The Beginning Of All Sins

Chapter 289

Olivia felt sad when she heard that news. It reminded her of the time her grandmother passed away. She looked at Claude and asked, “Are you okay, Claude?”

Claude kept smiling, a comforting kind of smile. “I’m fine. It happens, you know? He had a long life, so I think it’s better just to accept it.”

Olivia was happy to hear he was taking it well. “That’s good to hear.”

Then Claude looked at her with a curious gaze. “But what about you? Why are you here all by yourself?”

Olivia might have wanted someone to talk to, but she didn’t find anyone. That’s why she asked her driver to bring her here.

She didn’t tell him that, though. Instead, she said quietly, “I just felt like coming here.”

Claude didn’t press her further. With a smile, he asked, “What’s up with your phone? I couldn’t reach you.”

Suddenly remembering, Olivia quickly explained, “Oh, Claude, I meant to tell you. My phone and SIM card are busted, which is why I couldn’t text you back.”

He frowned. “They’re broken?”

She nodded. “Mm–hmm.”
