Sam frowned and mulled over it for a long time before saying, "It might be possible? Maybe I was swapped at birth and I'm not really her biological son."
At his words, Olivia rolled over and looked him in the eye. She said with a smile, "I'm just pulling your leg. Don't tell me you're taking it seriously."
"I'm joking too."
"You're lying. You're not even smiling. You make jokes while looking dead serious, what a cold man!" She prodded his chest, and he used that opening to grab her hand.
Then, she was pulled into his embrace. He rested his chin on her head and said, "Sleep earlier. We still have a lot to do after this."
He was right. One would assume that the day of the wedding would be the busiest day, but Olivia soon found out after that day that there were even more matters to attend to.
After all, they still had to prepare a new matrimonial home.
Emma had chosen the house ahead of them. Olivia went to check it out. The atmosphere was cozy and comfortable. However, they hadn't bought any furniture yet.
With that, not only was Olivia occupied with wedding preparations, she was also busy decking the house out with furniture. She and Sam went to buy a sofa, bed, dining table, and some other items.
Recently, Olivia had seen a lot of unique ornaments for the house online.
Plus, they both still had to work. They had to set aside their leaves for the wedding ceremony itself.
They were both busy as bees.
Since it was a grand wedding ceremony, they had to send out invitations and favors.
Minerva, Maddox, Quill, and Vera were naturally invited. However, Olivia voluntarily took Vera's invitation and told Sam, "You can give the invitations to the Yardleys. I will personally deliver this one."
He looked at her, his gaze hesitant.
"What? We should work as a team, right? Besides, I have nothing to do today. If you're busy, you can give me the Yardleys' invitation and I'll deliver that too."
He was silent for a moment, but then he suddenly reached out to hug her. He leaned on her shoulder and whispered in her ear, "Sorry for the trouble."
He apologized, because he knew that he had not gotten over Vera completely yet. Therefore, Olivia had graciously taken on the job of giving the card to her. He had to praise her open-mindedness.
Would he ever find another woman like Ollie?
She could guess his thoughts, but she neither got angry, nor did she make a fuss. Nonchalantly and completely at ease, she said, "If you think that I'm troubled by this task, then treat me well. Don't betray me. If you do..."
At that, she paused. Then, the cruel words left her, "I will leave you and go somewhere you will never be able to find me."
The words made his heart skip a beat. He took a step back and said with his eyebrows furrowed tightly. "Don't say such things anymore."
She quirked her brows in amusement. "What are you afraid of? As long as you don't betray me, I won't leave. I won't make it so that you can't find me."
"Whatever it is, don't say things like that again."
Sam recalled the fortune-teller's words because of what Olivia said. They would be parted by either life or death.
He didn't want that kind of ending.
He pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.
Before she could even react to that, she had been enveloped in a crushing embrace. He was holding her with considerable force, as if he wanted to meld their bodies together into one. His hand on her waist was gripping onto her so tightly that it was almost frightening.
She was only joking with him. This guy, how could he be intimidated that easily? It seemed that he cared about her more than she thought.
