The Beginning Of All Sins

Olivia stopped in her tracks when she heard “Mrs. Tyler.”

Tyler glanced at her and, to keep up appearances, put his arm around her waist. “Let’s go.”

Once inside, he withdrew his hand.

The jeweler approached Olivia. “Mrs. Olivia, have a look at our newly arrived wedding rings.”

Olivia never imagined she’d be ring shopping with Tyler, so she remained silent.

Tyler gestured to her. “Take a look around.”

The jeweler guided Olivia to the display counter, then brought out a ring with a shiny diamond. The moment it appeared, it caught Olivia’s eye.

It was breathtaking, and Tyler noticed her reaction.

The jeweler explained, “This is a rare pink gem. The cut is exquisite, and the pink hue looks adorable. It suits you perfectly.”

The men’s ring next to the pink diamond was more understated.

Olivia shook her head. “No, I don’t like this type of ring.”

Tyler said, “Try it on.”

As if hearing a royal decree, the jeweler slid the ring onto Olivia’s finger.

Olivia felt overwhelmed. The pink diamond, surrounded by smaller diamonds, left her speechless.

“It’s so beautiful,” the other workers remarked. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Feeling uncomfortable with the extravagance, Olivia asked the jeweler to remove it. “This is too much. and draws too much attention.”

The jeweler hesitated, then glanced at Tyler before complying and presenting other designs.

Some were too mature, while others were too simple.

Knowing it was just a browsing session, Olivia didn’t show much interest. She let the jeweler try on various rings.

Suddenly, Tyler spoke up, “We’ll take the pink diamond.”

Surprised, Olivia looked at him. “Tyler, the pink diamond…” She wanted to express her concern that it might overshadow the men’s ring. She wasn’t supposed to be the main character in their marriage but rather an accessory.

The jeweler seemed to have read her mind, so she smiled and said, “Do you think the ring is taking the attention away from the men’s ring? That was the intention of the design. The men’s ring was there as the protector, just like what Mr. Tyler would do as your husband.”

Olivia felt awkward but relaxed upon hearing this explanation.

Tyler didn’t react and just stared at the pair of rings. “We’ll take them,” he said to the jeweler

“Of course, Mr. Tyler

Olivia grabbed his wrist. “Isn’t this too expensive?”
