Chapter 28 Pleasant Family Reunion
“Speak for yourself. Olivia did not ask me to reimburse her,” Kate pointed out.
“If you’re not going to pay up, then be a bit more self-aware and get out of the car now.”
“Who do you think I came here for? If it wasn’t just to pick you up. When we came earlier, we thought we were going to be late so Olivia sped all the way here. My heart was literally up in my throat the whole time. She got here in less than 40 minutes when it’s supposed to take an hour. My soul felt like it almost left my body. You should be more considerate and also pay for my portion.”
Olivia looked at her through the rear-view mirror. “You should just tell him if you want him to pay for you. Don’t beat around the bush and talk about my driving instead of your own cowardice. You’re the first one to criticize my driving skills.”
He chimed in, “Exactly; and you still want me to pay on your behalf? Do you think you’re very pretty?”
Kate immediately lunged forward from the back and gripped his neck with both hands. “Say that one more time.”
Her grip was making it hard for him to talk. “I think you’re… the most… beautiful.”
After that, she let him go. “At least you’re not tactless.”
Massaging his neck, he said, “You’re so ruthless. I almost died here because of you.”
She snorted, “Whose fault is that?”
Olivia shook her head quietly.
It’s a love-hate relationship!
“Olivia, come with me to see my great-grandpa later! You can check on him too. He’s always in my thoughts. I can finally present myself in front of him now,” Nathan announced happily.
“Sure,” Olivia agreed.
They dropped Kate off first, then went to pick up the child and headed to the Nolan Residence.
Olivia was not expecting Eugene to be there too and explained bashfully, “Nathan was worried. He insisted that I should come along and have a look.”
Eugene gave a slight nod. “Yes, thank you.”
“Uncle Eugene!” North tilted his head as he greeted him. There was an unrestrained delight on his face.
Eugene walked over and caressed his small head then asked warmly, “Has your leg injury recovered?”
