That was… Brian.. No, there seemed to be a woman too, but it was hard to see clearly as she was so far away. Her figure was the only thing that distinguished her as female.
Moreover, Brian had already gotten the person into the car within a few seconds. Olivia immediately became curious and asked Eugene, “Did Brian get a girlfriend?”
Eugene’s expression remained secretive as he merely replied, “I haven’t a clue.” She pressed for more, “Did you see what the woman looked like? How old was she?”
He shook his head, saying, “Nope.”
She stared at him with her little gloomy face as she grumbled, “Is that how you talk to your wife? I haven’t a clue? Nope?”
He immediately snapped back to his senses and finally caught a glimpse of Olivia’s angry face. So, he quickly put on a placating smile as it was true that he had indeed been absent- minded earlier.
“No, I really didn’t see who it was. I was just curious; it’s been years since Brian ever got close to any woman. This is the only woman who had actually gotten into his car. Even if she is not his girlfriend, she’s probably important to him, right?”
Olivia merely sized the man up and decided to forget it. She would not make a big deal out of such a trivial matter with a man.
Actually, her curiosity had won over the little annoyance she was feeling. So, she truly could not be bothered to argue with him at the moment.
Thus, she asked again, “If you did not see her face, you would have at least noticed her height and body shape. Meanwhile, I didn’t even get to see anything.” Eugene thought it over for a moment as he said hesitantly, “She is of average height and not fat…”
She interrupted, “So, she is neither fat nor thin?”
He looked at her as he was stunned and nodded. “Yes.” Olivia raised her hand in frustration and was about to slap him. “Yes? Is that how you describe someone?”
Eugene looked confused but instinctively grabbed her hand as it came towards him, saying in a soothing tone, “Hey, there’s no need for violence! Let me maintain some of my dignity in front of our daughter. What will she think of her dad if she sees this?” He finished speaking and kissed her hand gently.
Olivia was rendered speechless as she withdrew her hand. “It’s your fault for not managing your own image. Where have all those years you have spent studying gone? How could you use medium height and average weight to describe someone?”
Eugene chuckled. “Well, she really does not seem tall or short.”
When he saw that she was about to lose her temper again, he hastily added, “Well, it’s not my fault that I don’t have a good reference available.”
She stood up straight, retorting hotly, “I am standing here right in front of you. You should at least know how I look compared to her.”
Eugene held her hand and snorted disdainfully. “Who could ever come close to my wife? Wouldn’t that be akin to asking for a round of humiliation?”
Olivia fell silent at his ridiculous words. Although his response did not make sense and his sweet talk sounded a bit cheesy, she found it surprisingly pleasant.
She could not help but smile and soften her tone, saying, “When did you have such a silver tongue? I just wanted to know if she is the girl I know. Geez, all this talking and you haven’t even given me anything useful.”
Eugene looked at Olivia, who had calmed down, and secretly sighed in relief. His wife’s temper was getting worse lately. Still, he wasn’t in the business of aggravating a pregnant woman, especially when that woman was his wife.
Therefore, he continued, “I have to admit, she looks relatively young.” Olivia’s eyes lit up again. “Is she around eighteen or nineteen years old?”
Eugene nodded. “Yes.”
She excitedly blurted, “Could she be the girl I know? Remember the girl I was holding hands with when we were roller skating?”
He thought for a moment. “The first time we went roller skating together?”
Olivia answered affirmatively, “Yes, don’t you remember a gaggle of students holding onto each other while they were skating? She accidentally held on to me. Does that woman look like that girl?”
Eugene nodded. “She does resemble her a bit.”
She happily exclaimed, “That girl is the one North wanted to introduce Brian to!”
