The Beginning Of All Sins

Tyler looked at the time before finally letting her go. “It’s time to eat.”

Olivia was still hesitating. “You go first.”

He knew that she was shy. “Okay, I’ll go ahead.”

As he started to button up his shirt, Olivia watched him closely, her gaze fixed on his shirt until he reached the second button near his collar.

He removed his hand from her waist and stood up. To his surprise, she reached out and grabbed the corner of his shirt, looking a bit flustered. “A–Are we going to clean the bed?” she asked, her concern focused on the mess on the bed due to her morning bleeding.

Worried that she might try to clean it on her own later, Tyler gently reassured her, “We have maids for that. You can’t be late, let’s go downstairs.”

Olivia released his shirt, and he affectionately ran his fingers through her hair before leaving. “Don’t

overthink it.”

He headed downstairs first, and Maisy was already at the dining table, enjoying her meal. She greeted him with a smile, “Did you sleep well?”

Ana was busy preparing some soup and chimed in, “Of course he did. We’ve been waiting for the two of you. We never expected we’d wait until 10.”

She placed a bowl of soup in front of him, but Tyler was more interested in the newspapers on the

table. “I overslept,” he replied simply.

Ana knew she had won. Tyler could no longer deny his relationship with Olivia now. She smiled warmly and said, “We really like Olivia. Your grandma too. Bring her here more often.”

He didn’t even look up when he said, “Let’s see.‘

Meanwhile, Olivia made her way downstairs, feeling slightly out of place in this grand setting. She thought everything at Sandalwood Palace to be breathtaking, but the numerous maids and luxurious decor in the Harris home made the place feel like a castle.

Seeing Olivia arrive, Tyler set aside the newspaper and encouraged her, “Make yourself at home, there’s no need to be formal.”

Despite her nervousness, Olivia greeted them politely, “Hello, Grandma, Ms. Ana.” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

“Just call me Ana,” Ana insisted, showing her affection.

Tyler remained silent about his mother’s behavior, neither opposing nor encouraging it.

Olivia stood there, accepting their warmth, while her thoughts drifted to her period. She walked over and took a seat next to Tyler.

Maisy observed Olivia closely and found her to be quite docile. The more she looked at her, the more

she liked her.

Before Olivia could begin eating, Ana suddenly took her hand and placed a gold bracelet with

diamonds on her wrist.

The unexpected gesture startled Olivia, and she looked at her wrist to find the beautiful bracelet.

Maisy said cheerfully, “This is the bracelet for my granddaughter–in–law. I’m giving it to you, wear

it.”

Olivia immediately understood the significance of the gift, but she hesitated. How could she accept something that rightfully belonged to Naomi?

Quickly, she turned her gaze to Tyler, seeking his guidance.

Ana went on, “Olivia, you must accept what Grandma has given you,” then she looked at Tyler for his agreement. “Isn’t that right, Tyler?”
