Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1203

Heaven knew that he had only meant it as a reminder. She had helped him, so he wanted to remind her to watch out for her safety and not to simply bring strangers home.

However, because Sam did not explain himself, Olivia got upset when she heard his words; her smile faded as she stared at Sam coldly.

"Mr. Sorrento, do you mean to say that I'm a busybody?"

Sam was taken aback.

"Because I nosily brought you home, and now you owe me a favor, so you're unhappy, aren't you?" Olivia looked at Sam angrily.

As expected, men were heartless.

Especially one who was a lovelorn!

If Olivia had known that he would react like this, she would not have brought him back.

Sam stammered. "That's not what I meant."

Olivia said angrily, "If that's not what you meant, then what did you mean? Didn't you just say that I'd better not get myself involved in such things in the future?" "Yes." Sam nodded. He looked and sounded helpless. "I did say that, but... what I meant to say is that, other than today, it'd be best if you don't care about things like this in the future."

"Why?!" Olivia was still angry. She still hadn't figured it out yet.

Sam remained silent.

How could this girl be so obtuse? She was giving him a headache. But he was in her home, and he owed her a favor, so Sam explained patiently, "What if the person you brought home is dangerous? You live alone. It's dangerous to bring a man home."

Hearing that, she finally understood what he meant.

"So you're saying, apart from you, all men are dangerous?"

"I mean, strange men can be very dangerous, including myself. So you'd better be aware in the future," Sam replied.

Seeing that he was worried about her, Olivia's anger instantly subsided. She snorted arrogantly.

"So, you're concerned about me. I guess you still have a conscience. Do you know how tiring it is for me to bring you home from the bar? Looks like my efforts weren't for nothing." Olivia quickly added, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I only helped you because I knew you weren't a bad person."

Sam wanted to say more, but he coughed a few times as soon as he opened his mouth. "I'll pour you a glass of water," Olivia said as she got up.

She cried out in pain and fell back down.

Sam frowned. "What's wrong?"

Olivia looked at her legs and then looked up at Sam. "My legs are... numb."

She had stayed in the same position for an entire night. How could she not be numb? Olivia helplessly reached out to gently massage her legs. Sadly she could feel pain and numbness in her legs when she moved, so she didn't dare do anything drastic.

Seeing her action, Sam thought he should help as he was the reason her legs were numb. But her legs... After some thought, Sam got up and walked to her side. "I'll help you."

Hearing his words, Olivia thought he wanted to massage her calves. She immediately declined. "No need, it's alright! You..."

Before she could finish her words, Sam picked her up. Olivia looked at him in shock. She subconsciously grabbed his clothes, and her eyes were wide open.

"What are you doing?"

Sam looked at her indifferently and

didn't say anything. He put her down on the sofa and said softly, "You've been staying in the same position for too long, so your blood isn't circulating properly; that's why your legs feel numb. Put your legs down slowly."

Olivia originally wanted to reprimand him, but Sam's slightly hoarse voice, from having alcohol and that he had just woken up, gave her immense ease. Therefore, Olivia did as he said. After a while, Olivia's legs were no longer as numb and painful. She glanced at Sam sitting next to her.

"You carried me without my permission."

Sam was taken aback.

"Sorry... I didn't do it on purpose," Sam apologized.

"You took advantage of me. You owe me another favor."

"Okay," Sam replied helplessly.

Although Olivia didn't know what Sam could do for her, she didn't want to lose the opportunity. She'd let him owe her for now; perhaps it would come in handy in the future. Unfortunately for Sam, he didn't know that she would use him. Moreover, little had he known that because of these two favors, he would become entangled with this sly girl. In the end... Of course, that was a story for later.

Time passed quickly. There were 365 days one year, 24 hours one day, and 60 minuted one hour.

Time waited for no man.

Jelly Bean would be one month old soon. Maddox was no longer a novice. He constantly took care of the child as he was worried that Minerva would be tired.

He tended to all the child's needs.

Minerva didn't have to do anything.

It wasn't that she didn't want to do it; Maddox didn't allow her. He had taken good care of her and Jelly Bean during her confinement. He did all the dirty and tiring work. All she did was eat and sleep.

She had taken all kinds of supplements during this period. After the month had passed, Minerva Only lost her oedema instead of her weight. Looking herself in the mirror, she had

become one size bigger, so she

glared at Maddox.

"It's all your fault. If you had allowed me to be more hands-on with Jelly Bean, I could've at least lost some weight."

Maddox patted her head. "Giving birth is hard enough. Why do you still want to take care of her?

It's not like you don't have a husband. What's wrong with me doing these things?"

It wasn't a bad thing, but Minerva felt that she should also take care of the child. Otherwise, Jelly Bean would only be close to her father and not to her.

In actuality, even though Minerva was heavier than before, she was under a lot of stress in the past, so she was underweight. She looked to be in good shape, although she had gained some weight. However, Minerva decided to sign up for a class in a gym a few days later. She wanted to start working out.

When Vera found out that Minerva wanted to be more hands-on with her child, she became envious.

"You really don't know how lucky you are. Do you know how many men don't help their wives look after the children? It's also why a lot of women suffer from postpartum depression!"
