After he hung up the phone, Sam sat at the bedside in a daze.
He wasn't sure how to execute the suggestion given by Young Master Yardley.
Would it be possible to make her stay if he took up on his suggestion?
What if it pissed her off even more?
He felt very unsure of the suggestion as he thought of that.
Meal times had been quiet for the past few days. Emma tried to moderate and light up the mood and made sure that Sam helped Ollie with her food.
As the elderlies were present at the dining table, Olivia did not show too much of her resistance when Sam placed food on her plate. She turned to look at Emma and said, "Thank you, Mom. Please eat."
"All right. Make sure you eat more. You'd better not starve. Confinement period is very important for your future wellbeing."
Olivia tilted her head and thought for a while. Then, she asked, "Mom, I have been staying at home for almost two weeks. I would like to go out in the afternoon today, is that all right?"
Everyone put their cutleries down immediately and looked at her nervously when she mentioned of wanting to go out.
Olivia wasn't sure how to react upon seeing their uniformed responses.
"Why are you all acting so surprised? It's been two weeks. I think I am allowed to go out, right? Many celebrities returned to work even earlier. There shouldn't be a problem if I were to go out."
"That's not exactly right. Confinement is meant for a month. It's better not to go out before your confinement period ends. Those celebrities are different from us. Your health is more important." Emma spoke as she held Olivia's hand nervously. "Besides, why do you want to go out? Is there anything you need? Get Sam to buy it for you."
Olivia smiled and said softly, "Mom, I do need to buy something, but he won't be able to help me, so I'll have to go by myself. I also want to go shopping with my friends."
"Let's not. Well talk about it after you complete your confinement." Brenda looked faintly at Olivia and said, "Don't cause trouble to the others."
From the moment Olivia mentioned about wanting to go out, Sam sat in a daze while staring at her, as if he was being froze.
However, she did not look at him throughout the conversation. It was as if he was not present.
Why did she suddenly mention about going out? Did she really plan on leaving?
The thought of her leaving made him feel that his future was bleak.
No, no, Ollie couldn't go.
Without warning, he suddenly grabbed her tiny wrist and pulled her up as he thought of that.
She was just about to eat when he suddenly grabbed her. Before she could react, he carried her up and walked into their room.
Olivia did not expect Sam to do that as their mothers were both present at the dining table. When she was finally able to process the situation, her face was flushed, and she hit his shoulder forcefully to stop him.
"What are you doing? Put me down now. Are you aware that our mothers are looking?"
Emma stood up to rush towards Sam furiously when she witnessed the scene, but Brenda stopped her immediately.
"Don't go. Leave it to them to solve their own problem." "However, seeing how Sam is behaving, will he hit
Ollie? No, no, I have to have a look."
Emma appeared worried. It took Brenda a lot of efforts to persuade her from getting involved. Then she whispered to her, "There are only a few things that could happen between a man and a woman. Let's stay out of this. I think we'd better go out for a walk first and come back later. I know Sam is not the kind who would hit women. Besides, we need a breakthrough in the situation."
Brenda made a prompt decision. Emma was finally convinced, and they packed up and left together.
