Chapter 209
Tyler helped Olivia get into the car. Once they were both inside, he
glanced at her. âYou know about Claude and Morgan, right?â
Olivia didnât respond.
Tyler continued, âShe died because of him.â
Hearing this, Olivia looked at him, shocked.
Tyler's gaze was calm, but it seemed like he was trying to hold back
strong feelings.
Olivia wanted to say something, but she couldn't find the words.
âDo you really want to get involved with the guy my sister was with?"
Tyler questioned.
After a pause, he added, âLook, I'm not going to tell you what to do with
your life. But staying away from Claude would be wise.â His tone was
emotionless.
Olivia couldn't figure out the whole story, but she understood that Tyler
really resented Claude. After a long silence, she finally said, âHe's just a
friend.â
âI hope so.â
He then added, âYou need some rest. I'm planning to take you to my
family home in a few days.â
Olivia thought everything would be over once the child was born. By
then, she'd pay her motherâs
debt to the Joneses.
âWhatever. I'll do as you say, Tyler,â she replied.
Tyler didn't say much after that and stopped looking at her.
When they got back home, Olivia went straight upstairs.
Linda was there too. She walked to Tyler. âI think it has something to
do with Jacob and Sophie.â
Naturally, Tyler had already figured out that much. He knew about them
dating. Rumors about Jacob at the office had reached him, but he
hadn't expected Olivia to bump into them.
âLet her heal on her own,â he said. He was aware that Olivia hadn't
moved on from Jacob yet, so it
made sense that she reacted this way.
But he believed it was time for her to let go of her first love.
That night, Sophie asked Claude if he had seen Olivia when she
arrived home. Noticing Sophie's nervousness, he asked, âWhat did you
do?â

Sophie didnât answer right away. After thinking it over, she admitted,
âI'm dating Jacob. He's Olivia's BX"
âThink about what you're doing. Do you really like him that much?â
Claude questioned.
âI really like him,â Sophie insisted,
Claude had met Jacob once, but he had a bad feeling about him. âI've
heard his family background isnât great.â
âThat's okay. I can help him,â Sophie quickly said.
Claude didn't seem convinced, âDid you say you can help him?â
Sophie fell silent.
