In the end, Eugene took a deep breath. Olivia remained silent. She knew he was concerned about her feelings, so he did not blame her for anything. He must think I’m irrational.
If she had accepted his calls and not thrown a tantrum, Eugene would have waited for Azalea’s operation to finish and would not have felt so guilty. It was because of her willfulness that he was left with such a regret, which he would probably never forget about.
All of a sudden, she felt that their love was heavy. It was to the point where it felt like they should not even have gotten together in the first place. Instead, Azalea should have Eugene so that he could spend the rest of his life making it up to the woman.
“I’m fine. Just go to Nambahd and visit her. I understand now, and I won’t reject your calls again.” Eugene frowned. “What are you talking about? I’m not a doctor, so what’s the point of me going there?”
Olivia looked at him and said, “You owe her a favor. You can more or less repay it by keeping her company.” He glanced doubtfully at her. “There’s no need for that. Are you alright, Olivia?”
She drew a breath. I’m fine. I’m just tired. Goodbye. With that, she was ready to leave the car. He took her arm. “Wait a minute. What’s wrong?”
She sighed. “Nothing. I’m fine, and I’m not mad at you. If you want to bring North with you, come upstairs with me.” Then, she pushed the door open and left the vehicle.
Eugene was flustered for some reason. Her calmness was more unsettling than her fury, so. he quickly opened the door and called, “Olivia!”
She turned to look at him with a calm expression as though she was no longer furious. Nevertheless, he felt that something was off. If she was mad or jealous, it showed that she still loved him. Now, she seemed to be treating him distantly.
“Please don’t be mad. If you want North to stay here, let him keep you company for several days.” She asked, “Are you going somewhere?”
He was startled before replying, “No, I’m not.” She added, “If you don’t have time to look after him, just let him stay with me.”
Eugene suddenly realized that she was reading. too much into it. Heartbroken, he pulled the woman into his embrace and said gently, “I’m not going anywhere. I’ll stay home and keep you guys company. Please don’t get me wrong. I just want North to stay with you since you’re in a terrible mood.”
Olivia shook her head. “I’m in a good mood. Thanks for telling me the truth. If you’re not going anywhere, just bring North with you.”
He nodded dazedly and looked doubtfully at her. He felt something was off but could not state what it was. Subsequently, he followed her to the second floor and entered her house.
When Jewel and North saw them coming in together, they were joyful. “Have you guys made up?” He gaped at them with a tilted head. Olivia squatted and pulled North into her. embrace before adjusting his hair for him.. “Yeah. Go back with your daddy.”
North took a look at Eugene before shifting his attention to Olivia. “But I want to stay here with you for a longer time.”
After giving it some thought, she said, “You’ll stay here, then.” She glanced at Eugene. “Since North wants to stay here, why don’t you return several days later?”
Eugene replied. “Sure.” Then, he fixed his gaze on North. “Don’t make your mommy angry, alright?” North pursed his lips and glared at him. “Do you think I’m you?”
Eugene was rendered speechless. He stayed there for a while longer before leaving.
