When everyone saw Eugene''s expression soften, they all smiled along with him, and the atmosphere
was lightened once more.Nicole took a mouthful of the food beforeplimenting it.
"Did you prepare all of this, Mrs.Nn? It tastes so good"
"Jewel was the one who made this!" Ellen said.
Only then did Nicole notice Jewel.

"Oh.This is...Ellen was excited to introduce Jewel.
"This is my goddaughter, Jewel."
Jewel beamed at Ellen.
Alex was surprised to hear this, and he signed a few words to Jewel.
‘What does that mean? How did you end up as Mrs.Nn''s goddaughter? ‘We just happened to get
along well, so Mrs.Nn took me as her granddaughter: Jewel signed.
Alex was d to hear that.
Since Jewel''s biological mother wasn''t around, at least Jewel had someone who cared about her.
Jewel could really use some love in her life.
"Congrattions!" he uttered.
Jewel beamed at him.
Nicole noticed how odd Alex and Jewel''s interactions seemed, so she gave Hayden a puzzled stare.
Hayden gave her a subtle shake of his head to indicate that he didn''t know what was going on.
However, Nicole didn''t think about this for long, and she stood up with her wine ss before she turned
to Olivia.
"This is to you, Olivia.Thank you for helping my aunt treat her illness.You''re truly a genius doctor"
"No worries.It''s all part of my jobI Olivia replied.
"Sean told me that you donated the fees to the orphanage.So, that''s how you do charity! I''m really
impressedI Nicole said.Olivia curled her lips into a smile.
"Some people like it while others don''t.It doesn''t matter to me—I''m just doing whatever I think is right."
Nicole felt awkward for a moment.
"Yeah.I seem to know you a little better now after hearing about this.I hope that we can be friends:
Olivia smiled.Does she know how high my standards are when selecting friends? Does she want to be
my friend? novelebook She''s just someone who puts on an act in front of me and says something
else behind my back.Olivia raised her ss to finish the alcohol in it.She didn''t agree with Nicole''s
words, but she finished her drinks.
It was clear that Olivia didn''t want Nicole as a friend, but that she also didn''t want to create an awkward
atmosphere at the table.
Most of them didn''t realize any tension between the two women, but Eugene knitted his brows together
slightly.
"What is it? Is she causing trouble?" Eugene asked.
"No."
Olivia shook her head as she whispered.
"But you don''t like her, do you?" he asked.
"How did you conclude that?"
"You didn''t agree to be her friend’ he exined.
"I drank with her, didn''t I?" Olivia asked.
"But you didn''t agree to be her friend," he stated.
"This is different from making friends; he pointed out.Olivia let out a giggle before giving him a sweet
smile.
"I''ll tell you about itter."
Both of them were extremely close—their heads were practically stuck together.
Alex teased them for this.
"That''s about enough for today.How could you guys do this when there are so many single people
here?"
Nicole gave them a gentle smile as she spoke up.
"Yeah.You guys should tell us about your secretI she added.Olivia looked into Nicole''s eyes, which
seemed threatening despite her gentle gaze.
Olivia quickly gave an excuse.
"We''re a couple, so we can''t share all our secrets.I''m afraid you guys would have an overload of
information if we did tell you; she uttered.All the rest of the people began tough.Although both
Eugene and Olivia were trying their best to maintain the atmosphere at the table, it still felt rather odd!
After their dinner, Nicole announced that she was returning to the hotel.
"You can stay wherever you want to.There are rooms here too; Eugene offered.
"It''s fine? Nicole said.
"Penny''s the only one in the hotel, so I should go spend time with her.She''s rather unstable, so I''m
worried that something might happen."
