Chapter 371 Childishness Overload
Brian turned around in shock. “I’m free. What’s up?”
Olivia smiled. “Nothing. I just wanted to invite you for dumplings at my place tonight. See how much we bought here? We are going to make dumplings by ourselves tonight. Come join us!”
Actually, she wanted to create more opportunities for Eugene to spend more time with him. Even though the brothers’ relationship seemed quite tense on the surface, it actually was quite special.
She felt that Eugene was quite patient with Brian. It was highly probable that there were other reasons that he left his mother and brother back then. It was the same for Brian as well.
Even though he always opposed Eugene, she could feel that Brian somehow relied on the latter. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so arrogant and anxious—like a kid who couldn’t get the candy he wanted—around Eugene every time.
If he really didn’t care, he wouldn’t have held the grudges for so long! Brian, however, was surprised to hear that. She’s actually inviting me to her house for dumplings?
Then, he looked at Eugene instinctively. Great!
His gaze is so sharp that it could slice me in half! Hence, Brian was suddenly pumped. “Sure!”
Seeing that both of them had happily decided on this, Eugene felt like throwing everything away and calling it off.
Even though he glared at Olivia coldly, she was not afraid of him. In fact, she glowered back at him. “Just say what’s on your mind. Stop playing mind games here. I don’t understand what you are trying to say with your eyes!”
It was not that Eugene didn’t want Brian to be there—he just didn’t want Olivia to be the person who invited him.
He still remembered Olivia mentioning that she liked Brian. Even though he believed that it was completely platonic, the closeness between the two of them still made him jealous.
After all, this younger brother of his fancied Olivia!
Rubbing his temples, he thought, I’ve finally chased George away, but now my own brother is trying to mess everything up.
Can’t they let us enjoy a peaceful dinner by ourselves?
After struggling with himself, he finally convinced himself.
Fine!
Olivia can check on his body too.
He raised his eyes to look at Brian. “I don’t tolerate freeloaders under my roof. You’ll be buying the condiments!”
Brian snorted, “When did I agree to go to your house?”
Eugene was initially prepared to leave, but he suddenly heard Brian’s question. Feeling that he had to make himself clear, he stopped and enunciated as he looked at Brian fixedly, “My girlfriend’s house is my house!”
Unwilling to admit defeat, Brian also retaliated, “Your girlfriend is not your wife. Please reserve your dominance for after you guys get a marriage certificate.”
Looking at both of them, Olivia was exasperated. I guess childishness is infectious.
“The mental age of you guys combined can’t be more than 6 years old. Are we still buying that? If we delay any further, I guess the dumplings will become supper!”
Finally, under Olivia’s constant urging, the three of them finished shopping and went home.
When they reached the garage, they carried out the items that they had bought.
Olivia held two bags, each in one hand.
When Brian got out of the car, he took it from her naturally.
Just as Olivia was about to say that she could manage it, Eugene acted faster—he took the bags from Brian and held it himself.
Brian’s eyes flashed, but he merely pursed his lips without saying anything.
However, Olivia was confused. Why isn’t he letting Brian take these?
Is it because Brian is the guest?
Seeing that Eugene was carrying many bags, Olivia asked, “Do you want me to take some, Eugene?”
He replied, “It’s fine. Just open the door for me.”
Olivia didn’t argue with him and pressed the 59th floor in the elevator.
Just as they entered, her cheerful voice rang. “Baby, we’re back.”
North pouted. “I thought you guys forgot that I was back here waiting endlessly!”
Olivia laughed. After she changed into indoor shoes, she uttered, “Guess who’s here.” With that, she welcomed Brian. “Come in.”
