The Beginning Of All Sins

Standing in the wardrobe, Olivia turned her head to glance at the phone.

Alisa, mindful of her sprained ankle from frequent movement, offered, “I’ll get it for you.”

She swiftly approached the table and hurried back to Olivia, handing her the phone.

Not many people had Olivia’s new number. Upon unlocking her phone, she noticed a text from Hillary. containing a photo. It showed Naomi smiling at the camera in the ward, wearing a ring on her finger and holding a cake.

Something sparkled on Naomi’s finger–the diamond ring.

Olivia froze at the sight.

[Naomi is feeling great today, Olivia]

That was the message Hillary had sent.

Naturally, Olivia saw that clearly.

Alisa didn’t understand why she was staring at her phone. She peeped at it and quickly looked away.

Similarly, Olivia unconsciously looked away from her phone.

Alisa asked, “Should I put it away?”

Though Olivia didn’t reply, Alisa took the phone away and put it back on the table. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Olivia turned to resume organizing the baby clothes in the wardrobe.

Just then, Ana approached and said, “Lunch is ready. Have Alisa finish up the rest.”

She sensed that Olivia seemed off, so she asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I’ll go down later,” Olivia said and turned around after closing the wardrobe.

Ana looked at Alisa, but the latter dared not speak.

Ana was curious but didn’t dwell on it. “Okay. Get Alisa to send the food up if you want to eat here.”

Olivia said, “It’s okay. I can take the elevator.”

“Okay,” Ana responded and left.

Olivia only moved away from the wardrobe once Ana had left.

By the end of the week, Olivia’s foot had healed enough for her to walk without difficulty.

Ana planned to take her out to the salon, where they would enjoy coffee and watch a horse race.

During their morning salon visit, Olivia encountered Sophie and Katrina. Her heart skipped a beat at the sight of Sophie, who noticed her in return.

Ana didn’t notice their reaction as she was only looking at Katrina.

Katrina approached with a smile. “You’re here too, Ana.”

Ana was dressed in a long white dress today, complemented by a shawl, exuding sophistication and elegance. Though not overly enthusiastic in her response, she smiled. “I brought my daughter–in–law for a

facial since we’re free.”

Katrina turned to Olivia and greeted her, saying. “I’m Katrina, Olivia, We’ve met before.”

Olivia recognized her as Claude’s mother. She paused for a moment before replying, “Hello, Ms. Katrina.”
