Chapter 63 Illegitimate Child of a Beggar
North nodded his head vigorously.
Then, Olivia smiled in relief. At that moment, she suddenly felt very thankful toward this man. In front of her son who lacked a father’s love, he had taken on the role of a father figure.
To be honest, this was something she had discussed with her son before. Perhaps there were differences in the way a father and a mother educated their children. The child might listen, but it wasn’t as impactful to him when it came from her.
Looking at the serious expression in her son’s eyes, she knew he would definitely work hard to do well. After all, he looked up to Eugene and even longed for him as a father!
Then, she glanced at Eugene again. I guess the reason my son loves him isn’t just that he is very handsome. Perhaps he might actually be pretty capable!
If only Olivia was still capable of calm and rational analysis.
On the other hand, the female doctor was so emotional that she couldn’t help herself. Staring at Eugene with starry eyes, she exclaimed, “You are such a good father!”
Olivia looked at the female doctor in surprise. “He isn’t the father.”
However, North didn’t want to explain further. Thus, he stood up. “Let’s go. I can’t go to class in the afternoon. I need to buy a new pair of pants!”
Eugene said, “Okay. Your great-grandpa just called. He’s worried about your injuries. Do you want to go and visit him?”
In response, North nodded. “Yeah!”
Then, Eugene smiled. Bending down, he picked North up. “Alright; let’s go get you some pants!”
North blushed shyly. Despite all sorts of twists and turns, Daddy and Mommy seem to be getting on much better than before!
As soon as the three of them exited the school infirmary, they ran into Florence, her niece, and her nephew leaving the school.
Florence saw that they were coming out of the school with their child in tow. Thus, she assumed that they had been expelled from the school too. If that was the case, she at least felt somewhat appeased.
Turning toward her niece and her nephew, she said, “You were going on and on about how amazing they were. Look; didn’t they get expelled too?”
Olivia was stunned. Expelled? Then, she understood what was going on almost immediately and gave Eugene a dubious look. Don’t tell me… When he left just now, it was for this?
In that instant, she felt a warm feeling in her heart. He’s acting just like the child’s father and protecting us.
Eugene ignored them. He walked past them without a second glance but was stopped by Florence. “Wait…”
Florence had a delighted smile on her lips as she continued, “You have the surname ‘Nolan’, right? I don’t care which family you come from, but let me give you a kind warning. Olivia is not a virtuous woman; she was very wild in the past. That child of hers is the illegitimate child of a beggar! If you want to pursue a relationship with her, you better rethink your decision.”
Upon hearing those words, Olivia immediately flew into a rage. Rushing over, she grabbed Florence by the wrist. “The only reason I didn’t do anything to you is out of respect for your age! Don’t you dare take advantage of your seniority again! If I ever hear you saying anything inappropriate about my son again, I’ll make you regret it!” After saying that, she shoved Florence away.
“Hey, woman! Why are you always so quick to act violently?!” the woman yelled as she stepped up to stop Olivia.
Olivia’s entire body exuded a layer of cold air. Shaking that woman’s hand off, she snarled, “If somebody comes begging for death, what else can I do? Erica Horner, I’ve been respectful toward you on account of your children’s presence. Don’t you dare take advantage of me any more than this!”
Florence felt delighted upon seeing how furious Olivia was. Ignoring the fact that she had nearly fallen just now, she said to Eugene again, “You have to believe what I say. Olivia was trying to seduce her brother-in-law just two days ago! That is my son, Hugo Gray, of the Gray Group. You must know of him, right? She tried to seduce him because he is such an excellent man! My son and my daughter-in-law are in a good relationship; who would be interested in sullied goods like her?! You better open your eyes wide. Don’t be deceived by that appearance of hers!”
