Chapter 85

Olivia felt that this wasn’t the first time she had embarrassed herself, so she tried to appear calmer now. “I feel much better now. The first day was more painful, that’s all.”

Tyler, too, seemed calm. “That’s great then, let’s eat.”

He appeared indifferent, which made Olivia feel like she was being overly immature. She relaxed a bit and took her seat across from him.

At that moment, the maid served a bowl of soup that Olivia wasn’t familiar with. She explained, “This is a blood–replenishing soup that Mr. Tyler asked me to prepare.”

Olivia looked at the soup and lifted her head to express her gratitude, “Thanks, Tyler.”

Tyler didn’t make much of it as he set down the newspaper. “Don’t drink. anything cold for a few days so that you won’t get cramps again.”

This simple advice from him made Olivia feel unexpectedly warm. She held the warm bowl in her hands and decided to let go of the negative emotions from the previous day. She finished the soup, which tasted rather unappetizing.

After her meal, she heard the meowing of a cat from outside. When she went to . investigate, she found a kitten stumbling around in the garden. She picked it up.

The maid followed her and asked, “Why is there a kitten here?”

Olivia smiled as she replied, “I think it was just born. There’s still a dried umbilical cord on it.”

Just then, Tyler heard the cat’s meows as he came downstairs after changing. He saw Olivia squatting in the bushes, holding a fluffy little creature.

As he approached, Olivia looked up. “Look, Tyler. It’s a cat.” She extended her arms, showing him the soft little thing.

Tyler found the scene rather cute. He glanced at the kitten. “I think it’s less than a month old.”

The meowing sounded pitiful, and Olivia commented, “I guess it can’t find its mother.” Her heart went out to the kitten.

Tyler knew that girls like her couldn’t resist fluffy things. He instantly understood her intentions. “You want to keep it?”

Olivia hesitated for a moment. She was aware that there was no sign of pets in the house, and she wasn’t sure if Tyler had any interest in cats.

“Can I?” she eventually asked with hesitation.

Olivia couldn’t tell what he was thinking from his face. She noticed he didn’t seem to be interested in cats.

The maid had reservations upon hearing Olivia’s request. “W–Will it have parasites? They say it’s not advisable to keep cats in a household with pregnant. women. Even though we don’t have any here, could cat hair cause allergies?”

Olivia felt a pang when the maid mentioned “pregnant women.”

Her grip on the kitten loosened. Although she wasn’t pregnant, she was preparing for it, and this decision could potentially affect the child and Naomi…

The anticipation in her eyes vanished instantly.

Tyler fell silent instinctively. After a while, he said, “Let’s take it to a pet store nearby.”

Olivia shuddered as she held the kitten. She knew she couldn’t keep it, as it posed a threat to her health.

The maid nodded and reached for the kitten. “Please give it to me, Ms. Olivia.”

Olivia closed her eyes and stopped looking at the kitten. She gently placed it in the maid’s hands. The kitten began to meow even louder, struggling in the process.

She kept her eyes shut.
