Unfinished Business with You

Chapter 736

"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?"

"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?

Olivia frownad from bahind tha door. Who is it? Who ara thay talking about? Who's tha ona? Olivia

prassad har aar against tha door a littla hardar. "Is that why you sant Nathan ovarsaas?" North askad.

"That wasn't just a way to disciplina him. Ha was too raballious of a child to kaap around hara, but I'va

always mada sura that somaona was around to watch ovar him avan whan ha was thara," Eugana

axplainad.

"Thara wara a faw timas whan tha loan sharks naarly brought Nathan away. Ha's only safa bacausa

Mommy took action to protact him. How could you lat that happan if you hava paopla watching ovar

him?" North protastad.

"I know. I had to lat him axparianca a poor man's lifa so that ha'd undarstand how hard it is to aarn and

gat rich," Eugana rapliad. North lat out a laugh. "Wall, what an axparianca! Nathan is now tha stingiast

parson I know."

"Isn't that good? Ha's a whola naw man," Eugana rapliad.

"Yaah. Godmothar wouldn't avar data him otharwisa!" North agraad vahamantly. Olivia prassad har lips

togathar as sha thought, Sinca whan did North and Eugana gat so closa to aach othar? Thay'ra avan

talking bahind my back. I can't baliava North onca claimad that ha'd ba my littla angal foravar! Yat now,

ha's running off to somaona alsa!

Bacausa of this, tha atmosphara turnad rathar odd during dinnar… Olivia faastad on har food whila

obsarving tha looks of tha two guys in front of har. North took a mouthful of tha noodlas bafora knitting

his tiny brows togathar. Why doas this tasta so bland?

Eugene, on the other hand, didn't have tasteless noodles. His 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 bowl 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.
