Thinking of it, Olivia still felt angry. She took a few deep breaths to calm down and did not say anything.
Emma looked at her for a while and suddenly said, "You can stay with him as long as you like."
Then, Emma went out and closed the door for Olivia.
Later, she pulled Sam to aside and questioned him, "What happened?"
Sam pursed his thin lips and did not reply.
Emma felt that Sam was in a hard position then and couldn't express himself, so she didn't ask anymore. Initially she had wanted to leave to go home, but as Ollie was there then, she didn't want to leave. Hence, she decided to stay.
"Sam, go to the supermarket and buy some food now. I'll stay here tonight and cook dinner. Ollie is back now. We have to cook more dishes for her. Look at how thin she has become."
Sam did not really want to leave. He was very worried that if he let Ollie off his sight while he went out, she would run away again. Thus, he pursed his lips and remained unmoved, without accepting or refusing his mother's request.
"What are you doing? If you don't go and buy some things, what will Ollie eat tonight? Besides, she has come back, and she will definitely not leave again. What are you worried about?"
Sam was feeling extremely uneasy. Ollie's gaze and reaction made him feel that she didn't come back for him, and that she had only came back to see the child. As for going to see him...
It was highly likely that she had drunk some alcohol and that was why she had acted so out of control.
After all, Ollie had never lost control when she was sober with the matters surrounding Vera. That time, her losing control made him see her mind clearly, but he also began to worry.
"Go, I'll watch Ollie for you. Before you come back, I will definitely find a way to keep her here."
As Emma continued to urge him, Sam gave in and went to the supermarket.
Olivia sat in the room with the child for a long time and took pictures of him with her cell phone. She had been silent all the time so she wouldn't wake him up.
However, she didn't expect that he would wake up after she took photos of him for a while. He looked at her with his bright black eyes seriously. He did not cry and did not make any sound. He was very well-behaved.
"Baby", Olivia was suddenly excited. She put down her cell phone and went forward to pick him up. She hugged him and said, "I am your mom."
After not seeing him for half a year, Olivia thought that the child would cry or would not allow her to carry him. Unexpectedly, after being carried by her, the child actually stretched out his little fist to rub her chin, and he babbled some words that she did not understand.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand. I am your mom. Do you know that?" Olivia grabbed his little fist and laughed. Her eyes were hot with tears. She hugged him tighter and her cheeks were pressed against his, "I missed you so much. Did you miss me?"
The mother and son duo stayed in the room for a long time. Emma waited outside and did not go in to disturb them.
After a while, the door opened.
Emma stood up immediately, and saw Olivia coming out with the child in her arms.
"Ollie, is the child awake? How is he? The family is still teaching him to speak, but he is too young to learn well."
Olivia looked pale and forced a smile.
Emma negotiated hurriedly. Her extremely humble attitude caused Olivia distress. Olivia said, "Mom, you don't have to do this. I just want him to stay with me outside for a few days."
"I'm okay with it. I'm just giving you some suggestions. Which one do you think is better?"
Olivia didn't answer.
"Then, think about it again and tell me after you think it over, okay?" "Mom, I just want to live outside with him for a few days. I... don't want to live here."
The smile on Emma's face finally disappeared without a trace. She sighed heavily and said with sorrow in her eyes, "I just asked Sam to go to the supermarket to buy some groceries so that I can cook dinner for you. He didn't want to go, and still refused after I persuaded him for a long time, but I made him go. Now I finally understand that after half a year, you still haven't forgiven Sam, have you?"
Olivia hugged the child tightly. She blinked her eyes and didn't say anything.
Seeing her reactions, Emma sighed helplessly, "What are you afraid of? You gave birth to the child. If you really want to take him away, no one will be able to stop you."
Hearing that, Olivia raised her head in shock.
"I understand how you must have felt. I am also a woman. Although the Sorrento family adored the child, but from the child's perspective, it would benefit the child the most if he is with his mother."
Olivia's eyes were immediately filled with tears.
Her mother-in-law was really the best mother-in-law in the world. There would be no other mother-in-law like her.
"However, Ollie, wouldn't you try to think it through again? How long have you been together with Sam? Have you really only thought of separating with him during the half a year that you were apart from him? Was there not once that you feared that you would regret? Although the child can follow you, but do you think a child living in a broken family without both his father and mother's love would be happy?"
