A coy smile flickered across Debbie’s face as she lowered her voice and said, “Mom, when I went to deliver fruit to Dylan today, he actually encouraged me to target Chloe.”
“Really?” Carol was skeptical.
They were both aware of Dylan and Chloe’s affair.
‘Dylan had neglected Olivia for so many years for Chloe’s sake. He loves Chloe so much. He would never possibly encourage Debbie to target Chloe?‘ Carol thought.

Debbie nodded earnestly and said, “Of course. Although Dylan didn’t explicitly tell me to torment Chloe, he said I shouldn’t take Chloe too seriously and that I don’t have to be polite to her, as long as I don’t seriously hurt or kill her.
“It was clear he was hinting for me to target Chloe. When I first started bossing Chloe around, Dylan came down once.
“Chloe went to him to complain, but he ignored her and told her to leave if she didn’t want to work. He clearly doesn’t care about Chloe anymore.
“Dylan even showed concern for me, saying that if Chloe dared to hurt me, I should tell him and he would stand up for me.”
Carol’s brow relaxed, and her tone carried a hint of joy. “It seems Dylan has already grown tired of Chloe. You should seize this opportunity and quickly win Dylan’s favor.
“Now that Olivia is pregnant and Chloe is abandoned, he has no outlet for his desires. You can use this to your advantage and rise in his esteem,” he said.
Debbie nodded shyly. “I’ll do my best.”
Carol said, “I bought you a few outfits today while I was shopping with Olivia. Some of the dresses are in the popular sexy style.
“I’ll find ways to take Olivia out more often. You should wear them at home and move around in front of Dylan more. I don’t believe he can resist.”
Debbie became even more shy. Although she wanted to be with Dylan, she was still an inexperienced young girl when it came to sex, and discussing such
matters made her feel embarrassed.
Olivia was tired after a day of shopping and went upstairs to rest after dinner.
In the middle of the night, she suddenly felt rustling noises beside her.
The bed dipped slightly, and a hot body pressed against her, pulling her into a broad and sturdy embrace.
“Julian?” Olivia whispered softly.
The room was dark, but she was certain that the man holding her from behind was Julian.
“It’s me,” Julian said, holding her tightly. “I missed you so much. Do you miss me?”
Olivia’s heart raced. She had missed him too, constantly.
As he held her, his hand rested on her lower abdomen for a moment. “You’re not neglecting yourself. You’ve put on some weight. Your little belly is starting to show.”
He seemed to find her slight bump endearing, gently caressing it with his large hand.
Her stomach used to be flat, and now it was slightly rounded. It wasn’t noticeable through clothes, but it was evident to the touch.

Chapter 73
Olivia felt a mix of emotions. ‘How do I tell him that I’m not just fat, but pregnant?‘ she wondered.
Julian’s muffled voice sounded in her ear. “Is it okay now?”
Olivia took a deep breath, finally making up her mind, and calmly said, “It is okay, but you have to be careful. I’m pregnant, and I don’t want you to hurt the babies.”
Julian froze. He stood there stunned for more than ten seconds before cautiously asking, “Mine?” His voice was filled with unmistakable anticipation.
Olívia replied, “No, Dylan’s.”
She could feel the intense heat radiating from Julian’s body rapidly dissipating.
The air became suffocatingly oppressive, and an indescribable emotion spread through her heart, making it feel sour, and her nose tingled.
She didn’t want to hurt him, but for the greater good, she had no choice but to do this.
‘I’m sorry,‘ she silently apologized in her heart.
Olivia was relieved that the room was dark. She didn’t have to face him directly. She didn’t have to force herself to hide her emotions before she could easily conceal them.
However, as soon as she thought this, Julian flipped on the light in the room.
The sudden brightness drove away the darkness, and the glaring light was so intense that Olivia had to squint her eyes, which were momentarily
blinded.
It took her a while to fully adjust, and she finally opened her eyes.
The strands of hair falling over his forehead cast shadows in the light, obscuring his eyes and making them even more inscrutable.
The aura around him was suffocatingly intimidating, causing Olivia to feel tense instinctively.
She also sat up, cross–legged on the bed, her hands resting on her knees, her head slightly bowed, too afraid to meet his expression.
The room was so quiet that she could hear her own breathing.
The atmosphere was so oppressive that Olivia instinctively clenched her fists.
She slowly regulated her emotions, took a gentle breath, and spoke softly. “When you were here last time, I was already trying to get pregnant. I kept refusing your advances to avoid confusing the paternity of the children.
“Everything I told you was true. Dylan did say he would give me a child. And I really want to return to family life.
“And if you don’t want to cut ties with me, we can continue this kind of relationship. I admit I really like your body.”
Julian looked up at her. “What about your heart?”
Olivia said in a low voice, “It doesn’t matter. No matter who I like, our current relationship won’t change. I will have the twins.”
Julian suddenly let out a laugh. “Olivia, you’re really heartless. Have you never taken me seriously, which is why you can so cruelly trample on my feelings?”
Olivia felt a sharp pain in her chest, and her throat went dry, unable to utter a word.
Julian got up, got out of bed, and began to dress with his back to her,
Then he walked to the balcony and, as he used to, flipped over and jumped down from the balcony, disappearing silently,

Olivia stared blankly in the direction of the balcony, feeling a void in her heart.
She wondered, ‘This time he must have given up completely and won’t come back, right? That’s good.
‘I don’t have to worry about him discovering that the timing of my pregnancy is off and thus questioning who the children’s father was. I don’t have to worry about things being exposed and not getting Mr. Wilson’s inheritance.”
This was the outcome she wanted. It was the result of her careful calculations. Everything was going according to her plan.
‘But why do I feel so bad inside?‘ Olivia thought.
Her face felt cold. Olivia reached up and touched her face, finding it wet with tears.
