Chapter 33

Tyler remained still, allowing Olivia to kiss him.

When she wasn't sure what to do next, he softly asked while looking ather, “Are you seducing me?"

The air felt thin as they stood so close, and Olivia was breathingheavily, her lips trembling

“No, I just wanted to express my gratitude,” she replied.

His gaze was cold. “Do you think I wouldn't help Jacob?”

Olivia felt like the breath was being squeezed out of her. She hadnever considered that before, and it made her uneasy. She just wantedto ensure Jacob's bail

Tyler asked again, “What would Jacob think if he saw this?"

His words shattered the facade of calmness Olivia had tried tomaintain. Her face turned pale.

He continued, “Are you trying to seduce me when you have noexperience in such matters?”

Olivia opened her eyes and stepped back, panting heavily, feelingexposed. “I'm sorry, I thought it might help. I just want to do somethingfor you and Naomi. It would be wonderful if I could get pregnant soon.”Tyler's tone was stern. “A girl should never compromise her dignity andjudgment for a boy. Hasn't your father ever told you that?"

Olivia felt like she had lost her last bit of dignity. She was heartbroken.No one had ever given her such guidance. All she had known sincechildhood was her father’s presence, which was both close anddistant.

When had he ever advised her on how to behave with a boy?

Tyler's shadow loomed over her face, and she looked down as shestood before him.

He whispered in her ear, “Listen to me. Jacob will be releasedtomorrow. I've done everything I can. It depends on whether he wantsto leave, understand?”

Olivia looked up, her eyes glistening with tears.

But Tyler stopped looking at her and left abruptly. She was in a daze,not expecting him to leave. She reached out and grabbed his sleeve.He stopped and glanced at her.

She whispered, “Thank you, Tyler.”

His expression remained indifferent as he replied flatly, “Mm—hmm.”She let go of his sleeve.

Suddenly, he said, “I don't need you to do anything for me. Take thecard.”

Olivia was confused, not knowing what card he meant. He handed herthe card she had given him

He whispered, “I don't mean anything else. I just don’t want you to haveto beg people.” There was a subtle tone of concem and care in hisvoice.

She looked into his eyes.
