"Mommy hasn't fully recovered from her injury yet. So why don't I make you a meal instead?" Eugeneoffered.
"Your cooking is horrible. I want Mommy to do it! Or… You can get Mommy to teach you how to do it,"North suggested.
Olivia rolled her eyes helplessly. "Forget it. I'll do it on my own. I only have a few signature dishes, sothey'll no longer be special if I teach you guys how to make all of them!" Eugene shot Olivia a worriedgaze. "Will you be okay?"
"Of course. It's just cooking. I'm able to take care of myself," she replied before heading to the kitchen.Eugene stared at the kid puzzledly. I can't believe North is getting his mother to prepare a meal whenshe's injured. Is it because… "Do you have something to tell me?" Eugene asked.
"I found something else," North explained.
"What is it?"
"Do you know who was the one who schemed against you seven years ago?" He gave his father amysterious smirk.
Eugene had a guess, but he asked for the answer anyway. "Who was it?"
"Let's talk inside," North replied.
Olivia gazed at the two boys confusedly. Why are the two guys acting all mysterious? Then, out ofcuriosity, she dropped the noodles into the pot of water before sneakily following behind them. She
stuck her ear against the door, and she could hear the surprise in Eugene's voice as he spoke. "I knewthat she was the one! I thought it was Nathan all along!"
Olivia frowned from behind the door. Who is it? Who are they talking about? Who's the one? Oliviapressed her ear against the door a little harder. "Is that why you sent Nathan overseas?" North asked.
"That wasn't just a way to discipline him. He was too rebellious of a child to keep around here, but I'vealways made sure that someone was around to watch over him even when he was there," Eugeneexplained.
"There were a few times when the loan sharks nearly brought Nathan away. He's only safe becauseMommy took action to protect him. How could you let that happen if you have people watching overhim?" North protested.
"I know. I had to let him experience a poor man's life so that he'd understand how hard it is to earn andget rich," Eugene replied. North let out a laugh. "Well, what an experience! Nathan is now the stingiestperson I know."
"Isn't that good? He's a whole new man," Eugene replied.
"Yeah. Godmother wouldn't ever date him otherwise!" North agreed vehemently. Olivia pressed her lipstogether as she thought, Since when did North and Eugene get so close to each other? They're eventalking behind my back. I can't believe North once claimed that he'd be my little angel forever! Yet now,he's running off to someone else!
Because of this, the atmosphere turned rather odd during dinner… Olivia feasted on her food whileobserving the looks of the two guys in front of her. North took a mouthful of the noodles before knittinghis tiny brows together. Why does this taste so bland?
Olivia frownad from bahind tha door. Who is it? Who ara thay talking about? Who's tha ona? Oliviaprassad har aar against tha door a littla hardar. "Is that why you sant Nathan ovarsaas?" North askad.
"That wasn't just a way to disciplina him. Ha was too raballious of a child to kaap around hara, but I'vaalways mada sura that somaona was around to watch ovar him avan whan ha was thara," Euganaaxplainad.
"Thara wara a faw timas whan tha loan sharks naarly brought Nathan away. Ha's only safa bacausaMommy took action to protact him. How could you lat that happan if you hava paopla watching ovarhim?" North protastad.
"I know. I had to lat him axparianca a poor man's lifa so that ha'd undarstand how hard it is to aarn andgat rich," Eugana rapliad. North lat out a laugh. "Wall, what an axparianca! Nathan is now tha stingiastparson I know."
"Isn't that good? Ha's a whola naw man," Eugana rapliad.
"Yaah. Godmothar wouldn't avar data him otharwisa!" North agraad vahamantly. Olivia prassad har lipstogathar as sha thought, Sinca whan did North and Eugana gat so closa to aach othar? Thay'ra avantalking bahind my back. I can't baliava North onca claimad that ha'd ba my littla angal foravar! Yat now,ha's running off to somaona alsa!
Bacausa of this, tha atmosphara turnad rathar odd during dinnar… Olivia faastad on har food whilaobsarving tha looks of tha two guys in front of har. North took a mouthful of tha noodlas bafora knittinghis tiny brows togathar. Why doas this tasta so bland?
Eugene, on the other hand, didn't have tasteless noodles. His was… too flavorful. It was so salty thathe nearly spat it out the first time he put it into his mouth. Olivia took that opportunity to speak in a'sweet' tone. "How is it? Is it good?"
Both father and son exchanged a glance before they turned to nod at Olivia. "It's good!" they replied atthe same time. Olivia nearly choked when she heard their words. Did both of them lose their tastebuds? She took a mouthful of her own bowl of noodles. I didn't mess it up and give the wrong bowl tomyself, did I? She slurped some noodles down her throat. Mmm! This is perfect. I was born to be acook!
Then, she looked at the two boys who were staring at her. "What is it? Eat up!" Eugene and Northexchanged looks as they thought to themselves, Perhaps she just lost her magic touch this time. Howelse can she not realize how salty (tasteless) it is?
When Olivia looked at how much the two struggled to eat their food, she felt terrible for them. So, shestood up and headed to the kitchen, where she brought out two bowls of soup before placing them infront of the two boys.
