Chapter 444 Sharing the Same Room
Edward had never felt that there was any problem with the way Lara talked. But probably because of what happened to Penny, he also felt that Lara’s tone was too aggressive, and it was indeed commanding!
“You go first! I’ll stay for a while!” Because Lara didn’t hear the answer she thought he would give, she was at loss for a long moment. Finally, she didn’t say anything and hung up the phone.
Eugene and the others had been chatting until 11 PM. Olivia and North weren’t able to hold on and they lay on the sofa drowsily. Knowing that they were tired, Ellen shooed them to sleep.
However, the villa on the island had only four rooms in total and there was no doubt that Brian and Ellen would be occupying one room each. There were two rooms left for the three of them. If it were in the past, it was natural that Olivia and North would share one. Nevertheless, North had already checked out all the rooms earlier and he told Ellen that he wanted to sleep on his own. So, Eugene and Olivia had to stay together in the same room.
Eugene didn’t have any objections, but Olivia didn’t seem to like the idea. When they were back at home, they had never shared a room. Why was it that she had to sleep with him in the house of her future mother-in-law?
People who didn’t know her would think that she couldn’t keep her composure. Of course, she wasn’t someone like that! So, she kept herself awake on the sofa but still couldn’t help falling asleep.
“Let’s go to sleep. I think Olivia is already sleepy,” said Ellen.
Immediately, Olivia woke up. This wasn’t her house after all and hence she didn’t dare to sleep too deeply. That was why she woke up the moment Ellen spoke. When she woke up, she tried to explain, “It’s okay. I’m not sleepy.” But when her voice dropped, she started yawning.
Looking at her behavior, Eugene was entertained but heartbroken at the same time. “All of us should go to bed now. We’re leaving too.” As he said, he bent down, lifted Olivia away from the sofa, and walked toward the room.
Olivia was shocked at once. She murmured subconsciously, “Hey! Let me go!”
Instead of letting her go, Eugene’s eyelids drooped and there was a teasing smile at the corner of his mouth. While he was walking, he asked, “Are you shy?”
“What do you think your mom would think when she sees you holding me like that in front of her?” Olivia frowned.
Eugene whispered, “Mom would only be happy for me.”
“Just let go of me.”
“Don’t move. Mom’s watching.”
In her heart, Olivia thought, Of course, I know your mother is watching! If she isn’t, I would have kicked you already! She was so angry now but she had nowhere to vent her anger out. So, she could only threaten him with her gaze. “Eugene, how could you be so shameless? What do you mean by we’re going to sleep now? You made it sound like I’ve been sleeping with you all along!”
Halting his movements, Eugene thought for a while and said, “Didn’t we sleep together before?”
“Who slept with you?” Although her voice wasn’t loud, her expression was fierce.
“If we haven’t slept together before, how did our son appear?” chuckled Eugene.
Olivia was speechless for a moment and she yelled, “You’re too much into character!”
As soon as her voice dropped, she heard Ellen’s voice. “Eugene, why don’t you come sleep in my room. I can crash on the sofa.”
Eugene frowned after he heard what his mother said. There was no way he would let his mother sleep on the sofa and so he answered, “No. I’ll sleep on the sofa!”
“No way. You guys must have been very tired coming here by car and boat. There’s no way you can rest well.”
Olivia pouted. She felt like his mother’s words were clearly meant for her. She was originally thinking of kicking him out to the sofa after he sent her back to the room. But how could she do that now? She took a deep breath and said to Ellen, “It’s fine, Mrs. Nolan. You sleep in the room. Eugene can sleep with me!”
Finally getting the answer she wanted, Ellen smiled. “Okay. Rest well, then. Good night!”
