North also stepped forward and anxiously asked, “Mommy, are you injured?” Watching the anxious expressions on their faces, Olivia felt relieved. “No, don’t worry. I’m perfectly fine, see?”
Jewel chuckled. “Olivia was right. Looks like you all know about the incident, right?” Eugene immediately explained, “I’m not spying on you. I just had a feeling that many things seemed to be related to Christoff, so I had someone watch him. I never expected him to take you to the race.”
“Those people weren’t sent by you, were they?” Olivia asked. At her question, his face turned gloomy. “Would I send people to harm you?”
“I knew it.” Then, she continued with a smile, “Since Christoff helped me find Jewel last night, he insisted on me treating him to a meal. I felt like I owed him a favor, so I planned to treat him one and call it even. But then, he surprised me by taking me to a motorcycle race where we ran into Ben who started provoking us. So, I ended up getting implicated.”
Eugene reached out and held her in his arms, his face still displaying traces of fear. “It’s not that I don’t trust you. What am I supposed to do if something happens to you?”
Observing the affectionate display of the couple, Jewel deftly took North’s hand and guided him into the inner room, leaving only Eugene and Olivia outside.
Olivia lightly patted his back and comforted him, “Alright, I’m completely fine. Christoff and I could have lost our lives, yes, but I reacted quick enough.”
Eugene glared at her with a trace of anger. “Look at you joking, and I almost passed out when I heard about it! They were saying you flew off the cliff to the lower track. Questions started popping into my head. Were they for real? What was going on exactly? How did you do that?”
Looking at his worried expression, she couldn’t help but laugh. “Don’t worry. I’m standing here safe and sound, aren’t I?”
“You’re such a daredevil! But wait, when did you learn to ride a motorcycle? I don’t remember hearing about it before.”
“I’ve been riding for six or seven years now.” With a distressed expression, Eugene looked at her and said, “I don’t understand my girlfriend at all.” At that, Olivia gently laughed. “How long have we known each other?”
“Eight years,” he replied. She saw through his bluff and said, “It’s only been eight months, okay?” “Well, why don’t you tell me more about what you know?”
“I feel like you already know everything about me.” “Is there anything that you don’t know?” “Yeah, I don’t know how to cook or deal with relationship problems. And I also don’t know…”
Olivia looked at him, who was listening earnestly with a silly expression, and inexplicably found him cute. Then, she clung to his neck with both hands and continued with a smile, “How to let go of you.”
At those words, Eugene was stuck with happiness that left his mind blank as if colorful flowers had bloomed in his thought. As he confirmed the truth repeatedly, his eyes sparkled with joy, and he went from being cautious to overjoyed.
He feared that he might have misinterpreted her words as she rarely spoke affectionately to him. Although strictly speaking, what she said just now was not a sweet nothing. Nonetheless, at such a sensitive moment for both of them, he felt more content than ever.
Despite making up after their argument, he still felt uncertain. He was aware of the distance in her heart, so he didn’t dare to be too aggressive or let his guard down. He always felt that they couldn’t regain the closeness they once had. Now, she had brought them back to their old selves with just one sentence.
He abruptly wrapped his arms around her tightly and exclaimed like an excited child, “Olivia, my dear wife, you’re so amazing!” With a frown, Olivia pushed him away and reprimanded, “Stop calling me your wife.”
Looking at her gentle smile, he affectionately rubbed his forehead against hers and said, “Since you won’t let go of me, you’ll be my wife sooner or later.”
She was rendered speechless. He’s getting too carried away. “Alright, you can let me go now. I just barely escaped death. If you keep hugging me like this, I might die from suffocation.”
With that, he promptly released her and smiled foolishly at her impeccable face. “Don’t worry. Christoff won’t be around for long. I’ll make sure he stays away from you.”
“What did you do?” she asked puzzledly.
