Chapter 167 Confession
Olivia broke away from his gaze anxiously while she started blaming herself. What are you freaking out about?
She coughed softly before explaining awkwardly, “I… I drank too much the other day, so you… You shouldn’t mind what I said to you.”
Her words surprised Eugene, for this was his first time seeing Olivia acting so timidly. Leaning against the door frame, he was blocking the entrance so that she couldn’t enter.
Of course, Olivia wouldn’t leave without her son.
Hence, the two of them just stood by the door.
“What… did you say? Do you think I would mind?”
The man’s lazy and teasing voice rang past her ears.
Olivia was speechless.
How would I know?
Um…
To be honest, she’d probably feel bad if she told him that she didn’t know.
Taking a deep breath, Olivia felt like it was best if she told him everything clearly. She couldn’t stand this man’s weird attitude toward her any longer.
Olivia looked serious as she stared at him. “It’s not that I don’t want to buy you candy. However, that’s the last box left at the shop, and I just thought that your brother might need it more than you do. I mean, since he always faints, isn’t it right? I didn’t think too much into it, and I just wanted you to send it because I wanted to help you two to get closer. I didn’t mean to make you angry.”
She had actually explained it right in front of him in a gentle tone. I just wanted you to send it because I wanted to help you two to get closer. I didn’t mean to make you angry.
It seemed like she saw right through their relationship.
What else could Eugene say? If it weren’t for him being afraid that he might scare Olivia, he would have pulled her into his embrace and kissed her. Why was Olivia so adorable?!
Eugene’s lips twitched upward. “North fell asleep.”
“What?”
Olivia still hadn’t come back to her senses after being dumbfounded by Eugene’s uplifted smile. How did this man’s attitude just change completely? Didn’t he look like someone had owed him a few billion just now?
Why did he suddenly smile? Oh gosh, this is so weird.
“Oh. Can you please wake him up? I’ll bring him home.”
However, Eugene kept staring at her blankly as if just looking at her wasn’t enough.
Faced with the man’s gaze, Olivia was speechless. She suddenly felt like this man had lost his sanity. Why is he staring at me and grinning so stupidly?
“W-Why don’t I go wake him up instead?” Olivia frowned as she wanted to walk to the room.
However, the man remained rooted to the ground as he continued staring at her.
Olivia’s temper flared at that as she glared at the man. “Eugene, what are you trying to do?”
Eugene smiled. Look! It is rare for this woman to be this gentle. This is the real her.
“Why don’t you call me Mr. Nolan anymore?”
Olivia took a deep breath before she taunted, “Honorifics are for people who are worth respecting.”
Finding her reason amusing, Eugene chuckled. So did that mean that he wasn’t worth being respected? Whatever. It wasn’t like he wanted her to use honorifics on him. He felt closer to her without the honorifics after all.
“I want to ask you a question. I’ll wake North up for you after you answer me.”
Olivia sighed in relief. He’s finally acting normal.
“Sure. What is it?”
Eugene’s gaze was heated as he stared at her with glistening eyes. “If you could have a boyfriend who doesn’t need you to care about him, to be worried about him cheating, to cook, appreciates you, and doesn’t limit you, would you accept him?”
Olivia blinked in confusion. Then, she blinked again. Is this man confessing to me?
“Well… You… Am I understanding this right?”
Eugene nodded. “Yes! I’m confessing to you, Olivia. I want to be your boyfriend! I don’t need you to take care of me. Instead, I’ll take care of you!”
Oh my God!
Olivia suddenly felt like she couldn’t breathe as her limbs froze and her mind went blank. Then, her body started going numb as she felt her legs giving up while her heart raced up, all of those followed by a series of stimulated reactions.
