Chapter 290 Bring North Over Next Time!
Therefore, he hurriedly spoke up, “Grandpa, there’s no need to be in such a hurry. Olivia has just agreed to be my girlfriend. The reason we came here is because I want Olivia to make a suit for you. You probably don’t know it, but Olivia is one of the top designers in the world!
If there’s any style you like, just tell Olivia and she’ll design the suit according to your requests!” When Old Man Nolan heard this, he became starry eyed. “Really? My granddaughter-in-law is so talented!” As he spoke, he suddenly turned to Eugene and said, “B*stard, you found a treasure! Treat her well and don’t ever bully her!”
Eugene was speechless and helpless. “Grandpa, don’t worry. I can’t even express my love for her enough!” Meanwhile, Olivia stood there awkwardly. Oh God, please let me disappear! Why won’t they stop talking about me being Old Man Nolan’s granddaughter-in-law?
She secretly glared at Eugene, as if she was giving him a silent warning. Can you just stop talking? Eugene squinted his eyes and dotingly winked at her, motioning to her that he was going to end the topic.
All of a sudden, Old Man Nolan burst into laughter. “Okay, okay! If you two have anything to say to each other just go ahead. I won’t eavesdrop. Didn’t you say that you wanted to take my measurements and make a suit for me? Let’s go!”
Olivia smiled and said, “We’re not in a hurry to take your measurements. Master Merlin, what kind of styles do you like?”
Old Man Nolan replied, “I’m fine with anything as long as it’s simple and comfortable to wear.” Eugene asked, “How about a tuxedo?” Olivia agreed and said, “That sounds great. He should look handsome on his birthday.” Old Man Nolan nodded and replied, “Okay. Just make whatever you think suits me best.”
Olivia pulled out some paper and started sketching a design. After a while, two tuxedo designs appeared on the paper. “Master Merlin, do you like this design or that one?”
Old Man Nolan looked at it for a while before he said, “This one. It looks simple and elegant.” Olivia replied, “Okay, which color do you like? Red, maroon and navy are great colors for tuxedos!” Old Man Nolan glanced at Eugene and asked, “How about red?”
Eugene smiled and nodded. “I knew you would choose red.” Old Man Nolan snorted, feeling unconvinced. “How would you know?” With a smile, Eugene said, “I remember grandma had a beautiful red evening dress, but its design isn’t as novel as Olivia’s!”
Old Man Nolan seemed a little embarrassed. After a while, he softly muttered, “Back when your grandmother was still alive, she wanted to wear a matching set with me. At that time, I felt embarrassed to wear a matching set with her.
After she passed away, I finally understood that nothing is more important than her happiness. As long as she’s happy, there’s nothing that I can’t do. However, now…” As he spoke, he suddenly paused and sighed. “I want to wear a matching set with her, but she’s no longer around!”
When Old Man Nolan was talking about this, there were glimmers in his dark eyes as he stared into the distance in a daze. It was as if he was looking at something, but an image of his wife in a red evening dress sitting on the sofa had materialized in his mind. The corners of his lips curled upward ever so slightly and there was nostalgia in his eyes.
Looking at him, Eugene felt a little upset. Even though grandpa doesn’t talk about it much, he probably feels lonely and misses grandma a lot after she left.
“Don’t worry, grandma will see it!” Eugene comforted him. It was only then did Old Man Nolan suppress his emotions and said, “Okay. Olivia, just make me what you like.”
Olivia nodded. Then, she looked up at Eugene and asked, “When is Master Merlin’s birthday?”
“It’s one week from now!” Eugene replied.
Olivia quickly nodded. “Okay, I’ll try my best to finish it in three days!” Later, she took Old Man Nolan’s measurements and chatted with him a while before she left.
Perhaps older people didn’t like to be alone, because before they left, Old Man Nolan was reluctant to let them go and followed them out until the outside of the villa. Then, he reminded Olivia again, “Olivia, remember to bring North over next time!”
