Chapter 216
The Beginning Of All Sins
Tyler gave Colleen a neutral look and said, âBuy anything you like.â His voice was firm, almost commanding.
âThanks, Tyler!â Colleen was excited. She grabbed Olivia by the arm. âCome on, Olivia. Heâs in a giving mood today.â
Olivia didnât really want anything. She glanced back at Tyler, who then told one of the staff, âFind something for her.â
He was talking about Olivia.
The staff hurried over to Olivia with enthusiasm.
Feeling a bit trapped under Tylerâs watchful eye, Olivia had no choice but to follow the worker around.
Meanwhile, Tyler sat down on a nearby couch to wait.
After about half an hour, Colleen had chosen many bags, both big and small, and even convinced Olivia to pick a few items.
Tyler looked at the bags Olivia was holding. âThatâs all? Arenât you going to get some clothes?â
Olivia replied, âI canât find anything I really want. I still have the clothes you bought me before.â
She immediately realized her comment might have sounded off.
Tyler stared at her silently for a moment, then went over to the display racks. He quickly selected a bag. âHow about this one?â
It was a unique pure white bag, rare and suitable for someone Oliviaâs age.
Colleen came over, surprised. âI thought that bag was sold out?â
Just as Tyler picked up the bag, a store worker stepped forward, apologizing, âIâIâm sorry, Mr. Tyler.
Someone already preâordered this limited edition bag.â
Tyler raised an eyebrow at her, making her nervous. Though disappointed, he didnât make a fuss.
Who reserved it?â
The worker didnât disclose the customerâs identity.
As Olivia stood next to Tyler, watching the scene unfold, a couple walked into the store, laughing and holding hands. When they looked up, they noticed Tyler and Olivia.
Sophie, the woman, thought she saw wrong. Olivia was in the store with Tyler, who was holding a white bag, looking at Olivia gently.
The light in the store highlighted Tylerâs attentive gaze, while Olivia listened quietly.
When Sophie froze, a store worker approached her. âMs. Sophie, umm⦠Would you mind letting this lady have the bag you reserved?â
Sophie turned toward where the worker pointed. Olivia, Tyler, and Colleen looked up at the sound, their gazes meeting Sophieâs and Jacobâs, who had just entered.
Sophie called out instinctively, âOlivia.â
She was on a date with Jacob, intending to pick up the limited edition bag that she had preâordered a month ago. She hadnât expected to bump into Olivia, Tyler, and someone she didnât know.
Jacob, beside her, observed silently.
âWho are they, Tyler?â Colleen asked.
Tyler remained expressionless and silent.
Just then, the worker added, âMs. Sophie, thatâs Mr. Tylerâs wife. Could you please do me a favor and consider letting her have the bag?â
