Chapter 414 Overwhelmed by Your Love
Eugene smiled. “Alright; thank you for today.” “You’re welcome. Call me if there’s anything,” Kate said as she got out of the car. Afterward, Eugene glanced at Olivia through the rearview mirror. “Are you mad?”
In response, Olivia shifted her gaze and looked out the window, acting like it was uncalculated. “Nope.” He said, “If you’re not, would your best friend say something like that to me?”
Then, she replied, “You’re overthinking it because you have a guilty conscience!”
Upon hearing those words, he felt a little speechless. “I grew up with Zoe. Her mother used to have a close relationship with mine. So, she spent most of her childhood at my house. Besides, I’ve always regarded her as a younger sister. There’s nothing between us at all.”
Giving him a sideways glance, she imitated the way Zoe spoke, saying, “I know that, Gene.”
“Then, does it still upset you?”
However, she kept quiet and did not respond to the question.
“I’ll avoid close contact with her in the future,” he said. Then, he added, “No, I’ll keep all other women at arm’s length in the future.”
After hearing that, Olivia couldn’t help smiling slightly as she turned her head away and pretended to ignore him. However, Eugene felt unsure. Thus, he stopped the car and pulled her into his arms. “Don’t be jealous of her. Nothing is going on between us.”
Glaring at him abruptly, she asked fiercely, “Who’s being jealous?!”
He responded reasonably, “Okay, okay; you’re not being jealous. My girlfriend is gentle, beautiful, smart, and magnanimous. How could she possibly be jealous for no reason?”
Staring at him, she asked, “Why are you so similar to Kate?”
In response, he asked, “What’s up with her?”
She pouted. “I seriously suspect her of being a spy you sent to my side. She even put in a good word for you.”
Upon hearing that, he couldn’t help but chuckle. “What did she say?”
Suppressing her disgust, she spat out, “She was like a broken record! Eugen Nolan is a great man; you won’t have to worry about money… She could have been your spokesperson with the way she went on and on about you!”
Then, he laughed out loud. “Did she really say that?”
“Yeah.”
“You can tell her tomorrow that if her magazine publisher ever needs it, the Nolan Group is willing to cooperate with her on account of her helping coax my girlfriend.”
Snorting, she scoffed, “The two of you are banding up against me!”
“Are you saying you can tell that we are working together…” he glanced at her hesitantly before continuing, “to cajole you?”
“I’m not even angry. Why do you need to coax me?”
Thus, he replied, “I know. But, we thought you were angry. Besides, our son even gave me a 30-minute lecture because he thought that you were angry at me.”
Upon hearing that, she became suspicious. “North went to your place?”
He said, “Nope. I was looking for you. Seriously, you didn’t see how fierce that little b*stard was! You will forever be the most important person to him.”
Upon hearing that, she looked pleased. “Of course; he’s my son.”
“He’s mine too!”
“You’re not his father yet!”
“Sooner or later, I will be.”
Olivia was rendered speechless. There’s no winning against him, is there? “So, what did North lecture you about?”
“He had a lot to say. But, it can be summarized down to two points. One, his mommy is always right. Two, if his mommy isn’t right, please refer to the first point!”
After hearing that, she lowered her head and tried hard to suppress her smile. “How did you respond?”
Eugene seemed slightly taken aback for a moment before he replied, “I said I agree!”
Thus, she snorted, feeling secretly pleased. “That’s more like it.”
After that, he took advantage of her mood and asked, “What does my girlfriend want to eat tonight?”
She was in a good mood right now. So, she thought about it for a bit then said, “Why don’t I cook tonight? Let’s go and buy some noodles. I’ll make some sesame noodles.”
Glancing at her doubtfully, Eugene confirmed that she wasn’t angry and was not thinking of punishing him.
“What’s with that look? You don’t trust me?”
“No, I’m just overwhelmed by your love.”
Then, Olivia turned away and smiled in secret. She had noticed that this man was unparalleled when it came to saying sweet nothings.
