“Olivia, what’s the matter?”
She replied coldly, “Nothing.” Eugene hurriedly explained, “I’m sorry, Olivia. Something came up suddenly. It wasn’t my intention to go MIA. I feel more assured now after seeing you.” Despite saying that, he was not the least assured and even felt a sense of trepidation out of nowhere.
Olivia nodded. “I understand. You have your own business to attend to. Did you just arrive? Head home to rest.” She was behaving like how she usually would-considerate, understanding, gentle, and sensible. However, he knew something was off with her behavior.
Feeling slightly distraught, he grabbed her hand and gave her a gentle look. “Olivia, are you mad at me?” She subconsciously struggled. “No, I’m not. You should head home to rest and ease your jet lag.”
In the meantime, North was looking between both adults, feeling something strange happening between them. If he were to say they were arguing, the two were technically not there yet; his mother still cared about his father! Yet, if he were to say they were amicable, why was his father behaving like his world was about to collapse?
Jewel tugged on North. “Eugene, Olivia, you guys talk. North and I will head upstairs.” Olivia added, “I’m tired too. I’ll come with you.” After saying so, she looked at her him. “Eugene, you should head home. I’m tired and want to rest.”
He grabbed her and pleaded urgently, “No, I won’t. Not before you tell me what’s wrong.” Feeling inexplicably annoyed, she chased him out. “I said I’m fine. Can you stop wasting time?”
That made him frown. “If everything’s fine, why aren’t you answering my calls?” She gave a half-hearted answer. “My phone died.” He pestered on. “So, your phone has been dead for two days?”
