Chapter 460 Failed Plans
North stared at him in a rather unfriendly manner. “Not spending time together tonight doesn’t make much of a difference!”
Eugene responded, “Why not? I finally have the opportunity to share a room with your mommy. She poked me with needles last night, so I passed out rather early. I still have a lot more to say to your mommy tonight!”
North looked him in the eye. “What if you stay? I bet this big bed can fit the three of us.”
Eugene responded, “Don’t listen to Uncle Brian. He was just trying to frighten you. There’s absolutely nothing in your room.”
North shook his head hard. “No! I heard someone’s footsteps!”
Eugene followed up tentatively, “What if I go with you?” He thought to himself that after North fell asleep, he could then come back to his room.
North responded, “No! I want to sleep with Mommy!”
Eugene then tried to convince him further, “You are a big boy now, so you should sleep on your own. Don’t you believe what I said? Those sounds are only in your head.”
Looking toward him, North said rather disappointedly, “You really want me to go back, don’t you?”
Eugene replied, “You’re a boy, and a boy should be independent. Only then can you protect the girl you want to protect.”
North pouted. “There’s no girl I want to protect right here right now, so I’m definitely not going back to my room. It’s either you go there, or you stay here and all three of us will be in the same bed. Otherwise, I won’t work with your mom to help you!”
Eugene was rendered speechless.
After taking a shower, Olivia came out and found that North was on her bed, sound asleep.
“What’s North doing here?” Olivia asked, not having a clue.
Eugene was as confused as she was as to how this kid ended up here.
Right at this moment, he really wanted to throw Brian into the sea to be fed to the fishes.
Seeing that Eugene was quiet, Olivia responded, “Since North is here, why don’t you sleep in his room?”
Eugene responded, “I’m not going.”
Olivia frowned. “Why not?”
Eugene replied, “It’s haunted!”
Olivia asked incredulously, “What? Haunted? Who said that?”
Eugene pointed at the sleeping beauty in their bed. “North said that!”
Olivia inquired, “Is that why he came over?”
Eugene grunted, “Uh-huh.”
Olivia responded rather angrily, “And you’re afraid too?”
“Yes. I am indeed!”
“How are the three of us going to fit in this bed? How about I go over while you stay here with North?” Olivia uttered as she was about to leave the room.
Eugene stopped her right away. “I’ll go with you wherever you go.”
This sentence made her laugh. “Can’t you do better than this?”
Eugene responded firmly, “I’m afraid not ”
Olivia then compromised, “Fine. North’s room is smaller, so perhaps we can all stay here. You’ll be on that side while I’ll be on the other side.”
Eugene was rendered speechless.
Why are we both sleeping on different sides of the bed? What’s this? My plans for cuddles and kisses are all but gone. Is cuddling her to sleep for just one night too much to ask for?
The next morning, Eugene looked rather upset and stern as if someone owed him a lot of money. ‘Don’t talk to me’ was what was written all over his face.
The moment he came out of the room, he bumped right into Brian. He then gave him an angry stare. “Don’t take the same boat as me today.”
Brian frowned. “Why not?”
Eugene looked indifferent. “I’m afraid I won’t be able to stop myself from punching you.”
Brian did not know how to respond.
Why can’t he be a bit more reasonable?
Why does he want to punch me?
While Brian was still confused, North skipped happily out of Olivia’s room.
Brian blinked in confusion but somewhat understood what was going on. Did he spend the night in Olivia’s room?
Hahaha. Eugene must not have been satisfied last night.
Looking at the excited kid, Brian could not help but bicker with him again. “So? Did someone go and look for you last night?”
