Chapter 190 I’ve Been Looking for You
Eugene watched her laugh and couldn’t help curving the corners of his lips too. As he got up, he helped her bring the plates on the table to the kitchen. Truthfully speaking, he had always enjoyed cooking but loathed cleaning up. Every time he cooked, he didn’t bother cleaning up.
But he couldn’t bear to see her busy in the kitchen alone. So, he went to the kitchen and watched her. “Your mother is right. Instead of being good at everything, women only need to excel in one area. Nevertheless, men nowadays need to be a jack of all trades, or else they won’t be able to find themselves a wife.”
Olivia smiled. “In that case, most men won’t be able to marry.”
Eugene replied, “Then are you thinking that the reason why I don’t have a girlfriend at such an age isn’t because I don’t want one, but because I can’t get one?”
Olivia’s mouth twitched upon hearing him say such a thing so seriously. “Do you even have a conscience when you say that? I just came back, but don’t ever think that I know nothing. I’ve heard a lot of your rumors.”
As he stared at her, Eugene chuckled lightly. “Do you really pay so much attention to me?”
Olivia was at a loss for words. Could he not be so narcissistic? “You’re such a legend. Why do I need to pay special attention to you? I can know everything about you just by listening to others with half an ear.”
Eugene became very interested. “So what do they say about me?”
Olivia looked at him and said, “They say you’re a sentimental kind of guy and that you haven’t looked for a girlfriend because…” She stopped speaking abruptly and felt a little frustrated at herself. What am I doing? This is a pitiful attempt at trying to learn about his private life! But why? I just rejected him, yet I’m now trying to learn about his private life. Who would believe me now when I say I’m not interested in him?
There was a hint of interest at the corner of Eugene’s mouth. “Why didn’t you finish your sentence?”
Olivia snorted and lowered her head. She continued to put the dishes into the dishwasher but didn’t say anything else. Her tiny face was full of irritation as she could not say what she wanted to say. She was, in Eugene’s eyes, indeed adorable.
“Did they say that I’ve been looking for a woman?” Eugene asked.
Suspicion then rose in Olivia’s heart. He knows about it? Then why does he still flirt with me? Such a scumbag! Nevertheless, she still maintained a calm expression on her face and pretended to be surprised. “Oh, really? They all say that you don’t have a girlfriend because you’re so great that women are afraid of you. Have you been looking for a particular someone? Who is she?”
At that time, Eugene was leaning on the kitchen counter while facing Olivia. Watching the woman’s clumsy acting skills, he couldn’t help but laugh. Raising her eyes, Olivia glared at him. What the hell are you laughing about?
Eugene also stared at her before saying in a deep, husky voice, “Will you believe it if I say I’ve been looking for you?”
Upon hearing that, Olivia laughed in exasperation. “Looking for me? Are you gonna say that you’ve been looking for me for a long time? And that you’ve been waiting for me all this while?”
Eugene was a little astonished. What does she mean? Does she know everything? In a daze, he nodded.
As her face darkened, Olivia questioned him, “Mr. Nolan, this is not how you should pursue women. You gotta be more sincere about it! These kinds of words are way too outdated now. How could you even use them on me?”
Initially, she thought that Eugene would become flustered or embarrassed at her criticism. Yet, this man was so thick-skinned that he asked with a straight face, “Then may I pursue you?”
How does he want to pursue me? Is he gonna pursue me with such outdated and insincere sweet talk? Olivia snorted derisively in her heart, but she plastered an innocent look on her face and took a step closer to Eugene.
Shocked, Eugene’s gaze wavered. This is the first time this woman has taken the initiative to approach me! She’s so close! Indeed, Olivia was so close that he could smell the scent of her shampoo, which was a pleasing sensation. Swallowing subconsciously, his body seemed to freeze in place as he stared at her without blinking.
However, she stopped at a distance no more than 20 centimeters from him. As she lifted her chin slightly, she replied to his question with an extremely arrogant attitude, “No! You may not!” Then, she turned to leave.
