The Beginning Of All Sins

Linda stood by Olivia’s side and said, “Ms. Olivia, there are only three of these in the world, and you got the last one.”

Olivia gave a short response and said nothing else. Linda didn’t say more too and left the house.

Olivia went upstairs with the bag, while Tyler walked out of the dressing room after changing. He saw her coming in with the bag.

“Have you tried it on?” he asked.

“Not yet,” she said.

“Give it a try.”

Olivia opened the package and took out the bag. It was pure white with a shiny golden chain, and the leather felt soft and nice.

“Thanks, Tyler.”

“Thanks“-That was what she said to him the most.

Tyler didn’t show much reaction. He sat on the couch and held the armrest. “Why are you thanking me? Don’t you like it?”

How could anyone not like the bag? It was irresistible to many young women. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

She shook her head and said, “I like it very much.”

“That’s great,” he said.

Olivia quietly held the cool chain for a while.

Tyler asked, “How’s your day?”

He often asked her that, as if he was worried she wasn’t adjusting well to the new place.

“It was good. Aunt Ana… and Grandma are kind to me,” she said.

“Hmm, that’s good,” he paused before asking again, “Do you still feel nauseous?”

Tyler stood up and walked over to her. She fidgeted when he did that, but she quickly stopped.

He asked again, “You’re not sad anymore?” He was asking about Jacob.

She shook her head. “Not anymore.

“Good. I’ll take you out when I have time. I might be going on a business trip.”

Olivia didn’t expect him to say that, and her heart started beating fast again. She quickly said, “I’m fine here, Tyler.”

Tyler gently touched her cheek, making her skin feel warm. She stayed still, not moving away from

his touch.

He felt relieved to see she was feeling better. “Mm–hmm, we’ll talk about it when the time comes.

He didn’t push further, but he added, “You should eat more.

”

Although Olivia wasn’t feeling as sick now, she still wasn’t eating much. She hadn’t fully regained her appetite, and it was obvious she had lost weight. Nevertheless, she looked a bit better today.

She slightly moved her face away from his hand. “I will, Tyler.”

She turned pale again when she moved away from his touch. She shut her eyes, not looking at him.

The next morning, Ana said to Tyler, “Olivia doesn’t have much to do, so I thought we could go see a

musical.”

When Tyler heard this, he asked Olivia, “Would you like to go?”

Olivia knew Ana wanted to take her there to learn more about culture. Maybe she hoped she would become the kind of sophisticated wife that matched the Harris family.
