Since Olivia had said so, Emma knew that it would be disrespectful if she continued to probe further.
After all, if Ollie had not figured out her own thoughts, it could make things worse if she kept on insisting for Ollie to tell her about it.
Thus, Emma just nodded and patted Olivia on the shoulder gently. "Okay, okay. I will stop asking then, but if you really can't hold back your anger, you may just throw tantrums at him. You may do whatever you want, be it to hit him or scold him. Just make sure you don't hold it in your heart. It's not good to keep your anger to yourself." "Okay." Sam waited at the door patiently after he was thrown out. He did not leave that spot, and he did not attempt to eavesdrop on their conversation either.
When Emma opened the door and cout from the room later on, he immediately went up to her. "Mom, how is Ollie?" Looking at her son's anxious expression, Emma snorted coldly. She ignored him and headed towards the living room.
He saw her reaction and decided to approach Ollie himself. As he was about to push the door open, Emma turned around and shouted as soon as he held the door handle, "You, stop." "Mom?" "Followto the living room. Ollie needs to rest. Are you going in to disturb her again?" He withdrew his hand with a defeated expression and followed Emma to the living room.
"Is Ollie not feeling well? She's nearing her due date. Should we admit her to the hospital?" "What for? She's fine. Why do you want to send her to the hospital when she is healthy and well? What's wrong with you?" Sam was stunned by the sudden and severe scolding, and fell speechless.

Emma scolded loudly, "She's pregnant, and she's going through so much. Can't you see her big belly? She can get angry whenever she wants to. Why does she need a reason? Sam oh Sam, you are my only son. I was the person who raised you and I know of all your habits and attitude. I will not spare you if you bully Ollie or make her run away!" Sam was baffled by his mother's scolding.
He had been treating her well ever since they started dating. He had not even spoken to her any louder than he should, let alone bullied her.
"Mom, I would never bully her." "You may not have bullied her, but what if you unintentionally made her angry?" He immediately frowned as he heard that. "Did Ollie tell you something? Is she angry with me? What did I do wrong?" "Slow down." Emma snorted, "Ollie just had a nightmare. What I told you was just a warning as your mother. Treat Ollie well. It's your blessing that she is willing to marry you. You will suffer in the future if you don't cherish her." "I see. You are just givingadvice. You scared me. I thought I had done something wrong." Sam covered his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Emma felt like choking him as she watched his response! He didn't get a single hint after all she had told him! She was furious! "Brat, tellhonestly, what did you do after the incident at the supermarket that day?" "What about the supermarket?" Sam seemed confused as she brought that up. "I thought that's already in the past. Mom, why did you bring it up again?" "In the past?" Emma sneered. "How naive you are! You left Ollie alone in the supermarket and didn't make it up to her after that, and you wish that it will be over? How dare you? Are you stupid?" The corners of Sam's mouth twitched. "Mom." "Ollie is going to deliver soon. Don't mess things up. Do something to cheer her up right now. I won't let you off the hook if anything were to happen to her!" Although Sam was still confused of what was going on, he finally got the message listening to Emma. He was indeed at fault for the incident at the supermarket that day, and he should never have left Ollie alone.
She claimed that she was fine and it was over, and he somehow believed her.
He never thought about making up to her for it. As Emma had reminded him then, Sam felt that he indeed should do something forthat.
Thus, the next day, he went to buy a longevity lock for his unborn child and a pair of newly launched branded earrings for Ollie. He passed it to Ollie cautiously, as if he was trying to impress her.
Olivia had not been in a good mood since the day before, so as Sam gave her the gift he had bought, she looked expressionless.
"I bought it for you and our child. Do you want to have a look?" Olivia took the box from Sam and opened it.
She had no reaction to the gift that was bought for her. However, her eyes flickered when she saw the longevity lock that was bought for their child.
Her fair fingertips gently caressed the patterns on the longevity lock in the box. She was cautious, as if she treasured it a lot and was afraid of damaging it. Then, she picked the longevity lock out of the box to have a closer look.
"Do you like it?" Sam asked expectantly.
"I do." Olivia held the longevity lock and nodded gently. "I like it very much. Thank you." The smile on Sam's lips faded as he heard her thank him. Unsure of the reason, but he just felt that Ollie was down. According to Emma, it was normal for a pregnant woman fo emotional, and he should be more sensitive about her feelings.
That was especially so recently.

"What happened to you in the past couple of days?" Olivia raised his head and looked at him with a faint smile.
"Sam." "What's that?" "Do you think we are having a boy or a girl?"
He was stunned and took a while to respond. He cuss about the expecting her to helgender of their child. He replied after a moment," doesn't matter. I love them regardless of their gender as dong as you are the mother of my child." Those words were so touching.
The expression on Olivia softened, and her voice beceven gentler.
"If she's a girl, we can call her Rita. If he's a boy, we will nhim Virgil. What do you think?" "You have even thought about their names!" "Well, It has been on my mind for the past few days." Olivia nodded and said, "I just casually thought about it, and I quite like these two names. What do you think?" He was not too concerned about their names and just nodded in agreement.
"As long as you like it." She smiled and lowered her head to look at the longevity lock in her hand. She then said, "One more
thing. Don't let the child attend kindergarten too early. Each teacher have to look after too many children there in the kindergarten. The teachers might not be able to pay adequate attention to our child if he's there. Let's send him there when he is older." Sam felt strange at what she said but he decided to let it go and nodded instead. He replied, "Okay." "Well, this is our only child. You must treat him well. You cannot beat or scold him, do you understand?" He replied, "Okay."
Olivia smiled and said, "It's all right if you want to find a stepmother for the baby in the future, but you must make sure that she treats the child well. Otherwise..." He frowned deeply. Before she could finish her words, he interrupted her hurriedly, "Ollie, what nonsense are you talking about?" X
