Chapter 230

Tyler had just brought Olivia into the hotel lobby when a distant relative approached. He let go of Olivia’s hand to greet him.

The man said, “We’ve been waiting, Tyler. Glad you both could make it.”

This man was from Maisy’s side of the family, specifically her great–nephew. Their families didn’t see each other much, usually only at big family events.

This time, they were here for the great–nephew’s baby’s three–month celebration. Maisy always put her family first, so she asked Tyler to come along to show their support.

As the man approached, Tyler said, “Hi, Caleb.”

Caleb Rees looked happy to meet them and was surprised to see Olivia. “Is this your wife?”

Olivia, feeling a bit out of place among Tyler’s family, quietly said hello from behind him.

“This is Olivia,” Tyler introduced her smoothly, making it feel natural.

Caleb, smiling, mentioned, “I heard you’re going to be a father soon. Congratulations.”

Tyler smiled warmly. “Thanks, but today is about celebrating your new arrival.”

The quiet moment between Tyler and Olivia made them look like a sweet couple.

Caleb joked, “Well, I guess I beat you to being a father.”

Their conversation flowed easily, and Tyler was unusually smiling the whole time.

After talking for a bit, Caleb said, “I’ve checked you in, Tyler. Let me know if the room is alright for you and Olivia.”

Tyler nodded. “Okay, it’s all good. Go ahead with your preparations.”

Once Caleb left, Tyler turned to Olivia. “Let’s go.”

Olivia wasn’t used to mingling with Tyler’s family yet, so she was glad he didn’t push her to talk more.

Once they were alone in their room, Olivia worriedly asked Tyler, “Is it bad that I’m not good at socializing?”

Tyler was puzzled by her sudden concern.

“I might not… fit in,” she added, feeling insecure.

Tyler realized her worries and reassured her, “You didn’t finish school, and you’re not working yet, so it’s normal to feel unsure in social situations. Don’t worry, I’m not expecting you to be a social butterfly.”

After a brief pause, Olivia replied, “Okay.” She often felt like she wasn’t contributing much as his wife, worried she was being a burden to him.

Tyler stared at her for a long time. “Go rest for now.”

She nodded: “Okay, Tyler ”

Tyler had work to do, so he went to the study, while Olivia stayed in the room, unpacking.

Linda soon went into the study.

Later, Olivia turned on the TV to pass the time, but she wasn’t really paying attention. She wasn’t even sure what she was watching.
