Chapter 114 What Is He Doing Here?
Olivia laughed awkwardly at his remark. “Forget it. It’s such a hassle to find a boyfriend!”
A slight frown appeared between Eugene’s brows. “How much of a hassle can it be?”
She was puzzled, looking at him. “It’s like how you’re not looking for a girlfriend. I’m doing just fine with North, so why would I need another person to bring some changes into our lives? Only because I need him to cook for me? If that’s the reason, I can always hire a chef. However, if I get a boyfriend, I’ll have to worry about how he feels—not to mention his interests and hobbies, and I’ll even have to worry about his loyalty toward me. It’s totally not worth it!”
Eugene was speechless; it seemed like he was fighting a losing battle!
North was also speechless; it seemed like his Daddy was fighting a losing battle!
He paused for a while before answering, “You’re only thinking like this because you haven’t found a man who has moved you!”
Olivia was indifferent. “I guess so! I just feel like love is a gamble with only a ten percent chance of winning and I don’t want to make the same mistake twice. Humans have a high level of intelligence. After all, we should know how to learn from our lessons!”
Eugene gave a slight smile at her words. “The mistake isn’t love itself, but who you spend it on. You decided to spend it on the wrong person, which caused your perception of love to be distorted, but not all men are bad. We have to allow ourselves to make mistakes and not let it stop us from going forward. There is no love without the bittersweet ups and downs!”
“If there was no love, then there wouldn’t be any bittersweet ups and downs to worry about!”
Eugene was defeated. Olivia was a tough fighter in the game of debates, causing him to be out of ideas to rebut her arguments.
North was vigorously following their conversation, turning his head left and right as they both stated their points—one after another. After all, what they concluded on would determine whether he would have a daddy or not.
“Is that even love? Love means missing the person as soon as they leave your side and not being able to concentrate all day until you get to see them. When you do, you become so happy. It’s that kind of uncontrollable attraction that you feel for them!” Eugene finally retorted.
Olivia stared at him with curiosity. “Such a thorough explanation, huh. I guess you’ve already known love.”
Eugene was slightly taken aback. “Yeah, I have! But after hearing it from you, I’m starting to feel a little unsure about that.”
The corner of her lips twitched. What have I done? I can’t be the one to ruin someone else’s emotion with my opinion, can I?
She had no idea that the person whom Eugene meant could have been her; instead, she tried to encourage him.
“To be honest, this is really just my two cents. Love is different for everyone and you’ll only know when you’ve experienced it. Everything is well as long as they’re both happy!”
She was initially worried that North would babble and cause Eugene to misunderstand. The little brat could now finally give up since Eugene already had someone else whom he was interested in.
Instead, North’s eyes brightened as he looked at Eugene. Who is my daddy talking about? Don’t tell me it’s my mommy?
However, Eugene’s expression remained nonchalant. “You’re right. I’m very happy, but I haven’t told her yet. I’m not sure how she feels about me!”
Olivia agreed half-heartedly and said, “I can’t help you on this. After all, everyone thinks differently, but for someone like you, there can’t be many women who would reject you, right?”
“She has a unique personality and doesn’t care about money. I’m worried that my confession would ruin our relationship, so I’ll just leave it as it is for now.”
She nodded. “That’s good, too. It’s better to gauge the progress yourself.”
Eugene studied her with his deep eyes. This woman isn’t interested in me at all. If it wasn’t for that and she had feelings for me, she can’t be as oblivious as this.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang, which startled him as he immediately turned to Olivia. “You guys should eat. I’ll go and take a look.”
When Eugene saw Nathan looking back at him behind the peeping hole, his eyes widened in surprise. What is he doing here? No! How did he know that I’m here?
He turned and said to Olivia, “Oh, it’s my assistant.”
Then, he opened the door.
