Believe him? Olivia wiped the corner of her mouth. Her lip was bleeding from the violent kiss. There was no love in the kiss at all.
At that moment, she was full of anger and couldn't feel anything else.
She sneered, "I won't believe you, and I don't want to listen to what you say either." People who were angry often spoke without thinking.
"Do you not want to listen to me?" Sam looked at her, feeling like he was mocking himself. "So, it doesn't matter what I do now, because you would never believe me. Do you wantto tear my heart open for you to look at it?" She didn't like what he said at the end. She stared at him incredulously, as if she was looking at a lunatic. Then, she decided to ignore him.
"Is that what you want?" He grabbed her hand and insisted on an answer.
She tried to shake his hand off, but he held it tighter and asked her, "Do you? Do you wantto cut my heart open?" "Sam, how childish could you be? Letgo!" "So what if I'm childish? You want to abandonand our child anyway. I have to do everything I can to try to save our relationship. If not, I will never forgive myself." Then, he actually took her to the kitchen.
He couldn't think of a self-inflicted injury trick. Instead, he cup with a dangerous plan. Regardless if it was a rash move, he wanted to try it, even if it might seem stupid. When Olivia asked if he would feel regret if something were to happen to her that day, he wanted to tell her yes.
He regretted it very much. He knew he couldn't lose Ollie.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Sam, what are you doing? Letgo, letgo!" She had a bad intuition as she was being pulled into the kitchen.
He said to cut his heart open. He couldn't be serious, could he? If that was indeed what he was going to do, she really wished she could kill him. She gathered her courage and said angrily, "If you dare to do such a childish act, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life." "What should I do?" He looked at her with lost eyes and murmured, "You no longer want to stay in the relationship no matter what I do, and I can't live without you. I might as well cut my heart open for you." He then actually went ahead and opened the cabwith a disappointed and pained expression. He continued, "No matter what you see in the end, perhaps you will start believingafter I do it." She saw him opening the caband almost reaching for the knife. Her face turned pale with fear and said while she grasped his hand forcefully, "Stop. Stop right there." He continued to reach towards the knife as if he did not hear what she said.
When he finally held the knife in his hand, Olivia's face was as pale as paper. She kept her calm and said, "Sam, I promise that whatever you try to do, I will do the sas you did. Do you think that you are the only one who is cruel?" His hand stopped moving upon hearing her words.
It was effective.
"You want to cut your heart open, right? Con, cut my heart open first and see what it looks like. Otherwise, I will have to do it myself after you're done." Then, she moved forward to take the knife from him. He panicked when he saw her moving towards him and put the knife back to its holder immediately.
"Givethe knife!" She was as fierce as a tigress. She tried to snatch the knife from his hand.
He thought he could threaten her with the trick earlier, as he was planning to ask her to reconsider her decision of leaving by doing that. He never had the intention to kill himself.
When he saw the aggressive expression on her, he immediately realized he was being too impulsive with his actions.
He slammed the cabshut and then held her tightly in his arms.
"I'm sorry. This is all my fault. I shouldn't have thought of such a lousy way to make you stay, but Ollie, tellwhat you wantto do so that you can forgive me. I know it was my fault for what I did, but I swear that I truly do not think about her anymore." "You're the only one I think about now." Olivia might have believed him if he had said it earlier. However, right then, his words sounded like words of desperation just to make her stay.
She was still extremely emotional then, and could only take deep & breaths to control her temper. After a few deep breaths, she managed to slightly calm herself down and looked up at him.
"You said that I'm the only one in your heart now." He looked at her seriously and even raised his hand. "I swear." Later, he put down his hands and held her cheeks slowly. "I used to like her, but it was all in the past. I saw she had an injury and was mentally unstable that day. I simply sent her to the hospital as a friend. I didn't do it out of love, nor did think that she was more important than you. If something were to happen to you that day, it would hurtmore than death itself. Ollie, I've long fallen in love with you. Have a little confidence in yourself, okay?" In the end, his tone was almost begging, utterly humble.
They were so close that Olivia could see her own reflection in his eyes.
She suddenly remembered a quote.
If a person was always humble when courting others, it meant that they would always be at a disadvantage. Sam's tone then suddenly reminded her of their past.
Although she was the person who had taken the initiative, she had never lowered herself in front of him.
However, right then, he seemed as if he had positioned himself so lowly in front of her.
What was that supposed to mean? Her mind was suddenly in a mess. She pushed his hand away and turned her back to him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Letthink about it. I don't want to discuss this today." "Okay." Sam didn't want to provoke her anymore so he just followed her wishes obediently.
After she returned to her room, Sam sat alone in the living room. Hism cheek was throbbing with dull pain from her slapping as the incident earlier replayed in his head. Undeniably, he had made a stupid mistake that day.
How could he do such a thing? Based on Ollie's character, she probably hated his behavior.
He smiled bitterly at the thought. Then, he gently caressed his own cheek.
As he thought of that, he texted Maddox.
"Young Master Yardley, your trick was useless, and I was slapped in the face."
His wife was by his side when he received the text message. He took a glance to see it was Sam who sent the text message and placed it back into his pocket without even reading it. When his wife went to the bathroom, he took his cell phone out and replied pridefully.
"It must be because you didn't cause a severe injury to yourself. How could she slap you if you were on the verge of death?" As he read the text message, he suddenly felt inspired.
