Chapter 350
The Beginning Of All Sins
Oliviaâs smile returned as she gently rubbed her belly.
The following morning, she woke to find Tyler had already left. Alisa, helping her out, briefly mentioned, âMr. Tyler left early today.â
âOh,â Olivia responded simply.
Her phone soon rang, and it was Hillary on the other end. Olivia, puzzled, answered, âGood morning, Aunt Hillary.â
âMorning! I hope Iâm not disturbing you,â Hillary said in a cheerful tone.
It sounded noisy on Hillaryâs side. Olivia was curious about the purpose of the call. âI just woke up.â
âIâm calling to invite you to Naomi and Tylerâs anniversary party. Please come!â
After a moment of silence, Olivia asked, âWhat anniversary is that?â
âItâs to celebrate their years together!â
Olivia was stunned.
ââ¦Hello? Did you hear me?â Hillary checked.
âUh, yes. About that,â Olivia quickly replied, âI actually sprained my foot. Iâm stuck in bed for now.â
âOh, thatâs too bad. Your sister was really hoping to see you there. By the way, did you hear about the new building Tyler donated to your school for their anniversary? Itâs named â Naomi Valentina.â Isnât that lovely?â
After a pause, Olivia answered, âI see.â
Hillaryâs happiness was clear. âAre you sure you donât want to come?â
âI really canât, Aunt Hillary. Sorry.â
âI understand. Iâll see if we can find some time to visit you instead. Take care, bye!â
It seemed to Olivia that. Hillary had called just to share these things. Her motive couldnât be more obvious.
Olivia tightened her hold on her phone. âNaomi Valentina?â That name symbolized strength and wellâ
being, was it not?
She was right; It was a very nice name.
Any upset on Oliviaâs face disappeared quieldy. None of this was her concern. Her only job now was to focus on her pregnancy and give birth to the child.
Hillary had been suspicious for some time. Naomiâs sudden downturn on the day Olivia was rushed to the hospital remained a troubling mystery. Naomiâs condition had been stable thanks to her doctors, yet she worsened suddenly.
Had Naomi seen something that deeply upset her? What could have caused such distress? Only Tyler and Olivia knew.
Hillary remembered it was Tyler who had rushed Olive to the hospital.
