“Daddy, Mommy, what are you guys still doing here? Let’s move on to the next ride.”
As soon as Sam spoke, he dragged Olivia to the pendulum ride. A glint of reluctance flashed across John’s eyes, but he still followed them.
It was six 0 ‘clock in the afternoon, and all three of them, hungry and growling, drove to the restaurant they had booked.
Their dinner was a seafood feast with lobsters and king crabs. Sam was astonished.
Just as Sam was about to enjoy his meal, Olivia stopped him and said, ” Wait a minute.”
Then, the waiter came in with a cake.
Sam was overjoyed. “It’s a cake!”
“Of course. Your birthday would be incomplete without cake.”
Olivia opened the cake and put in a candle. Then, she asked John to help light it and turn off the light.
“Make a wish, Sam.”
Sam pressed his lips together and sobbed, saying, “Daddy, Mommy, thank you for fulfilling my long- cherished dream. Finally, I can have a birthday accompanied by parents, cake, and fun. I’m grateful for what you have done for me today!” Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Then, he looked at Olivia. “Mommy, if it were not for you, I might still be helping those bad guys and might be sent to prison one day. Things are different now. You brought a new world to me.”
He bit his lower lip, and his eyes were glistening with tears. “Mommy, you gave me a new life, and I’ll cherish this chance and repay your kindness.”
His words touched Olivia. Everything he said sounded like what Zyla had told her, making her tears uncontrollably tear down her cheeks.
She sniffled and reached out to touch Sam’s head. “It’s enough that you can grow up healthy and happy.”
“Mommy, you do have a daughter, don’t you?”
Olivia nodded.
Sam held her hand and said, “Mommy, please believe me. I will willingly sacrifice my life to protect your daughter. I swear!”
Olivia’s heart skipped a beat, and she looked at him bewilderedly.
Emotions surged through her.
Sam turned around and looked at John. “Daddy, although you usually look cold, don’t like to speak, and seem bad-tempered, I know you are a good person. Otherwise, you would not have agreed to Mommy’s request to help me. However,… others might misunderstand you if you keep on with this. So, please do be less bad-tempered.”
John’s face was cold, and he showed no change in his expression. Only a glint of bewilderment could be seen in his eyes.
“Mommy, Daddy, I hope you can accompany me to celebrate my birthday next year.”
He closed his eyes for a few seconds before blowing out all the candles.
Although the previous events had made Olivia feel down, the days with Sam around were like sunshine, making her sadness disappear. So, she had a satisfying meal.
After dinner, they sent Sam back to Emerald Bay.
On the way back to Elegance Gardens, John deliberately stopped by a beach.
“Liv, shall we go for a walk?”
Looking at the familiar beach, Olivia felt complicated feelings blooming in her.
“John, you do remember this place, right?”
“Yes, I do.”
“It was here that I first thought of divorcing you and was utterly disappointed in you.”
John looked at her without speaking.
After a long time, she turned to him and said, “John, may I ask you a question?”
“What do you want to ask?”
She took a deep breath and smiled. “Did you sleep with Dorothy?”
