Olivia had considered that previously.
However, she later figured that she shouldn't be bullied and wronged for the sake of the child.
Yes, she chose to give birth to a child, so she had the responsibility to take care of the child and give him the best she could, but the quality of her life mattered too.
Even without Sam, she would still be able to give the child a good life on her own.
If Sam and her were together just for the sake of the child, and if they were unhappy, would the child not realize it even if they gave him the complete love of the father and mother? Based on how sensitive a child was, he would still know in the end how unhappy his parents were.
She didn't want the child to have an unhappy childhood and let him grow up in such situation.
"I must have talked too much. You must be annoyed now. I won't say anymore," Emma wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes sadly, and she couldn't restrain herself any longer. "During that six months that you were gone, I watched Sam got off work and take care of the child alone. I saw how he waited each day for your return and as his mom, I felt that his efforts would not be in vain. I thought that you would surely see his painstaking efforts and regrets. No matter how long it takes, as long as you returned, everything would be all right."
"Yet, I did not expect that you indeed came back, but you just wanted to take the child with you."
Emma could no longer hold in her tears and cried sorrowfully. As Emma cried, Olivia was extremely distressed, but she couldn't do anything.
She could only stand and wait for Emma to finish crying. Moments later, Emma stood up and said to her, "You can go now. Sam hasn't come back yet. I'll make it clear to him when he comes back."
Olivia was a little surprised, "Mom?"
"Go ahead, but you have to promise me that you will give yourself more time to think things over. Don't cut off Sam immediately. I slightly understood what had happened between the both of you but child, don't hold on to the past for too long. Know that Sam's heart now belongs to you completely."
Olivia was touched by the last sentence, but it happened too quickly. Olivia quickly nodded and said, "I know, Mom. I will consider it carefully. I will leave with the child first then." "Go ahead." As Olivia carried the child and left, Emma didn't even dare to turn her head and look at them. She was afraid that she would regret her decision and go ahead and stop them if she did.
She was Sam's mother and she would definitely side with Sam no matter what it was, but also because she was a mother, she put herself in Ollie's shoes. Ollie was also a mother, therefore she certainly hoped to live with her child.
If she wanted to file for a divorce and if she was capable financially, she would definitely want to take care of the child independently.
Bang!
The door to the entrance of the house slammed shut. Emma remained seated on the sofa, not moving.
The joy when she saw Ollie to the moment Ollie left with the child, Emma's joy was short-lived. Her emotion went from one extreme to the other.
If she as a mother had such feelings, she couldn't imagine how much sadder Sam would feel.
After some time, Sam came back with bags of groceries. As he entered the house, he went straight to the kitchen and put away the groceries into the refrigerator silently. Emma watched him from her seat and saw that the refrigerator was full. He didn't ask about Olivia after he came back.
Did Sam think that Ollie was still in the room with the child?
Thinking of that, Emma said, "There's no need for that anymore. She's gone."
Hearing that, Sam stopped for a split second then continued to stuff things into the refrigerator. His movements were stiff as if he was a robot.
Emma burst with anger and charged towards Sam, "Did you hear what I just said? Ollie has left with the baby. Why don't you have any response? You looked like a dead person! Are you still a husband and a father?"
Sam remained silent for a long time. He seemed to have lost all his strength.
"Then, what can I do?"
"What?"
"What can I do? She doesn't want to come back to me. In half a year, perhaps she has really made a decision."
