Nathan tightened his arms around Kate. His heart was on the verge of leaping out of his chest. He wanted to stay close to her, as close as possible. His lips pressed against her forehead without him noticing.
However, Kate was becoming even more embarrassed as she tried to push him away. He smiled and let go slightly. “Katie, I’ll be more than happy to lend you a hand, too.”
North grinned. The game continued, and more often than not, he had gotten the highest number. It was as if everyone had been secretly hoping for North to win.
Once again, he had the highest number, but this time, it was Olivia who had the lowest. She wanted to drink instead, but everyone else refused and insisted on having North make a request. North chuckled and said, “In that case, kiss a man, Mommy!”
Everyone in the room started cheering since they were eager for the show. They could easily tell that North was trying to set up his parents. Even if they didn’t figure that out, they would’ve still noticed that expectant look in Eugene’s eyes as he stared at Olivia.
As for Olivia, she gave North a disgruntled glare. How can you ask me to kiss a man?How can I kiss in front of everyone? The crowd began to urge, “Hurry up! You need to keep it going for ten minutes!” “Brian, you’re in charge of covering the child’s eyes.”
“Kiss! Kiss!” North was a little speechless. “I don’t need. anyone else’s help. I can cover my own eyes.” He covered his eyes with his tiny hands before saying, “Don’t kiss for ten minutes. I can’t cover my eyes for that long.”
Everyone laughed at his comment. Olivia finally made her move under everyone’s eager gazes. She got up and slowly made her way over to Eugene.
Eugene had been staring at her the whole time. His eyes were full of anticipation and adoration. He tried his best not to smile too widely. Even though they had kissed so many times now, his heart was still beating wildly right at this moment.
Yet…
When Olivia’s lips pressed against North’s face, Eugene’s expression turned gloomy. It was the feeling of someone who had all of his hopes dashed.
It was the feeling of being so disappointed that even all the swearing in the world wouldn’t be enough to get the frustration out of his heart. Eugene was so vexed that his throat tightened up. He wanted to rant, but he had no reason to!
She played right by the rules of the game! He was the one who got his hopes up! He wanted to curse, but he didn’t want to lose his dignity and he became even more exasperated when Olivia gave him a smug look. Just you wait, Olivia!
Meanwhile, she went back to her seat while everyone stared at her in shock. Alex wanted to help Eugene out. “That doesn’t count. North isn’t a man.” Olivia huffed haughtily, “How is my son not at man? He’s a little man.”
“Sure. Fine. Whatever you say. Let’s continue,” Alex said. The game carried on, and a few rounds later, it was finally time for Eugene to get his revenge. He had the highest number and Olivia had the lowest.
Still, for the sake of getting his revenge, he had drunk a lot of wine. He was grinning smugly at Olivia. Olivia felt like she was going to start perspiring.
“I’ll drink the wine.” Nearly everyone chorused in unison, “You’re not allowed to drink.” She was at a loss for words. “When did I become public enemy number one?” Kate chuckled. “We all want to see the kiss.”
“Yeah, you guys kiss. North and I will take a walk,” Brian added. North turned to Brian. “Why am I going out on a walk with you? I want to see the kiss too.”
Brian stood up and ruffled the little boy’s hair. “What’s there for you to see, you little brat?” He pulled North out of his seat and took him out of the room.
