The Beginning Of All Sins novel (Olivia and Tyler) novel Chapter 406

The moment Olivia opened her eyes, she hesitated, then called out, "Tyler."

She suddenly remembered something. Now fully awake, she pushed herself up from the bed, using her arms for support.

Tyler walked into the room in the middle of the night, and she accepted this calmly. They stood in silence, their shadows mingling on the floor.

After a moment, Tyler broke the silence. "How was the doctor's appointment?"

"Everything seems to be fine," she replied.

"You should tell me right away if something's wrong," he continued, his concern seemingly focused only on the baby.

"I will," she responded.

There was a distance between them, more from Tyler's side. Olivia seemed indifferent, as if bumping into him and Naomi at the bar didn't bother her.

Tyler said nothing more.

Olivia waited, expecting him to mention her and Claude, but instead, she watched his shadow detach from hers. She stared at the floor for a while, and when she looked up again, Tyler was gone; the door closed behind him.

Olivia was surprised he hadn't mentioned the incident. She lay back down, her body going limp as she buried herself in the bed, too restless to sleep now.
