Chapter 65

Olivia and Eugene exchanged glances with each other and smiled. “Sure, let’s eat. What do you want to eat?”

Eugene turned his head and glanced toward North. “North, what do you want to eat?”

Then, they looked each other in the eye and said in unison, “Hotpot.”

Upon hearing that, she burst out laughing. Look at this tacit understanding between them; if I didn’t know better, I’d

have thought that they were actually father and son.

Later, they arrived at the hotpot restaurant. It was past 2 PM, and lunchtime was long over. Therefore, relatively

few people were eating there. So, they didn’t ask for a private room and found a place to sit in the front hall.

“What kind of hotpot do you want? Spicy, or non-spicy?” Olivia asked.

“Non-spicy!” the two guys sitting opposite her replied in unison.

She was surprised. “Mr. Nolan, do you not take spicy foods?”

“I do. But, I just can’t get used to eating spicy hotpot!” Eugene answered.

She laughed again. “You’re just like North! He doesn’t eat spicy hotpot either.”

Olivia’s words were carelessly said, but North narrowed his eyes happily. Well, we are father and son after all. Of

course, we’re similar! Recently, Daddy has been doing really well. I’m going to observe things for a little while more.

If he treats Mommy as well as I treat her, I’ll tell him the truth!

In the end, Olivia ordered a non-spicy hotpot along with many dishes to go with it. It could be said that she had

completely satisfied the appetites of the two guys sitting opposite her.

Eugene looked at North and smiled with a warm and gentle expression. “Your son is extremely adorable.”

Olivia glanced at North and groaned, “He only acts well-mannered. But, he’s actually very cheeky!”

“There’s nothing wrong with a boy being mischievous.” Then, Eugene glanced at the mother and son pair and

hesitatingly asked, “I’ve been meaning to ask; why does North have your surname? Where is his father?”

He didn’t believe the vile words that the old lady said. Therefore, he decided that it was better to ask the person

involved directly.

Olivia was taken aback, then she dismissively replied, “He’s dead! He died before the child was even born.”

Pfft— When North heard those words, he spat out the water he was drinking. At the same time, he nearly died

choking on the little bit of water he swallowed.

Glaring at Olivia resentfully, he secretly said in his heart, Mommy, why are you telling Daddy that he died to his

face? Isn’t that bad?

Eugene nervously patted him on the back. “Are you okay?”

Meanwhile, Olivia anxiously handed him a cup of water. “Quickly drink some water! Honestly, slow down! How can

you choke on water?”

Then, he drank his water while silently scolding her in his heart, Don’t you know how shocking the words you said

were?! After a while, he finally stopped coughing. Lifting his gaze, he complained resentfully, “Mommy, do you want

me to drink faster, or drink slower? Make up your mind!”

She glared at him. “Don’t talk back so much!”

However, North simply grinned.

On the other hand, Eugene had secretly noted down that fact. I see; the father is gone. No wonder the child takes

after her surname. “All these years, have you been raising him alone?”

She nodded. “Yeah, more or less.”

He found it extremely admirable. “That’s amazing. You’re so talented. Even then, you still managed to take such

good care of your child.”

Olivia was praised so highly that she didn’t know how to react. Thus, she was stuck in awkward embarrassment.

Fortunately, the waiter came over to serve their food, and the topic was averted.

Who could have known that the little guy would continue the topic after the waiter left? North said, “My mommy

isn’t really good at taking care of others. Since she can’t cook, we constantly eat out. Besides, she’s extremely

busy. So, I basically took care of myself. I mean; she doesn’t even know how to put on an extra layer of clothes

when she gets cold! I need to remind her to—”

Before he could finish, Olivia cut across his sentence. “North, hurry up and eat.”

How can this child tell him everything?! Can’t you leave me a little dignity in front of others?
