Chapter 18
In the hotel room, Tyler gently held Olivia’s face, and their eyes locked onto each other.
He leaned in and kissed her lips, a kiss filled with an undeniable intimacy. Their lips pressed together
for a while, their breaths mingling closely as they finally parted
That night, Olivia didn’t return home. Mrs. Jones woke up twice during the night, at 1 A.M. and AM, but
Olivia was nowhere to be found.
Tyler’s car only left the hotel the next day. He dropped her off at school directly, and when she opened
the car door to get out at the school entrance, he reached out and took her hand. She froze instantly
and looked at him, uncertain.
“Text me?” he asked.
She wasn’t entirely sure what he meant by that, but after a moment, he clarified, “I’ll buy you some
clothes.”
She pursed her lips and glanced at her current outfit, realizing that wearing what she had on the night
before was rather inappropriate now. With her bag in hand, she nodded after some hesitation.
Only then did he release her hand, allowing her to step out of the car. She hurriedly made her way

Tyler, too, seemed a bit disheveled. He was dressed in the same shirt and slacks as the previous day,
and they were visibly wrinkled. It was a rare sight to see him looking so unkempt.
When Olivia arrived at school, she received a bank transfer notification on her phone. Pausing to check
it, she saw that a significant amount of money had been deposited from an unfamiliar account.
She gripped her phone, overwhelmed by the unexpected financial windfall. She didn’t need that much
money right now. All she hoped was that Tyler wouldn’t reveal to her family that she had been working
at the hotel.
Looking at the unfamiliar account number, she decided to accept the money for the time being and
continued on her way to class.
In the evening, Olivia received a text message from Tyler asking, “Are you done with school?”
She did not reply after reading the message.
A little while later, Tyler sent another text, “I’ll wait for you at the school entrance.”
Quickly after leaving the classroom, Olivia put her phone away. Sophie approached her at that
moment, saying, “You’re not working part–time tonight, Olivia. Will you have dinner with me?”
Her heart raced with anxiety when she heard Sophie’s voice, fearing that Sophie would notice she was
wearing the same clothes as yesterday. Thankfully, Sophie seemed oblivious to her attire. Olivia
replied, “There’s… something I have to deal with at home. I have to go now.”

Sophie looked like she wanted to say more, but Olivia quickly left the classroom.
When she arrived at the school entrance, she saw Tyler’s car waiting for her.
He had been busy with meetings all day, and exhaustion was evident as he rubbed his temples while
sitting in the car. Upon spotting Olivia, he put his hand down.
She entered the car and settled into the passenger seat.
Tyler had changed his clothes and looked fresh again. He drove away from the school.
She hesitated and then said, “Actually… You don’t have to buy me clothes. I’ll change at home.”
Ignoring her protest, Tyler continued driving and took her to a lingerie store at the shopping mall. A

Olivia kept her eyes downcast and avoided looking at the merchandise. Tyler, on the other hand,
appeared as nonchalant as ever as he picked up a white lace lingerie set and handed it to her, asking, ”
What about this?”
In reality, Olivia rarely bought lingerie. Her mother had passed away when she was young, and she
hadn’t received guidance about her body when she moved in with the Jones family.
She had learned about such matters during puberty and in college. Consequently, she hardly
purchased lingerie, nor did she regularly replace her old ones. She would wear the same sets for years
until they wore out.
Olivia hadn’t expected Tyler to notice this detail about her. She felt awkward and self–conscious
standing in the lingerie store, as if she were being scrutinized.
Tyler then said, “I’ll wait for you outside. Go try this on.”
Blushing, Olivia gave a brief nod in response.
