Emma was furious. When Brenda told Emma about Ollie's intention of leaving, Emma panicked.
That safternoon, she cup with a solution with Brenda.
In the end, the two of them thought of a compromise, which was to use the child to stimulate her motherly love.
At that time, Brenda said first, "I guess Ollie must be afraid that she would get attached to her child the more she interacts with him, and wouldn't bring herself to leave him behind, and that's why she doesn't want to carry her child lately." Emma said immediately, "Yes. After all, she carried the baby for ten months. That must be it. Let's play along and make her spend more twith the child on her own." "How are we going to do that? She is too stubborn. I am afraid that the more she's being told to, the more she will resist it." "We don't have to say a thing." "Don't we? Then how are we going to do it?" They then cup with the idea for that night. Sam was dragged into the room the moment he arrived home, and the three of them waited patiently.
He wasn't sure how long he had been waiting in the room. It certainly felt like forever. On the other hand, Emma and Brenda appeared calm.
Sam could not sit still at all.
He had no clue what was going on, which made him even more frightened and was at unease.
When Emma scolded him, he asked in confusion, "Mom, what happened? Why are we doing this?" "Why don't you ask yourself? What have you been doing to Ollie?" Emma stretched out her arm to grab something to throw towards Sam out of rage, as if he wasn't her own son. Brenda was on the side, reached out to stop her.
"Emma, calm down. Sam had tried his best." "If he'd tried his best, this wouldn't have happened. Ollie is almost leaving because of you, yet you are still unaware of what had happened. Can't you think for yourself? You might as well be dead if you can't even take care your wife and child!" Emma was really raging because she liked Ollie very much, especially that she had given her a grandchild then. She was very satisfied with Ollie as her daughter-in-law and felt that Ollie brought good luck to the family. She never had expected that Sam would do something that would cause her to want to leave.

"What did you say?" Was she... going to run away? Did Ollie want to leave him? The unease he had been feeling ever since the day she gave birth had finally ctrue, and that feeling was amplified by Emma's words then.
He stood still in a daze. Not a word was heard while Emma continue to scold him.
Brenda stopped Emma as perhaps she saw how pitiful Sam looked. "All right, there's no point in blaming him now. He feels bad about it too." Then, she got up and walked towards Sam. She asked softly, "To be frank, both of us don't have a deep understanding of what had happened between the two of you. We can't do anything even if we want to help. It's really up to you to resolve this." After knowing Olivia's intention of leaving, Sam knew it was up to himself to talk her out of it.
Although he had provided his explanation, it appeared that Ollie was still very bothered by the incident that had happened that day.
"What should I do?" He thought to himself.
He had already explained himself, yet she still insisted on leaving. What else could he do? He was suddenly at a loss of what to do. He wasn't sure what else he could do to save their marriage.
On the other side, Olivia sat in the room with the baby in her arms, coaxing him gently. Perhaps the child could sense that he was being carried by his own mother. Therefore, the baby stopped crying and stared at her quietly once she held him.
Ollie felt as if her heart was about to shatter as she looked at his eyes. He was so tiny. When she held him in her arms, he felt soft and warm. It was lovely and it was getting harder for her to let him go. However, it was as if she was struck by a sudden thought. She paused, then got up and put the baby back in the crib.
When she turned around to leave, the child cried loudly again, as if he could feel what Olivia was feeling. Olivia strode away determinedly away from the crib, and to leave the room.
Suddenly, she stopped as she saw a figure at the door.
"He is crying so loudly. Can you bear to leave him like that?" Sam? She was a little surprised to see him. She wondered how long he had been standing there.
She avoided his question and said, "I am not sure how to comfort him. I'll get Mom to look after him." She then tried to rush out in a hurry after saying that. When she walked past him, he held her arm and stopped her. Then, he asked her.
"Do you really not know how to, or is it because you don't want to?" She stopped and remained quiet for a long time. The baby continued to cry, but neither of them moved.
After a moment, she broke free from his grasp and said coldly, "Why bother asking again when you already have the answer?" Sam thought she would deny. He wasn't expecting her to confess truthfully.
Since she had made it clear, it was no longer necessary to hide her feelings.
He turned to face her.
"Why? Is it just because I helped Vera and you couldn't let go of it? Is that why you want to leaveand refuse to even look at our child?" It sounded like he was raising his voice at her.
"Yes, I just couldn't let go of it. So what? Do you think I'm unreasonable now? That's exactly what I am. I'm sensitive and hypocritical. Are you satisfied with my answer? He frowned as his intention was not to quarrel with her. He cto make up to Ollie.
However, he felt a chill in his heart when he walked in and noticed how determined she was to leave. In a fit of panic, he raised his voice at her.

Obviously, Olivia wasn't the type who would back out easily. The way Sam raised his voice had only made Ollie even more stubborn. She confronted him head-on.
"Ollie, don't do this." He immediately softened his voice and whispered, "The child is still crying. Let's calm the child first then we can talk again, okay?" She wanted to refuse, but she could not bear to listen to her child's continuous cry. She closed her eyes and kept quiet.
Sam thought that she agreed to his suggestion with her silence. He walked over and picked the child up from the crib.
Perhaps the child was not comfortable in his arms, he continued to cry even after he was picked up.
The loud cry gave Olivia a headache and she felt guilty. So she asked him sternly, "Do you know how to carry him? Why is he still crying?" Sam could only try to coax him gently in a futile attempt. Eventually, Olivia could no longer stand it and walked over to him. She instructed fiercely, "Pass him to me." He felt wronged as he heard her harsh tone, but he passed the child to her obediently.
It was like a magic trick. The baby stopped crying immediately when Olivia cradled him in her arms.
Sam was surprised. At the stime, he didn't waste the opportunity and said quickly, "Our child likes you, and he couldn't part with you." His words pierced through Olivia's heart.
The child liked her and couldn't live without her.
Olivia's hands trembled as she carried her child, and her eyes turned red.
"Let's just talk like this, all right?" Sam walked forward and held the two of them in his arms. He pressed his head against hers and spoke in a deep voice. X
