The Beginning Of All Sins

Olivia asked, "What was that noise?"

Claude looked away. He stopped squinting as he replied, "Nothing. It must be coming from downstairs."

Dylan walked a bit away before picking up his phone. It was Naomi on the line.

"Where are you, Dylan?"

"I'm at Blue Bar."

"I'm coming."

"You are?"

It was his friend's girlfriend's birthday, and she knew Naomi well. She probably invited her too.

Dylan was surprised to hear Naomi was coming. He hadn't seen her much since she got sick.

She said cheerfully, "Of course I have to come to Louis's girlfriend's birthday party. I've been in the hospital lately, so I'm bored. I need some fresh air."

"Are you coming alone? Please think about this."

"No, Tyler is coming with me."

Dylan was even more puzzled to hear that. Wasn't she Tyler's wife's sister?

He looked into the distance, thinking about this, and wondered if Olivia and Claude were still nearby. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

With a million thoughts racing through his mind, he replied, "Sure. We're happy you're coming since it's been a long time since we last met. The room is ready. I hope it's not too loud for you." Naomi joked, "But I'm coming in a wheelchair. Please don't tease me."

"How could we, Princess?"

"Okay, wait for me. Tyler and I are already in the elevator."

"What?" Before Dylan could respond, he heard the elevator open.

He wasn't sure where to look. Finally, he decided to face the elevator and saw Naomi there. She was in a wheelchair, with Emma pushing her. Tyler was standing next to her.

Dylan sensed that today might be eventful. Ignoring everything else, he went to greet them. "My, my. It's been a while, Ms. Naomi. It's great to see you again."

Naomi smiled when she saw him. "It's my fault we haven't met often."

Tyler asked, "Why aren't you inside?"

Dylan replied, "It's too loud in there, so I came out to take your call."

Tyler stood next to Naomi, instructing Emma on things to be cautious about.

Dylan looked at them and thought, 'They're acting just like they used to.'

As he pondered this, Tyler said, "Let's go inside."

Dylan smiled to avoid looking uneasy. "Let's go."

Tyler and Naomi led the way, with Dylan following.

As Dylan wondered whether they would bump into Olivia and Claude, a man and woman appeared from the opposite direction.

They stopped instinctively when they saw the three of them.
