"Didn't you get a lot of presents yesterday? So I don't think my gift is important" Olivia explained as she followed Alio. "And I can't afford to buy you an expensive gift either."
"Didn't the Foreign Ministry pay you?" ask Alio. "And who told you to buy me such an expensive gift?"
Hearing that, Olivia answered. "I actually bought you a birthday present, but—"
Olivia paused her sentence because there was no way she could tell Alio the truth if she had given it to Yuta.
"But what? Where's my present?" alio asked while observing Olivia's movements that looked very suspicious.
"I'll buy you another gift tomorrow, so—" replied Olivia trying to switch the conversation because she did not want the problem to be longer.
However, Alio cuts off Olivia's conversation, knowing that Olivia is trying to switch their conversation.
"No, I just want what you bought!" cut Alio while emphasizing each word with a sharp look.
"..." - ".Olivia was speechless right then and there.
"Mama, just give the gift to Papa! I'm sure Papa will love it!" timpal Olvi with his innocent expression.
Olvi did not know, if his words just now would make it difficult for the mother.
The encouragement of the son even made Olivia more dizzy. How can Olivia tell Alio the truth? However, the man's gaze forced Olivia to tell him the truth.
Olivia thought, it might be fine, if she told Alio the truth.
Yuta saved Olivia's life, he deserves something more than a shirt.
"I gave it to Yuta" Olivia answered honestly.
Alio's world shook right then and there, after hearing Olivia's reply.
Unlike Olvi who failed to understand the meaning of the words of the mother.
"Ohh, is that also Om Yuta's birthday? Then, what about Papa's gift, Ma?" ask Olvi plain.
This is the reason why I didn't want to tell her, Olivia's inner self then let out a long sigh.
As they walk together, Alio sulks and he silences Olivia who sometimes tries to talk to him.
Olivia gives up persuading the sulking Alio after being rejected several times.
Then, Alio left with Olvi leaving Olivia with a cold face.
The hardest thing for Olivia to understand is ... Alio who sulked at him and got tired of the crowd here. But ... Why does the man keep following her?
Olivia arrived at the crab area because Olvi said she wanted to eat crabs.
So, Olivia bought a crab and planned to cook it tonight.
"This is your crab, ma'am," said the seller and handed Olivia a plastic bag containing crabs.
"Thank you" Olivia replied kindly upon receiving the plastic bag she was given.
"Aw!" olivia screams as her finger is punctured by a sharp crab shell while trying to justify the crab-filled plastic bag.
"Why, Ma?" asked Olvi directly with an anxious look.
Then, Alio rushed to Olivia before the woman could even answer her son's question.
