Chapter 391 They Fought
Edward’s cell phone started to ring in his hand at that moment. Upon checking it, he noticed that it was a phone call from the person whom he sent earlier in the morning to trail Brian.
Edward swiped on the screen to answer the call and was greeted with a man gasping for air on the other end of the line. “Master Nolan, I’m sorry. We have been discovered. Brian led us on a detour for dozens of kilometers. In the end, he even attacked us and both parties are now injured.”
Upon hearing that, Edward was furious. “I instructed you to spy on him, not to fight with him. How could you have been discovered?”
The man answered while sounding sheepish, “We had maintained quite a bit of distance from his car, so I’m not sure how he noticed us. Once we arrived at an open space, he rammed his car into us like a madman…”
Edward snapped, “Enough! Get your a*s back here right now!”
The man asked timidly, “Master Nolan, our car is totaled from the impact. In fact, there’s no mobile coverage around that area and I walked for some distance before finally being able to call you. All three of them are quite severely wounded, so can you please send a car over to pick us up?”
Edward was quite annoyed upon learning that. “Fine, fine! Send me your location! You are all a useless bunch!”
After hanging up on the call, he instructed some people to pick them up.
Once it had been arranged, Lara asked, “What happened?”
He reiterated the situation to her and commented in the end, “Brian is no longer as simple as he was when he was a child. On the contrary, he’s becoming more like Eugene.”
She snorted while remarking, “I already told you that you’re raising a tiger at home. If these two brothers decide to work together, coupled with Old Man Nolan’s affection, we wouldn’t be able to compete with them.”
He commented, “They will not have the courage to do that. As long as I am alive, they will not have the courage to act recklessly.”
Lara nodded in agreement. “That’s right; as long as Old Man Nolan is with us, they will not dare to do anything rash. Why don’t we get the old man to live with us? It’s time to bond with him. He has already given Eugene the position as the head of the family, so shouldn’t he compensate you by giving you some shares in return?”
Edward responded, “What are you talking about? Do you think that both my older brothers aren’t trying to bond with the old man? Look, who has the courage to act recklessly? Eugene would learn of any changes within the Nolan Residence. How could he possibly allow you to take Old Man Nolan away?”
Lara squinted because she couldn’t come up with a plan and coincidentally, she received a phone call from the person who was spying on Eugene.
“Miss Lara, I saw Young Master Brian in Muse Peninsula, but he ended up fighting with Young Master Eugene.”
She was shocked upon hearing that. “They fought? Why?”
The person over the phone answered her, “I couldn’t hear their conversation clearly, but it seems like Young Master Brian claimed that someone is following him and he misunderstood that it was Young Master Eugene’s man. Anyway, the fight was intense and he even told Young Master Eugene not to get involved in his matters.”
Lara acknowledged the report. “Continue to spy on him.”
After that, she hung up on the phone while looking at Edward with a surprised expression. “Brian apparently fought with Eugene. Can you believe that?”
Edward answered, “Why wouldn’t I believe that? They would have reconciled much earlier if that was possible. Why would they wait until now? This is a good thing, so we’ll just let them continue with their misunderstanding.”
She was rendered speechless by his response.
After a few days, Eugene got out of bed as usual and packed his things before heading toward the 59th floor.
The more I’m closer to both mother and son, the more I’m inclined to blend into their lives. I want to live in the same house as the both of them, even if I can’t be in the same room. No! Even if I have to sleep on a couch, I’d be more than happy to do that.
When the thought crossed Eugene’s mind, he couldn’t help but mock himself. I am not an easily satisfied person and I obviously need more.
I want to live under the same roof as her. In fact, I want to be able to see her whenever I want to from dawn to dusk. I want to hold her to sleep and have her in my arms when I’m awake. However, in reality, I am only able to spend time with both mother and son when I prepare their meals.
Olivia preferred oriental-style breakfast whereas he was mostly familiar with oriental-cuisine too. On the first day, he would soak the rice while setting the timer.
