Chapter 309 Looking Like a Family
His flawless and fair skin made his face look like a glutinous rice ball. Grinning, he greeted Eugene, “Uncle Eugene!”
At the sight of them, Eugene started having difficulty keeping away the smile on his face. “North looks very handsome tonight and North’s mother is simply stunning!”
Olivia smiled with her lips pursed and shot him a flirtatious glare to remind him to behave himself with so many people around them.
It was unbeknownst to her that what she was seeing now was already the toned down version of Eugene because he would not have hesitated to give her a hug if it wasn’t because of Brian’s reminder. For now, he was trying very hard to curb his desire to get physically intimate with her because he didn’t feel like exposing them to the public prematurely.
If he only stayed with them without behaving too intimately, they would at most be suspicious of their relationship without any clear answer.
Olivia showed off a box she was carrying in her arms. “This is the gift I prepared for your grandfather.”
“Let me take a peek at what’s inside,” Eugene requested with a smile.
Olivia tightened her grip around the box and snorted arrogantly, “This is for your grandfather, not you!”
Eugene went speechless, wondering why she even showed it off to him when he wasn’t allowed to see what was inside.
North too fished out something that looked like a fountain pen and waved it at Eugene. “Uncle Eugene, I’ve prepared something for Old Man Nolan too.”
Eugene, who was surprised to learn that, asked, “That’s nice! What have you got?”
North shook his head. “You’ll know it later.”
Eugene was left wordless thinking North and his mother must be doing this on purpose just to piss him off.
Tousling North’s hair, he complained, “Why are the two of you even showing off the presents to me when I’m not allowed to see what they are?”
Flashing him a toothy grin, North held his hand and tried to pull him toward the villa. “Let’s go in now then so that you’ll be able to know our secrets!”
Eugene responded with a laugh. “Let’s go; it’s freezing outside.”
Timidly, he held Olivia’s arms as they walked; from a distance, he looked like he was wrapping his arm around her waist.
At least it looked that way to George, who didn’t go to Muse Peninsula at all. Halfway through the journey, he had asked the taxi to make a U-turn and head straight to Nolan Residence.
He felt as though his heart was shattering into a million pieces when he saw the three of them standing together like a family.
That woman had indeed told him the truth—Olivia really went to visit Eugene.
