So Olivia didn't realize the cushions were the reason Emma and Marcus didn't sit down.

Emma was the first to sit, and to her surprise, the cushions were very soft. Then she hurriedly told Marcus to sit and even glared at him.

Marcus rubbed his nose with embarrassment and finally sat down.

"Ollie, are you the one who decorated the place?"

"Yeah," said Olivia. She nodded. "I like this kind of style. It doesn't look dull, and it makes me happy."

Then, Olivia suddenly realized something. "Ah, right, it looks rather childish, doesn't it? I grew up with this kind of style, so I didn't think much of it."

"Not at all; it's adorable. It's normal for young girls like you to like this kind of design."

As Emma adored Olivia, she'd praise her every opportunity she got. Then she nudged Marcus.

Following her lead, Marcus also smiled genuinely. "Yes, it's normal for youngsters like you to like this kind of design."

After chatting for a while, Olivia excused herself and went to the bathroom to text Sam, telling him his parents had visited.

It was already past 20 minutes when Sam read the message.

At first, he thought it was some random text or question when he saw it was from Olivia. But after giving it a good read, his gaze changed.

Why hadn't his parents informed him before they went to his place?

It was unprecedented. However, they rarely visited, so it had never crossed his mind. Moreover, he didn't think his parents and Olivia would one day meet after she moved in. His parents would definitely misunderstand while seeing a girl living in his place.

He and Olivia were a fake couple, and they had no feelings for each other at all. If his parents misunderstood, he'd have to spend a lot of time explaining himself.

How troublesome.

After giving it some thought, Sam decided to go home.

On the other hand, Mr. and Mrs. Sorrento had decided to stay for lunch because Olivia said she would prepare a feast.

While she was cooking, Emma also followed her in. Seeing that she was skilled, Emma's adoration for her affection for her shot through the roof.

What a precious daughter-in-law.

Emma genuinely adored Olivia, but soon, she thought of something and asked. "Say, Ollie, are you the one who cooks for Sam?"

Olivia nodded without a second thought, and Emma's face immediately changed. "Blasphemy! You may be his girlfriend, but you don't need to cook for him all the time. Honestly, how can he treat you like this?! How can he let you cook?! Don't worry, Ollie, I'll definitely scold him when he comes back."

Olivia was speechless.

She had merely simply replied to Emma but who would've thought she'd react so dramatically. Wasn't Sam her son? Shouldn't she be protective of him instead of her?

Moreover, their relationship was fake. It was their pact for her to cook and him to pretend to be her boyfriend so that she could avoid going on blind dates.

In short, they were only helping each other out.

Hence, Olivia didn't think much of it. However, Emma's reaction was over the top.

Thinking of this, she sighed softly and explained, "Mrs. Sorrento, it's fine. I don't have much to do at home anyway, so I thought, why not cook. I don't do it often anyway. We'd also eat out sometimes." Hearing that, Emma asked again, "Then does Sam do the dishes?"

Olivia nodded.

When it came to washing the dishes, Sam did it on his own initiative. Not only that, he had never complained and was even quite diligent at it.

No matter how messy Olivia made the kitchen, Sam would make it spotless.

Emma breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Olivia nod. "That's good. He's not that hopeless. If he doesn't even wash the dishes, then I'll definitely break his legs."

Hearing this, Olivia suddenly felt bad for Sam. His mother sure was tough on him.

Sam came back as fast as he could, but when he entered, Olivia and Emma were already done cooking, and Marcus was setting the table. Seeing Sam, Marcus smiled.

"Sam, Olivia said it'd take a while before you're back. How come you're early today?"

Sam scanned the room as he changed his shoes. When he saw that the table was already set, he asked, "Lunch is already ready?"

Marcus nodded. "Yeah, Olivia asked us to stay for lunch. Your mother is in the kitchen with her."

Hearing that, Sam grew worried. He tried his best not to frown and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you call me before you came? I could've picked you up." He'd have time to make the arrangements on his side as well.

After all, he was not Olivia's real boyfriend, but his parents would definitely think their relationship was real when they saw them living together.

And this would cause unnecessary trouble for Olivia.

"Well, you're usually busy with your work. I wanted to give you a call, but your mom didn't let me. She said it'd be troublesome for you to pick us up with your hectic schedule. Besides, we have the keys, and we know the way, so it's no trouble at all.

With that, Sam fell silent.

At this time, Emma happened to come out with a dish in her hand. Seeing Sam, her eyes immediately widened and pulled him into his room after putting the dish down. "What's the matter with you?"

Hearing that, Sam pursed his lips and explained, "Mom, it's not what you think..."

"Ollie is your girlfriend. How can you let her cook for you all the time? What do you think she is, your nanny? You're supposed to spoil her, understand?" Sam was suddenly at a loss for words. He looked at Emma, befuddled.

"Are you listening to me? Also, when did you get a girlfriend? Why didn't you tell us? Your dad and I even planned a few blind dates for you Do you know how worried we are about your marriage? And yet, here you got yourself a girlfriend but wouldn't even tell us."

"Mom, it's not like that. Let me explain."

"Forget it. You just want to explain why you ask her to cook, don't you? You're lucky Ollie is considerate. If I were her, I would've dumped you."
