Olivia returned home to nurse Eason, while Dylan went to meet a client with Edwin and returned late, reeking of alcohol.

Olivia was already in bed, with Eason's crib next to hers.

The room was dimly lit.

“Can I stay here tonight?" Dylan bent down to check on the baby and then gazed at Olivia with intense eyes.

Before Olivia could respond, Dylan climbed into the bed without waiting for her permission.

After removing his shoes, he hopped onto the bed, fully clothed. He then pulled Olivia into his arms and buried his face in her neck...

Unable to free herself from his hold, Olivia resigned herself to his actions, attributing them to his intoxicated state.

Just as she thought Dylan had drifted off to sleep, he whispered, "Olivia, even after Eason's birth, you're still distant from me. I know it's not that you can't forgive me. It's that you can't stop blaming yourself... If you hadn't given me a chance back then, maybe none of this would have happened!"

Dylan had consulted a psychologist.

The psychologist explained that Olivia's behavior stemmed from anxiety. She most likely believed keeping her distance from Dylan would prevent further hurt. This was challenging, especially given their frequent encounters.

This was why Olivia was struggling.

As he finished speaking, Dylan embraced her tightly.

Olivia looked away and said flatly, “I've never thought that way! It's not as complicated as you think, Dylan!"

Upon hearing Olivia's words, Dylan held back his response.

He resolved not to fight with his loved one. From then on, he never argued and always respected Olivia! If not for Dylan, Olivia wouldn't be facing such struggles. He was entirely to blame!

Yet, she didn't push him away.

She let him stay and him help with Eason, even spending time with her family.

All the while, she bore her pain alone.

Reflecting on this, Dylan held her even tighter. Olivia struggled to breathe and said impatiently, “It's not as serious as you think, Dylan! I'm just not in the right mood, and it's the same with everyone."

She was out of sorts and uninterested in anything...

Suddenly, Dylan sobbed up.

Hearing Olivia's explanation, he questioned whether he had truly satisfied her previously...

As dawn approached, Dylan had an epiphany and whispered in her ear, “Even if you are unwell, I'll always be here for you! I'll pack my things and move in with you as soon as possible."

Hearing his proposal, Olivia was stunned. “What the heck? Why would you want to move into my house? I'm not looking to support anyone else."
