Chapter 111 I Overestimated You!
“Who are they embarrassing when they continuously go against her in such dumb and brazen manners?” Eugene pointed out.
Alex seemed to be determined to force him to reveal his true colors. He raised an eyebrow and continued, “Do you really think it’s because you feel embarrassed by them? Don’t you have any other thoughts?”
His question was met with Eugene’s annoyance as he shot a side glare. “Don’t you have anything better to do? Why are you harping about this here?”
“I’m just asking. I might woo her if you’re not interested.”
Eugene glared at Alex as he bossily said, “Don’t you dare!”
That caused Alex to laugh as he finally managed to expose the other man’s true intentions. “Look at how stingy you are with her. How can you say that you aren’t interested? You’ve revealed your true intentions now, haven’t you?”
Eugene no longer tried to defend himself as he calmly said, “Do you think others find you annoying?”
Alex was not troubled by the other man’s teases and wore an inquisitive look as he asked, “Hey, do you really like her, huh? You don’t mind being the child’s stepfather?”
What stepfather? I’m his biological father, Eugene thought in his heart. However, his expression did not reveal anything as he said, “Tell those people not to find fault with her. The next time it happens, I’m not going to hold back merely because of the fact that we grew up together.”
Alex only shook his head as he clicked his tongue and sighed. “It’s true love; there’s no doubt about that. Tell me, how far have you guys gone? Have you guys slept together?”
“Do you think I have the same character as you?” Eugene asked with a frown.
Again, Alex did not mind the other man’s words as he said, “Alright, my bad. I’ve overestimated you, but you’ve at least kissed her, right?”
Eugene remained silent.
With an inquisitive gaze, Alex continued, “Hugs? Holding hands?”
Eugene still remained silent.
With an exaggerated motion, Alex leaned himself and shouted, “Dude! Are you trying to date by merely using your subconscious thoughts?”
His words earned him another huge eye roll from Eugene. “Do you think that she’s like all the numerous women that you have?”
Between his long sighs and pitiful shakes of his head, Alex exclaimed, “I have really overestimated you!” He then wore a cocky expression before he asked, “What is it now? Shall I teach you some tricks? I’m a grand master in comparison to you when it comes to communicating with women!”
“You’re teaching me based on your experiences with relationships that have no emotional bonds?” Eugene gave him a look of disdain.
The other man gently laughed, saying, “Why does that matter? Wouldn’t it be useful if I simply taught you tricks that will guide you on how to get the girl?”
“Fine, tell me!” Eugene reluctantly replied.
Alex laughed as it was rare to see his friend being compliant and obedient. “Olivia is an independent woman. She has a great personality since she isn’t a gold-digger; she doesn’t need a man and she’s really smart. It’s indeed hard to get a girl like her!”
Although Eugene was secretly pleased to hear his friend’s praises of her, he simply said, “Cut to the chase.”
“Please pay to access the remaining content!” Alex said leisurely.
With a glare, Eugene threatened, “Do you really believe that I’m afraid to kick you out of the place?”
Chuckling, Alex said, “It’s generally hard to get someone like her to become warm and expressive to another person as she seems to be a princess of ice. However, you can always start with the people around her, such as her son. Regardless of whether he’s her biological or stepson, having a good relationship with the young boy is going to help a lot with your case.”
“You don’t say.”
Alex clicked his tongue in annoyance before he continued with his words. “It seems like you’re not utterly hopeless, but let me give you a few more pointers. Different women need to be treated differently—someone as careful and inscrutable as Olivia can be considered as one who’s hard to approach. That makes her similar to you as both of you aren’t the type to compromise on your ideals or settle with something that isn’t perfect. You can’t be too forceful or direct with a person like that; you need to be slow and delicate as you edge forward with her. Of course, I’m not telling you to remain stagnant without taking any action. It would still be good to pull a trick or two when the right time comes. To look for the perfect level of intimacy with her, you’ll really have to gauge the dynamics between you two. Make sure that you’re able to get close enough to take advantage of her without actually turning her off in the process, okay?”
“It’s almost like you didn’t say anything at all.”
Alex was annoyed by that stage. “Tsk, all these are useful pointers that can teach you about creating affection and intimacy between two people, you know. It’s the art of being able to create accidental interactions between one another without intentionally doing so. Don’t you understand what I’m trying to say?”
