Olivia was drenched in cold sweat.

The next day, she went to school. When she was rushing to the doorafter putting everything away after class, she heard a voice behind her.“Olivial”

Her body stiffened when she heard the volce.

In the next second, Jacob pushed people aside and grabbed her. “Whyare you avoiding me, Olivia? Explain yourself! We were doing well, whydid you break up with me?!” He was very emotional, and it

drew a lot of attention.

She felt terrified. She stared at him but couldn't replace the words tospeak.

He was blindsided by the breakup without a reason. He had beenlooking for her for a long time. They were a happy couple, planning toget married after graduation. How did everything change so suddenly?“Did something happen, Olivia? Can you tell me?”

She couldn't utter a word in the face of his anxious questions. Feelingagitated, she attempted to push him away.

When she turned around, he suddenly screamed, “Olivia!”

A car slammed on the brakes right in front of her, barely a meter away.Her eyes widened.

It was Tyler.

His body lurched forward as the driver hit the brakes hard. When thecar finally stopped, the driver was shocked by the sudden stop. Heturned his head to check on Tyler. Tyler said he was fine, but his gazewas fixed on the person in front of the car.

“Olivia?” He frowned as he stared at her, a long and tense momentpassing.

However, a

a nervous boy came into his field of vision. “Are you alright, Olivia?"She still hadn't fully registered what happened. She was still staring atTyler, who was inside the car.

Time passed, and more people gathered to watch. Tyler opened the cardoor and stepped out.

He immediately attracted a lot of attention. Maybe he was socharismatic that no one could ignore

him.

Jacob didn’t recognize the person getting out of the car. Just as he waschecking whether Olivia was hurt, Tyler walked up to her and asked,“We didn't hit you, right?"

She stared at him in shock. She hadn't expected him to get out of thecar. “T-Tyler.”

Jacob was confused by her calling Tyler. He looked at him.

Tyler extended his hand. “Hi, Tyler Harris.”

Jacob had heard that name before. He was Naomi's flance, Olivia'sfuture brother-in-law.

He responded quickly. “Hi, Mr. Tyler.”

Tyler's expression turned cold upon hearing Jacob's address. He couldsense the tension between them. He then turned to Olivia. "Where areyou going? Do you need a ride?”

He was asking for her decision. If she said she didn’t need him, hewould leave right away.

Olivia was trembling, her only thought was to get away. She wanted toleave immediately. She answered hurriedly without thinking, “S—Sure...”

She didn’t even tell where she was going, just eager to avoid Jacob'shand as she got into the car.

Jacob reacted and attempted to grab her again. “Can we talk, Olivia?Please?”

The moment he reached out his arm, Tyler's hand blocked him. “Youguys should talk when you've both calmed down. This isn't the besttime.”

Jacob looked up at the person blocking him. “Mr. Tyler, I really need totalk to her.”

Tyler coldly said, “You can talk to her tomorrow.” Without waiting forJacob's reply, he turned to Olivia. “Let's go. Get in the car.”

Jacob tried to grab her again, but Tyler's driver stopped him.

Blocked and frustrated, Jacob yelled, “Olivia!”

Olivia stopped instantly. Tyler watched as she paused outside the car.She hesitated for a few seconds after Jacob called out to her, buteventually, she got into the car.

She took a seat next to him, and after the driver got in, Tyler lookeddown and said to the driver,” Let's go.”

The car pulled away from Olivia's school entrance, and at that moment,Jacob's face happened to pass by the window where Olivia was sitting.She suddenly felt like someone had punched her heart. It hurt so muchthat she couldn't breathe, but she didn’t show it. She just sat therestiffly.

Although Tyler didn't look directly at her, he could see the pain in hereyes through the rearview mirror. It was hard to hide such agony.

Tyler lost interest and looked away from the mirror. Finally, he spoke,“Your boyfriend?” Naturally, he knew that she had a boyfriend inschool.

Olivia felt a whirlwind in her head and choked out, “H-He's no longermy boyfriend.” She said it with difficulty.

“Did you have a fight?" he asked again.

She answered honestly, “We broke up.”

After hearing that, Tyler fell into a moment of silence. He didn't sayanything or ask why they broke up. He remained aloof, like the snow onthe roof. It was impossible to see what was beneath..

Olivia didn’t cry. She was dressed like a typical university student indenim pants, white shoes, and a white short-sleeve top. She wassupposed to be happy, but there was no light in her eyes. She didn'tsmile, like a sunflower without the sun. She looked downcast.

Tyler had never comforted a girl going through a breakup. Finally, hesaid to the driver after a long silence, “Do you have any candy?”

The driver couldn't recall if they had candies but suddenly rememberedthat Tyler's friend had a party for his child and received candies. Hequickly responded, “We do, Mr. Tyler.”

He retrieved beautifully packaged candies from the storagecompartment and carefully handed them

to Tyler.

Tyler stared at them for a few seconds before passing them to her.“Breakups are normal, especially in young love. Have some candies.”Olivia lowered her head, releasing the tension in her chest. She wasstunned.

“Your sister loves eating candies when she’s in a bad mood.”

Tyler had always been distant with her, but it was a rare moment ofgentleness and patience. However, she knew it was only because hewas talking about her sister.

She stared at the candies and sat quietly.

“I've heard Naomi talk about you. She said you love candies t00."

In the end, Olivia remained silent, turning her face away and refusingto look at him.
