Chapter 143 Having Dumplings
Reading Olivia’s mind, Eugene shot her a look and protested, “My peeling skill has improved.”
Since he had figured out what was on her mind, Olivia stopped holding it back and burst into laughter.
Ignoring her mockery, Eugene focused on peeling the apple with a knife. Although he was still inept at
peeling apples, his skill had improved significantly since the last time he did it. Moreover, it was
impressive that he never broke up the apple skin.
After peeling the apple, he passed it to her and looked as proud as a child who was waiting for a
praise. “How is it?”
Olivia’s lips curved into a smile. “Alright, you’re amazing.”
Eugene thought to himself that he had peeled more than tens of apples at home before he achieved
this level of skill. However, those apples were left rotten and wasted.
A while later, Kate pressed down the door handle and walked in with take-aways. Seeing Eugene by
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe bed, she smiled in embarrassment. “Did I come too early?”
Eugene didn’t respond to her. Of course you’ve come too early. You shouldn’t even have come!
Olivia heaved a sigh of relief and said, “You’ve come at the right time. I’m starving. What did you buy
for me?”
Kate replied with a smile, “I’ve bought some dumplings for you and a poke bowl from another shop. Oh,
there’s also a bowl of soup.”
Olivia was overjoyed. “How did you know that I wanted to eat dumplings?”
“Well, I know you very well!”
With that, she put down the food.
Eugene placed a cushion behind Olivia’s back, raised the bed a little, and placed a bed tray on her bed.
After that, he opened the take-aways for her and passed her a spoon. He did all these smoothly and
naturally.
Olivia took over the spoon and said thanks.
Kate said, “Mr. Nolan, please have a taste as well. These dumplings are delicious. I’ve bought different
fillings.”
Olivia quickly chimed in, “That’s right. The shop has been around for years, and their dumplings are
wonderful.”
With that, she reflexively extended the dumpling she had just scooped up to him.
Eugene was stunned and gazed at her eyes. As the spoon came closer, he slowly slurped it into his
mouth.
Olivia’s face blushed in an instant. She had wanted to pass him the spoon, but she had forgotten that
there was already a dumpling on the spoon. Unexpectedly, he directly slurped the dumpling into his
mouth.
What should I do? There’s no way I should continue using this spoon. Keep calm!
Flustered, she pretended to be calm and directly passed him the spoon. “Take it. We’ll eat the
dumplings together.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEugene flashed a smile at her as he chewed on the dumpling. “I’m good. Please eat it.”
Olivia was on the brink of bursting into tears as she forcefully passed the spoon to him. “Take it!”
If he doesn’t take it, how am I going to take a new spoon?
After he took over the spoon, she continued nonchalantly, “I can’t finish so much food.”
Eugene smiled without saying a word. Although he could read her mind, he decided not to expose her.
He was more than content to see her blushing.
Kate felt like she was the extra one between the lovey-dovey couple, wondering why they had become
so close to each other after she had left for only a few hours.
After Eugene ate a few more dumplings with Olivia, he reluctantly left the place.
After that, Kate gazed at Olivia with a stealthy look and teased, “You said you didn’t like him, but look
what you did with him!”
At that moment, Olivia just wanted to get a place to go into hiding. “Shut up, and don’t ask me!”
Looking at her upset expression, Kate was torn between laughter and tears. “Did you act weirdly
because Eugene was around?”
