Chapter 300 Who Would You Prefer?
Should he try to offer her some sort of explanation? However, he thought any explanation would only make things worse.
Olivia used her selfie as the profile picture of her WhatsApp account. Although he had admired it countless times before, out of instinct, he still clicked on it and zoomed in on her face because the sight of her smile could work wonders on his mood.
At the same time, he started examining every post on her Instagram account which consisted mainly of things that happened in her daily life. She expressed herself in an exquisite way and she stayed true to herself in her social media accounts.
It was only after loitering in front of her unit for around half an hour did he make his way upstairs to his own unit.
Since she had told him that they were not to meet each other for ten days, he would try his best to curb his desire to meet her during the period.
After all, there were only five days left and he was sure he could manage that. After reaching his own unit, he sent a message to North.
‘Are you asleep?’
It was only after quite a long while did he receive a reply from him: ‘I am!’
Eugene burst out laughing wondering how he could still reply to him if he was really asleep. Despite knowing that it was getting late, he just couldn’t help but be curious about Olivia. “How’s your Mommy’s mood today?”
North: ‘It doesn’t look positive because she hasn’t eaten much throughout the day. Did you make her angry?’
Taking a deep breath, Eugene didn’t want to burden him with his problem so he replied: ‘Nope.’
Yet, he could not hide anything from that little fellow who was a sharp observer. ‘If that’s the case, why didn’t you help Mommy search for Uncle George?’
Eugene tried to get away with it with a vague explanation. ‘I got held up by something. Why did your Uncle George leave all of a sudden?’
North: ‘I’ve got no idea but today, I saw the woman who bullied Mommy a few days ago.’
Frowning at his message, Eugene replied: ‘Who’s that?’
North: ‘It’s your sister. I think Uncle George helped her to capture a thief.’
Eugene: ‘Did she bully your Mommy?’
North: ‘She wouldn’t have the guts to do that! You aren’t allowed to bully my Mommy too!’
His reply cracked Eugene up as he noticed the little fellow was one who stuck to his principle just like his mother. ‘Do I still have you on my side?’
North: ‘I won’t if you bully Mommy.’
Eugene: ‘Are you sure?’
North: ‘There’s nothing much to think about because anyone who bullies Mommy will be my enemy.’
Staring at his arrogant message, Eugene was unsure whether he should be angry or be pleased. North was working hard to become stronger so that he could protect his mother well.
‘Between your Uncle George and I, who would you prefer?’
North first sent him a meme of someone rolling his eyes before sending him a reply: ‘He’s my uncle but you’re my Daddy!’
Suddenly, Eugene broke into a grin because he could picture Olivia explaining it to him using the same tone. Since George is my senior and you’re my boyfriend, who do you think I would prefer?
While Eugene was regretting his attitude, Olivia was experiencing the same sentiment because she understood Eugene just wanted to see her because he was in love with her.
She regretted hurling so many spiteful comments at him before this. Why couldn’t she have explained it nicely to him? Why didn’t she just tell him the truth?
Obviously, Eugene was the aggrieved party because it had taken him some considerable effort to get her to date him but much to his dismay, George had visited her the next day.
She had requested him not to come see her and she reckoned no one in his shoe would be able to do it.
In fact, she knew she only treated him so harshly because she knew how much he was into her.
At that moment, she was feeling slightly upset because she supposed he was really angry with her.
Staring at the screen of her phone with her eyes opened so widely that it started to hurt, she was looking forward to receiving his message so that she could make use of the opportunity to talk it out with him.
However, she didn’t receive anything despite a long wait.
At some point in time, she dozed off and only woke up when her phone started ringing.
Still fuzzy-minded, she took over her phone, glanced at the screen and perked up immediately the moment she saw Eugene’s name on it; various possible reasons for his call popped up in her mind in an instant.
Was he going to demand her to introduce him properly to George because he had had enough of hiding?
Or, was he going to break up with her because he couldn’t stand her bad temper and her reticence?
She found that none of the two possibilities was acceptable to her.
