The Beginning Of All Sins

Chapter 136

After a brief exchange, Claude proposed a trip to Sereneville. With no classes to attend on Saturday and her long absence from the village, Olivia found the offer tempting. She thought for a while and ultimately agreed.

After Tyler left that morning, she prepared to go. The maid asked, “Where are you off to, Ms. Olivia? Will you be back for lunch?”

“Er… I’m not sure!” Olivia replied, then quickly left.

Claude was waiting for her at the university, and he courteously opened the car door for her.

Olivia always felt calm around Claude, unlike when she was with Tyler. “Thank you!” she said cheerfully.

“For what?” Claude chuckled. “Come on, let’s hit the road before we get stuck in traffic.”

Olivia thought of what Tyler had said that night and glanced at Claude. What was going on? Why did Tyler warn her about upsetting Claude?

He noticed her gaze. “What is it?”
