Chapter 1460
Chapter 1460
Initially, Olivia had planned to use Sam as her pretend partner so that she could get her mother off her back about asking her to go on blind dates and leave her alone.
However, who knew that things would turn out like this?
When Sam got off work, he brought Olivia some snacks like he did everyday. He wanted desperately to patch things up with her, so whatever he knew she liked, he would get it for her.
It would be a necklace one day, a bracelet or a pair of earrings every other day. At that moment, her closet was full of gifts from him. At this rate, her jewelry box would be filled to the brim soon.
"Gifts and snacks."
He handed her a small box. She sat up from the sofa and raised her hand lazily to take it, "What did you buy for me today?"
"Have a look."
She opened it and found that he had actually bought her a ring. It looked very unique and expensive.
She wasn't in a hurry to put it on her hand. Instead, she looked at him and asked teasingly, "Do you want to propose to me?"
Upon hearing that, he was slightly stunned. He took off his coat and gave her a puzzled look.
"Why are you giving me a ring if you're not proposing to me?" Olivia played with the ring in her hand. It was shining under the light. Her smile became brighter, "How long have we been dating? Sam, why are you so anxious to propose to me?"
"I..."
"Don't say anything!" She raised her hand and interrupted him, "I know what you want to say. You are afraid that I will reject you, right?"
He was a little speechless. In fact, he really didn't think much when he bought the ring. The shop assistant had introduced it to him. Although it was expensive, he didn't think much and proceeded to buy it for Olivia.
He bought her the ring because he had bought other jewelry for her in the past. He didn't want to repeat his gifts as it might upset her.
He didn't expect that Olivia would actually misunderstand him.
What should he say? Should he deny it?
If he denied it, given this girl's quick- witted character, she would definitely ask him again when the time came. Did he not even think of marrying her at all?
If he didn't deny, then...
Having been with her for a long time, he had been tricked by her so much that he was not as straightforward as he used to be. Thus, after thinking about it for a long time, he felt that it was better to say nothing.
Seeing that he did not speak, Olivia was not satisfied. She thought that he would retort, but why was he quiet?
She was unhappy and decided to make things difficult for him.
"Why don't you speak? You're not admitting it, are you? Who did you buy this ring for?"
Sam thought she would be satisfied and put on the ring, but she actually asked him again. He hooked his coat up on the wall and walked towards her. Then, he took the ring from her.
Her expression changed slightly, "You can't bear to give it to me? Fine, then take it back..."
Before she could finish her words, she felt something cold on her finger. It turned out that Sam had taken the initiative to put the ring on her hand.
"Are you seriously asking me such questions now? Don't you know who I bought this ring for? Is there anyone else in the house besides you and me? Or do you think I bought it for myself?" NôvelDrama.Org © content.
It was the first time that he was being so vocal. She curled her lips, and glanced at the ring on her finger in admiration. She replied, "Who knows? Maybe you really did buy it for yourself."
Hearing this, he answered awkwardly, "Even if I bought it for myself, how would I wear it?"
She didn't speak. She looked at the ring on her finger and liked it more as the seconds passed. She wanted to gush over how beautiful the ring was but she suppressed herself.
"If you keep buying me these expensive things, wouldn't you have no more money left? Sam, you gave me these voluntarily. If we break up one day, I will return these to you."
Initially, he was still holding her hand, and the atmosphere between the two was fine. However, when Olivia brought up the issue of breaking up, the atmosphere was ruined.
He looked up at her and said somewhat helplessly, "Can you stop talking about breaking up?"
She stared at him and didn't answer.
"The atmosphere is ruined. If you receive a gift, you should be happy, but you think too much when I give you a gift."
"Then tell me, will you ask me for it back if we really break up one day?" She stared at him and asked, "These gifts you gave are really expensive and worth a lot of money. Are you sure you won't find me one day and..."
"I'm giving it to you. It's yours. Of course, I won't ask for it back!"
"Sam!" She shouted at him loudly. Because they were right in front of each other, he felt his eardrums ringing from her scream. He didn't expect that she, who was close at hand, would suddenly get angry.
"You actually thought of breaking up with me!"
The corner of his mouth twitched. Was this yet another trap? He could only blame himself for being too naive.
"Shouldn't you comfort me and say that we won't break up? You don't need to return these gifts. You can do whatever you want with them?"
He, who was afraid of losing her, immediately apologized, "I'm wrong. I will change."
After that, he took Olivia's hand and said, "Don't be angry. Are you hungry? Let me buy you something to eat."
She glanced at the food in the bag. She wanted to continue being upset but she was attracted to the food too. She looked at Sam and said after a moment, "Okay, I'll let you off the hook this time."
Hearing this, he instantly felt relieved.
When she ate, she occasionally fed him a bite. At first, he would blush and feel embarrassed, but slowly, he got used to it.
"Go take a shower. I'll apply the medicine for you after you take a shower."
Sam had to change his bandages everyday. He had recovered well, so the doctor had allowed him to go home and rest. He could take a shower but only with warm or tepid water. He wasn't allowed to use hot water as it would hurt his wounds.
After all, it would take some time for the wounds to be healed completely.
He agreed immediately. He went directly to take a shower, and after he was done, he laid down on the bed without any clothes on so that Olivia could apply medicine for him.
She was still shocked each time she saw the injuries and scars on his body. He was such a careless guy. If she had suffered such injuries, she would be in so much pain that she wouldn't want to move at all. However, he was fine, and he could still go to work.
Thinking of this, she asked angrily, "I know your business is booming, but can't you ask for leave to rest for a few days?"
