After a while, Eugene could finally put a face to the unknown woman that Olivia was referring to. “Is it the person North approached and spoke to at the Mi Amor?”
“Yes, that’s her.” Then, he chuckled and said, “It seems like my son has quite the talent for playing Cupid.”
They were still immersed in their conversation when Curtis made an appearance. Olivia only managed to wrangle her mind into thinking about Nathan’s situation once she was in the car. So, she turned and asked Eugene, “Do you think that something would happen to Nathan?”
Eugene inquired, “What do you mean?”
Since she was also unsure about it herself, she simply replied, “If nothing has happened, why didn’t he show up today?”
He mused, “Maybe the party hasn’t ended yet? Or… perhaps he failed to hold his liquor. It doesn’t matter what the situation is, but if you are worried, I can arrange for him to meet you privately tomorrow.”
Olivia frowned, wondering if this was how an uncle should behave.
“I’m not bothered by his lack of attendance to our little get-together. I’m just worried that something might have happened to him. Even if the party hasn’t ended or he had too much to drink, why is his phone switched off?”
Eugene also couldn’t help but frown at that. Still, maybe he was currently utterly content with his lot in life as he genuinely thought that there was really no need to worry over his nephew like this. The boy was a man grown, after all. “Come on, what kind of trouble could he possibly get into in front of his parents? You are overthinking things because of Nathan and Halma’s relationship. They are not kids anymore. They can handle things on their own. Today is our wedding day, so you should focus more on us.”
Then, he seized the moment to lean in and pecked her on the lips. Meanwhile, Curtis, who was still there, was rendered speechless.
Sure, he knew that the president and his wife were affectionate. However, this was the first time they ever flaunted their love for one another when the soundproof barrier was lowered.
Truly, they could be a little more considerate to little old him. Yes, he should keep his eyes on the road, but he needed to check the rearview mirror from time to time too!
Besides, although he was well aware that he should focus on driving, his sense of curiosity certainly had no compunctions on making its presence known in his brain. That was mainly why he would risk taking a quick look through the rearview mirror like a weirdo.
And then…
The soundproof barrier gradually rose, completely blocking his view. Curtis pursed his lips now that the show was over. There, he could finally focus on driving without worrying that he’d get distracted in the process.
On the other hand, Olivia was feeling dizzy from Eugene’s kisses. At this moment, whatever things that were bothering her had already been cast aside and forgotten.
As a result, she leaned against his chest while she made herself comfortable in his embrace as she said with a pout, “I’m tired.”
She was probably about to drift off to sleep as her voice sounded lazy. Frankly, she sounded like a sleepy cat. This was one of the few occasions where she would relax enough to use such an adorable. tone with him.
Thus, it made Eugene extremely happy to be on the receiving end of such a gift. He held Olivia in his strong arms as he coaxed her tenderly, “Alright, go ahead and sleep. I’ll wake you up when we arrive.”
She hummed absentmindedly, snuggled in his arms, and fell asleep peacefully.
Once they arrived home, he didn’t bother waking her up. Instead, he made sure to carry her upstairs and tuck her into bed..
By the time he had placed her on the soft bed, he was covered in sweat. Of course, he wasn’t exhausted from carrying her. He was actually weary from resisting his little wife’s charms. Even though he desired her, he wasn’t going to wake her up just to help him with his problem.
This was an experience that he hadn’t experienced. He had to admit that his urges had gotten stronger after having a taste of her.
Now that he had gotten a taste of the forbidden. fruit, how would he still be willing to return to a life without it?
In all honesty, it was a good and honest miracle that he had succeeded in not disturbing Olivia’s sleep.
Eugene couldn’t help but pity himself as he gazed at the peacefully slumbering Olivia. He sighed wearily as he wouldn’t be able to experience the joy of intimacy, especially on such a wonderful day. This was their wedding day, and he wouldn’t be able to enjoy it to the fullest with her.
Regardless, he knew he had no other choice but to endure it. After all, he loved her with all his soul-she and the little baby in his wife’s belly that everyone was eagerly waiting for.
Therefore, he could only swallow his grievances for now. Naturally, he was going to make her compensate him twice once the baby was born. He was still a businessman, after all.
In the end, his wandering mind only made things more difficult for him. Just as he was about to lose control, he carefully lay on the bed beside her and gently placed his hand on her body while he once again kissed her.
Yet, he immediately ceased all movement when he noticed Olivia frowning uncomfortably. Finally, he gently pressed a soft kiss on her forehead and whispered, “Hush now. I won’t bother you anymore.”
Then, he slowly rolled himself off the bed and went straight to the bathroom to relieve himself.
