"Why have you done so when you haven't thought things through? Honestly, Ollie is such a good girl. How could you..."
Emma was livid. She gnashed her teeth and said, "Sam Sorrento, I'm warning you, if you don't shoulder this responsibility, don't tell people you're my son."
She was pressuring him, wasn't she?
Sam looked helplessly at Emma and said, "Mom, Ollie's gone."
"What?"
Hearing Olivia had run away, Emma was stumped for a moment before she pictured the whole scene. Then she stared at Sam with wide eyes and asked, "Gone? Why? Because of this? You didn't force her, did you?"
Force?
Despite being drunk, he was still conscious, so he knew what he was doing. However, he couldn't hold himself back from the temptation.
Although he didn't force her, Ollie was drunk, so it could be considered that he had taken advantage of her.
With that thought, Sam lowered his head and remained silent.
"How can you be so foolish?!"
Looking at Sam's lowered gaze, Emma immediately knew what he was thinking. She slapped Sam on the shoulder and said angrily, "How did I raise a son like you? Although it's good that you're willing to take the initiative, you still can't force her like that. She's such a good girl. Now that you've scared her away, where can you find another one like her?"
Sam pursed his lips and said, "Mom, I didn't exactly force her. It's just that..."
"What do you mean by you didn't exactly force her? Ollie was drunk last night. You used that to your advantage, didn't you? Now that she had sobered up, she ran away in anger, yet you're in the mood to eat breakfast."
Sam explained helplessly, "I didn't come down for breakfast. I..."
"Go and bring Ollie back now. How do you still have the mood to sit here? You brat."
Emma did not intend to listen to him but beat him continuously, and Sam could only get up and said, "Mom, stop hitting me. I'm not here for breakfast. I just came to talk to you." "What is there to say? Hurry up and bring Ollie back!"
Sam finally moved, and Emma sat back down angrily. It was only after that that she realized everyone was looking at her.
Shoot! She had lashed out without thinking. She wondered if everyone had heard what she said.
Hence she could only smile and said, "My son and his girlfriend quarreled, so I told him to bring her back. I hope I didn't disturb everyone."
As Marcus drank like a fish, he was still suffering from a hangover. He had wanted to sleep in, but Emma forced him to come down for breakfast. However, he wasn't in the mood for breakfast, so he just sat there in a daze.
When he regained some of his consciousness, he saw his wife hitting his son. Even when Sam had run off, he still hadn't a clue as to what happened.
Olivia was stupefied after she reached Sam's place and opened the door.
She still remembered how bare the place was when she first came. However, she had felt more at home after she moved in.
Lately, she even had the delusion that this was where she belonged.
It was only now that she realized this was all nothing but a facade, her wishful thinking.
As soon as she moved her belongings away, this place would no longer have anything to do with her.
