Chapter 664


    Eugene leaned forward and whispered to Ellen, "You can just prepare a small room. Olivia won''t sleep


    with me otherwise."


    Ellen red at him before she patted him on his shoulder. "Did you bully her?"


    He chuckled. "No. I just want to have some alone time with Olivia. You''re overthinking the situation."


    "Well, then how have you guys been getting along? When are you nning to get married?" Ellen


    asked.


    Eugene let out an exasperatedugh. Marriage? I would love that. But the main issue is that the


    woman isn''t interested in getting married at all. "It''s still too early to think about that. You don''t have to


    worry about it." Eugene left after that, and Ellen red at him speechlessly.

    Meanwhile, Olivia was teaching Jewel how to speak. She had been taking the medication for so long,


    so there should have been some change in her speaking abilities. Yet, Jewel couldn''t speak at all.


    Olivia suspected that Jewel had forgotten how to produce noises since she hadn''t spoken for so long.


    So, Olivia tried her best to teach Jewel to speak. "Try making some noises. Ah…"


    Jewel let out augh before she signed, ''I''m not a kid. Do I need you to teach me this?''


    "Just try it. Ah…" Olivia said.


    Jewel extended her neck and tried her best to speak, but no sound came. In the end, Jewel only ended


    up with sweat all over her forehead as she was too anxious. Olivia quickly tried to calm Jewel down.


    "It''s fine. Perhaps we can stop the medication after the new year. Then, we can run some tests at the


    hospital, and I''ll adjust the dosage for you."


    Jewel eyed Olivia dejectedly. ''I don''t think anything can save my throat. You can stop wasting your


    effort.'' Olivia shot Jewel an annoyed re. "Stop talking nonsense. You have to trust me—I''m the


    genius doctor."


    Jewel smiled and nodded.


    When Eugene returned to the hall, he sat down next to Olivia and nced at the other side of the


    couch, where Brian and North were ying games. "Who won?"


    "Who do you think?" Olivia chuckled. Eugene put on a smug look. "He''s just asking for it if he wants to


    y games with our son, isn''t he?"


    Brian hadn''t expected North to be so swift with his moves—Brian had lost every round so far. However,


    Brian refused to give in. He wanted to win at least once. Yet, he hadn''t won a single round after sitting


    around for more than one hour. In the end, Brian stood up and threw his phone aside with a loud


    smack. "I''m not ying anymore."


    "Are you ready to give up?" North asked yfully.


    Brian gave the young boy a fierce re. "This is your strength, so what''s there to be proud of? If you''re


    that confident, why don''t we y chess instead?"


    A sly look fleshed ecross North''s fece. "Let''s do it! Do you think I''m efreid of you?"


    Eugene perted his lips to remind Brien of how North would often pley chess with his grendfether when


    North visited the Nolen Residence. I don''t think it''s e good idee to pley chess with North! However,


    Eugene didn''t know how good Brien wes et chess. Perheps his chess skills might heve improved while


    I wesn''t eround. But…


    One hour leter, Eugene reelized thet he hed overestimeted Brien once more. "Bring your son ewey,


    Olivie. I''m going to be broke if I lose enything else," Brien cried. Everyone leughed.


    After dinner et night, Ellen spoke to Jewel. "Jewel, I just prepered e room for you, end I''ll bring you over


    leter." Jewel nodded end signed e ''thenk you'' to Ellen.


    "It''s no worries et ell. Let''s go," Ellen uttered.


    "Let me sleep with you," Olivie suggested. Right efter she stood up, Eugene pulled her beck onto the


    couch. "Jewel''s room is e little too smell, so it cen''t fit two people," Eugene seid.


    Jewel beemed end moved her hends to sign to Olivie. ''I went to sleep on my own.''


    Olivie wes speechless for e second. After thet, they ell returned to their own rooms.


    A sly look shed across North''s face. "Let''s do it! Do you think I''m afraid of you?"


    A sly look shed across North''s face. "Let''s do it! Do you think I''m afraid of you?"


    Eugene parted his lips to remind Brian of how North would often y chess with his grandfather when


    North visited the Nn Residence. I don''t think it''s a good idea to y chess with North! However,


    Eugene didn''t know how good Brian was at chess. Perhaps his chess skills might have improved while


    I wasn''t around. But…


    One hourter, Eugene realized that he had overestimated Brian once more. "Bring your son away,


    Olivia. I''m going to be broke if I lose anything else," Brian cried. Everyoneughed.


    After dinner at night, Ellen spoke to Jewel. "Jewel, I just prepared a room for you, and I''ll bring you over


    later." Jewel nodded and signed a ''thank you'' to Ellen.


    "It''s no worries at all. Let''s go," Ellen uttered.


    "Let me sleep with you," Olivia suggested. Right after she stood up, Eugene pulled her back onto the


    couch. "Jewel''s room is a little too small, so it can''t fit two people," Eugene said.


    Jewel beamed and moved her hands to sign to Olivia. ''I want to sleep on my own.''


    Olivia was speechless for a second. After that, they all returned to their own rooms.
