"Humph." Olivia snorted coldly and crossed her arms in front of her chest like a queen. "That's more like it. I forgive you!" Sam silently twitched his lips. "Why, thank you, your majesty," he thought.
"Here's the thing. Do you remember attending my grandmother's birthday banquet? My Uncle Pollard knows of our relationship, and he wants to work with you." At that, Olivia suddenly raised her hands and clarified, "Don't getwrong. I'm not saying you have to. He just wants a chance to meet you and askedto be the middleman. As for whether you want to work with him, it's all up to you. I'm just letting you know. I'm not forcing you whatsoever!" "So, you're saying you wantto promise that I'd see your uncle?" Olivia nodded. "Yes, and with that, my task is complete." There was ssilence in the living room. Sam said, "Okay, when do you want to meet him?" "So, it's a yes?" Olivia was rather surprised. She thought he would shirk for a bit. After all, the Yardley Corporation wasn't ssmall corporation. Although her uncle's company wasn't small fry either, it was still incomparable to Yardley Corporation. If the Yardley Corporation was willing to work with her uncle's company, they'd be lowering themselves.
Hence, she wasn't hopeful, to begin with.
"Yes," Sam replied. He looked in another direction and said in an indifferent tone, "Happy now?" "Of course!" Olivia thanked him with a smile as she had achieved her purpose. Sam looked at her speechlessly.
How could this girl be so carefree? She had been screaming at him with bloodshot eyes a second ago, and now she was smiling.
So, was she really angry, or was it all an act? Sam was rather bewildered.
"Don't worry. Next tyour parents cto you, I will definitely take good care of them." Sam wanted to say that it was not necessary as it'd only be more chaotic if they interacted too often. Moreover, his mother seemed to adore Olivia very much. If she entertained them, wouldn't his mother force them to get married? However, unexpectedly, he didn't say anything when he saw how happy Olivia was.

Who would've thought Olivia's words bectrue later. Emma didn't like to visit in the past. Even if she missed her son, she would only visit once in a while.
However, since she found out Sam had a girlfriend, she cover more frequently. At first, she'd cto visit Olivia with Marcus every day.
But because both women had a lot to talk about, Marcus'd usually get neglected, so he wasn't willing to accompany her much later.
Marcus also felt helpless when the father and son talked about this.
"Your mom has always been domineering. What can I do if she wants to visit Ollie? I can't tell her not to come, can I?" Sam also felt speechless after hearing that.
However, Marcus had his suspicions, so he whispered, "You and Ollie aren't really a couple, are you?" Hearing this, Sam was shocked. "Dad, how did you know?" "You and I are from the smold. Do you think I wouldn't know if she is really your girlfriend?" Marcus sighed helplessly. "Although I don't know what's going on, if you don't like her, it's better if you two don't hold each other back like this. You're no longer young, and a girl's youth doesn't last forever. Besides, it'd be bad for her reputation if she lives with you for too long. You get me?" Sam fell silent after hearing this. This was indeed something he hadn't taken into account before. He had only thought of how he and Olivia could help each other but didn't realize how this would hurt her reputation.
Moreover, she calone at first, but as twent by, she moved her furniture and appliances over and even ended up sleeping over.
Everything that happened thus far had been beyond his control, and he even unexpectedly accepted the current situation despite finding it unbelievable at first.
Thinking back, it sure was a strange affair.
"I got it, Dad." "Your mother is over the moon now and insists Ollie be her future daughter-in-law. She even had the family heirloom prepared for Ollie." Sam beceven more surprised. "Does Mom like Olivia that much?" "Yes." Marcus nodded. "Look at you. You haven't had a girlfriend for so many years: Your mother and I are quite worried. Now you finally have one, and beautiful and excellent at that Your mother is very satisfied with Ollie in every way." Hearing this, Sam finally understood why Marcus actively took the initiative to point out their fake relationship. He wanted Sam to do something about it.
After all, they weren't a real couple. If something were to happen, both of them would certainly get hurt.
"Dad, I know what to do. I'll find tto clarify it with Mom." "Mm, just don't let Olivia down. Honestly, I like her too. If you're really willing to take this seriously, it'd be good to make her a part of our family." Make Olivia a part of their family? Sam never thought about it before, but thinking about it now, he actually didn't find the idea awful. Had ke cto think of Olivia fondly since spending twith her? However, this was not a reason for them to be together.
Sam did not answer, and Marcus did not impose his will on him.
Meanwhile, Emma and Olivia even exchanged contacts and chatted every day.

Emma would constantly criticize Sam, but at the stime, she'd imply how reliable he was, and marrying him would be a good choice.
Olivia knew where Emma was going with things, but she found it hard to explain. After all, they needed each other, so she could only keep smiling. After that, Olivia arranged for her uncle to meet Sam.
Olivia couldn't make it that day, so she didn't know how their conversation went. All in all, her mother never called her about it again, and Olivia finally had her peace and quiet.
On the contrary, Emma had been bothering her.
"Sam's cousin is getting married this week. Why don't you cwith Sam as well?" "Huh?" Olivia was caught off guard by the news. Emma wanted her to attend his cousin's wedding with him? That meant he was one of Sam's close relatives.
If they were to attend a wedding of such a close relative, wouldn't it be equivalent to publicly announcing they were a couple? But their relationship wasn't real.
So Olivia did not agree right away but waited for Sam's return to discuss the situation.
She really wanted to know his thoughts. Would he agree to bring her along? X
