Chapter 126 I Want That Candy
Olivia nodded.
Brian also looked at her. “Don’t be sad over an unworthy person.”
“Yeah, I won’t be,” she answered.
After a brief chat, Marcus took the hint and left upon bidding Eugene and Brian farewell.
Eugene and Brian were left alone now. The two brothers fell silent and did not say a word to each
other.
Finally, Eugene spoke first, “Do you still faint often lately?”
Brian was like a hedgehog on defense. “You don’t need to put up an act!”
“You know I’m only concerned about you.”
Brian snapped, “I wouldn’t want to trouble you, President Nolan.”
They were at daggers drawn. But Olivia happened to notice how different Eugene’s attitude was toward
Brian like there was an unspeakable pain hidden behind his eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe immediately cut in, “How did you guys show up right on time?”
Brian huffed. “I didn’t think I’d bump into you when I came here to observe!”
Eugene did not make a sound. He could not reveal that it was his son who had notified him.
Ignoring Eugene, Brian turned his attention toward her. “Olivia, where did you buy the candy you gave
me last time? I want to get some more.”
“Oh, did you finish it? I’ll get more for you then. It’s from a rather remote place in a small alley. I’ll send
it to you after I buy it!”
He nodded. “Okay. No wonder I couldn’t find it in any of the supermarkets I went to.”
“Yeah, it’s not a well-known brand. I’ve just grown used to the taste of this candy since I ate it growing
up, so I keep going back to the same store!”
Seeing the doting look in Brian’s eyes tormented Eugene. Brian, if she weren’t the woman I’ve been
looking for, if she weren’t the mother of my son, I would let you have her! But now…
North snuck his small hand onto Eugene’s face and looked up at him as if to comfort him.
Eugene felt his heart soften and he smiled. “Let’s get going, Olivia!”
She answered with a low murmur then looked at Brian and said, “Thank you for today!”
His eyes grew gentle. “No problem.”
“We’ll get going now. I’ll call you once I have it!”
After they said their goodbyes to Brian, they made their way out of the hotel.
During the car ride, Eugene looked at Olivia and said, “I want to eat it too.”
She was boggled. “Huh?”
“The candy!”
She finally understood him. “Sure, no problem.”
The corners of his lips slowly curled up as he looked at her. “Don’t be mad. I’ll be mad on your behalf.”
She was looking out the window. “No, it’s fine. I’m not mad anymore. Anna won’t have it easy from now
on.”
“You’re too generous!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA smile appeared on her face. “A lot of people say I’m heartless. Yet, you think I’m generous?”
“Getting fooled once might just mean that you weren’t aware of how evil people can be. Getting fooled
twice; well, the other party might just be too clever. But if you get fooled three times by the same
person, then you’re just not the brightest person in the room. Sometimes, being kind to your enemy will
only bring you more harm. Just because you let her go doesn’t mean your father will change his mind
about you. He’s already biased.”
With her gaze still trained outside the window, she thought, Yeah, being biased sure is a scary thing.
He defends Anna without even knowing right from wrong. I’m just the fool who got the short end of the
stick!
…
After several attempts, Ben finally managed to ask Jessica out on a date.
He bought her flowers, invited her to a meal, and did everything he could to tend to her needs. She
practically had him at her beck and call.
While they were at a fancy restaurant, Ben grabbed her hand and said with a pitiful look on his face,
“Sweetheart, don’t be mad anymore. I know what I did wrong. I was seduced by that woman, but I
never thought about breaking up with you!”
