"Of course. I know my daughter well. Besides, I won't lie to you." With the assurance from his mother-in-law, Sam rose from his gloominess and immediately went and ate his food and rested.
Probably because Sam had a newfound hope, he becmore energetic and worked more efficiently at all the things he did after that. He even took care of the child well, from making milk for the child when he was hungry to changing diapers.
He had turned from a young man who had no experience in life to a married man who was able to be in charge of his family.
During the waiting period, Sam maintained a clean and responsible person. He would always return hto care for the child after work each day.
There was a woman in the company who wanted to get close to him, seeing that he was on his own.
She would take the initiative to say to him, "I don't mind if you've been married before, or have a kid. I'm willing to treat your child as my own." That was truly sincere.
Sam replied solemnly, "I'm sorry but I mind it a lot. I've been waiting for my wife to return." The woman got a little pale and spoke lightly, "She has already left and I'm afraid she won't cback again. Am I right? How long more are you going to wait?" Sam smiled and said, "I will wait for her no matter how long it takes. In fact, I will wait for her for the rest of my life. There won't be any other woman." He was determined yet gentle with his words.

However, she knew that she couldn't force him, so she could only say to Sam, "Well, good luck. I hope your wife return soon." Hearing the woman's words, Sam's expression relaxed slightly. He raised his head and glanced at her.
"Thank you. I wish that you will find your happiness soon." Seeing that he was finally looking at her, the woman's eyes turned red. Then, she reached out and tucked her hair behind her ear, "I don't think I can. Actually, I am not that interested in you either. I used to have a boyfriend but because of my infertility, we broke up." She paused for a moment before continuing slowly, "I can't have children for the rest of my life, which is why I said that I am willing to accept your child as my own." Sam was stunned. He did not expect that she would be infertile. Sam felt sorry for her, and as she had given him her blessing earlier, he tried to comfort her.
"It doesn't matter. In the future, you will surely find someone who is willing to accept you." "Thank you." After that, Sam went back hto take care of the child as usual. He would also write a diary and then turn on the computer to follow the works uploaded by Ollie recently. It had bechis daily routine.
Even though Olivia had left, she continued to update her work everyday. Sam would go through her updates each day carefully, reading through every word and wondered if she was feeling all right that day. Overtime, it beca habit.
Also, reading Olivia's daily updates brought a sense of comfort to Sam. He felt that he was somewhat connected to her and she was not too far away from him. He felt that he could see her and feel her everyday.
Later, Minerva had called Sam to follow up with his situation. When Minerva learned that Ollie had left, she sighed gently and comforted Sam.
In the matter, Vera had been feeling the guiltiest.
After the incident, she was too embarrassed to even send a text message to Olivia. She only left a word of apology and then didn't contact her anymore.
Every tOllie opened her velmessages and saw the apology Vera sent her being the last message in their chat, she would have the urge to reply, but not knowing what to say to her. Therefore, she could only continue to scroll downwards and read the messages from people who cared about her during that time.
There were messages from Tiana, her editor. There were also sfrom her mother, her mother-in-law, Emma, her father, and sother friends and relatives who were asking her of what had happened. She did not reply to a single message, nor did she post anything on her social media. She just updated her work on teveryday, and then read the comments and replies of her readers. She had been getting her salary from writing, and lived her life on her own.
She lived like that for almost half a year and soon got used to the loneliness. However, as tpassed, Olivia also started to not want to live alone lately.
She missed her child very much and it was a long tago since she last saw him. It had been half a year, was he able to walk and talk? If he saw her, would he recognize her and would he be able to call her mom? Her longing to see the child grew like vines, and they grew rapidly and intertwined within her heart. She wanted to return hto see her child so badly.
On the sday itself, Olivia packed up her belongings and then bought a ticket to go back home.
She wanted to return and take a peek at her child in secret, and she still did not want to see Sam.
Returning to the city again, she did not expect that half a year had already passed. After getting off the plane, she felt a sense of familiarity.
Although she had been gone for half a year, she did not feel out of place. Perhaps because it was her homeland and she grew up there. She began to walk and looked around.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe strolled slowly as she took in the sceneries in front of her. Even though she had left for half a year, everything still looked familiar and friendly to her. When she was abroad, she was stuck in the tinapartment surrounded by high walls all-around. She had lived there for half a year, and everyday, when she woke up in her small bedroom, she would feel confused and awkward. She still can't get used to living in a foreign country.
However, it was different here.
There was an elderly lady on Olivia's flight who was probably too bored, and she chatted with Olivia om throughout the flight. After they got off the plane, they actually even got on the sbus. As soon as she saw Olivia, she cover to chat with her warmly. "Young lady, I didn't expect to meet you again. Are you going home?" Olivia paused for a moment and nodded.
"That's right." Actually, she didn't plan to go hat all. She just wanted to take a peek at her son, so she hesitated for a long tbefore nodding.
The lady didn't notice Olivia's pause and hesitation, and continued to chat enthusiastically, "You look so young. Did you graduate from a university abroad?" Hearing that, Olivia shook her head awkwardly, "No, I just went abroad for vacation." "Oh, I see. Are you married?" The more Olivia listened, the more she felt that something was wrong. Why was the lady being so nosy and asked her if she was married? Was she trying to match Olivia with someone? As expected, without waiting for her reply, the lady smiled while squinting her eyes and said, "You see, it's fate for us to meet on this bus too. My son doesn't have a girlfriend yet. Do you want to get acquainted with him? I felt that you were very approachable when we were on the plane."
Hearing that, Olivia could only smile bitterly. She was not as approachable as the elderly lady said she was Instead the elderly lady was the one who was approachable. Olivia just felt that it would be impolite if Olivia ignored her. Yet, the elderly lady took her kindness the wrong way and even wanted to introduce her son to Olivia.
It was embarrassing. Olivia smiled and said softly, "I'm sorry, madam. I can't meet your son I already have a Sony! ve child." Upon hearing that, the lady was quite surprised, "Do you have a child?" "Yes, I cback this tto see my child." х
