The Beginning Of All Sins

Earlier, Tyler had spent the entire day busy with work, so as soon as he finished, he hurried over to

the Harris residence.

Maisy said, “Go ahead. It’s late, you should rest.”

He politely greeted the elderly family members but didn’t spare a glance for Ana before making his way upstairs. He headed to the guest room, while Olivia was brought to his bedroom.

The assembled family members refrained from commenting on the situation, recognizing the ongoing discord between Tyler and Ana. Tyler had a habit of being rude with Ana, even at family gatherings like this.

Ana remained composed and placid in the face of the situation, responding with a smile, “It’s alright. He was busy with work. Let him rest.”

Tyler, who had heard the commotion in his bedroom, emerged from the room with a stern expression. Ana, observing from upstairs, wore a knowing smile.
