Chapter 168

Eugene really liked Olivia?

She instinctively took a step back as confusion and fear etched across her face. “E-Eugene, are you joking with

me?”

Eugene took a step forward.

Olivia instinctively took another step back.

Eugene frowned at that as he reached out to grab her hand. Seeing that she was still struggling, he pushed her

against the wall and inched closer. Immediately, the distance between them was reduced to none.

Eugene’s voice was low and raspy, making her feel somewhat safe. “Don’t be afraid. I won’t force you to accept

me, but I just wanted to tell you how I feel. Olivia, I really like you!”

Olivia felt as if thousands of horses had just stomped past her chest. She didn’t know why her body reacted so

uncontrollably. She was already a mother of a seven-year-old child and had received tons of confession in the past.

Was it really necessary to react this way?

Olivia instinctively pushed him away. “L-Let go off me first.”

Who in their right mind would press someone against the wall and confess to them? This scenario seems more like

a robbery, no?

Eugene backed away a little before he asked with his raspy voice, “Do you have anything you want to ask me?”

Olivia’s dumbfounded mind started churning at that. “W-Why do you like me?”

Hand in his pocket, although he looked like he was trying to act cool, he still looked slightly out of place. “I’ll answer

this formally. You’re smart, gorgeous, and have an attitude. You’re also a competent person, making you an ideal

girlfriend.”

Olivia frowned upon hearing his ‘formal’ answer. “Is there an informal version?”

“If I tell you that I don’t know why I like you, would you think that I’m just trying to brush you off? To be honest, I’m

unsure myself. I only know that I was quite embarrassed when I misunderstood you initially, so I wanted to make it

up to you. However, the more I know you, the more I realized that you’re so…”

Eugene suddenly lowered his head and chuckled before he looked up at her and said, “Adorable!”

Olivia facepalmed. That word really didn’t suit her at all.

Even Olivia herself didn’t think that she was cute.

“My emotions started to change along with yours. I could feel your happiness, your sadness. I can’t control my

temper when I see you getting wronged, and I want to tear apart those who bullied you. I couldn’t fall asleep after I

heard that you like another man. I didn’t want to confess to you so soon because I wanted it to happen naturally

when you finally fall in love with me as well, but… I can’t stand it anymore. I’m so terrified. I’m terrified that you

might really fall in love with another person.”

Eugene stared at her intently. Then, he inched closer to her again.

Olivia immediately straightened up her back and stared back at him. Overwhelmed by the situation, she could feel

her mind going blank again.

Why couldn’t this man just talk properly? Why must he unleash all of his charisma?

Olivia shifted to the side as she struggled to get away from the man before turning to him anxiously. “I don’t like

anyone, and I’m not planning to like anyone. I’m thankful that you like me, but I don’t think that we’re suitable for

each other. I’m not saying that you’re not a good person, but it’s just that I’m not planning to look for a boyfriend

right now. Well… I’ll be leaving now. North can sleep over at yours. I’ll pick him up tomorrow.”

Then, she turned around and wanted to leave.

However, Eugene reached out and dragged her back. He felt his heart aching when he saw her anxious expression.

Taking a deep breath, he consoled her, “Olivia, don’t be in a rush to reject me. I just want you to know that I like

you.”

Eugene’s voice was slow and soft. Even his movement when he reached out to move her baby hair to the back of

her ear was really gentle.

“Olivia, remember that I’m waiting for you if you want a boyfriend one day!”

Then, Eugene took a step back. “North is already asleep, so just let him sleep here. I’ll send him back tomorrow.”
