North glanced at the trio and Eugene before. nodding his head. “Okay” Then, Olivia and Eugene exchanged glances and stood up. “If you miss me, you can ask Daddy to bring you over.”
“Okay. North nodded. With that, they were divided into two groups. Olivia and Jewel took the trio back to Cardinal Tower, whereas Eugene and North went to grab North’s bag at the hotel before heading back to Muse Peninsula.
During the trip home, none of them said anything. Eugene didn’t dare say anything since he felt guilty, whereas North didn’t feel like talking. After Eugene stopped the car, he wanted to help North to grab his bag. However, the latter snatched it away before he could do so. Looking at the little boy’s figure, Eugene felt like crying.
Although he had never wanted to hurt North, the worst eventually came. When the duo got into the elevator, North pressed the button heading toward the 59th floor. It was apparent that he didn’t want to follow Eugene back home. On the other hand, Eugene didn’t do anything. After all, no matter which home they went to, it was the same.
However, as soon as North got out of the elevator, he said without turning his head, “I want to be alone tonight.” There was no way Eugene would allow him to do so. “No way. You are my son. I will be with you wherever you are.”
North took a deep breath and said, “I can take care of myself. Just go and take care of someone else!”
Eugene sighed. He knew North was upset about what had happened. Thus, he chased after North and held the latter’s hand. “Who should I take care of?”
North struggled his hand out of Eugene’s and ignored the latter. He knew that Eugene understood his words. Eugene carried him into the house and asked, “Why are you ignoring me?”
“If I knew you had so many children, I wouldn’t have looked for you.” North looked at him with at serious expression.
“I’m sorry, son. I know you and Mommy aren’t happy about it,” Eugene said softly as he sat on the couch with North on his lap. “I didn’t want you to hate me. That is why I didn’t admit they were my children and didn’t tell you the truth. However, I’m very touched that you helped me today. I know you are upset, but I can assure you that you are my first child. The reason I can be with Mommy is because of you. Thus, I will cherish you two. You and Mommy are the most important people in my life!l”
When North heard his words, he had the same reaction as Olivia-he was annoyed. “Can you stop causing trouble for once? You just got back together with Mommy after a fight, yet three kids are claiming to be your sons out of nowhere. Can you get your life back together? Although I can accept that I have three younger brothers, what about Mommy? Do you think she’d feel happy that you have children with someone else?” As he spoke, he pushed Eugene out of frustration. He didn’t want to talk to the man.
“I know you guys are upset about this, but I assure you I didn’t do anything to wrong your mommy. I don’t know who the mother of those kids is. You saw it with your own eyes too, right? I asked them many questions, yet they couldn’t give us any useful information. Don’t you think this is strange?” Hearing his words, North calmed down and said, “I’ll investigate them.”
“How are you going to do that?” asked Eugene. “I was the one who helped them cover their tracks when they came to Summer City. Thus, I can follow this trace to find their address. I just need some time,” said North.
“Don’t worry. As long as you and Mommy trust me, I don’t care who their mother is. Blake told me that they snuck out to get here, meaning someone would come and look for them. When that time comes, we will know who they truly are,” said Eugene.
Hearing his words, North side-eyed him and said, “I was the one who covered up their tracks. Do you think anyone would be able to find them?”
At that moment, Eugene was startled and thought, That’s right. He is Wily Rabbit, so no one can crack his code easily. Thinking about it, he asked, “Are you going to recover their tracks?”
“No,” replied North. “I can’t do that since I have already made a promise to them. Who knows what kind of person will be looking for them? What if they are truly in danger?”
Eugene smiled and ruffled his head. “What a trustworthy person you are. However, how are we going to uncover the truth?”
