Chapter 434 It Doesn’t Matter Who Takes Care of Whom
Brian’s hoarse voice was so soft that it was barely audible. Perhaps that was the reason he looked like a wounded hedgehog—he was attacking everybody in sight! Ellen Mccarthy strode over to him and grabbed his arm. “That’s not—”
However, he reacted explosively, throwing her hand off his arm as he yelled, “That’s not what?! You’re alive, but you never told me! Why?!” He felt like crying, and his tears welled up in his eyes. Not wanting to be seen by others, he turned and fled into the bedroom.
Then, Eugene sighed exasperatedly. “Olivia, why don’t you and North keep my mother company here? I’m going after him!”
Upon hearing those words, Olivia subconsciously wanted to reach out and stop him. How am I supposed to keep your mother company?! I don’t know what to say! Even so, it was clear that she had no choice in the matter.
Meanwhile, Ellen watched as Eugene chased after Brian. After that, she withdrew her gaze and smiled helplessly. “You’re Olivia, right? I’m sorry you had to see that.”
Olivia shook her head in response. “It’s nothing, Mrs. Nolan.”
Ellen leaned down and looked at North, asking, “You’re my lil’ grandson, right? Your daddy always talks about you!”
Grinning widely, North answered, “Hello, Grandma!”
Hearing him call her ‘Grandma’ made her very happy. “What a good boy! Come on in.”
Thus, Olivia and North went inside. As soon as they walked in, North saw the little orange cat. “Grandma, what’s its name?”
“It’s called Ginger.”
His eyes shone with excitement. Picking up a ball, he played with the cat. “Come here, Ginger. Ginger, look here—”
On the other hand, Olivia swallowed nervously. How I wish I could borrow some of the naturally familiar nature of that little b*stard. Why the hell am I so nervous anyway?!
Then, Ellen glanced at the nervous Olivia. “Have a seat, Olivia. Don’t be so nervous; just think of this place like your own home. I’ve heard a lot about you from Eugene. I didn’t expect you to be so beautiful.”
Olivia gave an embarrassed laugh. “Mrs. Nolan, you’re very beautiful too.” Her words were honest. Ellen was an intellectual beauty. All her gestures were overflowing with the grace of a lady. One could tell immediately that she was a gentlewoman. Compared to Lara, who had an aggressive beauty, Ellen gave off a more comfortable feeling.
Ellen smilingly replied, “What do you mean? I’m an old lady now. Has Eugene told you about our story?”
In response, Olivia nodded. “Eugene told me about it yesterday. Brian came looking for revenge, thinking that Eugene had sent his men to run you down. The bruises on their faces were caused by their fight yesterday!”
“No wonder; I was just thinking that their faces were terribly bruised.”
“Yes. It’s no big deal. It’s all external injuries, and I’ve treated them.”
Upon hearing that, Ellen sighed in frustration. “Sigh. All this while, I’ve been trying to persuade Eugene. Revenge breeds revenge; when will it end? But, their harassment has gone too far.”
After saying that, she smiled in embarrassment. “Recently, Eugene looks livelier. Still, I can tell that he is very happy during his visit here this time around. Besides, he seems to have gained some weight! It’s all because you’ve been taking so good care of him!”
The corners of Olivia’s mouth twitched slightly. Me? Take care of him? Is that a joke? Can I tell her that her son is the one cooking three meals a day? But, will my mother-in-law think that I’m a useless girlfriend? “To be honest… he is the one taking care of me most of the time.”
“Well, that’s fine. You’re a small family, so it’s the same no matter who takes care of whom.”
Olivia didn’t know how to respond. What does she mean by a small family? We’ve only been dating for slightly more than a month! Ever since I started interacting with Eugene, it feels like I’ve been pushed into a lot of things against my will.
After carelessly agreeing to make him my boyfriend, I wanted to test him out for a while. Unfortunately, my senior came to visit during that time, and to appease that man, my trial boyfriend became my official boyfriend.
