Chapter 137 1/2 ude pushed open the battered front door. “This won’t do. This is your home! We


    should clean it up. 11 Olivia had been avoiding looking at the dpidated house, but something about


    ude’s determination and her own presence there gave her courage. “I… I agree.” ude led her


    inside, still holding her wrist firmly. They walked through the hallway and stopped at a broken wooden


    window sill. “We can fix these. All of them!” He let go of her and started working on the window,


    showing gentleness and focus in his actions. Watching him work helped Oliviae to terms with the


    reality of her old home. She smiled. “Wait for me! I’ll go buy some cleaning tools!” That night, Tyler


    returned to Sandalwood Pce at 10 pm and noted the silence. “Where’s Olivia?” he asked one of the


    maids. “Um, Miss Olivia left after you did this morning. She hasn’te back yet.” “Till now?” The maid


    nodded. Tyler’s serious expression darkened further. “Did she say where she was going?” “Uh… no. I


    asked when she’d return, but she said she had no idea.” Tyler shot a stern look at her and immediately

    the house had transformed into something much nicer. They sat across from each other at a table with


    ramen bowls. Chapter 137 “Boo–hoo, ude. All that hard work only got you a bowl of ramen!” Olivia


    teased. ude chuckled, studying her dusty face. “Then maybe you owe me a big treat next time!”


    “What would you like?” “Hmm, I should aim higher. How about… some convenience store–bought


    microwave macaroni?” Oliviaughed despite her bashful self. ude seemed captivated by her


    laughter. “What’s wrong?” she asked. “N–Nothing,” he said, shaking his head. Suddenly, his phone


    rang. He nced at it and immediately frowned. “Huh? Who is it?” she asked, then saw the screen. It
