Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1294

Seeing delicious food on the table, Olivia already started to salivate.

She was starving as she was dragged to the banquet the moment she woke up.

She took Brenda's hand. "Mom, the dishes are served, so let's eat. Nothing is more important than food."

Brenda took a glance and saw only a few dishes. She couldn't help glaring at Olivia.

"Not all of them are out yet, and you're already acting like this. Are you a pig? Control your expression. Don't eat too much."

Olivia looked sad. "Isn't the only highlight of the day eating?"

Brenda was at a loss for words for a moment. "Your boyfriend is here."

Oh, fake boyfriend.

Olivia said in her heart. Olivia sat and took the cutlery in her hand. As everyone else wanted to sit close to the main table, Olivia and Brenda were the only ones at their table. She picked up her cutlery and started eating without a second thought.

Brenda's gaze changed, and she quickly grabbed Olivia's hand after she ate a piece of meat. "Stop eating. The table is not full yet."

"Mom, don't stop me. Everyone else has gone there. They won't come to our table. Our table is too far away. We can just start eating as we please now."

Looking at her daughter, Brenda felt dejected as her daughter was far from her expectations.

She hoped that Olivia would replace a boyfriend as soon as possible, but she didn't care about that at all. Sam, on the other hand, didn't seem to have noticed his girlfriend was here. Or had he spotted her but decided not to do anything?

No. Brenda pondered and couldn't take it anymore.

If this was happening to her, she could let it be. But it was happening on Olivia. How could she let her daughter suffer such grievances?

Brenda got up, but Olivia stopped her.

"Where are you going? Honestly, nobody will come over. Just relax and eat. Besides, so what if people do come? Are we supposed to sit and do nothing if they only come half an hour later?" Brenda replied, "You can eat first."

"Then where are you going?"

"I'm going to the washroom."

Olivia did not suspect anything. She only nodded and said, "Okay, then. You'd better come back soon. I can't guarantee I won't finish everything on the table if you come back late."

Brenda was at a loss for words.

She stared speechlessly at her daughter.

Her boyfriend was clearly right there, yet they wouldn't look for each other. Not only that, Olivia was eating without reservation.

Poor Olivia.

However, Olivia didn't know her mother's thoughts. If she knew, she would've definitely refuted, and said that wasn't the case. Brenda pretended to go to the washroom but quickly changed her direction halfway through. She walked toward the main table.

As Karl was at the main table, he stood up as soon as he saw his wife coming to him. "Honey, I was planning to talk to my mother for a while, then go replace you. Where's Olivia?"

Brenda smiled slightly. After greeting everyone, she answered Karl's question.

"She is eating over there. Do you have your phone with you? I forgot to bring my phone out. Can I use yours to make a call?"

Everyone at the table had their eyes on Brenda when she spoke to Karl. Brenda did it on purpose as Sam had met her before. She refused to believe he couldn't actually recognize her. On the other hand, being an honest man, Karl suspected nothing. He handed his phone to his wife and said softly, "How are you so careless? You even forgot to bring your phone out." Brenda laughed softly, then pretended to make a call. After she went out and said a few words, she returned the phone to Karl.

Then, her eyes moved slightly, and her gaze happened to meet Sam's, who was seated next to Mr. Arnold.

He was looking at her.

Brenda stood still and looked back at him.

It was only two seconds later that Sam nodded and greeted her. "Mrs. Jenkins."

As Sam suddenly spoke, everyone at the table shifted their gaze to him. Weil gasped, "You two know each other?"

Brenda was mad in her heart. She didn't want to admit it as Sam had only greeted her at this time.

On the other hand, Sam actually hadn't thought of how to explain their relationship.

He didn't know much about Olivia's situation. Moreover, they were a pretend couple, to begin with. She had only done it to fool her mother from arranging blind dates for her. But now that all her relatives were here, would he cause more trouble for Olivia if he said he's her boyfriend?

After some contemplation, Sam decided to give a neutral answer.

He looked at Brenda and said, "Yeah, I'm friends with Mrs. Jenkins's daughter."

Weil was speechless at Sam's answer. He recalled Sam's expression at the entrance and then looked at Brenda. He suddenly understood something.

"So the girl you're looking at is someone you know?"

No wonder Sam stared at her for so long. There was even a smile in his eyes and on his lips, yet he foolishly offered to introduce them to each other.

All of a sudden, Weil felt that he was too dumb.

But he was also rather glad he got Sam to join the banquet.

"Friends?" Weil smiled meaningfully and said, "You two are really just friends?"

Everyone else at the table wasn't able to process what was happening. They could obviously discern Sam's position and status as he was invited to sit at the main table, but to their surprise, he knew Olivia. Eason rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "I was wondering why Olivia wasn't looking for a boyfriend. It turns out that..."

"Eason!" Pollard called out to him. "Didn't you hear Mr. Sorrento say they're friends? Don't talk nonsense, or it will be awkward."

Friends? Eason resigned not to add to that. There must be something fishy going on between Olivia and Sam, seeing as how he paused when he said they were friends.

On the other hand, Brenda became upset when she heard Sam's answer. She couldn't believe Sam wouldn't admit he was Olivia's boyfriend in front of her relatives. What did he mean?

Was he looking down on Olivia?

Thinking of this, Brenda sneered and said sarcastically, "It's better if they're not. Olivia is not lucky enough to be friends with Mr. Sorrento."

After that, Brenda directly turned around and left, not caring how everyone else felt.

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, not knowing what had happened at all.

Karl didn't know about this at all. So when everyone asked him, he was as confused as they were and said he hadn't a clue about it.

Olivia was nibbling on a chicken wing when she saw her mother walking back angrily.
