Chapter 46
Olivia couldn’t help but wonder if she might be infertile. After all, despite trying for
a long time, she hadn’t been able to get pregnant.
In a choked voice, she said, “Il know you have no interest in me, but we will only
be free as soon 1 as I get pregnant. You and Naomi will be together forever by
then, and you’ll stop fighting.”
Her words seemed to add fuel to the fire. Tyler looked at her with a grim
expression as he heard her pitiful plea.
She didn’t know why she had said it, but she meant nothing more than her plea
for his understanding.
He remained silent and continued kissing her, though it was clear he was trying
to control and suppress his emotions.
The next morning, Olivia helped the maid cook again, but her mind was clearly
elsewhere. Her hands moved mechanically, and she didn’t seem to be fully
aware of her actions.
The maid noticed that she had placed tomato skins into a bowl, saying, “Ms.
Olivia, you might cut your hand!”
Suddenly, Olivia’s hand slipped, and she saw blood welling up from a cut on her
fingertip. The pain startled her, causing her to drop the tomato and knife into the
sink with a loud clatter. She quickly brought her bleeding finger to her lips.
Tyler, who had been sitting at the dining table reading the newspaper, heard the
commotion. He immediately set the newspaper aside and rushed into the
kitchen.
The maid was clearly concerned about Olivia’s bleeding finger as she checked
the injury. “Oh no, it’s bleeding!”
Tyler, now in the kitchen, saw Olivia sucking on her injured finger. Her lips were
stained with the redness of her own blood. She appeared slightly panicked but
quickly looked away.
The maid quickly informed Tyler about Olivia’s wound when he entered the
kitchen. “Mr. Tyler, Ms. Olivia accidentally cut her finger while she was cutting the
tomato.”
Without much warmth in his tone, Tyler said, “Get the first aid kit to stop the
bleeding and clean her wound.”
Olivia remained standing, her back to him, and she didn’t make eye contact.
He looked at her for a few seconds, then left when the maid brought the first aid
kit over.
After the maid cleaned Olivia’s wound, she instructed her to stay away from the
kitchen. Olivia obediently sat down at the dining table when she noticed Tyler.
It was still dark outside since it was only six in the morning. Silence enveloped
them; neither of them

spoke.
Tyler set aside the newspaper he had been reading and asked, “Is the cut deep?”
It sounded like he was asking out of courtesy.
Olivia bit her lip and shook her head. “It doesn’t hurt.” She avoided eye contact,
and her eyelashes trembled slightly in the gentle glow of the room.
Tyler gave a flat response, and they lapsed into silence once again. He resumed
reading his
newspaper.
Shortly afterward, the maid brought the first dish to the table and then returned to
the kitchen. Wondering why they were up so early and appeared to have not
slept much, she continued preparing
food.
Tyler put down the newspaper when the food was served. He noticed Olivia was
still sitting there. Let’s eat. You can take a nap later.”
Olivia had a class in two hours, but her feelings were difficult to discern. Her pale
face was tinged with a faint blush, resembling a delicate porcelain doll with a
touch of color.
“Okay,” she replied.
They ate their breakfast in silence while the maid continued to serve each dish.
By 8 A.M., Tyler offered to drive Olivia to school. This time, she accepted his offer
as it was more convenient than taking public transportation, which might make
her late for class.
With the driver at the wheel and Tyler engrossed in documents, Olivia gazed out
the window at the beautiful morning sunlight, painting the world in golden hues.
Tyler, still focused on his documents, asked casually, “Is your finger really
alright?” Although hist eyes remained on the documents, he listened closely for
her response.
She turned her attention from the window and replied softly, “I’m really fine.”
Curiously, she added, “Does Naomi feel better today?”
“I’m going to the hospital after dropping you off at school,” he answered..

After a while, Tyler didn’t release her hand immediately. Instead, he simply said,
“Watch out.”
