Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

"If not, then what? Do you not want to keep it?" Olivia's expression was serene.

"Of course not." Sam swiftly put the marriage certificate away. For him, everything that had happened just then was too good and it felt surreal.

"Do you mean... that?" He asked in uncertainty, but he didn't dare ask Olivia if she did not want a divorce. He was afraid to even mention the word in front of her.

Olivia found his vigilance slightly amusing.

"It's been half a year, and you're still the same. Can't you see what I've done in the past half year?" Olivia took a deep breath before she continued in a soft voice, "Do you really think I have the tto fool around with you for so long? A woman's youth is precious, so why would I stay with you if I didn't have any feelings for you?" Sam had never heard those words for half a year.

Hence, Sam was ecstatic. He had always known that Ollie stayed not because she wanted to screw him over. After all, not everyone could afford to waste half a year. Who would be able to stand to spend that much twith someone if they were not pleased with their other half? "Keep the marriage certificates. If you show them toagain, I might change my mind." Olivia's tone turned rather fierce as she said that, and she seemed rather serious.

With that, Sam hurriedly kept the certificate away and stepped forward to hug Olivia around her waist. He seemed rather overwhelmed with emotions, "Thank you." His voice was very deep, just like the hum of an old car, "Thank you for givingthe chance to stay by your side. Marrying you is my greatest honor in my life. Don't worry. I'll treat you well for the rest of your life." Olivia did not expect him to say such touching words at such a moment. Fortunately, Emma was intuitive to bring Virgil downstairs. If not, Olivia would feel very awkward with them around her. "Enough. Aren't you tired of it?" Olivia pushed Sam away and said, "I am eating. Can't you find a better tto talk about this, maybe when mom and Virgil aren't here? You must be insane to do this now." "Haha, you can say whatever you want about me, as long as you don't leave me." Sam seemed to have been bewitched, and he went up to Olivia again after being pushed away, like an annoying pest.

Olivia was rather confused. It was the first tshe'd seen Sam behaving in such a manner.

"How did I not know that you're so thick-skinned?" "If I wasn't, what would I do if you ran away? How would I find a new mom for Virgil, and how would I find someone else that I love so much?" "What?" Olivia raised her voice at Sam, "When you tellthat you love me, can't you say it a bit louder? It's not like it's something to be ashamed of. I knew it, you're just too much! You won't even tellthat you love me. Fine, it's not like I want to hear it anyway. Since it's over, I want to keep eating..." "I love you." Olivia was astonished, and she stiffened on the stop as she thought she'd heard him wrong.

The surroundings quieted down, and there seemed to be only the sound of them breathing. It took Olivia a long tto turn around to look at Sam, and she spoke with difficulty.

"What... did you just say?" Sam took her into his arms, pressing Olivia's ear to his chest. She could clearly hear his thumping heartbeat striking a chord within her soul.

Olivia felt herself trembling, and the words echoed in her ears. Her eyes welled up with tears, and her breathing becerratic.

She felt that she had waited to hear those words for a long, long time.

She'd finally heard them when she was about to lose hope.

"Didn't you hearclearly? If not, I'll say it again," Sam then slowly whispered in her ear, "I love you." Olivia finally couldn't hold it anymore as tears streamed down her cheeks.

"In fact, I was in love with you for a while, it's just that I didn't know it. I lost six months just because of that, and it was my fault." "I should have gotten my emotions and feelings sorted earlier and told you." Meanwhile, Olivia couldn't say a word as she was too overwhelmed. She stared at Sam with reddened eyes as her tears fell like pearls from a broken necklace.

Face to face, Sam wiped Olivia's tears and apologized, "I'm sorry to have hurt you. Don't cry." With her eyes reddened, Olivia took sdeep breaths before she managed to find her voice again.

"The only one you're allowed to love from now on is me. No one else." "Of course." "You can't even glance at other women." "Alright." Sam agreed to everything Olivia requested before pulling her into his arms, "I belong to you, my body and my soul. What happened in the past will never happen again." Then, Sam dried her tears once more, "You're not mad anymore, are you? Are you going to wear the ring again?" Olivia had returned her ring to Sam after their last argument as she threw tantrums at him, while Sam found out only after she had left.

Sam had kept the ring ever since, and he didn't dare to bring it up over the half a year, until right then.

At the mention of wedding rings, Olivia looked at her bare fingers before she extended her hand to him and nodded.

At first, she thought that Sam would go and get the ring, but she'd never expected him to get it out righ m his pocket. Then, he turned around and slid the ring onto her finger.

Olivia replied, "Did you cprepared?" Sam cleared his throat, "I prepared for everything.

I just needed you to make your choice." "Would you be okay with whatever decision I make?" Olivia lifted her eyebrow at the sight of the ring on her hand.

"Of course not," Sam replied wisely, "I of course want you t you to stay with me, but I don't want to force you to do it. I E can't bear to see you unhappy."

Over the last six months, Olivia had laughed a lot more, and that om encouraged Sam. He dreaded to think what would happen if Ollie was depressed the whole time. If so, he'd suffer even more than she would. Thankfully, that did not happen.

"Humph, as if." Olivia's heart had actually already melted, but she kept a stubborn tone to tease him. In the end, she took the initiative to hug Sam as the anxiety started to show on his face.

"That's enough. Stop overthinking.

Let's just live our lives like we do now, don't hurt all right? As long as you do me, I won't bring up the divorce again." The two of them hugged each other as they listened to each other's steady breaths and heartbeats in the quiet house in the serene morning.

In fact, Olivia had thought about leaving him. However, she later realized that she still loved Sam. There was no need for her to go out of her way and torture herself. er Since he was willing to change, she was willing to forgive as well, and it was that simple.

She also believed that every day in the future would get better and better.

The most important thing in life was to have the simple happiness.
