The Beginning Of All Sins

When Olivia got back to Harrises, Maisy was already waiting to greet her while she was still in the car.

As Olivia stepped out, Maisy came over just as Alisa assisted her. “Oh, my dear granddaughter–in–law, was the checkup tiring?” she asked. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“It’s okay. We just had an ultrasound and a blood test,” Olivia replied, a bit surprised as she wasn’t

expecting this from Maisy.

Maisy’s smile widened. “That’s wonderful. Let’s head inside. We’ve prepared some delicious food.”

Alisa, noticing Maisy’s joy, chimed in, “The doctor said the baby is growing well.”

Maisy’s smile grew even brighter. ‘Of course! Our family’s child will definitely be strong.”

Ana and Keith approached as they were talking. Olivia saw Keith and greeted him softly, “Dad.”

“You must be tired. Go inside and rest,” Keith told her, walking closer.

Olivia and Keith didn’t talk much, usually just exchanging greetings if they crossed paths. He was typically

reserved, but today, he seemed genuinely happy.

Everyone seemed thrilled by the news.

All Olivia could manage, feeling overwhelmed by the family’s happiness and Keith’s kindness, was to say, ”

Thanks, Dad.”

Ana stood beside Keith, visibly overjoyed, and instructed the maid, “Make sure we have enough blankets

so she doesn’t catch a cold.”

Worried she hadn’t been careful enough, Alisa quickly ushered Olivia into the living room.

Inside was a feast, and many relatives had gathered, much to Olivia’s surprise.

Maisy approached her, saying, “Olivia, show the ultrasound pictures to them.”

Before Olivia could respond, the relatives swarmed around her, snatching the pictures to admire them. Such an adorable child. Look at the tiny hands and feet. He looks just like Tyler and Olivia,” they

exclaimed.

Caught off guard by the guests, Olivia sat quietly, watching them praise the fuzzy image of the baby.

Maisy beamed with pride. “Absolutely. The baby has the best features of both Olivia and Tyler.”

The relatives cheered, “Great job, Olivia! The first child is a boy, the next heir to the family business.” They started congratulating Ana and Keith.

The couple responded modestly, “He’s just a normal child,” though their happiness was obvious. The house buzzed with excitement over the mere photo of the baby.

Feeling more comfortable, Olivia placed a hand on her belly, her face showing a spontaneous smile. After a while, craving some peace, she let Alisa help her upstairs away from the bustling chatter of the living.
