Chapter 374
The Beginning Of All Sins
âAre you using the child to threaten me?â Tyler asked.
Olivia didnât care what he thought. She didnât refuse food to threaten anyone. She simply lacked the appetite. All she wanted was an answer, so she asked, âHave you considered my suggestion?â
âOur relationship will continue until the child is safely born,â he said.
Olivia didnât want to give up. âI donât believe our relationship serves anyone well. Iâm the one who cheated, and I donât want to cause problems for the family. Please reconsider,â she insisted.
âWe held a press conference to prevent further issues, but you still canât act as you please. Our relationship will endure until the child is born, for the sake of both your sister and us.â
Olivia had been keeping up with the news and knew about the press conference. She took a deep breath.
Tylerâs gaze turned icy. âInstead of trying to escape this, why not reveal to the media who the man in the picture is?â
Olivia crossed her arms.
Tylerâs expression remained dark even in the light as he scoffed, âWhy do you think Claude is suitable for you? Heâs an enemy of the family. What do you think he can offer?
âIâm compromising because of your sister. So, even if you canât endure this any longer, you have to hang in there until the child is born. You can date anyone after that, except Claude.â
Olivia didnât move and still looked apathetic.
Tyler then looked at the food on the table. âIf this isnât what you want, Iâll get the maid to bring something else.â
Though his tone was casual, it was clear he was trying to conceal his coldness.
Olivia felt suffocated. Her face paled under the light, and her body seemed on the verge of collapse.
Tyler observed her distressed expression and trembling shoulders, then glanced at the door. The maid who attended to Olivia had overheard and quietly retreated.
Tyler didnât stay to chat with Olivia and left for the study.
The next morning, Ana heard Olivia hadnât eaten anything the entire day.
Maisy was very worried and kept asking the maid, âHow could she not have any food? She didnât even eat when Tyler returned?â
The maid appeared troubled. âAfter Mr. Tyler returned, he asked me to take some warm food upstairs, but Ms. Olivia still refused to eat.â
ta Maisy looked anxiously at Ana. âAna, this is our family. How can you let a pregnant woman go hungry?
Do something about it.
Ana felt like a fool because she had been close to Olivia before the incident. She was upset and paid no attention to Olivia. All she managed to say was, âDonât worry about it. Someone else will be more concerned.â
Maisy didnât understand Anaâs response. Ana simply sat on the couch, smirking, as she played with her nails.
