Chapter 18


    Originally, North was supposed to start attending school today. However, he was injured. So, Olivia


    took him to school in the morning to register, then brought him home.


    As soon as they arrived home, the doorbell rang. Thus, Olivia got up to open the door, only to see


    Hugo standing at the doorway with several bags of stuff in his hands.


    Her expression immediately darkened. “What are you doing here?”


    On the other hand, Hugo had a huge smile stered on his face. “Olivia, I’m sorry. I came over to visit


    you. Yesterday, Anna took that attitude with you because she was trying to get back at you for all the


    grievances I suffered in the past. As an adult, please don’t take offense to her actions. To be honest, w-


    we really missed you throughout all these years.”


    “That’s enough. If you want to show off how lovey-dovey you are, do it somece else. Don’te


    and make me sick. After rolling in the sheets with Anna behind my back, what grievances did you


    suffer?”


    Upon hearing those words, he was stunned for a moment and blurted out, “How did you know we were


    together?”


    Her gaze was as sharp as knives as she stared unblinkingly at the man before her. “Seven years ago, I


    witnessed it myself. It was Anna who deliberately left the door open for me to see. That night, she gave


    me a ss of wine before I met up with you for our date. But in fact, she slipped something into the


    wine. She nned everything, including what happened to me afterward! Hugo Gray, don’t you find it


    terrifying? That woman sleeping right next to you is such a vicious and callous woman!”


    He was utterly shocked, and his mind went nk—so much so that he couldn’t even think. Then, he


    anxiously said, “Olivia, truth be told, I don’t love Anna at all. Don’t you find it pitiful that we were kept


    apart for so many years because of her calctive ns? I can divorce Anna; I don’t even mind that


    you have a child. Please, give me another chance. Let’s get back together again, okay?”


    Originally, Olivia wanted to sow discord between Hugo and Anna. She wanted him to go back and raise


    hell with Anna while she sat on the sidelines and watched.


    But… this is turning out to be a job that requires a specific skillset and expertise. She was feeling so


    disgusted by him that she hadyers andyers of goosebumps all over her body. Not only did I not


    manage to instigate anything between them, but I also nearly disgusted myself to death.


    Therefore, she shoved at him with all her might. “Get out of here!”


    However, he took the opportunity to grab her hand. “Olivia, I’ve always loved you. I know I made a


    mistake. Please give me another chance for us to get back together again.”


    As he spoke, he forced his body inside, trying to hug her.


    In the end, he was still a man. No matter how hard Olivia struggled against him, she couldn’t break free


    from his grasp. Thus, she shouted angrily, “F*ck off!”


    At that moment, a tall andrge figure shed by. Grabbing Hugo by the back cor of his shirt, he


    pulled him back and threw a punch at him. After that, Hugo fell to the ground.

    When Olivia realized who it was, she was extremely surprised. “Why are you here?”


    Eugene nced over at Olivia. The anger was notpletely gone from his face, but his voice was


    much gentler. “Are you okay?”


    She took a deep breath. “I’m okay.”


    Then, he shot a re at Hugo, and his gaze was frigid. “Are you going to leave? Or do you want to


    continue taking a beating?”


    She chimed in, “If you don’t get lost right now, I’m going to call Anna. Do you want me to do that?”


    Thus, Hugo took a deep breath. “Fine. I know that you’re finding it difficult to ept right now, but


    everything I said is sincere. I’lle back another day.” After saying that, he left.


    Subsequently, the corridor fell silent. They nced at each other and found the atmosphere too


    awkward to say anything.


    In the end, Olivia broke the silence. “Mr. Nn, thank you for just now.”


    “It’s nothing,” Eugene said. Then, he nced at North, who was standing inside the house. “Are you


    alright?”


    At first, North had been recording everything inside the house. Then, he saw his dad’s cool side as


    soon as he came out.


    Hence, he was very satisfied at the sight of his dad acting like a hero and saving a damsel in distress.


    Pretending to limp as he walked over to Eugene, he put on a pitiful and cute act. “Uncle Eugene, my


    knee hurts.”


    Eugene had already noticed the gauze wrapping around the little guy’s knee. Scowling fiercely, his


    expression became very solemn. Then, he walked over, bent down, and carried him in his arms. “Let


    me see.” He wanted to check the wound.


    However, North furrowed his little brows and blocked Eugene’s hand from touching his wound. He said


    in a distressed voice, “Don’t touch it, Uncle Eugene. It hurts…”


    Olivia was appalled by the scene in front of her. This little b*stard is pretending! He is deliberately


    acting pitiful! His wound isn’t that serious! Besides, he didn’t make a singleint just now. He


    clearly has taken a liking to Eugene and is intentionally making Eugene feel bad for him.


    North’s eyes sparkled. “Uncle Eugene, did youe here looking for Mommy? Then, why don’t you


    come inside and have a seat?” While saying that, he deliberately limped and led Eugene into the house


    by the hand.


    Olivia’s almond-shaped eyes widened into circles. She gave that sly little b*stard a warning re. Just


    who do you think you are to invite him into the house?! To her surprise, that little b*stard didn’t even


    spare her a nce. On the other hand, Eugene looked at her inquiringly.


    Therefore, Olivia smiled brightly and bit the bullet, saying, “Mr. Nn, why don’t youe inside and


    have a cup of tea?”
