Chapter 340 Who Would You Save?
Suddenly, a tall figure appeared beside her and a low and sexy voice travelled into her ears. “Still looking?” Olivia didn’t turn around and neither did she say anything. She just tilted her head to the side and laid it on the man’s shoulder.
Very naturally, Eugene took her into his arms. His voice had an imperceptible tenderness to it as he said, “What’s wrong? Are you reluctant to see him go?”
“A bit, yes!” Olivia said. Hearing this, Eugene’s breath hitched in anger. He put his hands on her shoulders and turned her around so that she was facing him. “I should be the one you are pitying. I was hidden away by you for so many days. You have to make up for it!”
Olivia looked at that handsome face and couldn’t help but snort in laughter.
Eugene deliberately said fiercely, “Don’t you dare laugh! How many days have you been with your senior? 14 days! You need to be with me for 28 days, and not a single day less!”
As he said that, he pulled her toward the exit. “Why do I have to be with you for 28 days?” Olivia said, unconvinced.
“A boyfriend is more important than a senior, so we need to double it!” Olivia tilted her head and thought about it. “You are both very important to me.”
Eugene’s steps paused as he frowned. He was determined to make it clear so he questioned, “What do you mean we are both important? If your senior and I both fell into the sea at the same time, who would you save?”
Olivia sweatdropped. In an instant, she remembered the age-old question—who would you save first if your mother and wife fell into the sea at the same time?
“Aren’t you being childish, Eugene?”
Eugene was unembarrassed and confident. “No, I’m not! You must answer this question!” Rather than being childish, he wanted to know the answer more.
Olivia answered without even needing to think. “I would save George!”
Eugene was so angry that he almost saw red. “Why?”
Olivia burst into laughter. “Because he can’t swim!” Eugene frowned. Not hearing the answer he wanted and unwilling to give up, he asked another question,, “Fine, then this question doesn’t count. Then what if your senior and I were in danger at the same time? Who would you save?”
Olivia was speechless and pulled Eugene toward the car. “Eugene, can you ask a question that requires a higher IQ than that of a three-year-old?”
Eugene followed her obediently into the car. “So who would you save?”
Olivia looked at him, her eyes growing solemn. “You really want me to answer that?”
Eugene met her gaze and nodded a little unsurely. Olivia’s answer was still the same. “I would save George!”
When her voice fell, she clearly heard Eugene take a deep breath. He then turned around and started the car silently. This time…
He didn’t ask why again. Olivia looked at him. “You’re not asking why anymore?”
Eugene looked ahead and gone was the excitement he had just now. An implacable chill was exuding from his body and it was like a huge black hole had absorbed all of his vitality and light. His fingers which were holding the steering wheel slightly tightened.
Even his voice suddenly became muffled. “I don’t want to know why.”
Olivia looked at his tensed face from the side and saw how desolate he looked all of a sudden, which made her heart feel like she was pricked by thousands of pins.
How insecure was he that he would use such questions to determine her feelings for him?
“I would save George because I owe him my life. If not for him, North and I would not have survived. If I get the chance, I will do all that I can to repay him. Your question may be childish, but if something like this really happened and both you and him were in danger and needed me to rescue you, then I would rescue him and go back to you. I will always choose you even if I might die!”
Eugene closed his eyes for a second. How could he bear to let her die?
He just wanted to know if he had any place in her heart.
He steered the car to the side to stop, unfastened his seat belt and pulled Olivia into his arms.
Only Heaven knew how depressed he was just now!
