“Why couldn’t you tell me?” he asked. “It’s not your fault. On the contrary, it’s Naomi and me who put you in this position.”
His words were whispered into her ear, creating an intimate atmosphere between them.
Olivia could only cry weakly in his embrace.
When she eventually looked up, their eyes locked onto each other. Neither could look away from the other’s gaze.
The soft lighting illuminated her teary face in the dim room, creating a romantic ambiance.

She felt pain as she looked down, while he continued to stare at her face.
However, after a few moments of hesitation, he leaned in and kissed her lips.

Sophie gripped her shoulders, trying to comfort her. “Don’t worry, nobody dares to gossip about you again.”
Olivia merely gave a brief acknowledgment.
