Olivia sighed in response. “What excuse can you use if we only visit her two weeks later?” “My girlfriend wants to see her too but can’t leave because of work, so we couldn’t come until now, Eugene answered. ‘Isn’t this good enough?”
To that, Olivia nodded and said, “I’ll check with Director Norris and see if we can shoot all of my scenes at once. I’ll go with you once I’m done.”
Having an inexplicable feeling that he was given a second chance at life, Eugene hugged her tightly, relieved that she was willing to trust him. Thank goodness! I nearly lost her.
“Okay,” Eugene answered huskily before the couple returned to Haven Lounge, where Jewel and the kids observed their emotions. Seeing that the two were doing okay, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief..
“Carter, you guys at least know where you’re from, right?’ Olivia directed her gaze toward the triplets after returning to her seat.
“We’re Mastarian, Carter replied. Hearing this, Olivia felt relieved. They’re not from Nambahd. That’s a sign that their mother isn’t Azalea, right?
“But we’ve performed in many places,” Blake added, prompting Olivia to ask, “Do you guys know Professor Gedding’s full name, then?”
The boys shook their heads in response. “We call him Grandpa while everyone else calls him Professor Gedding.” Still unsatisfied, Olivia pressed for more answers. “Are there any other people in your family?”
“We have uncles and aunts, Carter explained. “Many, many of them.” At that, Olivia and Eugene looked at each other. They couldn’t get any useful information out of the boys! Just then, North spoke up. “Give me the address of where you used to live.”
“It’s not that we don’t want to tell you, North, but Grandpa forbids us from telling anyone. Either way, it’s also very secluded. You guys won’t be able to find it even if I tell you,” Carter explained.
“And how do you know I can’t locate it?” North argued, unconvinced. “I’m not lying. Not even a cunning rabbit will be able to locate it,” Carter replied gravely, rendering North at a loss for words. He couldn’t believe Carter proclaimed his failure when there were only so many places he couldn’t hack into.
“I’m sure you know that your daddy is also my daddy, so I won’t harm you. Give me the address. I’ll try to locate it.”
At that, Carter gazed at his brothers and shook his head. “I’m sorry, North. We promised Grandpa we wouldn’t reveal it, or both Grandpa and us would be in danger.”
“Forget it, North. No need to give them a hard. time.” Olivia stepped in, then turned to the triplets. “Did you boys come out this time to look for your father?”
In response, the triplets gazed at each other and exchanged their thoughts before Carter spoke on behalf of the three of them. “Yes. But we don’t like this Daddy, so we’ve decided not to acknowledge him as our father. You’re all we need.”
While Eugene was at a loss for words, Olivia shifted her gaze to the man and said teasingly, “Some father you are.”
At that, Eugene explained to the triplets, “I treated you guys terribly that day because I thought a bad guy sent you over to mess with. me. It wasn’t directed at you. Will you guys let me make it up to you?”
However, the triplets shook their heads after exchanging glances with each other. A chuckle escaped Olivia, and she suggested, “How about this? You guys can decide whether to acknowledge Eugene as your father after he’s found your mother.”
With that, the triplets went to a corner and deliberated quietly. “Can he really help us find Mommy?” Blake questioned, and Carter argued, “But isn’t our mommy dead?”
“Grandpa also said our daddy’s dead, but look at him sitting there, alive and kicking, Blake argued. Just then, Terry, who had been silent all this while, spoke up. “We already have our godmother, though.”
Blake and Carter glanced at each other in response. “You’re right! Would Godmother think we don’t like her anymore if we find Mommy?” “Also, there’s a chance that Mommy will fight Godmother over Daddy.”
With that, the three nodded at each other and returned to their seats when Carter spoke on behalf of him and his brothers again. “We’ve decided not to look for our mommy anymore. You’re all we need, Godmother!”
Olivia was shocked and flattered. She couldn’t believe she meant so much to them that they would choose her over their birth mother.
