That was what Eugene had always wanted to know, but their relationship had never been more thanjust friends. To him, she was like a boat aimlessly traveling on the sea. Desperate, he couldn’t wait toget close to her, but since she wasn’t making her move, he decided to pick up his pace. Soon, Olivia letout a sigh as she set her eyes on somewhere far away, seemingly looking back on her past. After awhile, she said, “Alas! I had a tough time when I first got there. I was unfamiliar with the place andworse, I even ran into a bunch of thugs who surrounded and tried to mess with me. At that time, I waspregnant for two months, so can you imagine how scared I was? I was defenseless and vulnerableagainst these people, but as I thought fate had caught up with me, a senior of mine came to my rescue.Besides that, when I was diagnosed with signs of possible preterm labor, he was the one who helpedme deliver my child safely. So, North and I are actually in his debt. Subsequently, he offered us a placeto stay at his clinic. After I became my master’s disciple, our life was finally stable from that pointonward. In fact, my senior was the one who had taken care of me and taught me everything I neededto know, especially when my master was away in the following year. Sometimes, I didn’t even get tosee him for months.”

Upon hearing Olivia’s story, Eugene finally understood why Olivia and her son always mentioned hersenior. No wonder they always talk about him. I didn’t know he’s so important to them. “So, your hardwork has finally paid off now, I guess.”

“Well, at least I no longer have to put up with anyone else who gets on my nerves,” Olivia said with asmile while Eugene only silently pondered. Well, she is technically right because she doesn’t care if I’mnot happy with her anyway.

“Here. A toast to your hard work!”

“That’s worth a toast. You did well, Olivia,” Olivia laughed and said.

Yeah, you did well, Olivia, Eugene thought to himself.

As they continued to drink, the red wine bottle was soon getting low. At the same time, Eugene beganto feel more excited the more he drank. “How about we play a little game?”

“What game?” Olivia tilted her head and gazed at the man.

“Do you have some dice at home?”

Olivia was happy when she heard that suggestion because a game would at least spare her theawkward moment. “Are we going to play a game with a dice? I got it. Just give me a moment!” Not longafter, she returned with four dices and a dice cup. “Here you go. So, how are we going to play thisgame?” At that moment, Eugene had already prepared three glasses of wine and placed one in thecenter of the table while the other two were put on each side in front of them. Then, he looked at herand explained, “We’re going to see which of us gets a bigger number after rolling the dice. If you don’tthink you stand a winning chance, you could finish the wine and roll the dice again, but if you think youdo, we’ll reveal the dice right away. The loser will have to finish all three glasses of wine. Otherwise, heor she could choose to reveal a secret instead as an alternative to drinking.”

Meanwhile, Olivia looked at Eugene, thinking that the game seemed like a good way to kill time, so sheagreed to go along. In fact, she wasn’t even scared of drinking and playing games. In the first round,

her dice revealed seven pips, but when she shifted her eyes to Eugene, she noticed his complacentlook, believing that her number was smaller than his. Therefore, she chose to finish her own winebefore continuing.

In the next round, Olivia’s dice showed four pips, feeling irritated because the number only got smallerand smaller with each time she tried. Soon, Eugene looked at her calmly and asked with a smile. “Arewe going to reveal them now?” Olivia asked herself, What else can I do? “Reveal the dice!” However, itturned out that Eugene’s dice were at five, which was just slightly more than Olivia’s number.Therefore, Olivia’s eyes fell upon Eugene, carefully contemplating his motive. I may be a heavyweight,but I’d get drunk drinking at this rate. While Eugene thought he’d lose this time, Olivia got a result witha smaller number than he did. As the game continued, both of them became obsessed with the gamein which Olivia lost every time. In fact, the red wine on the table was all finished by her.

In the subsequent round, Eugene’s dice showed eleven pips. As he thought he’d finally lose, he wasonce again surprised by his own lucky winning streak. Although it seemed that fate would be on hisside again this time, he decisively finished the glass of red wine that was placed before him.
