Chapter 432 Arriving At Promise Island
Listening to their conversation in the kitchen, Brian felt like he was in a daze. It felt like he had gone back to the day before—before he learned about the truth. Can I still think of them as my brother and his wife?
While he was still deep in his thoughts, Olivia’s voice rang out from the kitchen. “Brian, do you have anything you want to eat? You can ask your brother to make it for you.”
He snorted in response, “No need!”
However, she didn’t get dejected by his response. “Then, why don’t I make you some pickles in soy sauce?”
He didn’t respond. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to eat it, but that he didn’t know what that was.
At the dining table, Brian stared at the plate of black shredded radish. Are you telling me that’s the legendary pickles in soy sauce?
Olivia explained awkwardly, “Your brother said it’s delicious.”
Actually, Olivia found it rather tasty too.
Glancing at her suspiciously, he hesitantly took a bite of the pickles in soy sauce. It was very crisp and not as salty as he imagined it to be. Although it didn’t look good, it certainly was tasty! He nodded. “It’s delicious!”
Then, she happily glanced over at Eugene. “Do you think I’ve learned a new specialty dish?”
Eugene smiled encouragingly. “Yeah. You have four specialty dishes now.”
After breakfast, the four of them left the house. North was on school holiday. So, he came with them too. First, they took a three-hour-long flight. After that, they went to the pier and boarded a cruise ship.
It was North’s first time taking a boat and everything was a curious sight to him. Thus, he ran about excitedly; one moment he would dash onto the deck to enjoy the wind, and the next moment he would run back to the cabin to listen to their conversations.
“Where are we going?” Brian asked again.
In response, Eugene glanced at him. “Why do you keep asking? Won’t you know when you get there?”
On the other hand, North smiled in great delight. I know; we’re going to Promise Island. It’s my daddy’s private property. Just the island itself is worth several billion! How’s that?! My daddy can get rid of everything that isn’t satisfactory! More importantly, he treats Mommy well! Thus, he couldn’t hide the triumphant expression on his face. Delightedly swinging his legs from the chair, he looked like he was bragging no matter how one looked at him.
In contrast to North’s swaggering look, Olivia looked inexplicably uneasy. I wonder what Eugene’s mother will think about a woman with a child, like me? Will she look down on me? What if she dislikes me? After all, she is his biological mother! Mired in anxiety, the boat docked at the port—they had arrived at Promise Island.
It was already late afternoon by the time they arrived outside and the light of the setting sun was stunningly gorgeous! Olivia took in her surroundings. It was not the barren land that she had imagined. Rather, it was lush and full of life. The beach and the beach umbrellas… It was quite a well-developed island; moreover, it was a tourist attraction with beautiful scenery!
However, Eugene led them in through a different entrance. When the bodyguard by the door noticed Eugene, he immediately greeted him politely, “Mr. Nolan!”
Eugene replied, “Hi. How is the business recently?”
“It’s going swimmingly! The north is getting cold, so it’s the peak season for us,” the man said as he led them inside.
They were in an extremely private area. The tourists were all gathered at the tourist attractions, so nobody would come to this side. Besides, workers were managing this place all year round. This place put Eugene at ease. Unfortunately, it was a little far from the city and coming here was a hassle.
On the other hand, Brian became more and more confused. I heard of Promise Island a long time ago. I even talked about it with other people. We were discussing who had such foresight to buy up this place and turn it into such a lucrative business. It looks like it has something to do with Eugene. Otherwise, this man wouldn’t have addressed him as Mr. Nolan. I can tell he comes here frequently.
While he was still caught in a daze, Olivia’s eyes started to blur. This place is so beautiful!
