The Beginning Of All Sins novel (Olivia and Tyler) -
Chapter 84
Chapter 84
Tyler couldn't help but mock himself inwardly for getting into anargument with a girl who was still in school. He felt foolish for quarrelingover such trivial
matters.
As he reflected on his actions, he recalled what Naomi had said to him:“Will you fall for her one day?”
Realizing that he might have been too harsh, Tyler softened his toneand offered an apology, “Olivia, I admit that I acted Irrationally today.Can you forgive me?” He gently wiped the sweat from her pale faceand continued, “Take the painkiller. If the pain is still unbearable, we'llgo to the hospital.”
However, Olivia clutched his shirt again and lifted her tearful eyes tomeet his gaze. She looked exhausted from the pain, her vulnerabilityand coquettishness shining through as she spoke, “Nobody loves meexcept Jacob, You love Naomi, Mrs. Jones loves Naomi, and Dad lovesNaomi too. So many people love her, but what about me? I only haveJacob's love, Can't I have even a little bit? Why are you mad at me?”The maid, who had been observing silently, was taken aback byOlivia's
emotional outburst. She wondered who this Jacob was and whetherTyler was mad at Olivia because of him.
Tyler, however, remained silent, his expression still. Pity, weakness,and helplessness reflected in Olivia's eyes.
Even though she wanted to break free from his embrace and distanceherself from him, he held her tightly. He gently wiped away her tearswith his fingers, his chin resting on her head. He continued toapologize, “It's my fault, Olivia. I hurt you today. Forgive me for myrecklessness, okay?"
Jacob's unexpected appearance had shattered Olivia's emotionalbarriers, and she continued to push Tyler away, emotionally drained.“You all have people who love you. I only have Jacob, Why can't I haveeven a little love?”
Tyler continued to hold her and pressed her head against his chest.Her face was close to his body, and she was unable to move. Shesobbed in his embrace, clutching his shirt.
With his other hand, he held her hand and placed it on his chest.Perhaps from exhaustion, she eventually calmed down after a briefstruggle. She sobbed silently while nestled in his embrace, still grippinghis shirt.
The maid remained shocked by the emotional scene she hadwitnessed. She stood there, dumbstruck.
“Sleep now,” Tyler whispered softly into Olivia's ear.
She seemed to be under his spell, becoming obedient. Even after heremoved his hand from her face, she remained still, leaning on hischest, and soon drifted off to sleep. Curled up in a ball, she looked as ifshe didn't feel entirely safe even in her sleep.
Tyler tucked her into bed and whispered almost inaudibly, “There will bemany people who will love you.”
He sat by the bed, his expression still gloomy, as he watched her sleepthrough the night.
The next morning, when Olivia woke up, she felt embarrassed as sheremembered her outburst from the previous night. What had she said?Why had she acted as if she were drunk?
Feeling mortified, she briefly considered crawling back into bed to hide.After procrastinating for a while, she finally headed downstairs after themaid gently urged her several times.
Approaching Tyler, who was sitting at the dining table, she spokeawkwardly, Tyler, I-I'm sorry about last night. I...” She couldn't bringherself to continue, her face burning with embarrassment.
He set down his coffee mug and looked at her. “Is your stomach stillhurting?”
