Chapter 115
âI'll need to discuss this with your sister first,â Tyler replied flatly.
Olivia expected his response. Leaving Sandalwood Palace wasn't
going to be simple, especially with Anaâs influence. âI... I understand.â
Suddenly, Tyler stood up and approached her.
Olivia's gaze dropped, fixating on the cuff of his gray business suit. As
he drew nearer, her anxiety heightened. She instinctively took a step
back and lowered her head.
Their proximity was uncomfortably close, with only half an arm's length
between them. Their shadows, however, seemed to melt into each
other.
âYou should get some rest,â he eventually advised.
âOkay.â
That night, they slept in separate rooms.
The next morning, Mrs. Jones wasted no time in presenting her
proposal to Naomi. âWe should suggest that Olivia move out of
Sandalwood Palace.â
âWhy? I thought you were the one who wanted her there,â Naomi
countered.
Mrs. Jones had been contemplating how to broach the subject with
Naomi, but she still hadn't found the right approach. âI just thought...
Maybe we should explore other options, like IVF. Despite living together
for a while, she hasn't become pregnant, right?â
âDid something happen yesterday, Mom?â
Mrs. Jones decided to be frank. âLook, I know Tyler has been with you
for a few years, but he's a man. with typical needs. The fact that you
canât spend the night with him creates a situation we'd rather
avoid.â
Naomi gripped the edge of her blanket tightly.
âGive it some thought, alright?â Mrs. Jones continued.
âI will. I'll talk to Tyler about it,â Naomi responded after a moment.
Having eaten only a fraction of her breakfast, Olivia stood up abruptly.
âI should head to school now, Tyler. Bye.â
The table had barely been set. One of the maids, still holding fresh
breakfast, was puzzled. âIt's not 8 o'clock yet, Miss Olivia. Are you
sure?â

Grabbing her bag, Olivia insisted, âEr, my class starts early today!"
She rushed out of the house, leaving the maid baffled by her sudden
departure. âGoodness, what's gotten into her? Leaving so early today.â
Tyler wasn't surprised at all. âJust let her be.â
Unlike Olivia, Tyler left for the hospital later in the day. When he arrived,
Naomi wasted no time echoing her mother's suggestion. âl was
thinking... should we consider IVF? If we do, Olivia could move out of
Sandalwood Palace.â
Naomi's complexion had grown increasingly pale. She appeared more
fragile with each passing day.
