A stern Olivia pointed at Eugene and her son. âYeah, you two will throw tantrums when youâre wasted!â Eugene frowned. âNo, I donât. And Iâm not even drunk.â
She eyed him in silence. âNot even drunk,â he said. I guess itâs up to me to remind them what they did when they were drunk!
She pointed at North. âYou cried like a little baby!â
Then, she turned her finger to Eugene. âAnd you called a door brother. A door! You two sit on the bed and think about what you did! I am not dealing with this.â With that, she got up and went to the bathroom. Eugene and North stared at each other in astonishment. North laughed. âSo, you called a door brother, huh?â
Eugeneâs face fell. I canât seem to recall doing that. I remember kissing her, but calling a door brother? Really now? âAnd you cried like a little. baby, huh?â he retorted. North frowned. âNo, I donât. I donât even remember doing that.â âNeither do I. I think your mommy lied to us.â
He said, âIn any case, this stays between us.â
Eugene agreed. âItâs a deal.â When Olivia returned to the room, North and Eugene had agreed not to bring up the incident of them being wasted. Two pairs of eyes were on her as soon as she stepped out of the bathroom. âWhat do you want?â
North huddled closer and grinned. âCan you keep what happened last night a secret?â Olivia looked at Eugene and asked, âYou want me to keep it a secret as well?â
Eugene smiled. âWell, I donât really care much about that. Iâm your boyfriend, anyway.â She was rendered speechless at his response. She brought the little episode to a close the next day as they had a case to settle and school was starting soon for North.
Eugene and Olivia had their own work to settle. They had delayed it for too long and couldnât stay on Promise Island any longer.
Eugene dispatched more bodyguards to the villa tor keep the patients safe. He also asked Brian to stay around for a few more days if he had time..
After he made a long to-do list for everyone, they took Nicole and Theodore back to Summer City. The first thing they did was take the two of them to the police and hand the evidence and testimonies to the cops. Lara was sued for contract killing, and the prison management was sued under the charge of lax management.
Anyone would be terrified when in the face of Eugeneâs fury, and it was even more so for the police as they were accused of lax management. Hence, they quickly launched an investigation and issued a warrant to recapture Rebecca, who had been released after serving her sentence.
Eugene and Olivia returned to work and handled all the documents that were waiting for their signature. North, on the other hand, prepared for school.
When school started, Olivia took North to school before meeting with Director Norris to explain why she stood him up that day. It was already noon by the time she returned to her studio.
Sophia approached her the moment she came. in. âOlivia, someone wants to see you. Sheâs been waiting the whole morning.â
âWho is it?â The news came as a surprise for Olivia. âShe says sheâs Emerald Yliaster,â whispered Sophia.
Huh? That name sounds familiar. Bluebell is Seanâs mother, so this must be... Nicoleâs mother? Olivia raised her head sharply at the sudden realization. Why is she here? However, she had no time to ponder on it as she headed to the room Emerald was waiting at.
As soon as she entered the waiting room, Emerald immediately stood up and greeted her with a smile, âHello, Miss. Maxwell!â
Olivia nodded, âHello, Please take a seat.â
âIâm Nicoleâs mother. You might not know me, but weâve met once before.â
