Olivia felt a painful knot in her heart, but she suppressed it, maintaining at
somber expression. “Hmm, okay. I understand.”
Tyler understood her thoughts and reassured her, “You don’t have to overthink it.
She replied softly, “Okay.”
He walked away, leaving her with her thoughts and the lingering pain in her
heart.
The birthday party Tyler threw for Naomi was a grand affair, attended by both
friends and relatives. Naomi, dressed and made up, stood by his side with a
cheerful expression. Together, they made a perfect couple.
Relatives chatted in the living room, surrounding Naomi. Olivia lingered nearby,
unsure if she should join in.
Someone noticed her and commented, “Olivia has grown so much. Oh my, she’s
so pretty.”
Darren and Mrs. Jones, wearing smiles, chimed in, “Yes, indeed. She has
blossomed into a young lady.”
In reality, they were not genuinely pleased to see her. She had stirred up
controversy among the relatives in the past, and they were often criticized
whenever her name came up.

Tyler refrained from intervening, considering it a family matter.
Olivia was perceptive. She greeted the relatives and then quietly retreated

quickly.
Nervousness spread among the relatives as they witnessed this.
Tyler held her arm, asking, “How do you feel?”
She suppressed her nausea and replied softly, “Just a reaction from the chemo.”
He said in concern, “Don’t drink wine.”
She agreed, feeling touched. “Mm-hmm, got it.”

Tyler had noticed all of this.
He told her she looked pretty, but she didn’t react. Both of them were resisting
each other, but they couldn't help but grow closer.
He gently held her wrist and told her, “You would look even more beautiful in that
red gown.”
Should he have said that? She wasn’t sure if she should interpret his words as
innocent.

whether he was pitying her or flirting
with her. Naturally, she wasn't the
