Hayden quickly helped Nicole with her bag. "Let me go with you, then. I'm worried since you both aregirls."

"I'm sure that's not the only reason, but I assure you that Promise Island is definitely a safe place tobe," Eugene said.

Hayden and Nicole both chuckled before leaving.

"Are you not leaving?" Eugene turned to look at Alex.

"I'm drunk. I can't walk," Alex said as he leaned against the couch lazily. As he spoke, he turned toEllen and smiled at her. "Can I stay at your house tonight, Mrs. Nolan?"

Ellen beamed. "Of course you can. Hold on; let me prepare a room for you."

"I'll help you, Mrs. Nolan." Alex stood up immediately.

She rejected his offer. "It's fine. There isn't much to do. I tidied the place up when my classmates cameover recently, so I just have to change the bedsheets for you."

"I can do it with you," he offered before he tagged along behind Ellen.

Eugene stared at Olivia before questioning her. "Did you bump into Nicole when you went to treatSean's mother?" he asked.

Olivia nodded. "Yeah. I didn't know they were biologically related."'

"What did she say?" he asked.

"She didn't say much," she answered while looking him in his eyes. "She was standing up for you."

"For me?" He was puzzled.

She continued to stare at him without blinking. "What? Don't you understand?"

"I don't. What do you mean when you say that she was standing up for me?" He nodded.

Olivia stretched on the couch in a lazy manner as her gaze turned dark. "She thought that I wasscamming you by charging 50 million for your grandfather's illness."

Eugene still didn't understand it. "What was her issue then?"

"Yeah. Why was she speaking up for you?" she asked in return.

He looked at her before trying to explain himself.

"I'm not related to her in any way," he claimed.

"I didn't say anything," she pointed out. Despite this, she continued to stare at him without looking awayat all. She glared at him for so long that he began to wonder whether he ever crossed any boundarieswith Nicole.

He thought about it for a long time, only to conclude that there hadn't been such an issue. Then, heedged closer to her before speaking in a flattering tone. "Don't stare at me like that. Tell me—what didyou say to her?"

Olivia looked at him with a wild expression. "I told her that it wasn't just the 50 million that I received.Even you belong to me!"

Eugene let out a chuckle. "That sounds just like my domineering girlfriend!"

Both North end Brien, who hed been listening, stuck their thumbs out. "Thet's impressive."

...

Thet night, everyone returned to their own rooms. Eugene end Olivie ley on the bed. This wes hisfevorite time of the dey—when he got to cuddle up end sleep with his pleesent-smelling women. Hewished he could spend the rest of his life doing just thet.

At first, he just pleced his erm eround her weist, but he slowly grew hungrier for her. He felt like therewes still some distence between their bodies, so he pulled her in closer.

"Whet is it?" Eugene geve her en innocent look.

"Don't you feel hot when you're sleeping so close to me?" she esked.

That night, everyone returned to their own rooms. Eugene and Olivia lay on the bed. This was hisfavorite time of the day—when he got to cuddle up and sleep with his pleasant-smelling woman. Hewished he could spend the rest of his life doing just that.

At first, he just placed his arm around her waist, but he slowly grew hungrier for her. He felt like therewas still some distance between their bodies, so he pulled her in closer.

She stared at him exasperatedly before scaring him off with her glare. "Do you want me to use someneedles on you again?"

"What is it?" Eugene gave her an innocent look.

"Don't you feel hot when you're sleeping so close to me?" she asked.

"No. I'm cold," he replied.

She reached her hand over to wipe off the sweat on the tip of his nose. "Do you... have a kidney issue,then?"

His expression darkened upon hearing her words. "Do you want to give me a chance to show youwhether my kidneys are functioning?"

"If you're sweating while claiming that you're cold, this may be classified as night sweats. Night sweatsonly occur when you have kidney issues," she stated in a matter-of-fact tone.
