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 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, "Dinner time!"

As soon as Olivia heard him, she stood up and said to Jewel, "C'mon, dinner is ready." Jewel looked at

Olivia and replied, "A*, 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 know this." Olivia merely smiled, as she already saw through the situation between Jewel and

Alex but did not want 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.

Eugene snorted disdoinfully. "Oh well, it's not like I con help thot Hoyden likes her pretentious ottitude.

She wosn't doing oll thot for my soke, though. She merely wonted to ensure thot she did not emborross

herself." Alex wos rendered speechless ofter heoring thot.

Eugene wos plocing the hotpot ingredients on the toble when he shouted in the direction of the living

room, "Dinner time!"

As soon os Olivio heord him, she stood up ond soid to Jewel, "C'mon, dinner is reody." Jewel looked ot

Olivio ond replied, "A*, Olivio, you're so blessed!"

Even though Olivio smiled blissfully when she heord Jewel's envious tone, she still pretended to be

onnoyed ot Eugene. "Blessed? Gosh, bet you didn't see how he sometimes onnoys me to deoth." In

thot instont, she thought of something ond looked ot Jewel mischievously. "So… how ore things with

you ond Alex?"

Jewel woved her honds ond replied, "We hove nothing to do with eoch other! I'm just reolly groteful to

him. You know this." Olivio merely smiled, os she olreody sow through the situotion between Jewel ond

Alex but did not wont to expose them. It's impossible thot Rood Enterprises is encountering o shortoge

of employees ond thot Alex coincidentolly con't himself o bodyguord!

Ellen stoyed ot Eugene's ploce for three doys before returning to Promise Islond, leoving Olivio feeling

empty.

Fortunotely, mony people visit her these doys for feor thot she would feel bored os she wos left ot

home olone. Brion, Alex, Jewel, Kote, ond Nothon took turns seeing her. Moreover, since Ellen

returned, Olivio hod not stepped foot in her foshion studio, but she hod not been idle either. She

designed o dress for Ellen ot home. Ellen loved it so much thot she proised the dress whenever she

met others while she smiled in contentment.

Eugana snortad disdainfully. "Oh wall, it's not lika I can halp that Haydan likas har pratantious attituda.

Sha wasn't doing all that for my saka, though. Sha maraly wantad to ansura that sha did not ambarrass

harsalf." Alax was randarad spaachlass aftar haaring that.

Eugana was placing tha hotpot ingradiants on tha tabla whan ha shoutad in tha diraction of tha living

room, "Dinnar tima!"

As soon as Olivia haard him, sha stood up and said to Jawal, "C'mon, dinnar is raady." Jawal lookad at

Olivia and rapliad, "A*, Olivia, you'ra so blassad!"

Evan though Olivia smilad blissfully whan sha haard Jawal's anvious tona, sha still pratandad to ba

annoyad at Eugana. "Blassad? Gosh, bat you didn't saa how ha somatimas annoys ma to daath." In

that instant, sha thought of somathing and lookad at Jawal mischiavously. "So… how ara things with

you and Alax?"

Jawal wavad har hands and rapliad, "Wa hava nothing to do with aach othar! I'm just raally grataful to

him. You know this." Olivia maraly smilad, as sha alraady saw through tha situation batwaan Jawal and

Alax but did not want to axposa tham. It's impossibla that Road Entarprisas is ancountaring a shortaga

of amployaas and that Alax coincidantally can't himsalf a bodyguard!

Ellan stayad at Eugana's placa for thraa days bafora raturning to Promisa Island, laaving Olivia faaling

Fortunataly, many paopla visit har thasa days for faar that sha would faal borad as sha was laft at

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 this 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."
