Chapter 37 Gratitude
Olivia let out a frown. “You don’t like her? She’s not bad looking.”
Eugene did not know how to respond and blurted, “Just because of that I have to like her? You are pretty too.”
Olivia nodded and gave him a thumbs up. “I like your taste! It’s unique.”
Her words amused Eugene as she had just complimented both of them at the same time.
“How did you become so good at drinking?”
“Through practice.”
Olivia continued, “In the past, I couldn’t even finish a bottle of beer. But I kept practicing until I became better.”
Eugene was surprised to hear that. “Why did you have to do that? Did you have to have a lot of social engagements?”
Olivia took a deep breath, gave it some thought, and responded, “When your life’s about to be turned around just because of a glass of liquor, you’d probably do the same.”
Startled, he turned to Olivia; he wanted to ask her what had happened but he did not feel like that was proper as they were not at that stage in their relationship yet.
“I’m sorry about what happened tonight. I didn’t think I’d run into them.”
Olivia responded, “No worries. I’m happy as long as I didn’t offend your friends.”
Eugene snorted. “I don’t think they have the right to be angry. Those morons.”
Olivia replied, “Please don’t take it personally. I’m the outcast in your circle, so I can understand why they would treat me like that. If someone else barges into my territory, I’d do the same too.”
Eugene let out a smile as he really enjoyed listening to her speak; it made him feel at home.
As the two continued to chat, they eventually arrived at the Nolan Residence.
Then, Olivia purposely went in to greet Old Man Nolan, who was delighted to see her and even asked her to bring her kid over from time to time.
So was North, who frantically waved at them as he bade them goodbye and promised to visit more often.
The initial arrangement was for Curtis to drive them back, but Old Man Nolan worried about the two of them so he asked Eugene to send them back.
When Eugene stopped the car on La Grande Maison, Olivia realized that North had already fallen asleep.
