    Tyler seemed to be reminiscing as the lecturers talked. He picked up the wine ss and took a sip. ”


    That was a long time ago.”


    The lecturer continued, “I’m sure Ms. Olivia is just as talented on the piano as her sister.”


    Olivia couldn’t y the piano at all. She wasn’t artistic and felt ufortable with all the praise. She


    had always been in the background, and now being praised like this felt awkward.


    Olivia knew they were only praising her because of Naomi.


    Just as thepliments were piling up, Tyler calmly interrupted, “Olivia is Naomi’s sister, but she’s not


    a piano prodigy. Everyone has their own strengths, and they’re not obligated to have the same

    Olivia had been lying, and Tyler caught her. She didn’t dare look at him.


    But Tyler lifted her chin, forcing her to look at him. He gazed at her and said, “I just wanted to have


    dinner with you. Is that so hard?”
