Chapter 286

Tyler supported himself next to Olivia when she woke up. He leaned over a bit and gently asked, “Are you up?”

She was still in a daze. She grabbed the blanket and looked at him, still half–asleep,” You’re home?”

He looked down, with a gentle look in his eyes. “Min hmm, I’m home. Did you have a good sleep?”

Olivia felt really tired because of her pregnancy. She could sleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

She said, “I think I slept for about half an hour. It was nice.”

Then she noticed something. “You reck of alcohol,” She quickly covered her nose with the blanket and made a face. “You’ve been drinking.”

Tyler chuckled a bit when he saw her reaction. “Yes, I had a few drinks. I’m in a good mood.”

Olivia gave him a puzzled look.

He kept staring at her, smiling. “Did you behave today?”

At first, she wasn’t sure what he meant. Then he said, “I was asking our baby.”

Only then did she figure it out. She hadn’t been feeling sick much lately. She nodded. ” Mm–hmm…”

“Let me feel it,” Tyler said..

He was a bit tipsy, so he was extra gentle. He seemed very kind.

Olivia was really sensitive to smells now, so she didn’t like the strong smell of alcohol. She kept the blanket over her nose. After hesitating, she lifted her shirt a little.

Her belly wasn’t flat anymore. There was a small bump.

She noticed it when she saw the bump. She turned her head away, feeling shy.

“I think I’ve gained weight,” she whispered..

Tyler was gentle as he touched the bump. He placed his hand on it, feeling the baby.

Nobody knew how long this would last when Olivia said, “I might catch a cold, Tyler.” The blanket muffled her voice.

Tyler removed his hand but still looked at her belly. “It’s fine if you’ve gained weight. Your belly will get even bigger. The little thing is growing after all.”

In that moment, Olivia felt really calm. It was a warm and cozy feeling, like being in a warm bath.

He pulled the blanket to cover her belly. “Please look like mommy.”

Olivia couldn’t even guess what their baby might look like. But it didn’t matter. The most important thing was the baby’s health.

Tyler stayed by the bed for a bit longer. He thought he’d spare her from the alcohol smell. “Get some more sleep. I’m going to take a shower.”

Olivia, only her eyes peeking out from the blanket, nodded.

They were like an ordinary couple–a shy young wife and a mature, good–looking husband. They were a good match.

He watched her while smiling for a bit longer before going to the bathroom.

After he left, Olivia felt relieved. She loosened her grip on the blanket and breathed more easily.

She began imagining what the baby would look like, recalling what Tyler had said.

She was still in bed when he came back from the shower, no longer reeking of alcohol.
