So Olivia didn't realize the cushions were the reason Emma and Marcus didn't sit down.
Emma was the first to sit, and to her surprise, the cushions were very soft. Then she hurriedly told Marcus to sit and even glared at him.
Marcus rubbed his nose with embarrassment and finally sat down.
"Ollie, are you the one who decorated the place?"
"Yeah," said Olivia. She nodded. "I like this kind of style. It doesn't look dull, and it makes me happy."
Then, Olivia suddenly realized something. "Ah, right, it looks rather childish, doesn't it? I grew up with this kind of style, so I didn't think much of it."
"Not at all; it's adorable. It's normal for young girls like you to like this kind of design."
As Emma adored Olivia, she'd praise her every opportunity she got. Then she nudged Marcus.
Following her lead, Marcus also smiled genuinely. "Yes, it's normal for youngsters like you to like this kind of design."
After chatting for a while, Olivia excused herself and went to the bathroom to text Sam, telling him his parents had visited.
It was already past 20 minutes when Sam read the message.
At first, he thought it was some random text or question when he saw it was from Olivia. But after giving it a good read, his gaze changed.
Why hadn't his parents informed him before they went to his place?
It was unprecedented. However, they rarely visited, so it had never crossed his mind. Moreover, he didn't think his parents and Olivia would one day meet after she moved in.
His parents would definitely misunderstand while seeing a girl living in his place.
He and Olivia were a fake couple, and they had no feelings for each other at all. If his parents misunderstood, he'd have to spend a lot of time explaining himself.
How troublesome.
After giving it some thought, Sam decided to go home.
On the other hand, Mr. and Mrs. Sorrento had decided to stay for lunch because Olivia said she would prepare a feast.
While she was cooking, Emma also followed her in. Seeing that she was skilled, Emma's adoration for her affection for her shot through the roof.
What a precious daughter-in-law.
Emma genuinely adored Olivia, but soon, she thought of something and asked. "Say, Ollie, are you the one who cooks for Sam?"
Olivia nodded without a second thought, and Emma's face immediately changed. "Blasphemy! You may be his girlfriend, but you don't need to cook for him all the time. Honestly, how can he treat you like this?! How can he let you cook?! Don't worry, Ollie, I'll definitely scold him when he comes back."
Olivia was speechless.
She had merely simply replied to Emma but who would've thought she'd react so dramatically. Wasn't Sam her son? Shouldn't she be protective of him instead of her?
Moreover, their relationship was fake. It was their pact for her to cook and him to pretend to be her boyfriend so that she could avoid going on blind dates.
