Chapter 159


    The elders showered Olivia with gifts, leaving her feeling overwhelmed. She nced at Tyler, who


    simply instructed her to ept them.


    As the dinner dragged on for three hours, Olivia grew increasingly exhausted, Tyler, having drunk wine,


    appeared weary as well.


    Returning to their room, Olivia noticed Tyler’s red eyes. “Are you alright? If you’re hungry, I can ask the


    maid to bring something up,” she offered.


    Tyler, appearing somewhat intoxicated, replied with a curt “Yes,” before unbuttoning his shirt and


    copsing onto the couch. He rested his forehead on his hand, looking pale and drained under the


    harsh light.


    Concerned, Olivia watched him silently.


    The room was quiet, and after standing there for some time, Olivia began to feel the onset of fatigue,


    and her skin became sticky. This unfamiliar room made her feel uneasy. She turned to Tyler and asked,


    “Can I take a shower?”


    Tyler, still resting his head in his hand, mumbled a nonchnt “Yes,” without opening his eyes.


    After a quick shower, Olivia emerged to find food on the table and Tyler still in the same position. She


    asked softly, “Did you ask the maid to bring food?”


    Tyler finally opened his bloodshot eyes, causing Olivia to gasp in shock. “Are you sure you’re alright,


    Tyler?”


    Unaffected by her concern, Tyler casually nced at her. “Can you get me a ss of water?”


    Recalling how Tyler had been the only one drinking during the gathering, Olivia hurried to fetch water.


    Unsure of his preference, she returned with a ss and ced it beside him.


    “It’s warm.”


    Tyler took the ss and downed it, his Adam’s apple bobbing visibly. The ring on his finger caught the


    light, making him appear more like a married man. His expression seemed to grow colder with the


    presence of the ring.

    “Feeling better?”


    Tyler handed the empty ss to her. “Yes.”


    “You want more?”


    “Hot.”


    Confused by his response, Olivia fetched another ss. But as she handed it to him, Tyler’s gaze


    seemed to pierce through her, sending a chill down her spine.


    “Your phone is ringing,” he suddenly said.
