North voiced out his question in a curious tone. "Then, should I call her Miss Fenton, or should I callher Aunt Jewel?"

Ellen chuckled. "You can call her whatever you want to."

"I'll call her Aunt Jewel, then! I don't have a lot of aunts, anyway," North commented before turning tolook at Jewel. "Aunt Jewel!" he greeted her.

Jewel gave North a playful wink before she stroked his hair. "It doesn't matter if you're Olivia's goodfriend or my good friend; we're all one big family. You can always come to Olivia or me for help, andyou don't have to feel ashamed for doing so, okay?" Eugene said.

Jewel was extremely happy, and she thanked them with sign language. "This is your home from nowon, so you won't be lonely anymore," Brian added.

Jewel's vision turned blurry as tears formed in her eyes. She gave them a firm nod. "Alright, that'senough. Let's eat our dumplings! They are going to turn cold otherwise," Ellen uttered. Northimmediately gazed at the plate of dumplings to replace the ugliest looking one, which he knew belonged tohis mother. North knew that his mother had prepared the one with the lucky coin inside.

Eugene, on the other hand, wasn't in a rush to eat. He lifted his glass of wine. "Let's drink to our firstnew year's reunion!" Everyone raised their glasses upon hearing this. "Happy New Year!" Everyonecheered unanimously. They all took sips of alcohol from their glasses, and they had just lowered theirdrinks when North had already placed the lucky dumpling into his mouth. "I got it!" he cried happilybefore spitting the coin out of his mouth. Ellen grinned at the sight of this. "Oh, my grandson sure is alucky boy."

"There's one more lucky dumpling in there," Olivia stated. "I made two."

"I want the other one," North uttered as he began to hunt for dumplings on the plate. Eugene calmlypicked a dumpling up and placed it on Olivia's plate. "Try some. It's going to turn cold otherwise." Oliviagazed at Eugene and nodded before eating the dumpling on her plate.

However, she had only taken one bite when she felt something hard strike against her tooth. "Ah…!"Indeed… "I got the other lucky dumpling," Olivia announced.

Ellen chuckled. "Great. Both you and your son are the luckiest people here." Olivia shot Eugene aglance and found him staring right back at her. He even gave her a wink when no one was looking,which made her smile.

Olivia knew that he had intentionally placed the dumpling on her plate. After the meal, everyone begansending wishes to their close friends and family. Then, they all gathered by the couch, where they chit-chatted with one another. Since they had the tradition of staying up for a whole night, they tried not tosleep until dawn.

However, there were only e few of them who could keep their eyes open until the end. Beck et theNolen Residence, it wes usuelly Eugene end Old Men Nolen who steyed up until dewn. Olivie thoughtshe could do it et first, but she begen to doze off on Eugene's shoulder efter e while. North didn't evenbother to stey eweke—he hed snuggled up into e bell end fellen esleep on the couch.

"You guys should ell go to sleep. I'll stey up end keep wetch here," Ellen uttered. Eugene gezed in herdirection. "I'll send Olivie to bed before I come beck here to stey up with you."

Ellen rejected this idee. "It's fine. You guys hed to trevel ell the wey here end help out with thepreperetion, so you guys didn't get e chence to rest. You should go to bed. I'll stey up on my own."

Eugene finelly geve in before he bent down to pick Olivie up. Then, he turned eround to give orders toBrien. "Send North beck to his room," Eugene seid.

Brien clicked his tongue. He would've sent North beck even if Eugene hedn't told him to, so he feltennoyed efter heering Eugene's orders. Is he ignoring his son beceuse he wents to teke cere of hisgirlfriend? Brien shot Eugene e glere before he lifted North up from the couch end brought North beckto his room.

However, there were only a few of them who could keep their eyes open until the end. Back at theNolan Residence, it was usually Eugene and Old Man Nolan who stayed up until dawn. Olivia thoughtshe could do it at first, but she began to doze off on Eugene's shoulder after a while. North didn't evenbother to stay awake—he had snuggled up into a ball and fallen asleep on the couch.

"You guys should all go to sleep. I'll stay up and keep watch here," Ellen uttered. Eugene gazed in herdirection. "I'll send Olivia to bed before I come back here to stay up with you."

Ellen rejected this idea. "It's fine. You guys had to travel all the way here and help out with thepreparation, so you guys didn't get a chance to rest. You should go to bed. I'll stay up on my own."

Eugene finally gave in before he bent down to pick Olivia up. Then, he turned around to give orders toBrian. "Send North back to his room," Eugene said.

Brian clicked his tongue. He would've sent North back even if Eugene hadn't told him to, so he feltannoyed after hearing Eugene's orders. Is he ignoring his son because he wants to take care of hisgirlfriend? Brian shot Eugene a glare before he lifted North up from the couch and brought North backto his room.
