Ana stood at the door with a big smile as Olivia got out of the car.

But when Ana saw that Olivia was alone, her smile disappeared. She watched Olivia walk inside and noticed the red bumps on her legs.

Ana glanced past Olivia, her head raised haughtily. "What's going on? Isn't he coming inside?"

"He... He said he needs to go back to Sandalwood Palace," Olivia answered carefully.

"Why on earth would he need to go there if he's already here?"

Olivia stayed quiet, looking down.

"Tell him to come back," Ana said in a low voice. "It's getting late. There's no good reason for him to go to Sandalwood Palace now."

Olivia was taken aback. She stood there, not moving.

"What now?" Ana snapped.

Olivia could feel Ana's intense stare as she stayed silent and still.

"Are you defying me now?"

Olivia realized Ana was giving her an order, not a suggestion. "I'm... I'm going," she said. She then walked to the door and paused on the steps without saying anything.

Tyler saw her and understood. He told his driver firmly, "Let's go."

The car drove away. Ana watched from the living room, her expression darkening.

Olivia closed her eyes-and then heard the car returning. She looked up, puzzled.

The driver got out and opened the door for Tyler. He walked toward her and said softly, "Don't just stand there. Get inside."

He entered the house. Olivia snapped out of her surprise and followed him inside.

Ana's stern look softened, and she smiled. "Welcome home, Tyler. I hope you and Olivia had a great time!"

Tyler knew what she was implying. "It was okay. Why are you still up?"

"Oh, you know me. You two were out, and I was worried. I wanted to wait until you both got home safely."

"Thank you for your concern, Mom."

"It's late. You both should get some rest now."

"I agree. Good night." He turned to Olivia, who was behind him. "Let's go."
