort, she let her help out.

“If you behave, everything will be fine. Once you have the baby, you’ll be the lady of the Harris family.

You’ll have everything you desire, and no one will be able to say anything to you. Understand? Your only job is to ensure the baby is born healthy,” Ana explained.

Olivia felt caught in a difficult situation. She wasn’t sure about the future, but she knew her role was to ensure the baby’s safe arrival. She didn’t seem to have to care about anything else.

“Okay, Mom.”

“We’ll eat with Tyler when he comes down,” Ana suggested.

“Sure,” Olivia replied.

Just like that, Olivia spent the morning helping Ana. She didn’t know much about arranging flowers, but Ana didn’t fault her for the mistakes. Instead, she patiently taught her, step by step.

This scene of Ana teaching Olivia was what Tyler saw as he came downstairs. The table was adorned with flowers, enhancing Olivia’s beauty as she worked among them.

She seemed to be getting better.

The maid informed Tyler, “Breakfast is ready, sir,” as he watched them from the staircase.

Only then did Olivia and Ana realize that he was there. Ana, holding a rose, smiled at him. “Why are you just standing there quietly, Tyler?”

Olivia, now aware of Tyler, looked at him too. She stopped what she was doing, a bit startled by his gaze, and quietly put down the scissors.

Tyler looked away and approached them. “What are you two doing?”

“I’m not being harsh on her. I’m doing this for her own good. If my daughter–in–law is going to socialize with the wealthy wives, she needs to know how to hold her own,” Ana explained.

Olivia remained silent, not commenting on Ana’s words.

“Have you eaten?” he asked Olivia.

3.pte. 414 “Not yet,” she responded..

“Let’s eat then.” He invited her to join him for breakfast.

Ana, still smiling, let her go. “Go on. I don’t want him to think I’m bullying you.”

Olivia was surprised to hear Ana joking around. She followed Tyler without hesitation, not making any comment on Ana’s playful tease.

As they sat down to eat in the dining hall, Olivia found that her appetite had returned somewhat. Her morning sickness wasn’t bothering ber, allowing her to eat a bit more than usual.

She slowly ate her whole wheat toast, sitting across from Tyler. He served her some bacon and beef.

“If you don’t feel like eating them, just leave them,” he said.

Olivia tried some of the bacon and found it agreeable; she didn’t feel nauseous.

Tyler resumed eating with his usual elegance, resulting in a rather quiet breakfast table.

After some time, he suggested, “If you want to go out, make sure the maid accompanies you.”
