As a single mother, Olivia neither had the courage nor the time to chase after a lost relationship.

More importantly, she could no longer trust him.

She remembered that... he once promised to always love her and never be unfaithful.

Olivia was determined not to linger on these past memories.

So she said softly, "Don't show up anymore, Dylan!"

Dylan stared at her, shocked by her words.

He felt as if he no longer knew Olivia. It wasn't just about their past relationship; she seemed to have transformed into someone entirely different... In the past, despite being hurt by Raphael, Olivia had always approached life with positivity and never hid her feelings, whether she was happy or not.

Now, however, Olivia appeared detached.

In fact, she always looked calm and sensible.

Over the years, Olivia had developed from a naive girl into a mature woman.

Seeing his puzzled expression, Olivia guessed his thoughts and said with a faint smile, "Maybe this is just what growing up looks Like!"

After speaking, she started to walk away.

But suddenly, Dylan grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.

In truth, Dylan hadn't planned on making such a bold move on her.

It was hardly the place for intimacy, with the potential for servants to walk by. Besides, they were no longer together, and Olivia clearly despised him. She was unlikely to welcome any advances...

But there was only one thought in his mind at the moment... which was to kiss Olivia.

Holding her tightly, he bent down to kiss her. Olivia, naturally resistant, struggled fiercely. In response, Dylan forcibly tilted her chin up and pressed his lips against hers...

He kissed her deeply... over and over again.

Shoving at his shoulder, Olivia exclaimed in a shaky voice, “Dylan... have you lost your mind?"

“Yes, I have gone mad!" Dylan answered, his voice quivering with a deep, masculine edge... Held tight in his embrace, Olivia felt his hand slip beneath her silk dress.

Back when they were together, Dylan had often brought her pleasure with his touch.

The moonlight cast a dim glow around them.

Though they were once married and now both single, the situation strangely felt like an illicit affair... Even as Olivia resisted, she found herself reluctantly impressed by Dylan's skills.

With her head tilted back, she collapsed in his arms.
