Chapter 49

They were lying in bed together late at night, with Tyler's arms wrappedaround Olivia.

After they had their intimate moment, Olivia couldn't bear to meetTyler's gaze. She knew he was looking at her, and tears welled up inher eyes..

Tyler finally released his hold on her, leaving a gap between them.Olivia Immediately wrapped herself in the blanket, attempting to createa physical barrier between them.

However, Tyler scooped her up into his arms a moment later, and shereluctantly opened her eyes.

He said, “Let's take a shower.”

Following their shower, they dressed and returned to their normalselves.

Olivia stood by the side of the bed and said, “I'm going back to myroom.”

Tyler remained seated on the bed, smoking, and simply responded witha curt nod. Smoke clouded his enigmatic expression.

Olivia lingered in his room for a moment, contemplating, before quietlyretreating to her own room.

Tyler continued smoking in his room. It was 1 A.M. when Olivia finallyreturned to her own room.

The next morning, both of them woke up early and coincidentally lefttheir rooms at the same time, running into each other in the hallway.Olivia halted upon seeing Tyler and called out to him, “Tyler.”

He looked at her and nodded in acknowledgment.

Their exchange was brief, but Olivia initiated further conversation,saying, “I'm going to help in the kitchen.”

Tyler responded, “Didn't you hurt your finger? You should pack yourthings and get ready for school.”

He had already dressed in slacks and a shirt, while Olivia was still inher pajamas. She nodded obediently in response.

He then went downstairs.

It was almost time for school, so Olivia returned to her room to freshenup and change.

As Tyler read the newspaper in his usual manner, the maid, whileserving his breakfast, inquired, “Is Ms. Olivia not coming down?”Tyler also found it odd. He glanced towards the room upstairs andreplied, “Maybe she’s still getting ready.”

The maid went back to the kitchen after that.

Tyler continued reading for a few more minutes until he heard thesound of the door opening

upstairs. Olivia appeared to be searching for something downstairs butcouldn't replace it. After a brief attempt, she closed her door.

He sensed something was off, so he set aside the newspaper andheaded upstairs. He knocked on Olivia's door, and after a long pause,she finally opened it.

Olivia looked at him, visibly distressed.

Concerned, he asked, “What's wrong?"

Olivia struggled to put her feelings into words, her voice quivering asshe couldn't bring herself to explain what had happened.

Tyler immediately noticed that Olivia was struggling with the dress shewas wearing.

He observed her for a moment before she finally spoke up, somewhatembarrassed, “The zipper is caught in my hair.”

Despite the minor issue, it was urgent for her, and she had beensweating after struggling with it for a while. She contemplated cuttingher hair but couldn't replace any scissors as she wasn't familiar with theplace. She was frantically searching for a solution.

Tyler, appearing unfazed, responded, “Turn around, let me take alook.”

Olivia hesitated briefly, staring at him before eventually complying. Shehad only managed to pull the zipper halfway up, leaving half of herback exposed. There were handprints on her dress and a faint, pinkmark on her ear.

Tyler glanced at her ear but focused on gently moving her hair aside.After replaceing out the source of the problem, he slowly zipped up thedress.

In this moment, he was standing over her, while she remained beneathhim, the room filled with

silence.

Once he finished, he stated matter—of—factly, “You're good to go.Olivia wrapped her arms around herself and stayed in the sameposition. She thanked him softly,” Thank you.”

“Don’t worry about it.” Tyler removed his hands from her back beforeleaving the room.

Meanwhile, the maid had noticed their absence from the dining tableand decided to investigate. She came upstairs and caught a glimpse ofthe situation, remarking, “Breakfast is ready, sir.”

Tyler headed downstairs, and the maid stared at them as they ate.Since it was getting late, Tyler offered to drop Olivia off at schoolagain. He asked, maintaining his courteous demeanor, “Shall I pickyou up in the evening?”

“I can go home on my own, Tyler.”

He nodded and said, “Alright, call me if you need anything.”

She nodded and got out of the car.

Tyler, dressed in a suit, and Olivia, in white sneakers and a simpledress, presented a somewhat contrasting image. It was as if a seniorwas dropping off a junior at school-they seemed to come from differentworlds.

Tyler's car garnered a bit of attention at the school, prompting Olivia toconsider coming to school on her own the next day.

Once he left, Olivia went to her class. However, as soon as sheentered, her phone rang. It was a call

from Naomi.

She bit her lip, recognizing the caller. She wasn't sure how to faceNaomi at this moment but eventually answered, “Hello, Naomi. I'm inclass. What's up?”

Naomi's voice was tinged with sadness as she asked, “Has Tyler beenbusy, Olivia? It's been two days

since he last visited me.”

Olivia felt her heart race when she heard Naomi's words.
