Chapter 438


    Olivia pouted. “Is that all? Are you sure you weren’t being selfish?”


    Under Olivia’s gaze, Eugene swallowed hard and he didn’t dare to argue against her. Before he could


    even start talking, he shot her a ttering smile.


    “Actually, I did have some ulterior motives. I talk to Mom very often; she knows about you and has seen


    your pictures before. She has been asking to meet you, so I decided to take this opportunity and bring


    you over.”


    As she red at Eugene, Olivia was about to leave. Just when she turned around, Eugene held her


    hand and said pitifully, “Olivia, please don’t be angry. You know Brian wouldn’te with me if you


    weren’ting too. If that was the case, I’m not sure when the misunderstanding between us would be


    solved, so I could only ask for your help.”


    Although Olivia was slightly irritated, she knew that it wasn’t because of the lie Eugene had told her, but


    it was because she was worried.


    Olivia was definitely not prepared and Eugene had tricked her to the ind to meet his mother. She


    was worried that his mother would be prejudiced toward her, but she felt like she couldn’t tell Eugene


    about this, so all she could do was re at him.


    Indistinctly, North said, “Mommy, nothing is embarrassing about eating what has already been


    prepared!”


    Olivia and Eugene were dazed. But then Eugene let out a chuckle and said, “It’s okay. Mom knew you


    couldn’t cook. She even told me to take good care of you.”


    Immediately, Olivia was embarrassed. “You… You’re really…”


    Couldn’t he save face for her?


    While Eugene wrapped his arm around Olivia’s shoulders, he held North with his other hand. “This is


    nothing. Mom has been through so many things in her life. She is very open-minded. Besides, she only


    hopes for me and Brian to be happy. You’re the one that can make us happy, so there’s no reason for


    her to hate you.”


    Upon hearing that, Olivia gave him a single nce. “I don’t care what you’re trying to say now. I’m still


    going to hold you responsible for your lies! You’re not allowed to visit my house for three days after we


    go back!”


    Eugene was rendered speechless.


    Breaking away from his hold, Olivia marched forward arrogantly. The two of them made their way to the


    highest point of Promise Ind and looked back at the lush greenery, the pavilion, the cloister, and the


    fences in the distance. Everything was windy—like a dragon making its way up the hill.


    The seaside was the most beautiful at this point. The sun was setting silently at the horizon; the colorful


    clouds gathered and illuminated rays of evening sunlight. The only things left hanging in the sky were


    the dreamlike red, orange, and yellow rays—it looked as if gold was sprinkled from the sky.


    The clouds were finely outlined in the sky, turning the sky into an ink painting.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    The evening breeze that was mixed with the fragrance of flowers and trees was very refreshing.


    Olivia exhaled deeply and eximed, “This ce is so beautiful!”


    Laughing softly, Eugene answered, “When we’re old, we cane and stay here for the rest of our


    lives.”


    Olivia was surprised that Eugene actually had the same idea as her.


    Looking toward Olivia, Eugene inquired, “Why are you looking at me like this?”


    With cold eyes, Olivia scowled. “I’m wondering how long I can bear with you if you keep on lying to me


    like this.”


    Instantly, Eugene’s hair stood on end. He reached out and grabbed her hand. “S-Stay strong, Olivia. I


    promise I won’t hide anything from you anymore.”


    Olivia almostughed out loud when she heard his words. She didn’t know how this man could say


    something like that in such a serious manner.


    Throwing him a coy nce, she started walking back. She said, “If you ever lie to me again, then you


    cane here to live by yourself for the rest of your life!”


    Her response left Eugene at a loss for words.


    When Eugene and Olivia finally came home, they found Ellen and Brian crying in one another’s arms. It


    seemed like the two of them had finally talked it out.


    Ellen asked Brian, “Do you still faint very often?”


    Shaking his head, Brian said, “Not anymore. Olivia has cured me. I haven’t fainted for a long time, and I


    don’t have a headache anymore.”
