Chapter 438 You Can Live Here by Yourself for the Rest Of Your Life
Olivia pouted. “Is that all? Are you sure you weren’t being selfish?”
Under Olivia’s gaze, Eugene swallowed hard and he didn’t dare to argue against her. Before he could even start talking, he shot her a flattering smile.
“Actually, I did have some ulterior motives. I talk to Mom very often; she knows about you and has seen your pictures before. She has been asking to meet you, so I decided to take this opportunity and bring you over.”
As she glared at Eugene, Olivia was about to leave. Just when she turned around, Eugene held her hand and said pitifully, “Olivia, please don’t be angry. You know Brian wouldn’t come with me if you weren’t coming too. If that was the case, I’m not sure when the misunderstanding between us would be solved, so I could only ask for your help.”
Although Olivia was slightly irritated, she knew that it wasn’t because of the lie Eugene had told her, but it was because she was worried.
Olivia was definitely not prepared and Eugene had tricked her to the island to meet his mother. She was worried that his mother would be prejudiced toward her, but she felt like she couldn’t tell Eugene about this, so all she could do was glare at him.
Indistinctly, North said, “Mommy, nothing is embarrassing about eating what has already been prepared!”
Olivia and Eugene were dazed. But then Eugene let out a chuckle and said, “It’s okay. Mom knew you couldn’t cook. She even told me to take good care of you.”
Immediately, Olivia was embarrassed. “You… You’re really…”
Couldn’t he save face for her?
While Eugene wrapped his arm around Olivia’s shoulders, he held North with his other hand. “This is nothing. Mom has been through so many things in her life. She is very open-minded. Besides, she only hopes for me and Brian to be happy. You’re the one that can make us happy, so there’s no reason for her to hate you.”
Upon hearing that, Olivia gave him a single glance. “I don’t care what you’re trying to say now. I’m still going to hold you responsible for your lies! You’re not allowed to visit my house for three days after we go back!”
Eugene was rendered speechless.
Breaking away from his hold, Olivia marched forward arrogantly. The two of them made their way to the highest point of Promise Island and looked back at the lush greenery, the pavilion, the cloister, and the fences in the distance. Everything was windy—like a dragon making its way up the hill.
The seaside was the most beautiful at this point. The sun was setting silently at the horizon; the colorful clouds gathered and illuminated rays of evening sunlight. The only things left hanging in the sky were the dreamlike red, orange, and yellow rays—it looked as if gold was sprinkled from the sky.
The clouds were finely outlined in the sky, turning the sky into an ink painting.
The evening breeze that was mixed with the fragrance of flowers and trees was very refreshing.
Olivia exhaled deeply and exclaimed, “This place is so beautiful!”
Laughing softly, Eugene answered, “When we’re old, we can come and stay here for the rest of our lives.”
Olivia was surprised that Eugene actually had the same idea as her.
Looking toward Olivia, Eugene inquired, “Why are you looking at me like this?”
With cold eyes, Olivia scowled. “I’m wondering how long I can bear with you if you keep on lying to me like this.”
Instantly, Eugene’s hair stood on end. He reached out and grabbed her hand. “S-Stay strong, Olivia. I promise I won’t hide anything from you anymore.”
Olivia almost laughed out loud when she heard his words. She didn’t know how this man could say something like that in such a serious manner.
Throwing him a coy glance, she started walking back. She said, “If you ever lie to me again, then you can come here to live by yourself for the rest of your life!”
Her response left Eugene at a loss for words.
When Eugene and Olivia finally came home, they found Ellen and Brian crying in one another’s arms. It seemed like the two of them had finally talked it out.
Ellen asked Brian, “Do you still faint very often?”
Shaking his head, Brian said, “Not anymore. Olivia has cured me. I haven’t fainted for a long time, and I don’t have a headache anymore.”
