Eugene brought the Rogers siblings straight to Muse Paradise 60. Once inside, the three children changed into the slippers they brought over in a very disciplined manner.
He felt warm but also heartbroken while watching them. “Are you guys hungry? I’ll cook you some food if you are.”
The Rogers siblings exchanged glances before nodding in unison. It was undeniable that their father was a good cook, and they were indeed hungry after that incident. Eugene smiled. “Okay. You guys wait on the couch.”
After that, he went into the kitchen and boiled some water before cleaning out a room for the children. Half an hour later, the room was all cleaned, and the food was ready.
He learned to cook noodles from Olivia. Although he didn’t learn the essence of her skill, it was enough to deal with these little ones who had never had Olivia’s cooking. Looking at them happily scarfing down the food gave Eugene a huge sense of accomplishment.
Sometimes, he was grateful for his past because he learned a lot, especially cooking. That skill helped him win over his wife and four children.
After the meal, Eugene sent the children to their room and said goodnight to each of them. He then stood outside the door and thought it would be even better if North and Olivia were here too.
The next morning, Eugene didn’t head to Muse Paradise 59 because he wanted to make breakfast before bringing those two upstairs to eat. However, he didn’t expect to hear the doorbell ringing just as he placed the pot of congee on the stove.
He wondered who it would be so early in the morning. It couldn’t be his girlfriend because that lazybones wouldn’t wake up if he didn’t wake her.
While feeling puzzled, he arrived at the door and stood before the intercom screen, where he saw Azalea’s face. Why is she here? How does she know I live here? She’s here so early in the morning. Olivia might misunderstand if she sees this.
At this moment, he was glad about his wise choice to bring the Rogers siblings home with him last night. Since the doorbell was still ringing, he had to open the door. “Why are you here?”
Azalea was filled with resentment, but when she saw Eugene, she could not help but feel happy to discover that he wasn’t living with Olivia. “Eugene.” She spoke with a shy smile. “I was worried you might still be asleep.”
Eugene’s eyebrows were slightly furrowed, though. “Do you have any business being here so early in the morning?”
She nodded, and he asked, “What is it?” With a puzzled look, Azalea asked, “Are you going to let me stand here and talk?” Although Eugene didn’t want her to enter, he had no choice but to let her in. “Come in.” Azalea entered the room, smiling. “Are you living alone?”
Eugene gave her a vague reply. That reply made Azalea’s day, and she looked around the room. “Your house is so big. It must be nice to live on the top floor because you can overlook the outside.”
However, Eugene wasn’t in the mood to show her his home. His only thought was to know why she was here so early in the morning. “Come over and sit here!”
That didn’t diminish Azalea’s mood. She looked at a closed door and asked, “Eugene, which one of these doors leads to your room? Is it this one?” At this point, Eugene was feeling agitated. “No. Why are you here alone? Where’s Shannon?”
