    Chapter 671


    Eugene shot Olivia a side re. “It’s all your fault!” She gave him an exasperated look as she thought,


    Aren’t people going to overthink your words? People who don’t know the truth might think that we were


    busy with some nasty stuff.


    “You can just sleep somewhere else. How is it my fault?” she hissed.


    He lowered his gaze as he smiled grimly. She might still sound rather polite now, but her eyes look like


    she’s ready to stab me.


    “You woke up too early,” he insisted. She was speechless at this point-he was the one who woke her


    up just now, yet he was the one ming her for waking up too early. Can he be any more shameless?


    “I’ll sleep with Jewel tomorrow, then,” she uttered while ring at him. He felt himself panicking for a


    moment, but he didn’t reveal this on his face. “No.


    Someone else’s sleep is going to be sacrificed if you go there.”


    Olivia gazed in Jewel’s direction. “Jewel doesn’t mind!”


    Jewel smiled as she signed her words. ‘You can sleep on your own!’ She signed to Olivia. Although


    Olivia couldn’t understandplicated signnguage, she was still able to understand basic


    sentences. I can’t believe Jewel refuses to sleep with me! She’s such an ungrateful brat.


    Eugene chuckled before he addressed his mother. “I’m nearly done here, Mom. Why don’t you take


    over?” He led Olivia out of the kitchen. Olivia looked like a cranky cat at that point. “How shameless


    can you get, Eugene? You’re the one who couldn’t sleep- what has that got to do with me?”


    He quickly hugged andforted her. “I’m sorry. It just slipped out of my mouth earlier.”


    She scoffed. “You were doing it on purpose! I know you well enough to know that. Anyway, I’m sleeping


    with Jewel tonight. You can sleep on your own!”


    “It’s the night before the new year, so I’m not going to sleep much,” he said with a smile. After they


    were done with breakfast, it was nearly 10.00AM. Brian and Eugene kept themselves busy by


    decorating the ce, while Olivia and Jewel helped Ellen with preparing the meal for that night. North,


    on the other hand, simply ran around the house. The atmosphere was warm and lively at home.


    That night, they all prepared dumplings for their 11.00PM dinner. It was a family tradition for them to eat


    their dinner between 11.00PM to 1.00AM, as they held the belief that entering the new year with food


    on the table ensured their prosperity for the uing year. Furthermore, it was important that they ate


    dumplings during the dinner, as the shape of the dumplings was like gold bars that would ensure their


    wealth for the uing year.


    Eugene, Jewel, and North were preparing dumplings in the kitchen while Ellen and Brian did the


    cooking. When Eugene saw the youngdyzing around on the couch, he called out to her. “Come


    over and help with the dumplings,” he ordered.


    Olivia stuck her lower lip out as she gave him an annoyed look. She genuinely enjoyed making


    dumplings, but the shape of her dumplings was often odd, and she didn’t want to embarrass herself.


    “I think I’ll go help Mrs. Nn with the food!” she said.

    Eugeneughed. “They don’t need your help since Brian’s there. Come here and help me instead.”


    She rolled her eyes in her head. He just wants to see me embarrass myself, huh? “I don’t want to,” she


    said with a scoff.


    However, Eugene onlyughed after hearing her. “It’s fine. Your dumplings are still edible. You should


    come over to make a lucky dumpling. The person who gets that will be the luckiest one here!”


    When she heard his words, she found herself rather intrigued by the idea, so she shuffled over to the


    kitchen. “How should I do it?”


    “I prepared some coins, so the lucky dumpling will have this coin inside it. The person who gets this will


    get lucky for the new year,” he suggested. She was excited about this idea, so she hurried off to wash


    her hands before picking up the dumpling skin.


    Olivia felt rather envious when she saw how swift Jewel was with her hands. So, Olivia stared at Jewel


    with admiration and curiosity in her eyes. Olivia had stuck her neck out, and she held her eyes open


    without blinking. It was as if she were using her whole body to learn some skills from the other woman
