Eugene thought he saw the words ‘Haven Lounge’ at the door when he pushed the private room door open. Wait, isn’t this the room I’m looking for? Could it be…
Before he could register what was happening, the door swung open before two adults and three children came into view. Olivia, Jewel, and the triplets?!
The discovery stunned him, and he had a moment of delusion that he was in a soap opera. I’ve just found my sons and have yet to inform Olivia about it. We can’t meet like this! To think they know Olivia. Wait, no! Olivia isn’t their godmother, is she?!
The thought sent shivers down his spine, and he couldn’t help thinking of the possibility that Olivia already knew the triplets were his sons.
I’m going to die a dire death… Eugene thought. The crowd inside the private room was surprised as well, especially Olivia, whose gaze bore into Eugene. This is a couple’s restaurant. Who is he seeing?
The Rogers brothers, too, widened their eyes with incredulity before looking at each other. To think Daddy actually knows Godmother!
Blake had already told them earlier that day that Eugene acknowledged them as his sons. However, they didn’t know what they could do with having a father anymore.
With a father like Eugene, not only would they have to bear his suspicions and doubts, but they would also have to endure his intimidating gazes, not to mention Eugene wanting to feed them to the sharks; it wasn’t worth it at all.
Hence, the three of them decided to disown their father. “What are you doing here? It took Olivia quite some time to recover from her shock.
“Daddy’s come to look for us.” North hurriedly intervened, then pulled a chair out for Eugene.. “Come, Daddy. You sit here.”
At that, Eugene glanced warmly at North, thanking him for not undermining his position. in front of Olivia. “I’ve come to see you guys,” he said after sitting down.
He wasn’t exactly lying, for he had indeed come to look for them. However, Olivia remained skeptical. “How did you know we were here, then?”
At that, Eugene took a deep breath. He knew he couldn’t hide it anymore. This wasn’t the best time, but Olivia would ignore him completely if he chose to lie to her again. Hence, after a quick deliberation, he said honestly, ‘I am still completely lost about this, Olivia, I swear. I wanted to investigate it thoroughly before telling you about this, but since I’ve run into you today, I’ll tell you the truth. Take it easy and hear me out, okay?”
Olivia frowned in response. She was already. insecure in the first place, and the episode with Christoff affected her greatly. She had barely convinced herself when Eugene came in and tensed up the atmosphere again. Can’t a girl get a breather?! Does everybody think I have a strong heart?!
Then, she looked into his eyes and found uneasiness. This isn’t about his illegitimate child, is it? Who did he have it with? Azalea?
At that, she forced herself to calm down. Whatever will happen, will happen. However, she remained tense and unresponsive for a long time. Eugene’s heart broke, and he didn’t know how to break the news using the least damage.
“Eugene, why don’t you take my seat?” Jewel offered, noticing Eugene’s worry. Grateful for Jewel’s gesture, he got up and switched places with her. He then sat next to Olivia, holding her hand with an aching heart.
“Olivia, don’t overthink things. I swear I didn’t do you wrong.” “What is it you want to say, then?” Olivia blurted. “This is about your illegitimate son, isn’t it?”
Her words took Eugene aback, and his grip on her hand tightened unconsciously. His gaze, too, diverted for a split second. “S-So you know?”
Olivia closed her eyes in response. Oh, God! He tells me to trust him, yet he always acts so profligately. Can he even blame Christoff for getting in between us?!
At that, she flung his hand away angrily and hissed with bloodshot eyes, asking, “What else are you hiding from me?!”
