Chapter 749
Eugene snorted disdainfully. "Oh well, it''s not like I can help that Hayden likes her pretentious attitude.
She wasn''t doing all that for my sake, though. She merely wanted to ensure that she did not embarrass
herself." Alex was rendered speechless after hearing that.
Eugene snorted disdainfully. "Oh well, it''s not like I can help that Hayden likes her pretentious attitude.
She wasn''t doing all that for my sake, though. She merely wanted to ensure that she did not embarrass
herself." Alex was rendered speechless after hearing that.
Eugene was cing the hotpot ingredients on the table when he shouted in the direction of the living
room, "Dinner time!"
As soon as Olivia heard him, she stood up and said to Jewel, "C''mon, dinner is ready." Jewel looked at
Olivia and replied, "A*, Olivia, you''re so blessed!"
Even though Olivia smiled blissfully when she heard Jewel''s envious tone, she still pretended to be
annoyed at Eugene. "Blessed? Gosh, bet you didn''t see how he sometimes annoys me to death." In
that instant, she thought of something and looked at Jewel mischievously. "So… how are things with
you and Alex?"
Jewel waved her hands and replied, "We have nothing to do with each other! I''m just really grateful to
him. You know this." Olivia merely smiled, as she already saw through the situation between Jewel and
Alex but did not want to expose them. It''s impossible that Road Enterprises is encountering a shortage
of employees and that Alex coincidentally can''t himself a bodyguard!
Ellen stayed at Eugene''s ce for three days before returning to Promise Ind, leaving Olivia feeling
empty.
Fortunately, many people visit her these days for fear that she would feel bored as she was left at
home alone. Brian, Alex, Jewel, Kate, and Nathan took turns seeing her. Moreover, since Ellen
returned, Olivia had not stepped foot in her fashion studio, but she had not been idle either. She
designed a dress for Ellen at home. Ellen loved it so much that she praised the dress whenever she
met others while she smiled in contentment.
Eugene snorted disdoinfully. "Oh well, it''s not like I con help thot Hoyden likes her pretentious ottitude.
She wosn''t doing oll thot for my soke, though. She merely wonted to ensure thot she did not emborross
herself." Alex wos rendered speechless ofter heoring thot.
Eugene wos plocing the hotpot ingredients on the toble when he shouted in the direction of the living
room, "Dinner time!"
As soon os Olivio heord him, she stood up ond soid to Jewel, "C''mon, dinner is reody." Jewel looked ot
Olivio ond replied, "A*, Olivio, you''re so blessed!"
Even though Olivio smiled blissfully when she heord Jewel''s envious tone, she still pretended to be

Ellen stoyed ot Eugene''s ploce for three doys before returning to Promise Islond, leoving Olivio feeling
empty.
Fortunotely, mony people visit her these doys for feor thot she would feel bored os she wos left ot

Many people gathered at Olivia''s house to have dinner with her every night. Eugene had been hard at
work, preparing them dinner every day. After the guests left the house and North returned to his room,
Eugene finally had the chance to hug Olivia. Unfortunately, so many people were visiting these few
days that he could not give her a proper good hug.
As Olivia returned the hug, she looked at him and teased, "How are you coping with your new
responsibility as a chef?"
Eugene knew that she was teasing him, so he rubbed his forehead against Olivia''s affectionately,
"Adapting quite well. Though I have to say, there is one part that I can''t seem to adapt…"
Olivia frowned slightly when she heard that. "What part?" That was when Eugene looked at her and
smiled ambiguously, and Olivia instantly got the hint. She was rendered speechless at his dirty
thoughts, and her intuition told her that the man wanted to tease her again.
Her intuition was urate because she heard him continue, "I''ve been wanting to get intimate with you
but haven''t been able to, so I''ve been enduring a lot."
She smirked. "Surprise, surprise. When do you ever care about what others think?"
"Well, I don''t care about others, but I still have to restrain myself in front of my mother and son. What if
that little rascal learns from me?"
Sheughed at what Eugene said. "You''re right. Let go of me quickly. Otherwise, our son will see us."
When he heard that, not only did he not let her loose, he even tightened his hug on purpose. "Don''t you
think that this is a great opportunity our son has given us since he''s already returned to his room?"
This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.
She was simultaneously annoyed and amused at his reply and pouted yfully while pushing him
lightly. "You''re quite smooth, aren''t you?"
"Why don''t I go to your room?" He seized that opportunity to ask her as the atmosphere was getting
more heated.
"No!"
"But I want to kiss you."
"No way!"
"Just kiss, nothing else."
She suddenlyughed and snorted arrogantly. "Liar."
In that instant, he recalled that she once said all men were ustomed to lying, and he wanted to
defend himself. "I swear, I''ll just hug you and nothing else." But then, something shed across his
mind, and he could not help butugh as he continued saying, "Okay, fine. I admit that I want
something else, but I''ll never force you if you don''t consent to it!"
She gave him a coquettish re as she replied, "You''re not allowed to have any dirty thoughts."
To which he replied, "I can control my actions, but I can''t control my mind, especially when I''m beside
you. What you''re asking vites human nature. It''s akin to you prohibiting cats from eating catnip, but
you can''t force cats to forget about catnip."
