Chapter 96 The Unhappy North
Eugene frowned unhappily. “Don’t follow me around. I have business to tend to.” Then, he told Nathan, “You coming or not, Nathan?”
“Of course I am,” Nathan replied. He told Old Man Nolan that he would come another time and left the house behind them.
Silence was their companion in the car until Olivia whispered to her son, who appeared to be unhappy, “What happened to you?”
Eugene listened intently. If he was right, North didn’t talk to him that much earlier.
North was playing with his phone. “Nothing,” he said.
“Are you upset?” Olivia was curious.
“No.” North took a deep breath.
Then, Eugene interjected in an attempt to make conversation, “What’s the story you told Great-grandpa today, North?”
“Nothing,” North answered indifferently.
Now even Nathan could see he was upset. What happened? He’s fine in the afternoon, well, aside from him getting quiet after Zoe came.
Olivia tried to cheer him up. “We moved to a new place. It’s just a hop, skip, and jump away from Nathan’s house. Do you like it?”
That grabbed his attention, since he was a kid after all. “Why are we moving?”
Olivia replied calmly, “So you can play the latest games Nathan develops.”
“Right. It’s just because you want him to take care of me at all times.” He pouted.
“Shh. Keep this between us. We don’t want him to hear that.”
