George looked up at her coldly. Feeling guilty for some reason, Olivia said, “I was just asking. Are you hungry? Let me cook a meal for you.”
George let out a snort. “Forget it. Can you even cook?” he replied, standing up before entering the kitchen right away.
Seeing him like this, Olivia grew even more suspicious. This was way better than she had imagined. Even if he didn’t fly back to his country in a temper, she thought he would’ve shut himself in the room and refused to see her ever again. And now, he was still willing to make food for her despite being pissed off? This was so unexpected!
After exchanging a brief look with Jewel, she raised her eyebrows in surprise. Then, she hurried to the kitchen and asked ingratiatingly, “What are you doing, George? Let me help you.”
George gave her a look of disgust. “You can help by not doing anything.” Olivia was speechless. “Hey, that’s mean! I’d have no problem washing vegetables.”
George’s lips curved into a smile. “Wash this, then.” Olivia smiled. Taking the vegetables from him, she began rinsing them under the tap.
Jewel was relieved after exchanging a brief
look with North outside. Seems like it’s been
solved amicably.
North, however, knitted his brows. Why doesn’t Uncle George seem angry at all? Could Daddy have promised him something? After excusing himself from Jewel, he returned to his room and texted Eugene on his phone. ‘Where are you?’
‘Home.’
‘Why did you leave?’ ‘I already stole your mom from him, so I’m not gonna argue with him for the time being. We’ll have a lot of opportunities to get along in the future, anyway.”
North smiled happily at the man’s reply. ‘So, you’re not worried that Uncle George might steal Mommy away?” ‘I have you, no? Thank you for today, son..
‘I won’t help you anymore if you do this again.”
‘Not anymore. ‘Daddy, I want to tell you something, but you have to keep it a secret.”
“What is it?”
‘Do you know why Uncle George came here this time? He’s actually asked me to help find out where Carter and others are!
Eugene was lounging at first, but he sat up the moment he saw this. He hurriedly asked, ‘Why would he want to find out about them?”
North replied, ‘I don’t know. It seems like he’s doing so for someone else.
‘Did you tell him?” ‘No, I told him I needed some time, so I want to ask you what to do. They’re all your sons, after all. Eugene also sank into deep thought. ‘Does your mom know about this?’
North pondered for a moment before texting. back, ‘I don’t think so. I haven’t had the opportunity to tell her yet.”
Eugene asked, ‘Does your Uncle George know a little about Carter and others’ parentage? North replied, ‘I don’t know.’ Eugene texted, ‘I’ll phone your mom tonight to ask her about it.”
North texted back, ‘OK’ After ending the WhatsApp conversation with North, Eugene completely lost himself in. thought. Why is George looking for Carter and others? Or did he just come here on purpose to ask North for help?
In the end, he waited until night to call Olivia, thinking that they might have retired to their respective rooms to go to bed. “Are you asleep already?”
Olivia replied, “Not yet. I was just about to call you. What did you say to George?” “What’s the matter? Did he blow up at you?”
“No, he didn’t, which is why I find it strange.” “I just reasoned with him and made a comparison between your feelings for me and your feelings for him. Perhaps he came around to it on his own.”
The more Olivia listened, the more a bad feeling grew in her. “How did you make the comparison?”
