    Sophie was at a loss for words when the store worker spoke to her.


    Olivia held Tyler’s hand. “Never mind. I don’t like it anyway.”


    Hearing Olivia’s words, Tyler handed the bag back to the store worker. He said, with a hint of coldness,


    “Hmm, let’s go home since you don’t like it.”


    Linda, carrying shopping bags, made her way to the door.


    “Let’s get going,” Tyler told Olivia.


    He walked to the door, and Olivia followed beside him. Colleen, alsoden with shopping bags, said in


    a muffled voice, “Tyler, you have to bring me back here when they have new stuff.”


    As Tyler and Olivia were leaving, Tyler turned to Sophie and said, “I’m sorry, Sophie. I didn’t realize it


    was yours. I should’ve asked. It’s not right to take what someone else loves. I owe you one.”


    His manners were impable.


    Sophie was too intimidated to really ept his apology. “I–It’s fine, Mr. Tyler. If Olivia wants it, she can


    have it,” she stuttered.


    “There’s no need. I’ll find her something else,” Tyler assured.


    Sophie replied awkwardly, “O–Okay, Mr. Tyler.”


    He continued on his way out, with Olivia following.


    Sophie stood still, then asked, “D–Did the employee say Olivia is Tyler’s wife?”


    Jacob clenched his fists, his face grim.


    After walking a bit, Tyler nced at Olivia, who seemed unfazed and calm. He then looked away,


    thinking she had gotten over her past issues with Jacob.


    Curious, Colleen asked in the car, “Who were they, Tyler?”


    “You don’t know them,” Tyler said tly.


    ‘Of course I don’t know them. That’s why I asked,‘ Colleen thought. But she got the hint that he didn’t


    want to talk about it.


    Sophie was still stunned, while Jacob’s anger was building up.

    She looked up. “What’s wrong, Jacob?”


    He nced at her and replied, “Nothing. Let’s go.”


    But Sophie stopped him. “What happened with Olivia? How did she be Tyler’s wife? Wasn’t his


    fiancee supposed to be her sister, Naomi?”


    She sensed Jacob knew something.


    “Didn’t you know that she fell for him? She got what she wanted and is now his wife. Why else would


    she leave me?” Jacob remarked bitterly.


    He scoffed, “What a b*tch… It’s just like something an illegitimate child would do. After all, wasn’t her


    mom a mistress too?”


    Seeing Jacob get more upset, Sophie tried to calm him down. “Jacob… How can you talk about Olivia


    like that?”


    “Are you defending her?”


    She held his hand. “No.”


    Jacob caressed her cheek. “Soof, you’ve shown me how beautiful a person can be, unlike her.”


    Sophie felt herself drawn to Jacob even more, despite the pain of hearing such things about Olivia, her


    best friend.


    So, to him, she was beautiful.


    When Tyler and Olivia got home, Tyler had a maid take their purchases upstairs.


    “Thank you, Tyler,” Olivia said to him.
