Just as Olivia had expected, Sam was completely dry when he got home.

The main lights in the house had been switched off, leaving a dim yellow lamp still on in the corner, illuminating the entire space. In the past, only darkness greeted him whenever he came back from working overtime, but ever since Olivia moved in, no matter how late he worked, there would at least be a faint light when he opened the door.

Although it was a dim yellow light, it acted as a pathway leading Sam home in the middle of the night.

Sam took off his suit jacket and put it on the sofa.

The sound of a door opening could be heard.

The bedroom door suddenly opened. Olivia came out, rubbing her eyes, bleary. "You're back? What time is it?"

"It's midnight. Why are you up?"

Sam frowned when he saw her clothes. Olivia had probably just crawled out of bed because she only had her pajamas on. She didn't like thick pajamas to bed, so even in the winter, she would wear the thin pajamas that were meant for autumn and spring.

Moreover, she came out barefooted, not wearing any socks at all.

"C'mon, go back to bed. You'll catch a cold."

Olivia had awoken to go to the bathroom, and she happened to hear some noise outside, so she wanted to greet him before going back to bed. But now, hearing Sam's words, she was rather touched. After all, he had worked until late at night, yet he was still concerned about her wellbeing. That meant this b*stard still cared about her, didn't it?

Olivia was a little moved, and then she said, "Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"

Hearing that, Sam frowned even more and asked, "You're going to cook wearing only this?"

"You dummy, of course, I'll wear a jacket."
