Chapter 108

It can’t be Eugene, I hope? Olivia rejected that possibility almost immediately after it surfaced in her mind. How can

it be Eugene? Why would he leave his large villa to move to a place like this? There are few occupants with the last

name of Nolan in Summer City.

It can’t be Eugene, I hope? Olivia rejected that possibility almost immediately after it surfaced in her mind. How can

it be Eugene? Why would he leave his large villa to move to a place like this? There are few occupants with the last

name of Nolan in Summer City.

When the elevator door opened with a ‘ding’, Olivia stepped out of it and continued to eye the indicator panel with

suspicion. She had a hunch that it was Eugene yet she was a tad bit afraid that it was really him. Sigh, what an

indescribable sensation.

The door was opened—it was North standing by the entrance, asking, “What are you looking at, Mommy?”

“I bumped into the workers from the moving company earlier; they were moving things to the floor above us and

said that the owner’s last name is Nolan!” she explained.

There was a spark in his gaze in that moment. She was not fully certain about the house owner’s identity, but her

son knew from the moment he heard it and thought, This was what he meant he said that he’ll fix things. It seems

like Daddy’s a pretty reliable man. The young child smirked—it was one that seemed a tad bit mature for his age.

Olivia noticed the sneaky grin on North’s face and walked over to ask, “What are you smiling at?”

“Nothing much.” North tried his best to stop his smile from widening.

Olivia feigned anger as she stomped toward him, saying, “Hurry up and tell. Otherwise, I’m going to tickle you.” He

was frightened by her words that he immediately rushed into the house.

…

A loud smack reverberated in the Roberts Residence as a slap landed on Ben’s cheek.

Evan was extremely furious as he pointed a finger at Ben, saying, “What did I tell you? I don’t care how you want to

fool around, but you have to make sure that you’re in Jessica’s good books. That was smart of you to hit her for the

sake of some useless lady. You were even caught on video and I had to deal with it on your behalf. My dignity has

been trampled on, no thanks to you.”

That incident had caught Ben by surprise as well. Although Jessica had stopped him in his room that morning, Anna

was already wearing her clothes, so he could’ve merely lied that they were in a business discussion. Why would it

have mattered when Jessica hadn’t seen them being intimate together? Even if she did, she would not have any

proof.

He had to have a convincing explanation for the slap that he gave her downstairs—she kicked up a fuss and he laid

a hand on her impulsively after being embarrassed by her. However, that was not a big deal—he could simply

apologize to her and it did not matter much for them to cancel their wedding. However, what he never expected

was Jessica to have a video footage of him kissing and hugging Anna, replaying the entire scene that happened

earlier that morning. He only lowered his head, responding, “I don’t know where she obtained that video from.”

“Let’s see how you’re going to explain yourself to your aunt!” Evan cursed with anger.

With a palm being pressed on his cheek, Ben spoke through gritted teeth. “It’s all because of that woman, who was

being a busybody, this morning. Otherwise, Jessica wouldn’t have been certain of her decision to break up with me.

I can feel that she’s still into me.”

“What’s the point of saying this? I think you should focus on mending your relationship with her. Although both she

and her mother wish to cancel the marriage, you’re lucky that her dad still wants to proceed with it. I don’t care

how you settle it, but I want you to reconcile with Jessica.”

“Okay, I got it,” Ben replied. His phone rang immediately after he finished speaking and he panicked when he saw

the caller ID. “I-It’s my aunt.”

Evan also tensed up upon hearing that as he quickly ordered, “Hurry up and pick it up! What are you waiting for?”

After taking a deep breath, Ben answered, “Aunt Lara!”

Lara’s gentle voice sounded from the other end of the call as she said, “Ben, how are things going with Jessica

recently?”

Ben’s eyes darted toward Evan, as if he was asking the man for advice to respond to her question. Evan shot him a

look that read, Pacify the caller. “N-Not too bad.”

She sounded satisfied with Ben’s response, saying, “Alright. Make sure that you get along with her. The Roberts will

only be able to go against Eugene if we’re able to unite with the Smiths.”
