Hearing that, Emma tapped her head and chuckled, "You're right. Silly me. I only had you in my mind and completely forgot we're attending a wedding." Olivia smiled coyly.

The door was pushed open and Sam and Marcus came in together.

"Is everyone ready?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sam looked at Olivia.

She was wearing a light green dress with a pearl-white jacket, and her legs were fair and slender.

She wore a pair of light-colored high heels. Sam didn't know exactly how high the heel was, but he thought it was very high. He frowned subconsciously and said, "Will it be easy for you to walk in such high heels?"

Hearing this, Olivia was startled.

"You usually wear flats. Are you sure you can walk?"

Before Olivia could reply, Emma butt in, "How can you say that? Isn't it common for girls to wear high heels? How will it be hard for her to walk? If she can't, then help her out. She's your girlfriend. Don't you know what you're supposed to do?"

Sam rubbed his nose in embarrassment, not expecting to be scolded for a casual question.

Okay, he shouldn't have said anything.

His mother was too protective of Olivia. She was just his so-called girlfriend now. If they actually ended up dating and even got married, his mother would scold him to no end because of her.

Just thinking about it made him tremble. Sam didn't say anything else.

"It's fine, Mrs. Sorrento. Let's go."

"Well."

Sam was the driver for the day, and Olivia had wanted to sit at the back. However, to her surprise, Emma opened the door of the front passenger seat for her.

She felt embarrassed but still went in and fastened her seat belt.

After the car drove out, Emma began nagging.

"Sam's cousin is only 25 this year. I heard he started dating his girlfriend when they were still in school, and they've been together for a few years; they're very much in love. They just got engaged last year, and they're already marrying today. Look at Sam. He's already so old. Why can't he learn

from his cousin?"

Olivia felt awkward about the topic as she was Sam's pretend girlfriend, and it seemed that Emma was urging them to marry.

When she was still thinking about how to answer, Sam frowned and said, "Mom, can we not talk about this."

Emma narrowed her eyes and said angrily, "What? Am I not your mother? Can't I criticize you?"

Marcus quickly nudged Emma, reminding her Olivia was in the car.

Emma understood immediately and smiled. "Ollie, don't worry. When you and Sam get married, I will definitely treat you well. If Sam dares to bully you, I will not spare him."

Olivia felt truly awkward. No wonder Sam said he would clear things up with his mother after the wedding. It turned out that she was in such a hurry. She probably had already secretly discussed their marriage with Sam, hadn't she?

Regardless, Olivia thought it was better that they clarified with their families. If she needed to go on blind dates, then so be it.

No big deal.

With that thought, Olivia just smiled coyly and did not say anything.

Emma didn't think much about it but only thought she was shy. She was quite pleased.

She was really worried about Sam not replaceing a girlfriend. However, to her surprise, he silently found a good-looking girlfriend. She thought he had truly made them proud. Moreover, Olivia was not just pretty; she had many good traits as well.

The car had been on the road for nearly two hours. When they stopped halfway to rest and eat, Olivia did feel too well, so she went to the washroom.

She dry-heaved for a long time, but nothing came out in the end.

In reality, she was somewhat

carsick, and she wanted to vomit but couldn't. If Emma and Marcus were not traveling with them, she would've asked Sam to stop halfway to let her rest.

But since they were present, she felt a little embarrassed as she was afraid they would think she was troublesome, so she endured it.

After dry-heaving for a long time, she

wanted to wash her face to freshen up. However, as soon as she turned on the faucet, she remembered putting on makeup that day. Ske then sighed helplessly and fixed her makeup before she left.

As soon as she stepped out, she saw a tall figure leaning against the door.

Sam?

Why was he here?

Olivia was bewildered. Sam raised his head; his gaze fell on her.

"Are you not feeling well?"

Although she had put on makeup, she looked obviously tired, and her face was pale.

Hearing that, Olivia shook her head and said, "I'm fine."

Sam frowned in displeasure. "Why didn't you say something earlier? I've been waiting here for five minutes."

Huh?

Had he waited for five minutes?

Then he would've heard her

dry-heave. Since the cat was out of the bag, then there was no reason for hento conceal anymore. She smiled and said, "Your parents are with us. It'd be a nuisance if I say it."

"What nuisance?" Sam frowned and said, "They like you, and you know that."

"Yeah, they like me, but you don't..."

Olivia mumbled toward the end of her words.

As Sam couldn't tell what she was saying, he frowned and asked, "What did you say?"

"Nothing." Olivia twitched her lips and said without a care, "I said, they like me, but I can't act spoiled. Right?"

Sam's brows were tightly knitted the entire time, recalling Olivia's words just now.

She seemed to have said, "They like me, but you don't."

Although he didn't hear the end of her words at all, that idea kept lingering in his mind.

However, he didn't think it'd be something Olivia would say.

She was not the type of person.

Was he overthinking?

"Expressing your discomfort doesn't make you sound spoiled, but acting as if you do, is."

"Fine, whatever you say. I'm fine now. Let's go out."

After that, Olivia walked past him, but he grabbed her hand.

When their palms touched, Olivia felt a shock and suddenly glared at him, wide-eyed. "What are you doing?"

Sam had only wanted to stop her but didn't expect to grab her hand. He instantly withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted under her stare. "Sorry." Olivia pursed her lips and looked at the hand he drew back. There seemed to be traces of his warmth left on her hand.

"It's okay. What's the matter?"

Sam had wanted to ask why she had been behaving weirdly lately. However, as they reached the tip of his tongue, they became "Nothing, let's go."

He then took the lead and walked in front of her.
