Chapter 156
The Beginning Of All Sins
Tyler raised his eyebrows. âDo you think I canât afford this?â
Feeling selfâconscious with so many people around, Olivia quickly withdrew her hand and replied, â
No.â
Tyler maintained his gaze on Olivia but addressed the jeweler. âWeâll take them.â
The jeweler wrapped the rings up, and another employee began displaying earrings, bracelets, and necklaces.
Feeling overwhelmed by the rings, Olivia lost interest in the other jewelry. She stood beside Tyler like a mannequin as the employees adorned her with various pieces.
Tyler, recognizing that men werenât the focus of jewelry, silently observed Olivia trying on necklaces.
A clever employee allowed Tyler to choose. âMr. Tyler, which necklace do you think suits Mrs. Olivia best?â
Tyler examined a few options before selecting a simple necklace encrusted with white diamonds. The one with the white diamonds.â
The employee smiled and nodded. âThis necklace complements the rings well. Since Mrs. Olivia is young, itâs best to go for a design that doesnât age her. You made an excellent choice.â
After placing the necklace around Oliviaâs neck and the ring on her finger, they found the set matched perfectly, exuding purity and liveliness.
Tyler agreed, pleased with the selection. The earrings and bracelets that came later were delicate and simple.
Choosing the jewelry took the entire afternoon. Olivia found it surprising that Tyler spent so much time with her, especially in such a boring place as a jewelry store.
Once finished, the store informed them that their purchase would be delivered to Harris Residence within half an hour, in a safe.
In the car, Olivia said quietly, âI really donât need any of those. Itâs just for show.â
Tyler raised his eyebrows. âWe bought them, so just wear them.â He then turned to the driver, instructing him, âLetâs go.â
Olivia gripped her skirt tightly as Tyler stared out of the window. They stopped interacting.
When they arrived at Harris Residence, Olivia and Tyler got out of the car, where Maisy awaited in the living room. Spotting them, she inquired eagerly, âDid you find something? Did you choose the biggest and best?â
Olivia stood behind Tyler, feeling bashful. âYes⦠We found somethingâ
Maise beamed. âWonderful. Itâs important to pick what suits you. Just let Tyler know if you need anything. Heâs not one to skimp.â
Reflecting, Olivia wondered if Tyler had ever been frugal. He didnât strike her as the type.
She didnât know what to say except, âOkay. Thanks, Grandma.â
