Chapter 728 âOlivia, Iâll never let go of you, even if you have decided not to forgive me.â
Olivia did not have the energy to think about what he meant by that and did not want to respond. She remained silent.
When the train exited the haunted house, Sam noticed Oliviaâs red eyes and was worried.
âLady, what happened just now? Why are you crying?â
Olivia sniffled, and she wiped her tears with a piece of tissue. Then, she smiled and said, âIt was too scary inside. I was scared and cried.â
âYou didnât scream.â
To Sam, people would scream when they were afraid, but he did not hear Olivia scream.
âI was so scared I forgot to scream.â
To distract Samâs attention, she pointed to the cart ahead. âDo you want ice cream?â
Sam looked at her and nodded. âYes.â
Olivia took a few bucks and handed them to him. âGo and buy three ice creams. I want vanilla.â
âWhat about you, John?â
âThe same flavor as hers.â
âAlright. Iâll be right back.â
After Sam left to get the ice-creams, John sat beside Olivia. Seeing that she was not looking well, he knew that the dark environment in the cave must have reminded her of her previous bad experience.
âCheer up. Sam will notice.â
Olivia immediately squeezed out a smile upon hearing that. âDoes my expression look that ugly?â
John nodded. âYes.â
âI donât want to go to haunted houses anymore. Itâs not suitable for me.â
It was not the ghosts that scared her to death. It was the deepest fear in her mind.
John took out a business card and handed it to her. âYou can meet him when you are free.â
Olivia took the card and was startled upon seeing the word âpsychiatricâ on it. âWhy are you giving me this?â
âI know Ken is a psychiatrist, but this is Kenâs teacher. He is better than Ken.â
âI mean, why are you giving me this?â
John turned around to look at her, and the meaning behind his gaze was unpredictable. âI donât want you to live in fear all the time.
âJohn, stop all this if youâre doing it to make yourself feel better. Thereâs no need for you to introduce a psychiatrist to me.â
Olivia stuffed the business card back into his hand and wanted to go to Sam. However, John pulled her back.
âI know you blame me, but Iâm sincerely trying to help you.â
Olivia shook off his hand and snorted. âHeh! Forget it. I cannot make myself believe you are sincere whenever I think of our past.â
When the two were in an awkward state, Sam came back with three ice creams. âOlivia, John, here are the ice creams.â
Olivia took the ice cream. âWhat flavor did you buy?â
âVanilla.â
âYou took vanilla too?â
âYes. I felt we should get the same. It will be like our attire, and we will look like a family.â
Family...
Oliviaâs heart skipped a beat, and she bit her lips as she looked at Sam, saying nothing.
Suddenly, Sam grabbed her hand, walked to John, and asked, âCan you guys be my parents for a day today?â
Parents for a day?
Olivia looked at Sam with astonishment and at John in panic. She wanted to refuse, but when she saw the pleading look in Samâs eyes, her heart melted.
âCan you?â
Sam asked again.
While Olivia hesitated, John stood up and said, âSure. Since itâs your birthday, we will certainly fulfill your wishes.â
Sam grinned and said, âReally?â
He shook Oliviaâs arm. âLady, can you be my mommy for a day?â
Any further refusal would bring disappointment, so she could only say,â Yes, of course.â
âYay! I have a daddy and mommy today!â
In the past, she thought Sam was strong and mature, but he was still a kid after all.
He wanted nothing more than the love of his parents.
