North secretly glanced at Eugene’s dark expression with a happy grin on his youthful face. As speechless as Olivia was, she couldn’t help but smile. The Rogers siblings were truly Eugene’s nemesis. Brian, on the other hand, wasn’t as kind to his brother. He immediately burst out laughing upon hearing this.
“Alas, the hardships you endure are directly proportional to the blessings you get to enjoy. Everything is the way it is for a reason.” Ever since he found out that triplets were his older brother’s children, he truly felt envious, jealous, and resentful.
Eugene was too unbelievably fortunate. While Brian was by himself, Eugene, who was only three years older than Brian, not only had Olivia and North but also magically gained three more sons. What was most infuriating was that all four children were incredibly clever.
How could Brian not feel jealous about such at combination? Now that he saw the four little ones treating Eugene as if he were invisible, he suddenly felt a lot better on the inside.
So, it seems the blessings he receives are proportional to the troubles he has to endure! Right at this heartwarming moment, Ellen brought Azalea in.
The four little ones no longer had the playful demeanor they had as soon as they saw Azalea. As if they had rehearsed it countless times, they silently stood in front of Eugene and Olivia, their little faces solemn and their eyes staring fiercely at Azalea.
Olivia’s expression also turned cold. She looked at Azalea and stated, “Didn’t you understand what I said last night?”
Ellen hurriedly approached and grabbed Olivia’s hand to calm her down. “Olivia, don’t be angry. She came to my place today because she was concerned about Eugene’s condition. I decided to bring her here.”
Olivia glanced at Ellen in surprise. Azalea has already won over Eugene’s mother’s heart? She then sneered, “You went to Mrs. Nolan because you knew I would never let you see Eugene, huh? You really don’t know when to stop!”
Azalea hurriedly came over to explain herself. “I have no ulterior motives. Since Eugene got hurt because of me, I just wanted to take a look at him! Don’t be so hostile toward me!”
North snorted at that. “What kind of attitude do you expect from us, then?” Carter crossed his arms and scoffed. “Exactly! We haven’t even settled the score with you, but here you are, showing up in front of us of your own accord.”
Blake narrowed his eyes. “You better get out of our sight right now.” “Or get ready to face the consequences!” Terry menacingly echoed. As Olivia looked at how united the children were against a common enemy, she was truly surprised and amazed even though she had heard about it from Eugene before.
If even Olivia realized this, there was no way Ellen, Brian, and Shannon didn’t notice how shockingly cooperative the children were with one another.
With how each of them spoke up calmly and defended their stance, they were completely different from how they were just a moment ago when they were confronting Eugene. Eugene was elated. He knew they had his back.
Just like Olivia, they were stubborn and too proud to admit the fact that they had accepted him deep down. Looking at how they defended him now, no one would believe it if he told them that the boys were not his sons. Azalea turned to Ellen with a pleading gaze. “Mrs. Nolan…”
Ellen felt a little hesitant as her gaze flickered between Azalea, the four children, and Olivia. Aside from not wanting to upset her daughter-
in-law, she was worried she would upset her grandchildren if she forcefully intervened and spoke up for Azalea. After weighing the situation, Ellen hesitantly said to Azalea, “Uh… You should go. As you can see, Eugene is fine.”
Hearing that, Azalea cast a sorrowful look at Eugene. After thinking for a moment, Eugene uttered, “Olivia, would you please bring my mother and the children out? I want to have a private conversation with Azalea.”
