Chapter 159

The elders showered Olivia with gifts, leaving her feeling overwhelmed.

She glanced at Tyler, who simply instructed her to accept them.

As the dinner dragged on for three hours, Olivia grew increasingly

exhausted, Tyler, having drunk wine, appeared weary as well.

Returning to their room, Olivia noticed Tyler's red eyes. “Are you

alright? If you're hungry, I can ask the maid to bring something up,” she

offered.

Tyler, appearing somewhat intoxicated, replied with a curt “Yes,” before

unbuttoning his shirt and collapsing onto the couch. He rested his

forehead on his hand, looking pale and drained under the harsh light.

Concerned, Olivia watched him silently.

The room was quiet, and after standing there for some time, Olivia

began to feel the onset of fatigue, and her skin became sticky. This

unfamiliar room made her feel uneasy. She turned to Tyler and asked,

"Can I take a shower?"

Tyler, still resting his head in his hand, mumbled a nonchalant “Yes,”

without opening his eyes.

After a quick shower, Olivia emerged to find food on the table and Tyler

still in the same position. She asked softly, “Did you ask the maid to

bring food?”

Tyler finally opened his bloodshot eyes, causing Olivia to gasp in

shock. “Are you sure you're alright, Tyler?”

Unaffected by her concern, Tyler casually glanced at her. “Can you get

me a glass of water?”

Recalling how Tyler had been the only one drinking during the

gathering, Olivia hurried to fetch water. Unsure of his preference, she

returned with a glass and placed it beside him.

“It's warm.”

Tyler took the glass and downed it, his Adam's apple bobbing visibly.

The ring on his finger caught the light, making him appear more like a

married man. His expression seemed to grow colder with the presence

of the ring.

“Feeling better?”

Tyler handed the empty glass to her. “Yes.”

“You want more?”

“Hot.”

Confused by his response, Olivia fetched another glass. But as she

handed it to him, Tyler's gaze seemed to pierce through her, sending a

chill down her spine.

“Your phone is ringing,” he suddenly said.
