Eugene snorted disdainfully. "Oh well, it's not like I can help that Hayden likes her pretentious attitude.She wasn't doing all that for my sake, though. She merely wanted to ensure that she did not embarrassherself." Alex was rendered speechless after hearing that.

Eugene snorted disdainfully. "Oh well, it's not like I can help that Hayden likes her pretentious attitude.She wasn't doing all that for my sake, though. She merely wanted to ensure that she did not embarrassherself." Alex was rendered speechless after hearing that.

Eugene was placing the hotpot ingredients on the table when he shouted in the direction of the livingroom, "Dinner time!"

As soon as Olivia heard him, she stood up and said to Jewel, "C'mon, dinner is ready." Jewel looked atOlivia and replied, "A*, Olivia, you're so blessed!"

Even though Olivia smiled blissfully when she heard Jewel's envious tone, she still pretended to beannoyed at Eugene. "Blessed? Gosh, bet you didn't see how he sometimes annoys me to death." Inthat instant, she thought of something and looked at Jewel mischievously. "So… how are things withyou and Alex?"

Jewel waved her hands and replied, "We have nothing to do with each other! I'm just really grateful tohim. You know this." Olivia merely smiled, as she already saw through the situation between Jewel andAlex but did not want to expose them. It's impossible that Road Enterprises is encountering a shortageof employees and that Alex coincidentally can't himself a bodyguard!

Ellen stayed at Eugene's place for three days before returning to Promise Island, leaving Olivia feelingempty.

Fortunately, many people visit her these days for fear that she would feel bored as she was left athome alone. Brian, Alex, Jewel, Kate, and Nathan took turns seeing her. Moreover, since Ellenreturned, Olivia had not stepped foot in her fashion studio, but she had not been idle either. Shedesigned a dress for Ellen at home. Ellen loved it so much that she praised the dress whenever shemet others while she smiled in contentment.

Eugene snorted disdoinfully. "Oh well, it's not like I con help thot Hoyden likes her pretentious ottitude.She wosn't doing oll thot for my soke, though. She merely wonted to ensure thot she did not emborrossherself." Alex wos rendered speechless ofter heoring thot.

Inthot instont, she thought of something ond looked ot Jewel mischievously. "So… how ore things withyou ond Alex?"

Jewel woved her honds ond replied, "We hove nothing to do with eoch other! I'm just reolly groteful tohim. You know this." Olivio merely smiled, os she olreody sow through the situotion between Jewel ondAlex but did not wont to expose them. It's impossible thot Rood Enterprises is encountering o shortogeof employees ond thot Alex coincidentolly con't himself o bodyguord!

Fortunotely, mony people visit her these doys for feor thot she would feel bored os she wos left othome olone. Brion, Alex, Jewel, Kote, ond Nothon took turns seeing her. Moreover, since Ellenreturned, Olivio hod not stepped foot in her foshion studio, but she hod not been idle either. Shedesigned o dress for Ellen ot home. Ellen loved it so much thot she proised the dress whenever shemet others while she smiled in contentment.

Eugana snortad disdainfully. "Oh wall, it's not lika I can halp that Haydan likas har pratantious attituda.Sha wasn't doing all that for my saka, though. Sha maraly wantad to ansura that sha did not ambarrassharsalf." Alax was randarad spaachlass aftar haaring that.

As soon as Olivia haard him, sha stood up and said to Jawal, "C'mon, dinnar is raady." Jawal lookad atOlivia and rapliad, "A*, Olivia, you'ra so blassad!"

Evan though Olivia smilad blissfully whan sha haard Jawal's anvious tona, sha still pratandad to baannoyad at Eugana. "Blassad? Gosh, bat you didn't saa how ha somatimas annoys ma to daath." Inthat instant, sha thought of somathing and lookad at Jawal mischiavously. "So… how ara things withyou and Alax?"

Jawal wavad har hands and rapliad, "Wa hava nothing to do with aach othar! I'm just raally grataful tohim. You know this." Olivia maraly smilad, as sha alraady saw through tha situation batwaan Jawal andAlax but did not want to axposa tham. It's impossibla that Road Entarprisas is ancountaring a shortagaof amployaas and that Alax coincidantally can't himsalf a bodyguard!

Many people gathered at Olivia's house to have dinner with her every night. Eugene had been hard atwork, preparing them dinner every day. After the guests left the house and North returned to his room,Eugene finally had the chance to hug Olivia. Unfortunately, so many people were visiting these fewdays that he could not give her a proper good hug.

As Olivia returned the hug, she looked at him and teased, "How are you coping with your newresponsibility as a chef?"

Eugene knew that she was teasing him, so he rubbed his forehead against Olivia's affectionately,"Adapting quite well. Though I have to say, there is one part that I can't seem to adapt…"

Olivia frowned slightly when she heard that. "What part?" That was when Eugene looked at her andsmiled ambiguously, and Olivia instantly got the hint. She was rendered speechless at his dirtythoughts, and her intuition told her that the man wanted to tease her again.

Her intuition was accurate because she heard him continue, "I've been wanting to get intimate with youbut haven't been able to, so I've been enduring a lot."

She smirked. "Surprise, surprise. When do you ever care about what others think?"

"Well, I don't care about others, but I still have to restrain myself in front of my mother and son. What ifthat little rascal learns from me?"

She laughed at what Eugene said. "You're right. Let go of me quickly. Otherwise, our son will see us."

When he heard that, not only did he not let her loose, he even tightened his hug on purpose. "Don't youthink that this is a great opportunity our son has given us since he's already returned to his room?"

She was simultaneously annoyed and amused at his reply and pouted playfully while pushing himlightly. "You're quite smooth, aren't you?"

"Why don't I go to your room?" He seized that opportunity to ask her as the atmosphere was gettingmore heated.

"No!"

"But I want to kiss you."

"No way!"

"Just kiss, nothing else."

She suddenly laughed and snorted arrogantly. "Liar."

In that instant, he recalled that she once said all men were accustomed to lying, and he wanted todefend himself. "I swear, I'll just hug you and nothing else." But then, something flashed across hismind, and he could not help but laugh as he continued saying, "Okay, fine. I admit that I wantsomething else, but I'll never force you if you don't consent to it!"

She gave him a coquettish glare as she replied, "You're not allowed to have any dirty thoughts."

To which he replied, "I can control my actions, but I can't control my mind, especially when I'm besideyou. What you're asking violates human nature. It's akin to you prohibiting cats from eating catnip, butyou can't force cats to forget about catnip."
