Olivia didn’t say anything the whole time, but the two boys naturally took the new bowl of noodles when she brought it to them. They carefully tried a mouthful of the noodles before their eyes lit up with satisfaction. That’s right! This is what her standard tastes like! Eugene offered to wash the dishes after the meal. “Have some fruits.” After he was done with the dishes, he brought her a fresh platter of fruits, and they sat on the couch while munching on the fruits.
Olivia stabbed her fork into a slice of apple and placed it into her mouth without saying anything. Eugene and North exchanged looks before they both sat down beside Olivia. “Why did you punish North and me?’ Eugene asked with a smile. Olivia chewed on the apple while scoffing. “When did I do that? Don’t accuse me of something I didn’t do!”
“But… Why were our noodles so salty?” Eugene laughed. “No; mine was tasteless,” North added. Eugene laughed even harder after that. “You even made the punishments different, huh?” But Olivia didn’t utter a single word-she simply munched on her fruits and watched some TV without responding to the two boys. Eugene leaned even closer to her as he tried to coax her. ‘Tell us what we did. How are we going to learn from our mistakes otherwise?”
Olivia shot him a glare. “I wanted to give you a warning.” “What warning?” Eugene stared at her dazedly. She glared at him while uttering her words in a clear tone. “North belongs to me!”
He stared at her speechlessly. “Of course! No one’s snatching him away from you!” Even North looked somewhat exasperated when he heard his mother’s words. “So… Was my noodles tasteless because you wanted to warn me that Daddy belongs to you too?” he asked.
Olivia shot the boy a glare. “I’m warning you that you belong to me!” Eugene raised an eyebrow when he heard this. Great. How is it that I’m not involved in this at all? “What about me?” he asked.
Olivia pinched Eugene’s chin while speaking. “You? I don’t know who you belong to yet!” Eugene was speechless for a while. “Are you forcing me to get married to you now?” “Stop acting so shamelessly. How long have you been my boyfriend?” Olivia grumbled.
“Oh, so you still remember that I’m your boyfriend?” Eugene placed emphasis on the fact that he was her boyfriend. Olivia shrugged with an innocent look on her face. “You’re mine now, but I don’t know whose you might be in the future!”
Eugene hurriedly over and grabbed her legs before dragging her off the couch and onto his legs. Both of them sat face-to-face with her legs on his. “Tell me… What does that mean?” Olivia was shocked by his actions, so she instinctively grabbed onto his neck. This guy is way too strong. I’m at least 100 pounds. How can he just move me around like I’m nothing?
“What? It means what it means! Life is unpredictable; something might change in the next ten years, right?” she muttered. He gave her an icy look. “Are you planning to leave me? Do you have a backup plan already?”
Olivia took a gulp of her saliva before straightening her figure and holding her chin up. “I’m referring to you!” she said shyly. “What about me?” Eugene was stunned.
“You and North were mumbling to each other as if you guys had some sort of secret. I suspect that you only want your son and not his mother!” Olivia complained with a scoff.. Eugene was so amused yet exasperated that he started laughing. Why is she so adorable? She could’ve just asked us what we were talking about, but she spun it around and made things so difficult for herself. “Why don’t we get our marriage certificate now? Would you dare to do that?” he asked.
“In your dreams! You guys have already ostracized me, so why would I want to get married to you?” Olivia retorted. “You’re so good at sneaking out of things!” Eugene pinched her tiny nose as he spoke.
“I didn’t hide anything from you, Mommy. I found some stuff about Daddy’s love history, but I didn’t tell you about it as I was worried that you’d get angry, North explained.
