Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Olivia felt tears welling up in her eyes, and since she didn't like being tic, she frantically turned around to avoid Sam's gaze.

As she withdrew her hand, she teased him, "What are you talking about? I'm an adult, so how could anything happen to me? Also, how is it any of your business?" Although her movements were swift, he noticed the redness in the rim of her eyes when she turned around. At first, he thought he was mistaken, so he leaned forward to check her out. "What's wrong?" "Nothing." To avoid him, she reached her hand out to stop him from moving forward, "Don't look at me." Her voice seemed choked with sobs, and he frowned deeply. He grasped her wrist and turned her around to face him.

She hadn't expected him to do such a thing, and their eyes met. After a moment's pause, she instantly lowered her head.

"Are you crying?" "No." Her voice was muffled, "I was asleep, so I'm tired. Why would I be crying?" Although Sam hadn't been with Olivia for long, he knew her rather well.

He knew what kind of person she was. If she was to burst into tears from watching a show, she would wail, cry in front of others, and wouldn't mind others seeing her doing so. If she was in low spirits, she would remain silent as she wouldn't want anyone to notice it.

Presently, he realized that she was truly upset.

"What's going on?" "Nothing." Olivia shook her head. She still hadn't figured out how to break the news to Sam, and she didn't know if Emma had told him.

"Ollie," he sounded helpless. He sighed before continuing, "Do you think I will believe you when you tellnothing has happened with how you currently look?" That was right. She initially did not want to express her sorrows in front of him, but she couldn't help it after looking at his face and eyes.

What was she doing? How could she not control her feelings? He had seen through her, so there was no point in denying it.

She admitted it right away, "Yes, you're right. I'm upset." "What's wrong?" She observed his expression and realized that he had no idea what was going on.

"Ollie?" "It's nothing." She shook her head and said, "I thought of something sad, but I don't feel like telling you about it for now." The last sentence rendered him speechless, but he had to go along with her, pulling her into his embrace.

"Does it have something to do with me?" "Yes," she admitted without any hesitation.

"Then you should tellabout it. Don't you know that whoever hung the bell on the tiger's neck must untie it?" Whoever hung the bell on the tiger's neck must untie it? She fell silent upon hearing that.

In fact, Emma had called Olivia before Sam had gotten off work. Emma knew that Olivia was aware of the fortune-telling, so she was direct in expressing her own opinions about the matter.

"Ollie, your mom toldabout what happened, and I know that it's inappropriate for us to seek advice from the fortune-teller behind your back, but you have to know that did it for the both of you, and we never hoped for a bad outcome. The results left us displeased as well, and your mother and I couldn't sleep a wink last night. I didn't want to tell you, but after I thought about it, I think it's best if the final decision is left to you." "Aunty?" "Sam is a man, and Marcus and I no longer controlled him since he was young, and we left him to do whatever he wanted to. The plane incident left him with a scar on his face. Although he's no longer as good- looking, he's alive, so we don't have any high expecs for him, and all we want is for him to be happy. It's great if he can find a girl he loves and settle down with her for the rest of his life. Since Sam chose you, Marcus and I won't interfere." Olivia seemed to have understood what Emma was trying to imply.

"Aunty, you're lettingdecide?" "That's right." Emma sighed softly before she added, "Marcus and I both like you very much, and we will be overjoyed if you becpart of our family. If not, we're still your family, and you can cto us if you need any help." Olivia's eyes were brimming with tears as she had the sudden urge to cry, but she couldn't manage to utter even a single word.

"Aunty..." "Don't cry, Ollie. I'm not telling you all of this to force you to make a vene

decision. I feel that everything's hard on you. Women's youth is short.

Don't end up choosing the wrong. e Choosing person. I'm a woman, so I understand your mom's point of view, and I don't blher either. Your mom was very conflicted before she told you about it." Olivia remained silent as she bit her lower lip.

"There's no rush. I have time, and I won't tell Sam about this as it's up to m you. If you think it's not going to work, I'll be the villain that breaks you and him up. If you want this, we'll pretend as if nothing happened and everything will be fine."

After she hung up, Olivia burst into tears for a long tbefore she m gathered herself and washed her face to calm herself down. After she collected herself, Sam was almost home. Right then, as he wanted to know what had happened, Olivia thought of what Emma had told her when she met his gaze.

Sam was Emma's son. Although their relationship started off fake, Olivia felt that he had done quite a lot for her up to that point.

She wasn't talking about money or materialistic items, but she was referring to his efforts. He had changed for her, and he had taken her feelings into account.

Hence, would it be fair to him if she was to hide everything from him? He was a human being, made of flesh and blood. He had the right to know the truth.

She shouldn't be the only one making decisions right then.

At the thought of that, she pursed her lips before fixing her gaze on him.

"I have something to tell you." He noticed that Olivia had becserious in an instant, so he felt all nervous as well, "What is it?"
