Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1382

Forget it. He was too lazy to be bothered about it.

Sam pursed his lips and did not reply to her.

"Hey, you haven't answered my question yet. Did you deliberately change the subject just now?"

"No."

It had merely popped up in his mind.

Weren't they just talking? Was it necessary for her to be so close to him?

Olivia squinted at Sam. "Are you feeling guilty about something?"

Then, she inched even closer, as if she could learn something from his face or gaze.

Sam's heartbeat fluctuated again. He frowned and suddenly pressed his palm on Olivia's face to push her away.

"Speak properly. Don't get so close to me."

Before Olivia could react, her face had already been pushed away. The heat from his palm was directly transferred to her face. By the time she could register what had happened, Sam had already withdrawn his hand.

And she had been pushed far away.

Irritated, she said, "Then, couldn't you have just talked? Why do you have to push me?"

Sam did not answer her. Olivia scrutinized him and suddenly thought of the evasive look in his eyes before he pushed her away. She smirked as she spoke.

"Why did you suddenly push me away? Are you afraid of me being close to you?"

Hearing her words, Sam glanced at her coldly.

"Am I wrong? If you weren't afraid, why would you push me away in such a hurry?"

As if to prove her point, Olivia approached Sam slowly. Although she was pushed far away, the distance between them was still close. Therefore, once Olivia went forward, the distance between them reduced infinitely.

Looking at Olivia's smiling and cunning eyes, Sam's heart flipped, and he pursed his lips as he looked at her.

Olivia was indeed gorgeous; she was even beautiful without makeup. If she dressed up seriously, her beauty could even be on par with celebrities.

She was indeed alluring.

As he was deep in thought, Olivia was already before him. She blinked and suddenly blew at him.

Sam narrowed his eyes. "What are you doing?"

Olivia smiled brightly. "Nothing. Just wanted to see how you'd react. You seemed to be afraid of me getting close to you. Are you nervous and short of breath as soon as I get close to you?"

For some reason, under her urge, Sam was as she had described. The closer she got to him, the more nervous he became, and he even felt suffocated.

Olivia saw a brief confusion in his eyes.

She thought she had imagined it, but when she wanted to take a closer look, his gaze had returned to normal. Then, her chin was suddenly clasped.

"Olivia Jenkins, what are you doing?" Sam looked at her coldly. His ruthless voice stunned Olivia for a moment. Before she could react, he continued, "We live together now, but know your place. We're just a pretend couple. Don't be so close to me if there is no need to. Do you understand me?"

At that moment, Olivia felt something in her mind had snapped.

After that, her mind went blank.

She didn't know whether her face had become pale, but her ears were buzzing; she couldn't seem to hear anything.

After that, Sam thought it was wrong to grab her chin, so he released it in a panic then stood up.

It was only then that Olivia came to her senses. Without thinking, she grabbed the cushion next to her and threw it at Sam's back.

"Sam Sorrento!"

Sam didn't dodge but allowed the cushion to hit his back.

"What do you mean by that? What do you mean by don't get close to you if there's no need to? Do you think I'm trying to seduce you? You wish! What do you mean by know my place? Who do you think you are? How dare you say that to me? Why didn't you say it in front of your mother?"

Sam said nothing.

His mind was clearer now. In actuality, he felt rather regretful as soon as he let the words out of his mouth.

However, he spoke out of anger when Olivia came close to him so suddenly and was even spot on with how he felt.

"Isn't the reason you didn't clarify it

to your mother that you thought it was troublesome. In that case, then we'll take what we need from each other was merely teasing. You're the one nervous here. So what if I

teased you? Do you have to hurt me

like that?"

Olivia was truly mad this time. She had indeed only wanted to tease him in the beginning, but who would've thought he took it so seriously and even said those hurtful words.

"Sorry." Sam turned around and stared at her. "I spoke without thinking. It's my fault."

Olivia was stunned. He was apologizing?

Perhaps his words were too hurtful. Olivia bit her lower lip and said angrily, "Do you think your apology matters? It is useless. You went too far!"

Sam looked at her speechlessly. She was still sitting on the sofa, and probably because she was angry, her eyes were somewhat bloodshot. Thinking back to what he had said, it was indeed too much.

He sighed helplessly and resigned himself to his fate as he approached her.

"Then what do you want to do? How about I let you hit me to your heart's content?"

"Hit you? You wish," Olivia snorted. She originally wanted to talk to Sam about her uncle, but she didn't expect their conversation to diverge. However, it didn't matter, as things were still going in the direction she wanted.

"Promise me one thing, and I'll let this slide."

Olivia was not the type to split hairs, but she was truly upset about what Sam had said. However, there was an even more pressing matter, so she

quickly shifted her focus.

Taken aback, he didn't expect her to negotiate with him during her anger, but he quickly regained his senses.

"What do you want me to promise you?"

"Tell me first if you agree or not." Olivia decided not to tell him yet.

Sam said, "How would I know if it's within my capability if you don't say it first?"

Olivia roared, "Is there any sincerity in your apology? You were so harsh with your words just now. I've only wanted you to promise me one thing, yet you keep making excuses. Do you think I'd ask you to do something illegal?"

She was right. As long as it was not morally wrong, he could promise her.

He twitched his lips helplessly and said, "Fine, I'll agree. Happy?"
