Chapter 4014
When the car rolled into the driveway, Dolly perked up, her ears on high alert.
For a second, she froze.
Then she dashed out and barked Like crazy at the Bentley.
Woof, woof, woof!
After they got out of the car, Dylan tried to pet Dolly, but the dog bounced around, dodging him.
It was clear even the dog was upset with him.
Meanwhile, Olivia stepped out with Leyla.
Leyla ran over and took Dolly by the collar, leading her canine friend away.
The dog strutted off, following Leyla with her tail held high.
Olivia shot a look back at Dylan.
The sun was setting, casting a warm glow over the yard, but the golden light made everything feel a little too quiet.
After a moment, Olivia said, “Thanks for dropping us off.
”
Her voice was polite but distant.
It was clear she didn’t want him hanging around.
Dylan caught the hint.
He took a step closer, his voice rough.
“I need to talk to you, Olivia.
”
Olivia glanced at the house.
Leyla and the dog, Dolly, were at the porch, watching them.
Leyla had her head tilted, looking adorable.
For her daughter’s sake, Olivia didn’t want to start an argument with Dylan.
So she replied, “I’m really tired today.
Can we do this another time?”
Dylan put a hand on her shoulder like he was going to hug her, but then he let go at her rejection.
Olivia turned her head away, showing she wasn’t interested.
Dylan took the hint, letting his hand fall.
He looked at her for a long moment, and then said, “Alright, I’ll leave.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
We’ll talk when you’re ready.
”
Olivia said nothing.
It wasn’t until Dylan’s car disappeared down the road that she felt a pang of sadness and realized her whole body had stiffened.
But she brushed off the feeling quickly; she had a child to care for and couldn’t dwell on Dylan or the drama he brought.
Life didn’t stop for him.
