Olivia’s brows shot up in surprise. “Our room?” Eugene nodded firmly. “Ours.” She pouted at that. “Since when did I say I’l share a room with you?”
He retorted, “How are you supposed to take care of me if we don’t share a room?” She glared at him. “When we were in the hospital, you mentioned you had servants to look after you.”
Her comeback left him speechless. That’s right. I said it myself and I can’t deny it. She’s indeed wise.
“There’s only one room on the third floor. Where are you supposed to sleep if you don’t share a room with me?” Olivia stared at him. Her face was showing her doubts. “You don’t have an extra bedroom on the third floor?” Eugene put on a straight face as he announced, “Nope.”
“Then I’ll share a room with North.” Eugene’s expression was calm as he commented, “Sharing a room with North will make the triplets jealous, Children who lack love from their parents can get very sensitive about the topic:”
Olivia glanced at him and coldly remarked, “Then I have no choice but to leave for Muse Peninsula. Tell me, are you starting to get tired of the mother of the boys?”
She shot him a challenging look. Her antics made Eugene speechless. “Competing with the children? Are you for real?”
She harrumphed in response. “Then why isn’t there a room for me in this villa? Admit it! I’m not welcome here!” Eugene stared at her and stated with a serious expression, “Can’t you tell I’m trying to put us in the same room?”
Olivia rolled her eyes at him. “You’re shameless, aren’t you? When did I agree to share a room with you?” At that, he replied in a sad tone, “We have been together for almost a year and we even have four children. After the hardships we have been through, we deserve a happy ending.”
Olivia fixed him with a hard stare and pouted. You just got rid of your admirer today. You can’t even guarantee that she will give up in the future! What makes you think we have finally come to a happy ending? Eugene Nolan, don’t be so full of yourself!”
He was taken aback. She’s right. I was inconsiderate. I thought that after Azalea gave up on me, I can peacefully live a happy life with Olivia. I forgot to put myself in her shoes. Olivia can’t possibly move on as if nothing had ever happened. Besides, I put myself in danger for another woman, but Olivia has to look after me in the end. She doesn’t deserve such kind of nonsense.
Holding Olivia’s hand in his, Eugene murmured,” I’m sorry, Olivia. I’m getting ahead of myself. It’s just that learning the four kids are ours made me think we’re destined to be together. My impulsiveness and expectation got the best of me. I’m just looking forward to living with you guys. It’s my first time loving a woman. I’ve made mistakes and sometimes hesitated when I had to make decisions, and my behavior hurt you. But I promise to change from now on. Will you give me a chance to compensate for your loss for the rest of my life?”
At that, he pulled her into his arms and rested his forehead against hers. Olivia felt a pang of sadness within her. He blames himself for making mistakes and hesitating during decision-making, but I’m not any better than him. Back when George was visiting, I also wronged Eugene like what I accused him for.
Olivia felt a burden lifting off her shoulders at the thought. We have each other and four sons. All four of them are geniuses. He’s overjoyed with the fact, just like I am, or else he wouldn’t have asked to leave the hospital and come home when he hasn’t recovered. I shouldn’t waste my time fighting with him over a small matter.
However, Olivia wasn’t the kind of person who would back down from a confrontation. Even though she changed her mind, her words suggested otherwise. “Fine. We can share a room, but I have conditions.”
Eugene’s eyes shone in anticipation when he heard that. He was almost losing hope, but her words made him overjoyed. His lips curled into a smile. “All right. Let’s talk in the room.”
