Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Sam didn't look quite right; his emotion was clearly showing it.

Olivia was initially wearing a smile, but when she saw Sam's expression, confusion overcame her. She asked, "What's wrong? Your friend just wanted you to attend her wedding. Why do you have such a look on your face? Are you on bad terms with the couple?"

Olivia's questions jolted Sam back to his senses. He pursed his lips and did not answer.

"Why won't you say anything?" Olivia walked to him, and she squinted in suspicion as she sized his expression, wanting to say more.

But then, Sam asked, "How long has she been gone?"

Taken aback, she replied after a while, "About twenty minutes, I think."

Twenty minutes?

It was definitely too late to chase after her now. Sam furrowed his eyebrows, silent.

Olivia finally had a guess at his strange behavior. She stared into Sam's eyes, and the smile in her eyes gradually faded.

"The girl who sent the wedding invitation was petite and quite attractive."

Hearing that, Sam's frown deepened.

Seeing his reaction, Olivia was sure of her conjecture. She snorted and asked, "She's the woman in your heart, isn't she?"

Her words finally made Sam come to a realization. He regained his composure and looked at Olivia. When he saw the absolute chill in Olivia's eyes, Sam realized he had committed a foolish blunder. "I..." He stammered, wanting to say something, but Olivia shoved the wedding invitation to him, then walked into the bedroom and slammed the door shut.

Bang!

The loud noise rang through the building. Sam couldn't help but frown. After a moment, he lowered his head and looked at the invitation card in his hand. He reluctantly put it back on the table, deciding to put the groceries in the kitchen first.

When he came out after sorting out the groceries, he realized the door remained shut. Olivia hadn't come out since she went in.

He wanted to explain, but to his dismay, he twisted the doorknob only to find the door locked from the inside.
