Chapter 130
“It got late one night, and I figured we'd catch up again, so I didn’t mention it,”
Tyler casually explained, looking away from Claude.
Naomi sensed Tyler was keeping something from her, but she couldn't quite put
her finger on it. After a moment of silence, she greeted, “Olivia, come on in with
Claude. Why are you lingering at the door?”
Olivia realized that, but after what had happened before, she didn’t dare walk in
without a proper invitation, so she hesitated.
Claude noticed Olivia's caution and looked puzzled. Tyler also glanced at Olivia.
Naomi couldn't help but try to read Tyler's expression as she saw them outside,
but his face remained impassive, revealing nothing.
Olivia still stood there, prompting Claude to say, “Let's head inside.”
Olivia snapped out of her hesitation and glanced anxiously at Claude before
moving forward. “Okay.”
Claude noticed her unease and wondered if her relationship with her sister
wasn’t as good as she
claimed.
Olivia entered the room slowly. After observing her for a moment, Claude
approached and placed a hand on her shoulder. “Come on,” he said gently, and
they proceeded forward.
Naomi felt a sense of intimacy in the gesture, while Tyler's gaze turned colder
and colder.
Claude removed his hand smoothly, showing no sign of awkwardness, as if he'd
done it countless
times before.
Naomi was puzzled. “Claude, are you and Olivia...” She trailed off, still fixated on
Olivia's shoulder even after Claude withdrew his hand.
Claude was open about it and said, “l met Olivia at my sister Sophie’s birthday
party. I treat her like a
sister.”
Olivia didn’t think much of Claude’s actions, but Naomi’s scrutiny made her
uncomfortable. After a brief pause, she added, “I've only met Claude a few times,
and he’s always been kind to me, like a
brother.”
However, Naomi turned to Tyler. “Did you know they knew each other?”
Tyler, who had been silent until then, met Naomi’s gaze and replied, “Yes.”
Olivia couldn't shake the sense of chilliness she sensed from Tyler, so she
became even more cautious.
Tyler then said to the nurse, “Pour us some water please.”
Claude smiled, and Hillary stood up. “Let me do it, Tyler,” she offered.

Tyler replied, “Not at all. We're glad you came.”
