Chapter 21
Tyler ordered two more dishes before handing the menu to the staff. “That's all for now. Bring at bottle of red wine.”
Olivia looked at his rather cold face and wondered if they were going to finish the wine themselves. Are we... drinking?”
He ignored her.
She was at a loss, unable to understand what she had done today to anger him. Just yesterday, everything had seemed fine between them, leaving her baffled and unable to pinpoint the cause.
The staff soon brought the wine, and Tyler poured it into the glasses. Olivia couldn't drink, so she stared at her glass.
Tyler picked up his wine glass and swirled it, his gaze fixed on her. She fidgeted with her dress and whispered, “I can't drink.”
He responded with a simple, “Whatever.”
After a moment of silence, Olivia spoke again, “Tyler, I'd like to return you the money.” She took out a card from her pocket and placed it in front of him slowly.
He looked at the card, his face expressionless.
“I can't take your money,” she insisted.
He remained indifferent to her words, leaning back in his chair and placing his hand on the table.” Sure.” After picking up the card and giving it a brief glance, he continued, “I respect your decision.” Throughout the meal, he neither spoke nor ate, only swirling his glass of wine but not drinking it.
Olivia wasn't sure if she had said something wrong. She sensed tension in the room's atmosphere as she nervously picked at her food. He asked, “Are you done eating?”
She quickly swallowed the food in her mouth and put down the cutlery. “Let’s go if you're done.”
His tone was rather mean. She couldn't understand his attitude today and looked at him with wide
eyes.
He put down the wine glass and picked up the napkin on his lap, getting the staff's attention. “Bill, please.”
Olivia wanted to offer to pay, but she swallowed her words after seeing his grim face.
He got up and stood there, staring at her. “Where do you want to go? I'll give you a ride.” He looked intimidating under the white light.

Olivia renomed to school in a daze. While standing in the field, Sophie suddenly appeared behind her and pamet her back “Where did you go, Olivia? I've been looking for you!”
Olga hadn't expected to run into Sophie in the field. Just as she was about to answer, she suddenly felt a numbling in her stomach.
