Chapter 168 Remember That I’m Waiting for You
Eugene really liked Olivia?
She instinctively took a step back as confusion and fear etched across her face. “E-Eugene, are you
joking with me?”
Eugene took a step forward.
Olivia instinctively took another step back.
Eugene frowned at that as he reached out to grab her hand. Seeing that she was still struggling, he
pushed her against the wall and inched closer. Immediately, the distance between them was reduced to
none.
Eugene’s voice was low and raspy, making her feel somewhat safe. “Don’t be afraid. I won’t force you
to accept me, but I just wanted to tell you how I feel. Olivia, I really like you!”
Olivia felt as if thousands of horses had just stomped past her chest. She didn’t know why her body
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtreacted so uncontrollably. She was already a mother of a seven-year-old child and had received tons of
confession in the past. Was it really necessary to react this way?
Olivia instinctively pushed him away. “L-Let go off me first.”
Who in their right mind would press someone against the wall and confess to them? This scenario
seems more like a robbery, no?
Eugene backed away a little before he asked with his raspy voice, “Do you have anything you want to
ask me?”
Olivia’s dumbfounded mind started churning at that. “W-Why do you like me?”
Hand in his pocket, although he looked like he was trying to act cool, he still looked slightly out of place.
“I’ll answer this formally. You’re smart, gorgeous, and have an attitude. You’re also a competent person,
making you an ideal girlfriend.”
Olivia frowned upon hearing his ‘formal’ answer. “Is there an informal version?”
“If I tell you that I don’t know why I like you, would you think that I’m just trying to brush you off? To be
honest, I’m unsure myself. I only know that I was quite embarrassed when I misunderstood you initially,
so I wanted to make it up to you. However, the more I know you, the more I realized that you’re so…”
Eugene suddenly lowered his head and chuckled before he looked up at her and said, “Adorable!”
Olivia facepalmed. That word really didn’t suit her at all.
Even Olivia herself didn’t think that she was cute.
“My emotions started to change along with yours. I could feel your happiness, your sadness. I can’t
control my temper when I see you getting wronged, and I want to tear apart those who bullied you. I
couldn’t fall asleep after I heard that you like another man. I didn’t want to confess to you so soon
because I wanted it to happen naturally when you finally fall in love with me as well, but… I can’t stand
it anymore. I’m so terrified. I’m terrified that you might really fall in love with another person.”
Eugene stared at her intently. Then, he inched closer to her again.
Olivia immediately straightened up her back and stared back at him. Overwhelmed by the situation, she
could feel her mind going blank again.

Olivia shifted to the side as she struggled to get away from the man before turning to him anxiously. “I
don’t like anyone, and I’m not planning to like anyone. I’m thankful that you like me, but I don’t think
that we’re suitable for each other. I’m not saying that you’re not a good person, but it’s just that I’m not
planning to look for a boyfriend right now. Well… I’ll be leaving now. North can sleep over at yours. I’ll
pick him up tomorrow.”
Then, she turned around and wanted to leave.
However, Eugene reached out and dragged her back. He felt his heart aching when he saw her
anxious expression. Taking a deep breath, he consoled her, “Olivia, don’t be in a rush to reject me. I
just want you to know that I like you.”
Eugene’s voice was slow and soft. Even his movement when he reached out to move her baby hair to
the back of her ear was really gentle.
“Olivia, remember that I’m waiting for you if you want a boyfriend one day!”
Then, Eugene took a step back. “North is already asleep, so just let him sleep here. I’ll send him back
tomorrow.”
