"Mommy hasn't fully recovered from her injury yet.So why don't I make you a meal instead?"
Eugene offered.
"Your cooking is horrible.I want Mommy to do it! Or...You can get Mommy to teach you how to do it,"
North suggested.
Olivia rolled her eyes helplessly.
"Forget it.I'll do it on my own.I only have a few signature dishes, so they'll no longer be special if I teach you guys
how to make all of them!"
Eugene shot Olivia a worried gaze.
"Will you be okay?"
"Of course.It's just cooking.I'm able to take care of myself; she replied before heading to the kitchen.Eugene stared
at the kid puzzledly.I can't believe North is getting his mother to prepare a meal when she's injured.Is it because...
"Do you have something to tell me?" Eugene asked.
"I found something else, North explained.
"What is it?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Do you know who was the one who schemed against you seven years ago?"
He gave his father a mysterious smirk.
Eugene had a guess, but he asked for the answer anyway.
"Who was it?"
"Let's talk inside," North replied.
Olivia gazed at the two boys confusedly.
Why are the two guys acting all mysterious? Then, out of curiosity, she dropped the noodles into the pot of water
before sneakily following behind them.She stuck her ear against the door, and she could hear the surprise in
Eugene's voice as he spoke.
"I knew that she was the one! I thought it was Nathan all along!"
Olivia frowned from behind the door.
Who is it? Who are they talking about? Who's the one? Olivia pressed her ear against the door a little harder.
"Is that why you sent Nathan overseas?" North asked.
"That wasn't just a way to discipline him.He was too rebellious of a child to keep around here, but I've always made
sure that someone was around to watch over him even when he was there," Eugene explained.
"There were a few times when the loan sharks nearly brought Nathan away.He's only safe because Mommy took
action to protect him.How could you let that happen if you have people watching over him?" North protested.
"I know.I had to let him experience a poor man's life so that he'd understand how hard it is to earn and get rich"
Eugene replied.
North let out a laugh.
"Well, what an experience! Nathan is now the stingiest person I know"
"Isn't that good? He's a whole new man" Eugene replied.
"Yeah.Godmother wouldn't ever date him otherwise!" North agreed vehemently.
Olivia pressed her lips together as she thought, Since when did North and Eugene get so close to each other?
They're even talking behind my back.
I can't believe North once claimed that he'd be my little angel forever! Yet now, he's running off to someone else!
Because of this, the atmosphere turned rather odd during dinner...
Olivia feasted on her food while observing the looks of the two guys in front of her.
North took a mouthful of the noodles before knitting his tiny brows together.
Why does this taste so bland? Eugene, on the other hand, didn't have tasteless noodles.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis was...too flavorful.
It was so salty that he nearly spat it out the first time he put it into his mouth.
Olivia took that opportunity to speak in a ‘sweet’ tone.
"How is it? Is it good?"
Both father and son exchanged a glance before they turned to nod at Olivia.
"It's good!" they replied at the same time.
Olivia nearly choked when she heard their words.
Did both of them lose their taste buds? She took a mouthful of her own bowl of noodles.I didn't mess it up and give
the wrong bow! to myself, did I? She slurped some noodles down her throat.
Mmm! This is perfect.
I was born to be a cook! Then, she looked at the two boys who were staring at her.
"What is it? Eat up!"
Eugene and North exchanged looks as they thought to themselves, Perhaps she just lost her magic touch this time.
How else can she not realize how salty (tasteless) it is? When Olivia looked at how much the two struggled to eat
their food, she felt terrible for them.
So, she stood up and headed to the kitchen, where she brought out two bowls of soup before placing them in front
of the two boys.
