Colleen wasn’t convinced. “No way! | saw you crying on your bed!”
Olivia spotted Maisy in the hall and approached her, grimacing a little. “Sorry, | woke up late today.” She felt
embarrassed for being the only one who hadn't been up early in the Harris household. It made her seem rude
and messy.
Maisy frowned. “Sweetie, you're apologizing for sleeping in? You were busy! It's only natural you'd sleep in.

Well, good thing there's still a grace period for you!”
“Right. Mom, Dad,” Olivia said with great difficulty.
Keith's expression softened. “Now that’s better.”
Ana smiled. “Now, Tyler may seem cold sometimes, but we all care for you as our daughter-in-law, alright?”

“No
we didn’t fight. Colleen made it up,” Tyler interjected quickly.
Keith observed their faces but said nothing. There was only so much one could do in their child's relationships.
Olivia couldn't remember how lunch ended. They stayed at the residence for another day before leaving for
Sandalwood Palace that night.
During the journey, neither of them tried to break the ice.
