Initially, Olivia had planned to use Sam as her pretend partner so that she could get her mother off her back about asking her to go on blind dates and leave her alone.
However, who knew that things would turn out like this?
When Sam got off work, he brought Olivia some snacks like he did everyday. He wanted desperately to patch things up with her, so whatever he knew she liked, he would get it for her.
It would be a necklace one day, a bracelet or a pair of earrings every other day. At that moment, her closet was full of gifts from him. At this rate, her jewelry box would be filled to the brim soon.
"Gifts and snacks."
He handed her a small box. She sat up from the sofa and raised her hand lazily to take it, "What did you buy for me today?"
"Have a look."
She opened it and found that he had actually bought her a ring. It looked very unique and expensive.
She wasn't in a hurry to put it on her hand. Instead, she looked at him and asked teasingly, "Do you want to propose to me?"
Upon hearing that, he was slightly stunned. He took off his coat and gave her a puzzled look.
"Why are you giving me a ring if you're not proposing to me?" Olivia played with the ring in her hand. It was shining under the light. Her smile became brighter, "How long have we been dating? Sam, why are you so anxious to propose to me?"
"I..."
"Don't say anything!" She raised her hand and interrupted him, "I know what you want to say. You are afraid that I will reject you, right?"
He was a little speechless. In fact, he really didn't think much when he bought the ring. The shop assistant had introduced it to him. Although it was expensive, he didn't think much and proceeded to buy it for Olivia.
He bought her the ring because he had bought other jewelry for her in the past. He didn't want to repeat his gifts as it might upset her.
He didn't expect that Olivia would actually misunderstand him.
What should he say? Should he deny it?
If he denied it, given this girl's quick- witted character, she would definitely ask him again when the time came. Did he not even think of marrying her at all?
If he didn't deny, then...
Having been with her for a long time, he had been tricked by her so much that he was not as straightforward as he used to be. Thus, after thinking about it for a long time, he felt that it was better to say nothing.
Seeing that he did not speak, Olivia was not satisfied. She thought that he would retort, but why was he quiet?
She was unhappy and decided to make things difficult for him.
"Why don't you speak? You're not admitting it, are you? Who did you buy this ring for?"
Sam thought she would be satisfied and put on the ring, but she actually asked him again. He hooked his coat up on the wall and walked towards her. Then, he took the ring from her.
Her expression changed slightly, "You can't bear to give it to me? Fine, then take it back..."
Before she could finish her words, she felt something cold on her finger. It turned out that Sam had taken the initiative to put the ring on her hand.
