The Beginning Of All Sins

The family was really worried about the failed NT scan, especially Maisy. One afternoon, she decided to go to the church to pray, even though she usually stayed at home.

At the same time, Claude was leaving the church. He noticed it was being closed and saw some cars parked outside.

When he looked closer, he thought the cars belonged to the Harris family. Curious, he asked the priest, “Why are you closing the church now?”

The priest told him, “Ms. Maisy is here to pray for her soon–to–be–born great- grandchild, sir.”

Claude realized what was happening. He saw bodyguards and maids bringing in lots of offerings and figured it had to be the Harrises going all out for this prayer. He thought,” Are they doing all this because the baby might be in trouble?‘

After that, Claude went on his way.

Later, Olivia received a text message from Claude asking how she was doing. They hadn’t talked much since the party they both went to, so Olivia was excited to hear from him.

She replied, [I’m doing well, Claude. Thanks for asking.]

[If you need any help, just let me know.]

Olivia felt really supported by that and thanked him. [Thank you, Claude]

Their chat didn’t end there. They kept talking, and Olivia shared a lot about how she was feeling and what was on her mind. Claude was there for her, offering kind words and

support.

Olivia was so tired that she fell asleep while texting and holding her phone.

Tyler walked into the room and saw her sleeping. He went to tuck her in and noticed she was still holding her phone tightly, as if she fell asleep while waiting for something.

Tyler gently took the phone from her and finished tucking her in. Olivia was sleeping so soundly that she didn’t notice. She flipped over and slept on her side.

He watched her for a while and decided to leave her to rest and went to the study, thinking to leave the phone on the desk. But then, he got curious and unlocked her phone.

Right away, her chat with Claude popped up. He looked quietly for a long time, and just

then, the phone rang.

He stared at Claude’s name and answered it coldly, “Hello?”

Claude was silent for a moment, surprised to hear Tyler instead of Olivia. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Tyler, sounding a bit sarcastic, said, “Looks like you’ve got a lot of free time.”

“I was worried something happened to Olivia when she stopped replying, so I called to check.”

“She’s doing great. You don’t have to worry about her,” Tyler replied.

“She’s been telling me how she feels. I don’t need to hear it from you,” Claude retorted.

Tyler hung up after a short response. He looked cold as the sound of the call ending filled the quiet study.
