The Beginning Of All Sins

Chapter 76

Eventually, Tyler caressed Olivia’s cheek. “Do you miss Jacob?”

Despite her inebriation, Olivia’s mind was somewhat clear. The sensation of his touch was agonizing for her. She clenched her teeth, finding his touch unbearable.

She replied softly, “I’m just drunk.”

In truth, it had been a long while since she had thought about Jacob. Initially, she had made a conscious effort to avoid thinking of him, but she wasn’t sure about what happened after that.

Tyler spoke gently, “Sometimes, the things you say when you’re drunk are the truth hidden in your heart.” He gazed at her with a certain allure, not wanting to frighten her. His voice remained soft as he asked, “Tell me, do you miss him?”

Uncertain of how to answer, Olivia fell silent.

Tyler didn’t press her for a response. Sensing her hesitation, he tucked her in gently. “Rest well if you’re drunk. Don’t drink so much again, understand?”

She gave a short response, looking rather disheveled.

As he started to rise, she suddenly grasped his hand. “Are you leaving?” She was scared. Not only that, she was currently in an unfamiliar place.

Tyler reassured her as he felt her fingers clutching his shirt. “I’m just getting you some water.”

Relieved, Olivia released her hold on him. She found it peculiar how easily he provided her with a sense of security. Like a sturdy tree, being in his embrace seemed to banish her fears.

Tyler poured a glass of water from the table and sat down beside the bed.

Olivia frowned and pouted as she complained, “It’s horrible.”

He glanced at her, “What’s horrible?”
