Chapter 19: Chapter 19

Chapter 19

The shop assistant escorted Olivia to the changing room, and Tyler

patiently waited in the store's waiting area,

Upon removing her clothes, the shop assistant was taken aback to see

Olivia wearing ill-fitting lingerie. She gently whispered to Olivia as she

helped her take off the lingerie, “You should choose wellfitting lingerie

with comfortable material. Is this one comfortable?”

Olivia was momentarily surprised. It was the first time she had

considered the comfort of lingerie. She replied, “Mm—hmm, this is

good.”

The shop assistant commented, “Your boyfriend has great taste. This

style complements your breasts perfectly. They're so perky. Youth is a

wonderful thing. The color makes you look bright and sexy. As a

woman, I'm even seduced just looking at you. Imagine what it does to

your boyfriend.”

She playfully winked at Olivia, who was not used to having someone

scrutinize her body in such a

manner.

Luckily, Olivia swiftly tried on the lingerie and put on her clothes before

walking back to Tyler. The new lingerie provided her with an improved

posture, and she no longer hunched her back.

Tyler glanced at her and remarked, “Not bad.”

Olivia's face flushed, finding it hard to believe that it was Tyler who had

accompanied her to buy lingerie.

After that, the shop assistant brought several more lingerie sets for

Olivia to try. Perhaps noticing Olivia's shyness and flushed cheeks, she

cleverly told Tyler, “You can feel how comfortable this material is. It's

breathable and light on the body.”

Olivia couldn't believe that the shop assistant was encouraging Tyler to

touch the lingerie. She reacted quickly, grasping his wrist. “No need,

that's too many for me.”

Unaware of the intimacy of her actions, she only realized afterward.

She was still holding his wrist, which felt as hot as a burning iron,

making her flustered.

Tyler stared at her hand gripping his wrist.

A man’s wrist was more robust and muscular compared to a boy's.

Olivia felt the urge to retract her hand from touching his masculine

wrist.

However, Tyler appeared unfazed, as if he didn't find her actions

unusual or inappropriate. He asked, “You sure you don’t want more?”

“No,” she replied straightforwardly this time.

Tyler went along with her. “Okay, let's take these.” He proceeded to

make the purchase.

After leaving the lingerie store, he took her shopping for clothes. Once

again, they returned to the car,

and he drove her to school.

She held onto several bags as he looked at her. “I won't walk you in,”

he stated.

She nodded and said, “Okay.”

“Let me know if you need anything,” he added.

Olivia contemplated for a while before speaking, “Tyler, we're doing all

of this for my sister's sake. You don't have to be so kind to me. Also, I...

want to do this.”

Tyler gazed at her rather pale face and responded evenly, “Olivia, your

sister would want me to treat you well too.”

After hearing his words, Olivia fell into silence.

They sat silently in the car for a long time. Tyler's phone rang, and it

was located in the storage compartment beneath the armrest.

He glanced down at the phone, noticing it was a call from Naomi.

Olivia also looked over when she heard the ringing, but she quickly

averted her gaze. She exited the car with her bags before Tyler

answered the call.

Tyler only picked up the call as he watched her leave the car.

Naomi asked, “What took you so long to pick up?”

“I was unavailable just now. Should I come over now?" he replied.

Only did Naomi relax, mumbling, “That's more like it.” She had been

patiently waiting for him at the hospital.

When he arrived at her bedside, he inquired. “How are you feeling

today?"

“I ate well and had a good rest,” she responded.

He placed the snacks he had bought for her on the table. “Don't eat so

much. Just taste them. They're bad for your health.”

Her expression dimmed upon hearing his comment. After a brief

moment, she perked up and took hold of his hand. “Tyler, were you with

Olivia last night?”

He raised his gaze to look at her.

She knew she was being irrational with her question, considering it was

she who had requested his involvement in Olivia's life. However, as

events unfolded, she felt like she was losing control and had lost sleep

over it the previous night.

Tyler knew what she was worried about. He responded, “Yes.”

She began to panic. “Then did you..."

Her words changed his gentle expression, and he sternly called out,

“Naomi!”

She felt even more aggrieved hearing the sharpness in his voice. She

couldn't help but entertain her own troubling thoughts, even though she

knew better than to hope he'd say otherwise. Her conflicting emotions

left her feeling distressed.

Naomi berated herself for her foolishness. How could they not have

become intimate? On one hand, she wished Tyler would deny it, but at

the same time, she secretly fretted over the possibility. She felt

conflicted.

His angry tone made her feel even worse, and she looked visibly

upset.

Realizing that he had let his pent-up emotions get the better of him,

Tyler looked at her pale face and recognized the error of his ways. He

composed himself and controlled his emotions. “Focus on your

recovery, Naomi. Don't think too much.”

Grateful for the olive branch he extended, she nodded and replied,

“Okay.”

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked at him with hope. “Tyler,

once I'm better, everything will

back to the way it was, won't it? You'll always love me, right?”
