Chapter 169 Restless
Pursing her lips without saying a word, Olivia turned around and went downstairs. She seemed a little freaked out as she skipped the elevator and went straight for the staircase.
Eugene’s gaze faltered as he watched the woman run away anxiously. Did he scare her?
“Where’s Mommy?” A childlike voice rang out.
Eugene looked downward at North, who was standing next to him. “I think I scared your mommy away.”
North gave him a look as if he was already an adult before commenting nonchalantly, “I already told you not to force her. If she’s that easy to pursue, you wouldn’t have stood a chance.”
Eugene glared at him. “Why do I feel like you’re low-key finding this funny?”
North looked up at him as he harrumphed arrogantly. “Indeed, I don’t wish for you to be able to pursue my mommy so easily.”
Eugene frowned. “Do you want another man to be your daddy?”
“I don’t, but if my mommy wants another man to be my daddy, I can accept that.”
North glanced at Eugene. As if he was an elder talking to his junior, North advised him, “That’s why you need to work harder!”
Although Eugene knew that this little fellow was trying to piss him off, he still managed to crawl under his skin.
“I can do that. However, will you still help me win your mommy over?”
North harrumphed before turning toward the room. “I want to sleep in your room. You can sleep in the guest room.”
Eugene chuckled. “Why can’t I sleep together with you?”
North turned around to face him. “I don’t have the habit of sleeping with another person in a room.”
“It’s my first time as well. Let’s try this!”
Then, Eugene bent down, lifted the little fellow, and entered his bedroom.
On the other hand, Olivia didn’t bother to turn on the lights when she got back to her house, as she sat in a daze in the living room. Her mind kept replaying what Eugene said just now. 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!
Also, his breath was on her face when they stood so close to each other just now. It was so warm that her cheeks were still flushed now.
Undeniably, his confession really caught her off guard. Olivia thought that it would be really awkward when she went over because of what happened the other day.
Alright, it got even more awkward now!
But… Why would she feel so restless?
To one point, Olivia started regretting and was annoyed at herself for backing away. She wasn’t like this!
Hold on! Could it be that I’m actually interested in him?
The door creaked. Olivia looked over to where to sound originated from to see a figure coming out from the dark guest room. Immediately, the lights were switched on.
Kate jumped when she saw Olivia sitting on the couch. “Why are you not asleep and sitting here?”
Olivia gave Kate a look before turning around lazily and sighed. “Are you sobered up?”
“I feel better now.”
Then, Kate went to the fridge and took a bottle of water out before chugging down about half of it. Then, she went to sit on the couch in front of Olivia. “What are you thinking about?”
Olivia leaned back and didn’t know what to say.
“By the way, didn’t you say that you wanted to get North? Is he back?”
“Don’t mention it anymore.”
Olivia really didn’t want to think about something so embarrassing anymore. Instead of picking up her child, she got scared and ran back.
Kate glanced at Olivia. “You looked like you just got harassed.”
Olivia stared at her for a while before she finally spoke up, “You’re right.”
Upon hearing her friend’s confirmation, Kate’s eyes widened. “What?!”
Olivia felt depressed. “Eugene… He told me that he liked me.”
Kate got excited when she heard that, so she immediately got up from the other side of the couch and scooted over to Olivia. “Oh my God! He confessed to you?!”
Oliva nodded before replying, “Yes.”
“My goodness! I knew that Eugene felt something for you! How’s that? Am I a psychic now?”
