Chapter 106

North was obviously disgruntled even as he reluctantly blurted out three words—“To pursue Mommy!”

At this moment, Eugene was in high spirits. He was actually gripped by the urge to hug North, but he was afraid

that he’d scare him. “Didn’t you tell me to let nature take its course?”

North was rendered speechless. So, he really intends to just let nature take its course? “You can invite my mommy

for a meal or a movie when you’re free. This is all part and parcel of wooing a woman from what I see on

television.”

Eugene guffawed. “What about you, then?”

North had long since thought of a place for himself. “You two don’t need to worry about me. I can go to Nathan’s

house!”

Eugene flashed him a reassuring gaze. “Don’t worry, I won’t allow someone else to snatch away your mommy.”

Staring at him, North reminded him once again as though he was the father here, saying, “Mommy detests men

who are fickle in their affections, so you must watch yourself. If Mommy catches you with another woman, she

definitely won’t forgive you!”

“I know,” Eugene answered. He knew that from the moment she talked to him about Ben.

“It’s all your fault for offending Mommy. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many problems when you two are in the

same company. Now, you even have to find an excuse just to meet her.” North stared at him from the back,

wishing that he could stare a hole in the back of his head.

Conscience-stricken at having ruined his child’s meticulous plan for him, he explained, “I just misunderstood your

mommy. But I have a way to remedy it.”

North’s eyes lit up. “What is it?”

Eugene smiled mysteriously. “Don’t be so impatient. I’ll give the two of you a surprise.” Since he’d said as much,

North didn’t pursue the matter further.

At night, North sat in the back of the car while humming softly, seemingly in a good mood. The corners of Olivia’s

mouth curved. “What are you so happy about?”

North feigned calmness. “Nothing.”

Olivia curled her lips. He doesn’t want to tell me, huh? She’d actually noticed it a long time ago. Ever since he came

back with Eugene, his mood has seemed rather good, and he has even been giggling from time to time. Now, he’s

shaking his legs and humming. What else could it be if not happiness? “Do you like Uncle Eugene that much?”

North ceased shaking his legs and leaned forward to the front seat. “Mommy, do you like Uncle Eugene?”

“Are you thinking of playing matchmaker again?”

North naturally didn’t dare admit to it. “No, I just want to know whether you like him.”

“No,” Olivia answered.

North turned a tad anxious. “I think Uncle Eugene is quite good.”

“There are plenty of good men. Am I supposed to like them all?” Olivia remained unfazed.

North wanted to say, There are indeed quite a number of good men, but there’s only one biological daddy!

However, he changed his words when he spoke, saying, “Indeed, there are plenty of good men, but it’s only Uncle

Eugene who’s good to you!”

Olivia looked at him through the rear-view mirror. “Who said that? There are plenty of men who are good to me.

Aren’t you good to me? Isn’t your Uncle Nathan good to me? Isn’t my senior good to me?”

A touch discouraged, North slipped back to his seat. There’s a long way to go for my daddy to win over my mommy.

Upon seeing his dejected expression, Olivia couldn’t help expounding, “Since your Uncle Eugene is very nice,

women pursue him one after another. So, let’s not join them. Don’t you like it with just the two of us?”

“Uncle Eugene doesn’t like those women.”

“How would you know that?”

“I asked him.”

Trepidation swamped Olivia. “You asked him? How did you ask him? And why did you ask him this?” North was

actually planning to explain himself, but upon seeing that his mommy seemed peeved, he pursed his lips and dared

not say a single word.

Olivia then panicked. Why is this boy not saying anything? Will Eugene think that it was me who told my child to ask

him that? “Spit it out!”

North cautiously replied, “I saw a woman holding Uncle Eugene’s arm yesterday, so I asked him whether she’s his

girlfriend today, but he said no.”
