Chapter 509


    Eugene had no idea how to exin this to North. He had been smitten with Olivia since the beginning,


    purely out of the most basic biological instinct. In other words, love at first sight. Later on, he gradually


    realized that he wasn''t interested in other women anymore. It was like that part down there would only


    muster itself for one person. No matter who the other woman was, Eugene just couldn''t get it up.


    As time went on, Eugene had to admit that he might have fallen in love with a woman that he had slept


    with once and now wanted to sleep with for the rest of his life.


    But how could he tell that to a child? After some thought, he spoke up. "You don''t fall in love with a


    person solely on their looks, their taste, their voice, the feel of their skin, and more. You''ll only fall in


    love when everything falls in ce. Your mother is someone whose everything is a perfect fit for me.


    Don''t you see? As I spent more time with your mother, I came to fall in love with her."


    "Their looks, taste, voice, and feel of their skin?" North asked. Is it thatplicated? Then, was what I


    felt love? He just felt that that little girl was quite pretty, and her soft hand felt nice when she was pulling


    him along. Her voice was also lovely!


    So, does that mean I''m in love with her?


    Eugene looked curiously at the boy''s expression of disbelief. "Who do you have a crush on?" he asked


    in surprise.


    "Dora!" North answered, still a little lost. Upon answering, he froze, and he looked at Eugene with


    troubled eyes.


    Eugene couldn''t stop himself from chuckling. "That little girl?"Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    North frowned. His father was at fault for tricking him, but he soon got over it. A sad smile appeared on


    his face. "I don''t know whether it''s a crush or not. I just saw that you managed to find the one you love


    after being apart for so long, so I looked up her details today. I spent half the day digging around before


    finding out that her name is Isadora Townsend. But she lives really far away from here. The ne ride


    is at least five or six hours long."


    Eugene was speechless. This little brat had a precocious crush, and the kid still wondered whether he


    actually had a crush or not? If he didn''t have a crush on the girl, why else would he have dug so deeply


    into her background? He even thought about how the ne ride to her hometown would take several


    hours.


    What should I do? Should I report this to Olivia?


    But at the thought that this matter would distract his girlfriend, Eugene realized that he wouldn''t exactly


    be a good father if he did that. And so, Eugene nced at North, who looked infatuated. He didn''t


    forbid North from crushing on the girl. Instead, he yed along and baited North good-naturedly. "So,


    how do you know whether she likes you?"


    North grinned. "She probably does, because she said she''s mine!"


    Eugene had the urge tough when he saw that smug look on his brat''s face. "Then, did she say she''s


    your friend, or your girlfriend?"


    North shook his head. "She didn''t mention that."


    Now Eugene did burst intoughter. "Son, you''ve got to be more responsible as a boy. Liking a girl isn''t


    just something that you say—it has to withstand the test of time. Look at me—I fell in love with your


    mother seven years ago. Seven yearster, I still love her. That shows how my love for her has


    withstood the test of time. You''re young and impulsive. Maybe you''ll fall out of love in a few more days.


    That''s not true love. If you still like her a few yearster, or when you''re grown, then that''s true love


    there."


    North''s brows knitted tightly together. "Can''t I look for her now? I''m on vacation right now. I just


    checked the ne ticket prices; it''s just over three thousand a pop."


    Eugene pped his forehead. Clever little brat. He''s well-prepared for everything.


    "If you look for her now and tell her that you like her, she won''t believe you. Words are cheap if you just


    tell the girl that you like her without letting time take its course. Never mind Dora, but even Dora''s father


    won''t believe you. What you need to do now is to make yourself stand out. You''ll have to make yourself


    stand out so much that Dora''s father will notice you. Only then would he feel safe to leave Dora in your


    hands. And you have to be powerful, so powerful that no one can take advantage of her in your


    presence. That''s the only way you''ll have the right to say that you love her. Remember how you


    couldn''t even defeat a fat little guy? How could Dora''s father feel safe to leave her in your care? How


    are you going to protect the girl you love?"
