The Beginning Of All Sins

Camilla asked, "Should I go with you?" However, Tyler suggested he accompany her instead.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Camilla wondered how Tyler could consider entering the women's restroom as she quizzically looked at him. But Tyler was unfazed and just turned to Olivia, saying, "Let's go."

Olivia, visibly embarrassed, seemed to prefer Tyler's company. They rose from their seats, and Olivia followed Tyler out of the room.

Reaching the restroom door, Tyler stopped, patted Olivia on the head, and reassured her, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

After a brief pause, Olivia entered the restroom. Tyler lit a cigarette to pass the time.

Inside, Olivia, who had been drinking a lot of juice and was frequently visiting the bathroom due to her pregnancy, took her time.

Tyler was halfway through his cigarette when he heard movements from inside, so he put it out to clear the air of smoke.

Olivia emerged, and Tyler approached, asking gently, "Done?"

Olivia, her cheeks tinged with red, avoided his gaze. Tyler took her hand, saying, "I'll take you around after the meeting," making Olivia smile broadly, her eyes sparkling. "Let's go," Tyler said, and they started walking.

Just then, Claude, who was chatting with a friend near the restroom, stopped in his tracks and, recognizing her, exclaimed, "Olivia?"

Hearing her name, Olivia looked up and saw Claude; her expression was one of confusion, but her demeanor was calm.

Claude frowned, sensing something was off.

Confused by Claude's intense stare, Olivia tightened her grip on Tyler's hand.

Tyler briefly met Claude's gaze and then focused on Olivia, reassuring her, "You're fine," before leading her away and ignoring Claude.

Claude kept his eyes on Olivia. His friend didn't know what was going on and asked, "What's wrong?"

Feeling Claude's eyes on her back made Olivia nervous. She clung closer to Tyler, nearly burying her face in his arm.

Tyler, appearing unfazed, guided Olivia like a protective partner. "Let's go in."

As they approached the door, Camilla stepped out and froze upon seeing Claude.
