Chapter 10: You Are the One I Care About

(Olivia’s POV)

I picked up my phone and dialed Connor Rivers‘ number. The call connected almost

immediately.

“Livvy, do you like those three dresses?” His voice was gentle, warming me from the inside.

“Yes,” I replied, twirling a strand of honey–brown hair around my finger. “Which one do you think

looks best?”

Connor chuckled softly, his tone indulgent. “Didn’t I say, if you like them, just get all of them? I already asked Henry to order all three.”

I blinked in surprise. “So fast? I just sent them to you a moment ago.”

“I was afraid they’d sell out quickly. They’re all limited editions,” he explained.

“Thank you, Con.” The words felt inadequate for his thoughtfulness.

“Livvy, you’re my fiancée now. We’re family. There’s no need to be polite.”

His words settled over me like a warm blanket. Family. It had been so long since I’d felt like I

belonged anywhere.

After hanging up, a gentle warmth lingered in my chest. The conversation with Connor was filled with understated tenderness and patience.

Unlike Ethan, who barely remembered what I liked to eat, Connor seemed to notice everything about me. The contrast between the two men couldn’t be more stark.

“By the way,” his voice had continued before we ended the call, “I’ve arranged for a car to be delivered to you tomorrow. Henry will bring it over.”

I felt a flush of embarrassment creep up my neck. Three years ago, I’d left Riverdale to avoid

our arranged marriage.

My father, Richard Winters, had cut off my finances in response, forcing me to build my life from scratch in Harbor City. The memory still stung.

“No need,” I said softly, “taking a taxi is quite convenient.”

There was a brief pause on the line. When Connor spoke again, his voice carried a trace of

disappointment.

“Is it because you still don’t want our engagement?”

I instinctively shook my head, only to realize he couldn’t see me through the phone.

“No, Con. Since I’ve agreed to the engagement, I’m willing. It’s just that I’ll be back in Riverdale

in a few days, so there’s no need to buy a car now.”

“But you have that court hearing in the neighboring city next week,” he countered gently. “You’ll

need transportation.”

“Of course,” Connor replied simply, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. “I pay

attention to what matters to you, Livvy.”
