When Olivia woke up and noticed the bank book on the table, she sighed and put it away.
According to her parents' personalities, they would probably not take back what they had given her.
Recalling what Brenda told her about how much Emma and Sam had done for her, Olivia decided to give him a call to ask him out for a talk.
They didn't make an appointment to go elsewhere, and decided on just to go to their previous house. Olivia left the child in her mother's care and headed over by herself.

"Do you know why I asked you out for a talk?" After she asked, Sam avoided her question, "Drink the warm milk first. You shouldn't always skip breakfast in the morning. It's harmful to your health." Upon hearing that, Olivia paused and did not touch the glass of milk. After a long silence in the living room, Sam put the glass of milk in front of her as he noticed that she remained still. "Finish it, and we'll talk. Anyway, I'll promise you whatever you want." Her heart trembled, but Olivia didn't reach out for the glass of milk. Her lips twitched, and finally, she lifted her head to look at him.
"Do you know why I cto you?" "I do." "Then, why did you tellthat you'll agree to whatever I say?" "That's right." Sam nodded, "I'll indeed agree to whatever you request." Olivia was instantly at a loss for words. She slowly reached out for the mug. The temperature of the milk was just right, and as she cupped the mug with both hands, a warm sensation flowed in to her heart along her palms.
Holding the glass of milk, she fell silent for a while.
It took her quite a while to ask, "Do you regret this half a year?" He smiled wryly, "So what if I regret it or not? Will you cback to my side?" He raised his gaze and looked straight into her eyes, "Even if I'm in pain and is on the verge of dying, you won't cback to my side. Sthings have already happened, and I don't know how to make up for the mistakes I've made. Also, you're not willing to givea chance to make up for them." "If... if I could," Sam smiled bitterly and lowered his gaze, "I'm willing to make up for it with my life." Her heart jolted. Biting her lower lip, Olivia asked after a long moment of silence, "Are you finally admitting that you have done something wrong?" "I didn't do anything wrong, but rather, I shouldn't have done it at all." Sam pursed his lips, "I didn't think about it thoroughly. I wasn't responsible. I shouldn't have been with you before I sorted my feelings out, and I shouldn't be thinking about her after getting into a relationship with you." She was triggered by his words, and her face turned pale, "Stop talking." "However, Ollie!" He instantly raised his head, fixed his serious gaze on her, and grasped her shoulder, saying, "It was only once. Only once. After what happened in the supermarket, my heart was occupied by you. There was no longer anyone else in my heart." "What did you say?" She looked at him in astonishment.
"I know that you may not believe it, but I can swear to God that what I said is true. Perhaps I still had her in my heart the first time, but it was filled by you right after that and could no longer accommodate anyone else." When he spoke, Sam's expression was particularly sincere, and his gaze was honest. It was as if he was saying, "I'm here. You can check and do whatever you wish. If you don't believe it, you can even cut my heart open and look at it." What Olivia had always minded was whether he loved her or not.
Right then, as he took the initiative to confess to her, she felt as if her heart had been hit hard with something. At the stime, she felt that she was confined within the grasp of huge palms and could not escape it.
She bit her lower lip and glared at him in hatred.
"Did you lie, just to keepby your side? You liar, if you don't have anyone else in your heart, why did you abandonat that time? You liar, you're not telling the truth at all!" "If I had her in my heart, I would definitely be guilty. Why would I have sent her directly to the hospital? Ollie, it's not that you don't believe in me, but you don't believe in yourself." Hearing that, Olivia was stunned.
"You don't believe that you can seize and capture my heart, so you're upset and afraid of losing me, and you feel extremely uneasy, is that right?" Unfortunately, what Sam had said hit Olivia spot on. She had been holding a grudge about the first incident and had been tensed all the time. When it happened once more, her heart completely collapsed! She couldn't even hold the glass of milk properly as her hands trembled, so she could only push him away and placed the glass aside.

Sam leaned forward all of a sudden to wrap his arms around her waist and whispered in her ear, "We got together after all those hardships. Let us not part just like this, al right?" Olivia said nothing as her eyelashes fluttered.
"Our child is so young. Do you have the heart to do this? If he only has a mother and no father, will his life still be complete? I'm head over heels for you right now, and are you still not willing to forgiveand accepteven when I'm really in love with you?" "Stop talking." "Back then, the fortune-teller told us that the two of us would either be separated while alive or be parted by death. When you toldabout that, Ollie, I was really moved because you did not hide it from me. I have also decided to stay with you forever. So, let's not part so easily, all right?" Sam's voice turned gentler and softer. Olivia felt as if she was stepping on clouds as it sounded unreal.
Had he truly fallen in love with her? Was that possible? He used to love Vera so much. Just because he said he had given up, did that mean that he could actually give his previous feelings up with such ease? Was it possible? "Ollie, giveanother chance. Ollie..." In the end, she could only hear him calling her nin a loving voice.
In a daze, she shifted her gaze to look at him and asked as if she was under influence, "If give you another chance, can you guarantee that you will do well?"
"I promise that I'll love you with all that I have. Just givehalf a year. If you're still not satisfied after that period of time, and if you want to leave then, I'll no longer stop you from doing so, all right?" Half a year? "Do you know how much I've suffered in this period of tfrom thinking of you? I dare not contact you or look for you, as I was afraid that you'd hate me. So, I could only send rewards to your work every day. Did you see it?" Rewards?
Speaking of which, Olivia did notice a reader who was sending her rewards every day, insisting on praising her as well as giving her great comments. The reader did not not miss out a single day for half a year. She had noticed that account but did not ponder about it. Perhaps it was because she had been deep in thoughts about other stuffs, she did not expect that account to actually be Sam's. Therefore, did it mean that he had not been indifferent during the past six months? Knowing that he had been paying attention to her for half a year, her heart softened.
As such, she was persuaded by Sam, and agreed to be in a trial period of another half a year.
