Chapter 54

Olivia felt even more exhausted than the previous day when shereturned to Sandalwood Palace, She walked to the door in a moodystate, not even bothering to look up.

The maid greeted her, saying, “Ms. Olivia.”

Without lifting her gaze, Olivia responded listlessly.

The maid, sensing Olivia’s mood, refrained from aslding any questionsthis time. Instead, she said, ” Rest on the couch, and I'll pour you aglass of juice.”

Olivia replied absentmindedly, and the maid went to the kitchen to fetchthe juice. However, when she returned with the glass, sh

noticed that Olivia had gone to her room.

Tyler arrived home earlier than usual, around 5 P.M. He was already inthe living room when the maid approached him, saying, “Ms. Olivia ishome, but she went straight to her room.”

Holding a box of cakes, Tyler nodded in acknowledgment.

The maid noticed there was tiramisu in the box and commented, “Youmust have brought these from your family home.”

Tyler replied, “Grandma asked me to bring them home. Put them on aplate.”

As the maid served the cakes, she couldn't help but think about Tyler'sgrandmother's favorite cake. The cake was expensive, and of course,there was a lot of it at his family home.

She also wondered why Tyler was being kind to Olivia. Why bring thecakes home and ask her to serve them now? He rarely indulged indessert, but thinking it through, it made sense since Olivia was @Naomi's sister.

Once the maid left, Tyler removed his tie and headed upstairs. After acouple of steps, he paused and turned to the maid, asking, “Olivia’shome?”

The maid stopped as well and answered, “She doesn't look well.”Tyler had also noticed something was off about Olivia in the past fewdays. “Okay, got it,” he said before continuing to his room.

He came downstairs after changing and was on a phone call,presumably work-related. He spoke for a while by the floor-to—ceilingwindow, gazing outside, before ending the call.

When he returned to the living room, he glanced around and then satdown on the couch.

Just then, Olivia appeared, heading toward the kitchen to help. Shehoped to keep busy and distract herself. However, she froze when shesaw Tyler, who was reading a newspaper.

She hadn't expected him to come home early today. She hesitated fora moment before saying, “Tyler.

He put down the newspaper upon hearing his name and said, “Comehere.”

Olivia stopped in her tracks, momentarily uncertain. She eventuallywalked over to him and stood.

nearby.

Tyler, sensing the seriousness of the situation, asked her, “Whathappened? Tell me.

But Olivia remained silent.

Tyler, growing visibly upset, continued, “You don't want to tell me?"She shook her head in silence.

Frustrated, Tyler took out his phone and said, “Then I'll call

your friend.”

Panicking, Olivia rushed over and grabbed his hand. She looked utterlyexhausted as she pleaded, It's really nothing, Tyler."

Despite her plea, Tyler's face remained cold. “You're still not tellingme?”

Understanding that she couldn't hide it any longer, Olivia decided it wasbetter to tell him herself, rather than having him ask Sophie.
