Chapter 521

Nyla nodded. "When did you get here?"

"Not too long ago," Oliver replied.

"You should take a look at those dark circles under your eyes," Nyla remarked.

Oliver paused briefly, then chuckled. "Alright, you got me. After Buddy fell asleep, I was worried you'd forget to call, so I came over."

Nyla frowned, about to speak, but Oliver cut her off, "You've been up all night. You must be exhausted. Get in the car, and I'll take you home to rest."

Nyla nodded. "Okay."

She opened the door and got in. Once she buckled her seatbelt, Oliver started the car.

"Why don't you rest at my place? I'm off today, and I can watch Buddy," Oliver suggested.

Nyla hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. "No, I'll pick Buddy up and head home. You finally have a day off—you should relax."

Oliver insisted, "It's fine. Watching Buddy is pretty much relaxing for me anyway. And he's probably still asleep."

Meeting Oliver's gentle gaze, Nyla couldn't bring herself to refuse again.

"Alright," she said.
