Chapter 451


    Eugene stopped himself from bursting intoughter. "Oh. I didn''t get enough rest!"


    Ellen heard this when she walked in with dishes in her hand; she chuckled and responded, "I knew it.


    I''d be surprised if you had enough rest."


    At this moment, Olivia was rendered speechless. It''s his own problem! It has nothing to do with me.


    Why is his mother looking at me like that?


    Seeing the embarrassed look on Olivia''s face, Ellen proceeded to exin calmly and moderately,


    "Eugene''s not good when ites to sleeping in a new environment. Whenever we stayed here in the


    past, he''d always end up not getting enough rest. Olivia, please don’t overthink it."


    Olivia giggled; she did not overthink at all.


    At this point, North winked and asked, "What''s fun here on the ind?"


    Eugene responded, "There are all kinds of recreational facilities here like on the maind—whether it’s


    water sports, powerboats, or motorboats. You can punt or even swim!"


    North eximed happily, "Let''s go punting!"


    "Sure."


    After they ate something, Brian stayed back to be with Ellen while Eugene took the two to the resort.


    Olivia did not feel good about this arrangement as it was a rare opportunity for Eugene toe here to


    spend time with his mother, but now it seemed like he was taking the two of them on vacation.


    "Eugene, you can send us backter, so you can spend more time with your mother. I can bring North


    out on my own."


    Eugene frowned slightly. "It''s fine. It''s not like she''s alone. Can you please stop trying to push me


    away? You are my wife and child; who else would I rather be spending time with?"


    As he spoke, he put his hand around her shoulder. "Stop thinking about it. We are on vacation!"


    Olivia did not know how to respond.


    After a car ride and more than half an hour walking, they finally reached the resort.


    She could tell that this ind was veryrge and the avable facilities were quiteplete; it was no


    different from the high streets on the maind—perhaps even better.


    Where they were right now was a ce where you could get anything—food, entertainment, rxation,


    and shopping.


    As long as one named it, one could definitely get it here.


    Meanwhile, knowing their destination, they headed straight to the theme park.


    Since North wanted to go punting, they went to the man-madeke in the theme park and hired a boat.


    To attract more customers, the business owners had ced many huge and colored balls on theke—


    each signifying a gift.


    Now that there was an element ofpetition, it would naturally attract more customers. Seeing the


    lake now, there were indeed several people punting.


    After the three got in the boat, Eugene and Olivia were responsible for punting while North would use


    the to catch the balls.


    Even though punting seemed easy, in practice, it was a lot more difficult as Eugene and Olivia could


    hardly synchronize with each other, so the boat ended up moving in a circle in its original spot.


    Then, North became slightly annoyed. "Are we just going to keep circling this spot?"

    Eugene looked at Olivia before turning to thend. Much to his surprise, it seemed like they had


    managed to move a good distance away from thend this way.


    "Should we find someone to teach us?"


    Olivia sniggered. "Do we really need someone to teach us how to punt? Are we that bad?"


    North responded, "Follow my lead. Whenever I say ''Go'', you''ll punt, and when I stop, you’ll stop too!"


    Eugene and Olivia looked at each other skeptically. "Are you sure this will work?"


    North was unsure about his n either. "Let''s try it then. I''ve yed a game like this before. The boat


    will start moving in a circle when one person punts harder than the other."


    Then, North appeared professional as he began tomand, "Listen to me. Go… Go…”


    Then, Eugene and Olivia began to punt in synchrony, and the boat started to move forward.


    Eventually, all three of them got very excited, and North had found the secret to it, which was exactly


    like the game he yed before. As such, he treated it as a game as they continued punting.


    When they were about to make a turn, he would say, "Mom, you''ll stop punting for a minute while Uncle


    Eugene continues!"
