Turning, she spotted none other than Raphael and his fiancee, Elissa, inside.

Elissa grinned, "Hop in, Miss Evans. We can drop you off."

Olivia hesitated.

Apart from her history with Raphael, she had to consider Dylan's feelings...

Plus, third-wheeling with them? Awkward!

Subconsciously, Olivia declined.

But in a snap, the car halted, and Raphael hopped out, opening the door.

He met her gaze and said firmly, "Get in."

In the car, Elissa took the passenger seat, looking at Olivia.

"Thanks, but I'll grab a cab. It's easier," Olivia said casually.

Rain poured down outside.

Everyone was in a hurry because of the bad weather and catching an empty cab was tough.

Olivia pretended to fiddle with her phone but Raphael insisted, “Hop in! It's just a ride."

Elissa chimed in softly too.

Feeling pressured, Olivia forced a smile and said, “Alright then, thanks!"

She settled in the back. Her hair was quite dampened from the rain and, seeing this, Elissa passed her a towel, smiling.

Olivia wasn't keen on bonding with Elissa because her own history with Raphael and the fact they had a daughter complicated things.

She didn't think it would be a good idea to get too close to Elissa.

She decided it was best to keep her distance.

During the ride, Olivia sat quietly in the back.

Raphael focused on the road, ignoring her.

At red lights, Raphael and Elissa chatted about movies or their travel plans. The way they conversed was like that they had been married for a long time.

Raphael casually conversed with Elissa.

Finally, they reached Olivia's destination.
