He held Olivia's shoulder anxiously and pulled her to face him, and he wore a solemn expression as he stared at her.
"What's wrong with you these past couple of days? Why are you saying these? Can you tellwhat happened? Don't scare me, Ollie." Their faces were very close to each other. Olivia could see the panic and fear in his eyes and couldn't help but to feel happy when she saw his reaction.
She didn't expect him to react like he did then, and actually feel scared because of her. Was it out of responsibility, or was it because he was worried about their unborn child? After all, the child has the bloodline of the Sorrento family.
She chuckled as she thought about that, "Don't worry. I was just kidding." "That's not how you joke!" "Well, who says that I am joking? Anything could happen. My belly is so big now, so what if I have a difficult labor?" "Don't say that!" Sam covered her mouth with a stern expression. "Never say that again." Olivia blinked her eyes and poked his palm to indicate for him to let go.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSam only loosened his grip after he calmed down. Olivia smiled with a smug. "However, I have a serious question. If it is a difficult labor and you have to choose between the baby and me, who would you choose to save?" Would he save her or the child? Sam's pupils constricted and he gritted his teeth. "Olivia!" "Oh, you're angry!" Olivia pulled his hand as she giggled and grabbed his collar with another hand. "I'm just joking. Why are you so angry? It is a very realistic question. Just answer according to what is on your mind." "I won't let anything happen to either of you." Seeing that she was leaning on him, he then held her tightly in his arms.
"Be gentle." She complained in a pained expression and pushed him away. "You are squeezingtoo hard." He quickly loosened his grip. "I am sorry. I was too antsy just now. Are you all right?" "Calm down. You haven't toldyour answer yet." It seemed like she would not give up until she got an answer that day. He stared at her seriously and said genuinely, "You are my wife. No matter what happens, I will ensure your safety." "So, are you saying you will saveinstead of the baby? Sam, I went through so much and carried the child for ten months. All my effort is wasted if you don't save him. Don't you dare!" "What should I do then?" He stared at her with a deep gaze. "It doesn't matter. You will always cfirst." He said it so sincerely, and it moved Olivia. She leaned over and kissed the corner of his mouth.
"I was just making conversation. I am sure bothand the child will be safe and sound, but you must promisethat no matter what happens to me, you will save the child first. Also, you must remember everything that I said before, do you understand?" "Stop talking nonsense." Sam gently rubbed the back of her head. "Never say anything as such again. You and our child will both be safe." He did not notice the smile on her face that had already faded as he pulled her into his arms, and when her face was out of his sight. Then, her smile disappeared completely.
Ever since that night, Sam had been thinking about Olivia's questions and even told Emma about their conversation.
Emma's expression turned serious after hearing what he said.
"It could be because she's going into labor soon so her mood fluctuates more than usual. You must be sensitive to her feelings no matter what you say or do and prioritize her during these times. Let her know how important she is to you. I didn't expect Ollie to be so fragile, as she usually looks so chirpy. Sam, you have to take good care of her. If she asks you the squestion again next time, don't elaborate on anything else. Just tell her that no matter what happens, you will always ensure her safety comes first." "Mom, I got it." Tpassed one day after another. Olivia had been preparing various supplies for the soon-to-be-born child during those days. Everything was ready, and there were more than enough supplies prepared than what was needed.
However, she used her own credit card to pay for everything she had bought. She refused to use Sam's money even when Sam offered.
She argued, "This is my money. Why do I need to use your card when I buy things for my own child?" Sam thought to himself, "We're married. There's no need to draw such a clear line when it comes to our finances." He felt that his money should be spent on her. After the child was born, he would spend it on the two of them.
"My card belongs to you, so it's fine to use mine to pay." With her cell phone still in her hand, Olivia paused as she heard what he said. An unreadable emotion flashed in her eyes, followed by a faint smile.
"You are saying this now, but you might change your mind later. I think it's better you keep it to yourself." "Ollie." Sam held the credit card towards her and didn't take it back. He looked at her with his deep gaze. "You are acting weird these two days. Are you regretting it?" "Hmm? About what?" "You are regretting marryingand having a baby with me. That's why you refuse to spend my money, right?" As soon as he finished his sentence, Olivia took the card away from him. Then, she scolded, "What's wrong with you? You should be happy that I don't spend your money. Do you feel happier only if I spend your money?" "Yes, it's more than reasonable for you to do so." "Fine, I will max out your card limit tonight. Don't worry."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOlivia spoke with a serious expression, but Sam felt as she that it was totally fine. Instead, had been acting weird recently, those were what got Sam worried. Perhaps he might feel more relieved if she did max out his credit card.
Anyway, that was what Sam was thinking, but he wasn't sure if Olivia would indeed max out his credit card. Unfortunately, he would never find out about it because her water broke that night. Before entering the delivery room, Olivia asked Sam the squestion again.
"If I have a difficult labor, will you keepor the baby?" "You!" Sam recalled his mother's advice and spoke without any hesitation. He was even afraid that she would not believe him, so he held her hand and said in a lowvoice, "Relax and don't overthink. No matter what, you will always cfirst." She blinked, "Then, would you like to go into the delivery room with me?" He looked at the doctor next to him and asked, "Can I?"
The doctor nodded with a smile and said, "Of course. Now, there are many husbands who accompany they wives into the delivery room. Madam, are you sure you want your husband to accompany you?" "Yes, I do." Olivia nodded quickly. She wanted Sam to see the pain she had to endure for him.
Although she was willing, she didn't want him to take her for granted and think that it was an easy task to give birth to a child. Besides... She had already made sdecisions. X
