The Beginning Of All Sins

Chapter 21

Tyler ordered two more dishes before handing the menu to the staff. “That’s all for now. Bring at bottle of red wine.”

Olivia looked at his rather cold face and wondered if they were going to finish the wine themselves. Are we… drinking?”

He ignored her.

She was at a loss, unable to understand what she had done today to anger him. Just yesterday, everything had seemed fine between them, leaving her baffled and unable to pinpoint the cause.

The staff soon brought the wine, and Tyler poured it into the glasses. Olivia couldn’t drink, so she stared at her glass.

Tyler picked up his wine glass and swirled it, his gaze fixed on her. She fidgeted with her dress and whispered, “I can’t drink.”

He responded with a simple, “Whatever.”

After a moment of silence, Olivia spoke again, “Tyler, I’d like to return you the money.” She took out a card from her pocket and placed it in front of him slowly.

He looked at the card, his face expressionless.

“I can’t take your money,” she insisted.

He remained indifferent to her words, leaning back in his chair and placing his hand on the table.” Sure.” After picking up the card and giving it a brief glance, he continued, “I respect your decision.”
