Olivia thought Sam would cback in. He had the key, didn't he? But to her surprise, it didn't take long for outside to fall silent. There was still nothing even after ten minutes. Feeling peculiar, she wondered if the fella was that obedient and actually slept outside? A couple of minutes later, Olivia sneakily opened the door and took a peek. There was no sign of Sam, so she tiptoed out of the room to find Sam sleeping on the sofa.
He seemed to be worn out; he was fast asleep with his arms crossed and the quilt covering half of his body. Seeing him like this, Olivia suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. What she had just given him was a thin quilt, but it was currently winter. She had thought he would protest, but to her dismay, he fell asleep as soon as he laid down.
Olivia squatted down beside Sam and stared at his eyes in silence.
Was he worn out from working overtrecently? Was it the reason he was so sleepy to the point he didn't want to think about anything? Perhaps it was because that woman's wedding was approaching, so he deliberately did so to numb himself. That way, he could fall asleep immediately and not think about anything else.

She slowly extended her hand, wanting to touch Sam's eyebrows. To her dismay, Sam opened his eyes as soon as her finger touched him. "What are you planning to do again?" His sudden movement startled Olivia, and she froze in place. "Um, weren't you asleep?" Sam looked to be wide awake. It was as if he was just pretending to be asleep.
"If you keep doing this, neither of us will be sleeping tonight." Hearing that, Olivia twitched her lips. "It's my fault then? I already told you I didn't kick you on purpose. I was dreaming. It was an accident." "What about now?" Sam asked, slowly reaching out to grab her finger, "What are you trying to do?" Although he was covered with a thin quilt, the temperature of his body was still high. However, despite struggling, Olivia's hand was a little cold.
Olivia glanced at the finger in his hand as she pursed her lips, then said, "I felt sorry for you after I kicked you out. What else can I do? Do you think I'd actually harm you? That never crossed his mind. However, Olivia had always been mischievous, and she had bundles of tricks up her sleeve, so he wouldn't know what she'd do to him next. "You're feeling sorry for me? So you're lettinggo back to my room?" "Are you seriously able to fall asleep?" "I'm very sleepy." "Sleepy? You call this sleepy? You're wide awake every tyou look at me. I bet you're thinking of her while you pretend to be asleep." Actually, if it weren't for Olivia, Sam would have truly forgotten about it. Her wedding was the next day, and he was occupied with work lately. He had liked her, but many things couldn't be changed even if he was sad.
Moreover, he had liked her for years. It wasn't a feeling he could just get rid of in a snap.
He looked at her helplessly and said, "Since you know, why would you bring it up?" She knew it! Olivia sneered as he admitted it.
"You're just remindingby mentioning this." "Excuse you! Even if I'm reminding you, I'm telling you to forget about her. She's getting married tomorrow; she'll be someone else's wife then. Did I say you should continue to have her in your heart?" Olivia's anger grew with her words. She was so agitated that she sat down on the floor.
"Forget it. Seems like I won't be sleeping tonight." Seeing her on the floor, Sam couldn't sleep anymore either. He sat up and said, "Get up." Olivia sat still.
"It is freezing. You will catch a cold if you sit on the floor." "So be it. You don't care aboutanyway." "Says who?" "Either way, you don't... Ah!" Before she could even finish her words, Sam picked her up and put her on the sofa. The thin quilt was draped over her as Sam sat down beside her. "Let's talk." "What's there to talk about?" Olivia snuggled up in the quilt. Although her tone was filled with disdain, her body subliminally leaned to his side. "Aren't you cold? We can share the quilt." Hearing that, Sam looked at her for a while before he got under the quilt too, sharing it with her.
Sam was quite warm, so it didn't take long for the quilt to be cozy. Olivia leaned against his shoulder and said, "What do you want to talk about? That woman in your heart?" "I was the one who suggested for us to try out our relationship, wasn't it?" Hearing that, Olivia's heart skipped a beat; she looked at him warily. Could it be that he was fed up with her nonsense? Was he just saying his opinion, or was he going to break up with her? She did not say anything but just stared at him.

boyfriend, but there have been a lot of things I have to deal with in the company recently, so I may have neglected you. As for my thoughts, I won't lie to you, nor will I be able to. I'm sure you can readlike an open book. If you're willing, can shoulder the responsibility forever. If you feel that it's hard to be with me, then..."
"What are you trying to say?" Before he could finish his words, Olivia was already moping. "We'd just started dating. Nust made a little fuss, and you already want to break up with me?" Hearing that, Sam frowned and said, "I didn't say that." "No? Then what were you trying to in say just now Why does it sound like you want to break up with me?" "I don't want to break up with you. just thought if you find it hard to be with me, I don't want to see you suffer either." Olivia refuted him, "If this is what you're thinking, shouldn't you be feeling guilty and then treatbetter? Are you even listening to your bullsh*t?" Enlightened, Sam thought she was right.
Her way of handling it was much better, so he nodded solemnly and said, "In that case, I'll do as you say." Olivia felt much better seeing how serious he looked. "Good that you know." Sure enough, men had to be taught.
If not, he'd only do things his way. Ever since he becher boyfriend, she had lectured him now and then.
n There was no way she'd let him go that easily. Otherwise, it would only benefit other women. She was not that stupid.
"It's settled then? Can we go back to bed now?" X
