Olivia came out of the president's office and returned to the department.

Just as she entered the department, she saw the person sitting in her seat.

The man in a white shirt had short-cut hair and broad shoulders.He must be Brayden.

Surprised, Olivia thought of something and walked over.

"Brayden." She looked at the thermos on the desk.

Brayden got up and handed her the phone.

"I saw your phone was on, so I took it and looked at it.I'm sorry"

Olivia smiled.

"It's okay.There's nothing in my phone that you don't know"

He knew everything about her.

Was she afraid that he would know something else? Olivia took the phone and put it aside.

Without looking at it, she said, "Have you been waiting for me for a long time?"

"That's OK.I got here at twelve’ Brayden looked at her phone on her desk, took the thermos, and said, "Let's find a place to eat."

It was getting late.

"Okay."

The two of them went to the tea room and ate dinner.

Brayden cleaned up the thermos.

Olivia asked, "Did Max behave well at home?"

It had been at home by itself before.

But now that Brayden was beside it, she was relieved But she still wanted to know if it behaved well.

Brayden looked at the tenderness in her eyes, scratched her nose, and said, "You're caring too much about it"

Olivia smiled and her eyes were shining.

"With you at home, I definitely want to know"

Brayden stopped talking and looked at her deeply.

Seeing that he was silent, Olivia was puzzled.

"What's wrong?"

"I find you more and more beautiful."

She said, "with you at home".

His heart trembled when he heard her words.

Olivia was stunned.

Brayden did not always praise her, but occasionally he would suddenly praise her.

But this was the first time she had ever heard that he said she was beautiful.

Olivia blinked her eyelashes and said with a smile, "I'm a little embarrassed by your sudden compliment."

Brayden touched her face, his fingers on her eyebrows, and his eyes were filled with infatuation.

"Don't be shy.In my heart, you are always the most beautiful"

She had a beautiful face and an even more beautiful heart.

Preston stood outside and watched Brayden's hand fall on Olivia's eyebrow.His eyes suddenly hurt.He curled his lips and walked away.He was actually jealous to see such a scene.

Preston, did you really fall into love with her? Brayden tidied up the thermos and looked at Olivia with a serious expression.

"Olivia, I have something to tell you"

He didn't want to say it, but Leona called her and sent her a message.He couldn't hide it anymore.

Olivia saw his expression change.She became serious, "Tell me."

"Grandma wanted us to marry on the same day when Everett gets married, but I rejected her."

The tenderness on Olivia's lace disappeared the corners of her mouth drooped.

Brayden took her hand and whispered, "She called you and sent you a message.I didn't read il, bul Ib know what she was going to say"

"No matter what she says, Just ignore it.l take care of it"

Olivia pursed her lips.

No wonder he was reading her message.

"She is anxious."

Otherwise, Leona wouldn't have called her.

"Whether she's anxious or not, you don't have to worry about it.lam going to give you a happy wedding instead of one full of conspiracies"

Olivia looked up, her lips curved, and her eyes were smiling.

"I'll listen to you"

Everything was up to him.

"Okay” Brayden left the company.

Olivia returned to her seat and took her phone.

Dane moved Kyra’s bassinet from the living room into our bedroom.

As I got Kyra situated in our room, Dane went outside to talk to the guys and fill them in.He wasn’t gone long and told me our house would be guarded from now until Devin is found.

I had this gut feeling there was more going on than we realized.I couldn’t sleep at all, and Dane slept off and on.I lay there watching Kyra most of the night and every little noise I heard had me sitting up in bed.

Kyra woke up around five that morning and I decided to stay up for the day.

After getting us both dressed, I headed to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Kyra seemed to be her normal happy self just like any other morning, blissfully unaware of what was going on.

Unsure if all three guys had stayed outside all night or not, I opened the front door and stepped out to find Zayd standing near the steps, "Good morning," I told him.

He smiled at me as he walked up the steps, "Morning dear.You should still be asleep."
