Chapter 18

Originally, North was supposed to start attending school today. However, he was injured. So, Oliviatook him to school in the morning to register, then brought him home.

As soon as they arrived home, the doorbell rang. Thus, Olivia got up to open the door, only to seeHugo standing at the doorway with several bags of stuff in his hands.

Her expression immediately darkened. “What are you doing here?”

On the other hand, Hugo had a huge smile plastered on his face. “Olivia, I’m sorry. I came over to visityou. Yesterday, Anna took that attitude with you because she was trying to get back at you for all thegrievances I suffered in the past. As an adult, please don’t take offense to her actions. To be honest, w-we really missed you throughout all these years.”

“That’s enough. If you want to show off how lovey-dovey you are, do it someplace else. Don’t comeand make me sick. After rolling in the sheets with Anna behind my back, what grievances did yousuffer?”

Upon hearing those words, he was stunned for a moment and blurted out, “How did you know we weretogether?”

Her gaze was as sharp as knives as she stared unblinkingly at the man before her. “Seven years ago, Iwitnessed it myself. It was Anna who deliberately left the door open for me to see. That night, she gaveme a glass of wine before I met up with you for our date. But in fact, she slipped something into thewine. She planned everything, including what happened to me afterward! Hugo Gray, don’t you replace itterrifying? That woman sleeping right next to you is such a vicious and callous woman!”

He was utterly shocked, and his mind went blank—so much so that he couldn’t even think. Then, heanxiously said, “Olivia, truth be told, I don’t love Anna at all. Don’t you replace it pitiful that we were keptapart for so many years because of her calculative plans? I can divorce Anna; I don’t even mind thatyou have a child. Please, give me another chance. Let’s get back together again, okay?”

Originally, Olivia wanted to sow discord between Hugo and Anna. She wanted him to go back and raisehell with Anna while she sat on the sidelines and watched.

But… this is turning out to be a job that requires a specific skillset and expertise. She was feeling sodisgusted by him that she had layers and layers of goosebumps all over her body. Not only did I notmanage to instigate anything between them, but I also nearly disgusted myself to death.

Therefore, she shoved at him with all her might. “Get out of here!”

However, he took the opportunity to grab her hand. “Olivia, I’ve always loved you. I know I made amistake. Please give me another chance for us to get back together again.”

As he spoke, he forced his body inside, trying to hug her.

In the end, he was still a man. No matter how hard Olivia struggled against him, she couldn’t break freefrom his grasp. Thus, she shouted angrily, “F*ck off!”

At that moment, a tall and large figure flashed by. Grabbing Hugo by the back collar of his shirt, hepulled him back and threw a punch at him. After that, Hugo fell to the ground.

When Olivia realized who it was, she was extremely surprised. “Why are you here?”

Eugene glanced over at Olivia. The anger was not completely gone from his face, but his voice wasmuch gentler. “Are you okay?”

She took a deep breath. “I’m okay.”

Then, he shot a glare at Hugo, and his gaze was frigid. “Are you going to leave? Or do you want tocontinue taking a beating?”

She chimed in, “If you don’t get lost right now, I’m going to call Anna. Do you want me to do that?”

Thus, Hugo took a deep breath. “Fine. I know that you’re replaceing it difficult to accept right now, buteverything I said is sincere. I’ll come back another day.” After saying that, he left.

Subsequently, the corridor fell silent. They glanced at each other and found the atmosphere tooawkward to say anything.

In the end, Olivia broke the silence. “Mr. Nolan, thank you for just now.”

“It’s nothing,” Eugene said. Then, he glanced at North, who was standing inside the house. “Are youalright?”

At first, North had been recording everything inside the house. Then, he saw his dad’s cool side assoon as he came out.

Hence, he was very satisfied at the sight of his dad acting like a hero and saving a damsel in distress.Pretending to limp as he walked over to Eugene, he put on a pitiful and cute act. “Uncle Eugene, myknee hurts.”

Eugene had already noticed the gauze wrapping around the little guy’s knee. Scowling fiercely, hisexpression became very solemn. Then, he walked over, bent down, and carried him in his arms. “Letme see.” He wanted to check the wound.

However, North furrowed his little brows and blocked Eugene’s hand from touching his wound. He saidin a distressed voice, “Don’t touch it, Uncle Eugene. It hurts…”

Olivia was appalled by the scene in front of her. This little b*stard is pretending! He is deliberatelyacting pitiful! His wound isn’t that serious! Besides, he didn’t make a single complaint just now. Heclearly has taken a liking to Eugene and is intentionally making Eugene feel bad for him.

North’s eyes sparkled. “Uncle Eugene, did you come here looking for Mommy? Then, why don’t youcome inside and have a seat?” While saying that, he deliberately limped and led Eugene into the houseby the hand.

Olivia’s almond-shaped eyes widened into circles. She gave that sly little b*stard a warning glare. Justwho do you think you are to invite him into the house?! To her surprise, that little b*stard didn’t evenspare her a glance. On the other hand, Eugene looked at her inquiringly.

Therefore, Olivia smiled brightly and bit the bullet, saying, “Mr. Nolan, why don’t you come inside andhave a cup of tea?”
