Chapter 266
The Beginning Of All Sins
Naomi was stunned. She was frozen, just stared at Tyler with shaking hands.
âDo you think Iâm selfish, Tyler?â she asked, her voice shaky.
Tyler looked at her, his expression changing. âNo, I think I donât know you anymore, Naomi.â
They had been together for years. He knew Naomi was spoiled at home and could be full of herself, but now, he felt like she was almost a stranger to him.
Naomi closed her eyes, not saying anything. Tyler also stayed quiet, then he walked away.
When she heard the door close, she felt as if her heart had fallen to a very cold, dark place.
Olivia was having nightmares again. She woke up suddenly at night, panting and scared. She didnât want to go back to sleep, so she forced her eyes to stay open.
She froze when she heard a car engine downstairs. She knew Tyler was back from visiting Naomi.
When he came in, she was sitting up, waiting. âHow was your sleep?â he asked..
âNot bad,â she lied..
Tyler looked at her pale face. Although she was fairâskinned, she looked even paler. She didnât look like she had a good sleep; instead, she seemed startled and restless.
âYouâll have the amniocentesis in a few days,â he reminded her.
âI know,â Olivia said, trying to sound brave. She was mentallyâprepared now.
Tyler looked worried but tried to comfort her by gently putting his hand on her head. His touch made her feel a bit better.
âThe baby is mine too. Iâm here, no matter what, understand?â he said gently.
Olivia felt weak but safe with him. âOkay.â
He looked down, with a soft warmth in his eyes. âSo, stop worrying about it. Letâs just.
wait for the amniocentesis test.â
This time, she didnât say anything. She just nodded.
Tyler finally removed his hand from her head.
Right after that, Olivia asked, âHowâs Naomi?â
The warmth in his eyes dimmed a bit. âDonât worry about her. She just needs to look after her health.
Sheâll be fine.â
Olivia had no idea what had happened between them.
âItâs been a long time since I last visited her,â she said. She was actually worried that Naomi would get upset if she learned about the failed NT scan.
âDonât worry, sheâs going to be okay,â he responded, sounding cold.
Olivia realized it was pointless to worry. With Tyler there, Naomi would be okay.
âRest now,â he said.
She nodded at that. She actually wasnât sleepy anymore, but she felt better seeing him at home.
