Chapter 113


    “Quickly give it a try and let me know if it’s tasty.”


    “Quickly give it a try and let me know if it’s tasty.”


    Olivia nodded as her eyes nced at the dishes that were arranged neatly on the dining table, which


    looked too good to be eaten.


    She hesitantly picked up a piece of the braised fish, which had been ced right in front of her. As she


    tasted it, the vor was perfect as that piece of fish melted into her taste buds when it met her tongue.


    It tasted better than it looked.


    “Why didn’t you tell me that you’re very good at cooking?” She was impressed that he was able to


    prepare such a delicious meal, making him a genius.


    Eugene smiled at her sudden praise of him. “I’m happy that you like it.” He then said to North, “North,


    do you want some crawfish?”


    North nodded. He no longer felt burdened to order Eugene around since the man was his Daddy!


    Eugene wore a pair of gloves and began to skillfully remove the shell. After a few seconds, he ced a


    fully unshelled piece of crawfish meat on North’s te. “Here you are.”


    Then, he immediately picked up another and quickly removed the shell before cing it on Olivia’s


    te. “You should try it too.”


    “Thanks, but I’ll help myself.”


    “It’s fine. You two are in charge of eating today.”


    Olivia gave a stiff smile as her heart was caught in her throat. Where is Eugene going with this?


    He noticed that she was a little ufortable and asked, “Wine?”


    She looked up and before she was able to reject him, he had already risen to his full height and headed


    toward the wine rack. He retrieved a bottle and smiled at it while he said, “I know you can hold your


    liquor. You don’t need to drive tonight, so you’ll be fine even if you drink a little.”


    Eugene opened the bottle and poured her a ss and one for himself.


    Soon after, he filled North’s ss with fruit juice.


    Upon raising his ss, Eugene said, “From now on, we’ll be neighbors. I’m looking forward to it!”


    “Same here,” Olivia replied out of courtesy. She raised her ss in response and took a sip.


    North drained his ss of fruit juice before picking a piece of chicken wing with his chopsticks. He


    proudly thought to himself that his Daddy was doing a good job.

    “Why did you decide to move here?” Olivia finally asked the question that gnawed at her the moment


    she arrived.


    Eugene looked at her as his mind immediately answered, Of course, it’s because you’re here.


    However, after ncing at North sideway, his expression was calm, albeit what he answered was


    different. “I alwayse here every year to stay for a short period of time. It’s a lot quieter here


    compared to the vi; there is less crowd here.”


    Olivia nodded understandingly and proceeded to tease him. “Are they obstructing your meditating


    sessions?”


    Eugeneughed. “I’m not there yet. I just don’t like to be monitored by others!”


    Olivia was surprised. “Monitored? Are you being monitored?”


    Eugene became hesitant as he wasn’t sure on how to exin his situation without it being extremely


    too shocking to her ears. So, he only brushed it off in agreement and scooped a bowl of soup for her.


    Olivia suddenly recalled something that Old Man Nn had told her, feeling the need to avoid sensitive


    topics and decided to steer clear of it. “I’ve always thought that a young master from a wealthy family


    like you would be leading an easy life and have everything prepared for him. I didn’t expect you to


    know how to cook!”


    “I was left to be on my own at a young age and had to do everything for myself, so I learned the basic


    skill of cooking,” Eugene exined.


    She raised an eyebrow in confusion and was skeptical. How could a rich Young Master like him be left


    alone as a child?


    However, she was afraid of overstepping her boundaries, so she didn’t ask further.


    “Sometimes, relying on yourself is better than being spoon-fed all the time. When I was younger, my


    mother never asked me for help with anything. It was only when I was a grownup that I knew how that


    had ruined me.”


    Eugene smiled. “How does it matter? North is doing so well under your care.”


    Olivia pursed her lips. “He definitely doesn’t think like you since he’s alwaysining about my


    food.”


    “Mommy, you can just get a boyfriend who can cook.”


    Olivia blushed at the sound of her son’s remark. This cheeky little boy is up to his antics again!


    She cast a menacing re at the little boy.


    Eugene giggled. “North is right! Nowadays, boyfriends are the ones who cook. All your problems are


    solved if you get a boyfriend.”
