How could there ever be a woman who would willingly allow her man to be with another woman, regardless of the reason?

Eventually, Olivia closed the book with care.

Meeting Dylan's gaze, she tenderly proposed, “Leyla and I can accompany you. You can introduce us to Gina's father as your wife and daughter."

Dylan's expression shifted, his eyes veiled.

Though he offered neither affirmation nor negation, Olivia discerned his response.

It wasn't the answer he wanted from her.

If she and Leyla accompanied him, it would be inconvenient for Dylan, and it would also complicate matters for Gina, the young lady who had feelings for Dylan, to express her emotions. Suddenly, Olivia found the situation absurd. Yet, she maintained her composure.

She refrained from arguing with him or ending their relationship.

She offered a serene smile, her voice carrying a gentle tone. “It sounds urgent over there. You should start packing now. If there's no one to look after Dolly, leave her under our care."

Dylan looked at her.

She had indeed undergone a transformation from before. She had grown more mature and gracious, yet she wasn't the same person he remembered.

His voice carried a hoarse tone as he murmured, "I'll return within a few days.”

“Okay," Olivia responded softly.

She rose to her feet, her slender fingers deftly fastening his shirt buttons. Meeting his gaze, she uttered, “Dylan, take care of yourself while you're away."

Later, Olivia stood on the balcony, watching as Dylan entered the car.

Dylan Lowered the car window and glanced up at her.

Olivia gave him a gentle smile.

Dylan would never understand Olivia's greatest fear-it wasn't him marrying someone else. It was the news of his death.

It was only after enduring such pain that she could muster a smile as she watched him leave to meet another woman.

Dylan wasn't aware that Olivia had gone to the airport when he boarded the plane, and she stayed until the flight took off. She waited for more than 10 hours without sleeping, just to hear from him that he had landed safely.

Upon landing, Dylan's first message was a reassurance of his well-being to Olivia.

"I've arrived. Safe and sound!"

Olivia looked at the message on her screen, her fingers lingering on the screen for a while. Leyla approached, stumbling a little, and embraced Olivia, inquiring about Dylan.

In Leyla's heart, Dylan held the position of a father.
