The Beginning Of All Sins

Tyler gently pinched Olivia's cheeks. "Why the sad face? I'm only going out for a short time. If you're really worried about being alone, I can have the driver take you to where I'll be, okay?" Olivia still clung to him tightly, unwilling to let go.

Camilla was just about to step into the room and say something when she noticed the tender scene unfold, just as the driver did. They shared a quick glance.

Both quickly looked away, choosing to remain silent.

Tyler cuddled Olivia a bit longer. "Feeling better now?"

Olivia seemed to soften like a gentle kitten. After his soothing attempts, she finally relaxed her grip.

Tyler still held her face, giving her cheeks a soft pinch or two. "Alright, I'm off now."

Olivia released his shirt, her lips forming a pout. Tyler laughed inwardly, keeping his amusement to himself. He then turned to Alisa. "Take good care of her." "Yes, sir," Alisa responded.

He hummed, lingering his gaze on Olivia for a moment longer before turning to leave.

Alisa asked Olivia, "Shall we go have breakfast?"

Olivia stirred slightly and nodded, looking a bit sad. The maid gently took her hand and led her to the dining room.

Outside, Camilla and the driver

caught up with Tyler. As they walked, Camilla began cautiously, almost like she was issuing a gentle warning, "Mr. Tyler? I hope I'm not I overstepping, but Olivia seems much different than before, don't you think?"

Tyler gave a noncommittal sound as they continued walking.

"Do you think it's okay for her to be this... clingy?"

Tyler glanced at her sharply, causing Camilla to immediately stop talking.

Meanwhile, Naomi remained in the hospital. The routine there hadn't changed much, except that Tyler wasn't visiting every day as before. Her mother had taken over keeping her company.

Hillary was still worried about Olivia, but Ana's hatred for Hillary was so intense that she ensured Hillary remained uninformed about Olivia's condition. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Naomi, dear," Hillary asked gently, "Has Tyler... been calling you?"

Naomi, who had been reading in her bed but not really focusing on the book, replied softly, "He's been busy lately."
