“My name is North Maxwell.” Then, Charlotte continued her introduction. “His name is North Maxwell, and he is my friend.”
“I see. Let’s eat together.” The old lady waved at North. “No thanks, Grandma. I have already eaten.” North quickly shook his head.
Only then did Charlotte look at him and pouted. “That uncle of yours has such a cold personality. He doesn’t even acknowledge my existence.”
Hearing her words, North smiled and whispered in her ear, “You have to stay strong. Once you are his girlfriend, you can avenge yourself. Now that you think about it, do you feel motivated?”
“You are quite mischievous!” Charlotte laughed and ruffled his hair. “I’m just helping you out,” said North..
“Thank you, North. I will do my best.” Charlotte smiled.
“Well then, I’ll be going. Bye, North said as he walked away. He would be at ease once Brian got together with Charlotte. Although he didn’t like Brian, he adored Charlotte. Thus, he felt that it would be amazing to get them together.
In the meantime, Olivia smiled at Charlotte. After they left the restaurant, she asked North, “Who were you talking to just now?”
“It’s her. The girl that I told you about.”
“Who?” Olivia was confused. “The girl that bumped into Uncle Brian. She likes him,” said North. Olivia was surprised. “Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” she asked with a hint of regret.
“What’s wrong?” “I didn’t take a good look at her.” As Olivia spoke, she looked at Jewel. “Did you see her face, Jewel?” Jewel nodded and replied, “She looks beautiful.”
“Isn’t she kind of young, though? I don’t think she is an adult.” Olivia seemed worried. “She is. She turned eighteen on the day we met her,” replied North.
“Eighteen… Brian is twenty-six, so there is an eight-year gap between them. She is still too young for him,” said Olivia.
“Don’t worry about it.” Eugene chuckled. “If I didn’t know any better, I would have thought you were the girl’s mother.”
Hearing his words, Olivia glared at him. “Haven’t you heard the saying that sisters-in-law are like moms, only cooler? I’m worried they won’t have anything in common if they have a huge age gap…” Her words seemed considerate for a second. Yet, her following words left the others speechless. “What if Brian wastes her time?”
So much for acting as a considerate sister-in-law, the others thought. “Uncle Brian is ignoring her now,” said North. “At least he still has some morality in him.” Olivia huffed.
“I think he has determination. Although Miss Charlotte keeps sending him messages, he still ignores her,” said North.
Olivia twitched her lips and said, “He is just a blockhead.” Then, she pondered momentarily before saying, “Though, this is nice. While he is testing the girl’s patience, he is also testing himself. If they get together after some time, they might be perfect for each other.”
Eugene looked at the trio. “Where do you guys live? I’ll drive you home.” Carter looked at him and said arrogantly, “I don’t want you to drive us home. I want Godmother to send us home.”
The other two nodded their heads in agreement. Looking at their reactions, Eugene was speechless. Olivia spoke up. “I’ll send them home.” Then, she looked at Eugene and said, “Take North home. You’ll sleep with him tonight.”
“No. I want to sleep with you.” North took a step back. Olivia hugged him gently and cooed, saying, “Go home, okay? You can’t eat well or sleep well at the hotel. I’ll be back soon.”
Eugene knew Olivia was giving him a chance to fix things. Although North didn’t say anything today, that didn’t mean he was upset. North only held back his emotions because Olivia said nothing. Thus, Eugene crouched down and said softly, “That’s right. I don’t feel like eating. when you aren’t home. Don’t you want to eat the spicy crayfish and braised pork ribs I made?” Hearing his words, North pouted and said nothing.
“Don’t worry. I’ll pick you up if we have any gatherings with Carter and the others. I promise I won’t leave you out of it,” said Olivia.
