Olivia pushed him away heartlessly. “You’ve already gotten rid of all the evidence. So what else is there for me to smell?” But Eugene grinned as he held onto her hand and explained himself. “Penny’s place is like a pigsty-it’s filled with all sorts of smells. I was worried that the smell would suffocate you, so I went back to take a shower first.”
The truth was that he didn’t want Olivia to smell the heavy stench of blood on him. “Aren’t I sweet to you?” he added while edging closer to her. She rolled her eyes at him before turning her head away. “These are just groundless statements that you’re making. Who knows what the truth is!”
Eugene rubbed his head against the girl’s head. “You need to trust me!” Olivia was amused by how he was twisting and turning his head, so she giggled loudly. However, his rough hair made her skin itch, and she shrank her head backward to dodge him. ‘Alright, alright. Hurry up and get off of me.” “Let me kiss you.”
“North is home, Olivia protested. Eugene looked all over the place, but he didn’t see the kid anywhere, so he edged closer to Olivia once more. “It’s fine. He’s somewhere outside.” Olivia couldn’t wrestle her way out of the man’s arms, so he pinned her down in the end. He knew that. there was an injury on her lips, so he didn’t kiss her there. Instead, he pressed his lips against her cheek before sucking on it harshly.
“Ah!” Olivia let out a wail. The man was so strong that even his kisses hurt. He knew that he was probably about to get beaten up by her, so he shifted his body far away from hers after kissing her. Olivia had been genuinely annoyed at first, but she couldn’t get angry when she saw the huge grin on the man’s face. She didn’t just fail to get angry. If anything, she thought that he was… cute! It doesn’t matter how mature a man can look on the outside; they’re all just big babies on the inside.
Olivia saw a different side of Eugene that she hadn’t seen in the past. This side of him was silly, but it was also extremely adorable. “Did it turn red?” She pointed at her cheek grumpily. Eugene tilted his head sideways to glance at her before giving her a meek nod as if he were a kid who had just done something wrong.
“How dare you nod! How am I supposed to meet others in this state?” Olivia charged toward him immediately. Eugene pretended to dodge her, but he didn’t actually want to avoid her attack. Rather, he lay flat before catching the girl in his arms when she leaped toward him. She lay on top of him as she reached her. arms out to pinch his neck. He played along by faking a pained expression.
“Tell me! Are you going to do this again?!” she cried. But Eugene didn’t say much. “Speak up! Or else… I’ll end your life!” she growled angrily.
“I can’t answer you!” he cried. The moment she heard his reply, an exasperated look formed on the girl’s face. He could’ve just said yes or no in response to my question. I can’t believe he gave such a long reply instead. North, who had been standing by the side of the hall, stared at the couple speechlessly. I stopped playing such childish games when I was in class a few years ago. I can’t believe Mommy and Daddy are doing it now!
“When’s dinner?” The small boy’s voice was like a button that immediately forced the couple to pause their playful actions. “I’m just asking. You guys can go on,” North mumbled before turning to leave.
“Come here, son. Eugene stopped his son from leaving. North stuck his hands into his pockets as he walked over calmly. “What is it? Are you going to force me to witness your lovey-dovey acts?”
“How do you know what lovey-dovey acts are, you young brat!” Eugene replied with a grin. North shot the man a side-eye. “Stop treating me like I’m mentally disabled, North grumbled. His words made Olivia chuckle as she pulled him over to sit on the couch. “My baby’s the smartest,” she replied. Eugene ruffled the boy’s head. “What do you feel like eating?”
“I want noodles,” the boy replied.
