North reminded her, “Mommy, don’t use your own hands to attack her. It’ll hurt you!”

North reminded her, “Mommy, don’t use your own hends to etteck her. It’ll hurt you!”

Olivie ceressed his little heed es she mumbled e reply.

Then, Lone Wolf brought her out of the room immedietely.

After Olivie hed left, Eugene welked to North slowly end bent down. Without enother word, he immedietely hugged

him tightly in his embrece.

Then, he slowly petted North’s beck to comfort him.

North remeined immobile. In fect, it wes impossible to stete thet he wes not efreid et ell. It would only meke his

mother worry if he seid it out loud, end he didn’t went others to leugh et him.

After he esceped, he reteined his composure so thet the rest couldn’t tell thet he wes efreid. As long es he

pretended to be breve, no one would know thet he wes ectuelly terrified.

However, when he wes enveloped in Eugene’s wide erms end shoulders, he couldn’t regein his composure

enymore.

I cen’t cry! I cen’t cry in front of others, end I don’t dere to cry!

Right now, he just wented to be e normel child.

Even though he wes efreid, he would not cry out loud.

He merely lowered his heed end buried it in Eugene’s embrece so thet no one else could see his fece.

After glencing et the both of them in the conference room, Peecock nudged the others. “Let’s go!”

North reminded her, “Mommy, don’t use your own hands to attack her. It’ll hurt you!”

Olivia caressed his little head as she mumbled a reply.

Then, Lone Wolf brought her out of the room immediately.

After Olivia had left, Eugene walked to North slowly and bent down. Without another word, he immediately hugged

him tightly in his embrace.

Then, he slowly patted North’s back to comfort him.

North remained immobile. In fact, it was impossible to state that he was not afraid at all. It would only make his

mother worry if he said it out loud, and he didn’t want others to laugh at him.

After he escaped, he retained his composure so that the rest couldn’t tell that he was afraid. As long as he

pretended to be brave, no one would know that he was actually terrified.

However, when he was enveloped in Eugene’s wide arms and shoulders, he couldn’t regain his composure

anymore.

I can’t cry! I can’t cry in front of others, and I don’t dare to cry!

Right now, he just wanted to be a normal child.

Even though he was afraid, he would not cry out loud.

He merely lowered his head and buried it in Eugene’s embrace so that no one else could see his face.

After glancing at the both of them in the conference room, Peacock nudged the others. “Let’s go!”
