It can’t be Eugene, I hope? Olivia rejected that possibility almost immediately after it surfaced in her
mind. How can it be Eugene? Why would he leave hisrge vi to move to a ce like this? There are
few upants with thest name of Nn in Summer City.

When the elevator door opened with a ‘ding’, Olivia stepped out of it and continued to eye the indicator
panel with suspicion. She had a hunch that it was Eugene yet she was a tad bit afraid that it was really
him. Sigh, what an indescribable sensation.
The door was opened—it was North standing by the entrance, asking, “What are you looking at,
Mommy?”
“I bumped into the workers from the movingpany earlier; they were moving things to the floor
above us and said that the owner’sst name is Nn!” she exined.
There was a spark in his gaze in that moment. She was not fully certain about the house owner’s
identity, but her son knew from the moment he heard it and thought, This was what he meant he said
that he’ll fix things. It seems like Daddy’s a pretty reliable man. The young child smirked—it was one
that seemed a tad bit mature for his age.
Olivia noticed the sneaky grin on North’s face and walked over to ask, “What are you smiling at?”
“Nothing much.” North tried his best to stop his smile from widening.
Olivia feigned anger as she stomped toward him, saying, “Hurry up and tell. Otherwise, I’m going to
tickle you.” He was frightened by her words that he immediately rushed into the house.
…
A loud smack reverberated in the Roberts Residence as a pnded on Ben’s cheek.
Evan was extremely furious as he pointed a finger at Ben, saying, “What did I tell you? I don’t care how
you want to fool around, but you have to make sure that you’re in Jessica’s good books. That was
smart of you to hit her for the sake of some uselessdy. You were even caught on video and I had to
deal with it on your behalf. My dignity has been trampled on, no thanks to you.”
That incident had caught Ben by surprise as well. Although Jessica had stopped him in his room that
morning, Anna was already wearing her clothes, so he could’ve merely lied that they were in a
business discussion. Why would it have mattered when Jessica hadn’t seen them being intimate
together? Even if she did, she would not have any proof.
He had to have a convincing exnation for the p that he gave her downstairs—she kicked up a
fuss and heid a hand on her impulsively after being embarrassed by her. However, that was not a big
deal—he could simply apologize to her and it did not matter much for them to cancel their wedding.
However, what he never expected was Jessica to have a video footage of him kissing and hugging
Anna, reying the entire scene that happened earlier that morning. He only lowered his head,
responding, “I don’t know where she obtained that video from.”
“Let’s see how you’re going to exin yourself to your aunt!” Evan cursed with anger.
With a palm being pressed on his cheek, Ben spoke through gritted teeth. “It’s all because of that
woman, who was being a busybody, this morning. Otherwise, Jessica wouldn’t have been certain of her
decision to break up with me. I can feel that she’s still into me.”
“What’s the point of saying this? I think you should focus on mending your rtionship with her.
Although both she and her mother wish to cancel the marriage, you’re lucky that her dad still wants to
proceed with it. I don’t care how you settle it, but I want you to reconcile with Jessica.”
“Okay, I got it,” Ben replied. His phone rang immediately after he finished speaking and he panicked
when he saw the caller ID. “I-It’s my aunt.”
Evan also tensed up upon hearing that as he quickly ordered, “Hurry up and pick it up! What are you
waiting for?”
After taking a deep breath, Ben answered, “Aunt Lara!”
Lara’s gentle voice sounded from the other end of the call as she said, “Ben, how are things going with
Jessica recently?”

Ben’s eyes darted toward Evan, as if he was asking the man for advice to respond to her question.
Evan shot him a look that read, Pacify the caller. “N-Not too bad.”
She sounded satisfied with Ben’s response, saying, “Alright. Make sure that you get along with her. The
Roberts will only be able to go against Eugene if we’re able to unite with the Smiths.”
