Chapter 257 You Can Be My Official Boyfriend
North shook his head. “I’m not tired!”
“We’ll be done soon. If you can’t walk any further, I’ll carry you later.”
“It’s alright, Mommy. But I want to eat Uncle Eugene’s spicy lobster for dinner later.”
“Didn’t you have it already last night?”
“I want to eat that again tonight.”
“Uncle George will suspect that.”
“Why do you guys have to be so secretive?”
Olivia frowned. “Because I don’t know if Eugene is good enough to be my boyfriend, so I’m going to test him. That’s why we can’t let George know about this.”
He eyed her coldly. “So, you are really intending to make Mr. George a backup?”
Olivia was silent upon hearing that. “What do you mean by backup? I don’t like George.”
“Why don’t you tell him the truth?”
She did not know how to explain it to her son. After thinking about it, she said, “Because I’ve said that I won’t have any boyfriends in my life. If George knows that I found myself a new boyfriend in less than three months after my return, he will continuously lecture me. Think about how you feel when I lecture you—do you like it?”
North shook his head. “No.”
Olivia said, “George won’t stay for long. Once your Uncle Eugene has passed my test, I’ll let George know. However, for the time being, you have to keep it a secret for me.”
As they chatted, her phone’s notification suddenly chimed. After looking at it, she saw that Eugene had sent her a message.
It was a picture of George touching her forehead with a caption—‘Don’t get too close to other men. As your boyfriend, I’ll be jealous!’
Eugene also sent a sad GIF to her.
She also felt amused in her state of shock as she typed on her keyboard, replying, ‘Just jealous? You are not angry?’
Soon, he replied, ‘Of course not! I trust my girlfriend!’
She couldn’t help but break into a smile. Before she was able to reply, he immediately sent her another message. ‘How about it, my dear girlfriend? I’ve done so well. Do I get any presents?’
‘Sure. Here’s a smiley emoji for you. Once you have collected ten of them, you can be my official boyfriend.’
Then, she sent a smiley emoji over.
With that, his passion suddenly flared up as he immediately sent another message. ‘Why don’t you change the smiley emoji to the kissy emoji?’
Olivia replied with the rolling eyes emoji. When she was about to tease Eugene for being thick-skinned, she saw from the corner of her eyes that George was already out from the fitting room. She immediately kept her phone away. “George.”
“How do I look?” He asked while walking to her.
She smiled gently. “You look handsome!”
North’s smile widened. “You are the most handsome man I’ve ever met!”
George walked over with a smile on his face before caressing his hair. “Little brat, you are good at sweet-talking.”
The three of them had spent their entire day at the mall—Olivia had bought everything from clothes and caps to shoes and ties for George. She had been taking impeccable care of him.
After they returned home with their shopping bags, she was extremely tired and crashed onto the couch straightaway. North immediately followed suit.
Upon looking at the both of them not caring about how they looked at all, George shook his head in exasperation and immediately walked into the kitchen to prepare dinner for them.
An hour later, he had prepared an entire table of scrumptious dishes. However, seeing that both Olivia and North didn’t look too excited, he frowned as he asked, “What’s wrong? Is it not nice?”
She quickly replied, “No way! It’s nice!”
George was confused upon hearing that. “In that case, why do both of you look like you don’t like it?”
Olivia explained, “Didn’t we eat a lot of junk food while shopping earlier? That’s why we aren’t hungry.”
He complained, “I’ve told you guys not to eat that, but you didn’t listen to me. Those are unhealthy.”
She secretly stuck her tongue out. Perhaps she was used to Eugene’s dishes—she couldn’t get used to George’s cooking.
