Chapter 255
The Beginning Of All Sins
âMaybe he has things to deal with.â
Olivia didnât say anything else. Thinking back to when Tyler teased her by calling her a hamster made her a bit angry, but she couldnât help smiling a little.
âIâm not a hamster,â she thought.
After Naomiâs car drove off, Tyler looked away. His smile had disappeared, and he went back into the house.
Naomi let the wind hit her face while she was in the car, enjoying the fresh air.
She got back right when Hillary was rushing out of her room, looking really worried.
Seeing Naomi, Hillary rushed over and grabbed her hands. âWhere have you been, Naomi?!â
âI went out to get some fresh air, Mom,â Naomi replied.
Hillary noticed Naomiâs hands were cold. âDid you go to the Harrises?â
Naomi kept her face calm. âI was feeling bored, so I thought Iâd take a stroll.â
Hillary was worried something might have happened. âIs Tyler back from his business trip?â
âYes, he is.â
Just from Naomiâs response, Hillary felt something was wrong. She asked, âWhat happened?â
Hillary was really upset about Olivia being pregnant and married to Tyler. âI canât believe this is happening. If I knew Olivia could get pregnant naturally, I wouldnât have arranged for her to marry Tyler.
Now, sheâs known as his wife. Why does life have to be so difficult for you?â
Hillary couldnât stop crying.
Naomi was quiet at first, seeing her mom cry, but then she said without much emotion, Mom, itâs a good thing Olivia is pregnant. Their marriage was just for the baby. Itâs just a procedure. Why are you so upset?â
âJust a procedure? The Harris family is making a big deal out of the baby. Olivia has been living with them since the wedding. They even call her âMrs. Harrisâ. Thatâs not just a procedure. Sheâs become his real wife,â Hillary argued.
Naomi remained calm.
Hillary was still emotional. âArenât you worried sheâll take your place?!â
Naomi smiled at Hillary. âYouâre worrying too much. Olivia wonât let that happen. Sheâs not evil. Letâs stop talking about this, okay? Did you forget who Olivia did this for to begin with?â!
Hillary wanted to argue, but Naomiâs look made her stop.
âIâm tired, Iâd like to rest,â Naomi said. She went to her bed, and a nurse helped her get comfortable.
As soon as she was settled, her phone beeped with a new message. She took a glance and saw it was from someone she didnât know.
[Look how the tables have turned, Naomi. I didnât beat you, but your own sister did. Did you know she went to the Reesâ party holding Tylerâs hand? They looked so sweet together.]
Naomi tightened her grip on the phone as she read the message. She knew who had sent. it right away.
It was Gina. It had been a while.
