Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 1407

Sam didn't look quite right; his emotion was clearly showing it.

Olivia was initially wearing a smile, but when she saw Sam's expression, confusion overcame her. She asked, "What's wrong? Your friend just wanted you to attend her wedding. Why do you have such a look on your face? Are you on bad terms with the couple?"

Olivia's questions jolted Sam back to his senses. He pursed his lips and did not answer.

"Why won't you say anything?" Olivia walked to him, and she squinted in suspicion as she sized his expression, wanting to say more.

But then, Sam asked, "How long has she been gone?"

Taken aback, she replied after a while, "About twenty minutes, I think."

Twenty minutes?

It was definitely too late to chase after her now. Sam furrowed his eyebrows, silent.

Olivia finally had a guess at his strange behavior. She stared into Sam's eyes, and the smile in her eyes gradually faded.

"The girl who sent the wedding invitation was petite and quite attractive."

Hearing that, Sam's frown deepened.

Seeing his reaction, Olivia was sure of her conjecture. She snorted and asked, "She's the woman in your heart, isn't she?"

Her words finally made Sam come to a realization. He regained his composure and looked at Olivia. When he saw the absolute chill in Olivia's eyes, Sam realized he had committed a foolish blunder.

"I..." He stammered, wanting to say something, but Olivia shoved the wedding invitation to him, then walked into the bedroom and slammed the door shut.

Bang!

The loud noise rang through the building. Sam couldn't help but frown. After a moment, he lowered his head and looked at the invitation card in his hand. He reluctantly put it back on the table, deciding to put the groceries in the kitchen first.

When he came out after sorting out the groceries, he realized the door remained shut. Olivia hadn't come out since she went in.

He wanted to explain, but to his dismay, he twisted the doorknob only to find the door locked from the inside.

"Ollie?"

With a frown, Sam called out to her.

There was no response from inside.

Olivia sat in the room sullenly, leaning against the window as she looked at the scenery from up high. Vera's appearance filled her thoughts. She had wondered why a girl would come to look for Sam. Who would've thought she was the woman he had a crush on.

Although she had known from the beginning that he had someone he was infatuated with, she had, for some reason, agreed to work out this romantic relationship with him.

Over the past few days, she had fun. Sam would endure all her torments without any complaint.

However, after meeting that girl and seeing Sam's expression when he knew she was getting married, Olivia could not shake off the discomfort overwhelming her.

Perhaps everyone was selfish when it came to relationships. She was the same.

The sound of the door opening broke the silence.

The door suddenly opened. Olivia craned her head back and saw Sam standing at the door. He was looking at her helplessly, with the key to the door in his hand.

Their eyes met. Olivia looked away right after. Angrily, she said, "Wow, you have the key to this room. Amazing. I can't even have a moment to myself. Hah."

Sam glanced at the key in his hand before putting it in his pocket. He then walked to Olivia's side and lowered his head to look at her.

"Wouldn't you be angrier if I leave you here alone for a long time?"

Would she? It had only been a few moments since she first came in so she hadn't a clue. All that filled her mind was the squeamish sensation she felt seeing the change in Sam's expression.

It was like when she passed by a store as a child and saw the enticing

candies displayed through the

window but could not afford to buy

them despite how much she wanted them.

Her heart seized up, and dejection befell her.

As the thought crossed her mind, Olivia laughed self-deprecatingly. "So what if I get angry? Either way, I won't be able to win that woman in your heart."

At a loss for what to do apart from changing the topic, He said, "I've bought all the things you asked for. Don't you want to take a look?"

At that, Olivia glared at Sam. "Are you trying to change the topic?"

Sam took the opportunity to explain, "Not exactly. But if this upsets you, it's pointless to mention it repetitively too."

Olivia glared at him for a long time before she suddenly got up and shoved him aside to head toward the kitchen.

As she used quite a lot of strength, Sam was pushed a few steps back, but the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.

Ollie was still rather easy to coax.

Olivia organized the kitchen for quite some time before Sam finally joined her. As she was still upset, she kept instructing Sam to do this and that.

"Slice up this melon. It must be cut thinly, nicely, and evenly.

Wash the vegetables and gut the fish. Clean the fridge too."

Because he knew she was still angry, Sam complied with her every request, following her orders to a tee.

Olivia stood back and instructed him, acting like a conductor. Her anger dissipated when she saw how compliant Sam was.

Although he had upset her, Olivia still decided to let it slide as Sam went to her immediately and did as she said instead of mulling over the wedding invitation.

The reason for it was that she knew there was no way one could give up on someone they loved that easily.

If he could, then what would that make him?

If Sam could give up on someone so easily, he'd also cast her aside easily someday and go for another woman even if he actually fell in love with her. That was not the kind of relationship Olivia wanted.

Besides, Vera was getting married, and she was never romantically involved with Sam, to begin with. no matter what, nothing would. become of them ever in this life. What he needed to do was gradually forget about Vera and turn to Olivia.

By the time he was completely devoted to her, she'd bend him to her will.

The lunch they had was wholly prepared by Sam. All Olivia did was stand behind him and barked orders.

After that, she just sat at the dining table and waited for the food to be served.

Olivia's rage was all gone by the time they finished eating.

However, the invitation on the side was still staring her in the face. It was a serious matter Olivia knew she had to prioritize.

"She knows I'm your girlfriend, and she asked me to attend the wedding with you. Are you going?"All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Sam, who was still picking at his food, paused at the question.

It was a life or death question.

"What? You aren't sure yet? Or you aren't sure how to answer me?"

Sam was silent for a moment before he looked Olivia in the eye and asked, "Do you want to go?"
