Chapter 749
Eugene snorted disdainfully. "Oh well, it's not like I can help that Hayden likes her pretentious attitude. She wasn't
doing all that for my sake, though. She merely wanted to ensure that she did not embarrass herself." Alex was
rendered speechless after hearing that.
Eugene was placing the hotpot ingredients on the table when he shouted in the direction of the living room,
"Dinnertime!"
As soon as Olivia heard him, she stood up and said to Jewel, "C'mon, dinner is ready." Jewel looked at Olivia and
replied, "Awww, Olivia, you're so blessed!"
Even though Olivia smiled blissfully when she heard Jewel's envious tone, she still pretended to be annoyed at
Eugene. "Blessed? Gosh, bet you didn't see how he sometimes annoys me to death." In that instant, she thought of
something and looked at Jewel mischievously. "So... how are things with you and Alex?"
Jewel waved her hands and replied, "We have nothing to do with each other! I'm just really grateful to him. You

to expose them. It's impossible that Road Enterprises is encountering a shortage of employees and that Alex
coincidentally can't himself a bodyguard!
Ellen stayed at Eugene's place for three days before returning to Promise Island, leaving Olivia feeling empty.
Fortunately, many people visit her these days for fear that she would feel bored as she was left at home alone.
Brian, Alex, Jewel, Kate, and Nathan took turns seeing her. Moreover, since Ellen returned, Olivia had not stepped
foot in her fashion studio, but she had not been idle either. She designed a dress for Ellen at home. Ellen loved it so
much that she praised the dress whenever she met others while she smiled in contentment.
Many people gathered at Olivia's house to have dinner with her every night. Eugene had been hard at work,
preparing them dinner every day. After the guests left the house and North returned to his room, Eugene finally had
the chance to hug Olivia. Unfortunately, so many people were visiting these few days that he could not give her a
proper good hug.
As Olivia returned the hug, she looked at him and teased, "How are you coping with your new responsibility as a
chef?"
Eugene knew that she was teasing him, so he rubbed his forehead against Olivia's affectionately, "Adapting quite
well. Though I have to say, there is one part that I can't seem to adapt..."
Olivia frowned slightly when she heard that. "What part?" That was when Eugene looked at her and smiled
ambiguously, and Olivia instantly got the hint. She was rendered speechless at his dirty thoughts, and her intuition
told her that the man wanted to tease her again.
Her intuition was accurate because she heard him continue, "I've been wanting to get intimate with you but haven't
been able to, so I've been enduring a lot."
She smirked. "Surprise, surprise. When do you ever care about what others think?"
"Well, I don't care about others, but I still have to restrain myself in front of my mother and son. What if that little
rascal learns from me?"
She laughed at what Eugene said. "You're right. Let go of me quickly. Otherwise, our son will see us."
When he heard that, not only did he not let her loose, he even tightened his hug on purpose. "Don't you think that
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthis is a great opportunity our son has given us since he's already returned to his room?"
She was simultaneously annoyed and amused at his reply and pouted playfully while pushing him lightly. "You're
quite smooth, aren't you?"
"Why don't I go to your room?" He seized that opportunity to ask her as the atmosphere was getting more heated.
"No!"
"But I want to kiss you."
"No way!"
"Just kiss, nothing else."
She suddenly laughed and snorted arrogantly. "Liar."
In that instant, he recalled that she once said all men were accustomed to lying, and he wanted to defend himself.
"I swear, I'll just hug you and nothing else." But then, something flashed across his mind, and he could not help but
laugh as he continued saying, "Okay, fine. I admit that I want something else, but I'll never force you if you don't
consent to it!"
She gave him a coquettish glare as she replied, "You're not allowed to have any dirty thoughts."
To which he replied, "I can control my actions, but I can't control my mind, especially when I'm beside you. What
you're asking violates human nature. It's akin to you prohibiting cats from eating catnip, but you can't force cats to
forget about catnip."
