Chapter 166 Selfish
Eugene replied, “Yeah!” Then, he hung up on Olivia.
Olivia felt perplexed as she stared at her home screen. He’s probably still mad at me, huh?
Maybe he only contacted her because he wanted to let her know that North was at his house. Of course, it was possible that he only asked if she was coming back because North was disturbing him from getting his rest, so he wanted her to pick up the child as soon as possible.
While Olivia was still overthinking, she suddenly heard soft sobbings. It turned out that Kate was secretly crying. She would always use alcohol as a method to vent every time she was sad.
However, alcohol couldn’t just numb a person forever. All it could do was help subdue one’s pain temporarily.
Olivia reached out to pull Kate into her embrace before whispering, “It’s okay to cry.”
Although Kate didn’t say anything, her tears continued pouring out as she remained silent.
Olivia brought her back to her house, for she was too worried to let Kate go home on her own, seeing how drunk she was.
When they got home, Olivia helped Kate to wash up and change into something comfortable. After putting her to bed, Olivia headed upstairs to Eugene’s.
On the 60th floor.
“Are you angry at Mommy?” North titled his head as he asked with an unhappy tone.
Eugene sighed deeply. “I’m not.”
He wasn’t angry, and he also didn’t blame Olivia for placing Brian first. Deep inside, he also felt like Brian was more suitable for her.
However, he knew that Olivia was the woman that he was searching for after knowing what happened seven years ago. How could I just let her go?
Eugene suddenly felt bad for being selfish, but he’d always thought that he could let go of everything for his little brother. However, he didn’t want to give Olivia to him at all. Even though he knew that it was dangerous for her to be around him, he still didn’t want to let go of her.
Eugene really hated himself for being like this.
North stared right at him. “Are you not happy?”
However, Eugene couldn’t just tell the kid that he felt like his mother didn’t like him.
After pondering for a moment, North spoke up again, “My mommy doesn’t like anyone at all.” Then, he added again, “She only likes me.”
Eugene smiled wryly. Ugh… what should I do? I can’t hold on any longer.
I want Olivia to fall in love with me! I want to confess to her, and I want to tell her that I had already been searching for her for so long!
“I want to tell your mommy the truth.”
North commented nonchalantly, “You can’t force Mommy.”
Faced with the child’s reply, Eugene gave him a look. “What if your mommy falls in love with another person?”
North gave Eugene a disdainful look. “Work harder, then. Do you want me to call another person Daddy?”
Eugene was rendered speechless.
Ding dong!
Eugene paused when the doorbell rang as both of them stared at each other. Soon, North motioned for him to be quiet. “Just say that I fell asleep here.” Then, he ran into the room.
Eugene’s heart softened at the sight of the small figure who had always supported him. Why was his son so adorable?!
After composing his emotions, Eugene went to get the door. When he saw the person standing in front of the door, he couldn’t help but scan her up and down. Olivia was wearing a white knitted top paired with black shorts without any outerwear. Ah, I see, she’s wearing the sandals I gave her.
The way she dressed up to chill at home was very different from her usual outfits, and it made her seem so much more approachable.
Olivia looked soft and adorable, making Eugene feel like someone just punched his heart.
Olivia explained awkwardly, “I’m sorry. I was held back by something just now. Where’s North?”
However, Eugene continued staring blankly at her. His gaze was calming and dark, like a magnetic well that would lure one into its trap if one weren’t careful enough.
