Fine then, Olivia stopped speaking up for him.
She would just let his mother scold the clueless man properly. It would be good for him to come to a realization earlier and remember it for the future as well.
To tell the truth, Olivia was quite angry that time having been left behind. However, pregnant women should avoid being angry. She knew that very well, so she controlled her emotions.
In addition, she also felt that if the woman really sprained her ankle, it was not unreasonable to send her to the hospital.
As long as Sam admitted to his mistakes when he came back, it would be fine.
Anyway, they were just a couple that was living their lives together. There was no need to make a big fuss out of something at all sometimes, or it would be bad if it ruined their harmonious relationship.
Emma also realized that Olivia had been keeping herself composed all the time, so she advised her.
"Don't spoil him, Ollie. If your husband is wrong, you should scold him. I will surely be on your side."
"Mom, I know. Don't worry about me. I'll ask him properly when he comes back."
"However, you can't be too angry either. You are going to give birth soon, so don't overexert your body. Forget it, you'd better not ask. I will wait here, and I will interrogate him once he comes back."
Hence, they waited until night time, and only did Sam come home.
He opened the door and entered the living room. He was shocked to see two women sitting on the sofa and one of them was even glaring at him with her arms crossed.
"Mom, why are you here?"
Emma sneered. "Don't you feel ashamed to ask me? Where the hell have you been?"
Her glare was almost murderous. Sam glanced at Olivia, who was somehow not angry and instead, looked quite normal.
He thought for a moment and said, "I went back to look for you. The salesperson told me that you have already left."
Without waiting for Olivia's response, Emma scolded him again, "What should she do if not that? Should she wait there until you return? Don't you know that Ollie is pregnant? Don't you know that it's tiring for her to wait outside? Sam, are you conscious of your role as a husband? Do you know that your wife is pregnant? She is going to give birth soon yet you left just like that. Can you bear the responsibility if something unexpected happens?"
Sam felt guilty and did not speak. As he listened to Emma, he did not refute at all.
"Why aren't you saying anything? You left Ollie there alone. Shouldn't you apologize to her?"
"Mom..." Olivia took Emma's hand. "Well, actually I didn't wait long. Besides, I can understand that he was sending someone to the hospital then."
Sam was a little surprised. "How did you know that I went to the hospital?"
"I know. I asked the salesperson about what happened, and then I guessed that you must have sent the woman to the hospital."
Listening to Ollie's tone, it seemed that she still didn't know who it was that he took to the hospital.
"Actually, what happened was when we were in the supermarket, it was..."
He wanted to say that Vera bumped into him. Seeing that something might have happened, so he helped to send her to the hospital.
Then, Emma interrupted him and said, "No matter what the situation is, don't you know that you should prioritize your wife? You left Ollie all alone there. Would you be able to bear the responsibility if something goes wrong? Would you?"
She was still very angry. As she saw Olivia's big belly, she just thought of how she was left alone in the supermarket and how she walked back alone.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
