North grinned, snickering quietly.

It was rare to see Olivia looking embarrassed. Thus, Eugene couldn’t hold back his laughter. “I guess it wasn’t easy

for you to survive this long.”

North murmured vaguely, “That’s right. Fortunately, I have a lot of friends. Otherwise, I might have died of hunger

or froze to death by now. Still, I know Mommy didn’t do it on purpose. According to Mommy’s senior, it’s a miracle

she hasn’t accidentally killed herself.”

Upon hearing that, Eugene couldn’t help roaring with laughter.

On the other hand, Olivia’s expression immediately turned murderous, and she fiercely threatened, “North

Maxwell! Haven’t you been eating my cooking daily recently? If you continue talking nonsense, you won’t get dinner

tonight.”

North pouted and said innocently, “But, I didn’t say that! I was just repeating what your senior said! Mommy, you

can’t pick on me just because your senior isn’t here!”

She was sweating bullets. “When did I ever pick on you? You are the one tattling about all my shortcomings!”

He retorted, “You threatened me with dinner!”

Then, she glared at him. “Well, why don’t you go and look for those friends of yours? You were brought up by those

friends of yours after all. It won’t matter whether you have dinner or not.”

Thus, North turned to look at Eugene. “Uncle Eugene, will you treat me to dinner tonight?”

Eugene laughed. “Sure, I’ll treat you both to dinner.”

“North Maxwell, that Uncle Eugene of yours is my friend.” Olivia glared at North.

In response, North puffed out his cheeks, pouting as he lowered his head to eat. “Then, I better eat more now,

seeing as I won’t be eating tonight.”

She was a little speechless. I’m starting to notice that it’s getting harder and harder for me to control this little

b*stard.

However, Eugene’s expression was filled with warmth. He liked the way they interacted with each other—it was

very nice. Reaching out, he ruffled North’s little head. “You are a boy. Boys need to take good care of girls; do you

understand?” Then, he leaned over and whispered, “Right now, your wings are still growing. So, you need to

scheme and act docile for the sake of getting three meals a day. It’s not wise to offend your parents who feed and

clothe you!”

Olivia was utterly speechless. I can hear everything, okay? What is with this method of education?

North smiled widely. “I understand.” After that, he obediently turned toward her and said, “Mommy, I was wrong.

You are the best mommy in the world!”

She said nothing. Why do I feel so embarrassed?!

Eugene smiled. Then, he slowly put all the items they ordered into the hotpot. He was very particular about how

long each item should be cooked. Therefore, he was very clear about which item should go in first, and which item

should go in later.

In the end, Olivia decided not to continue struggling against them anymore. Well, if I’m bad at taking care of others,

then so be it. I’m just going to be a carefree little glutton, okay?

…

Not far away, a woman secretly took a picture of them and sent the photo to Nicole through WhatsApp. Along with

the photo was a message saying, ‘Nicole, I saw Eugene. He’s eating with a woman and a child. Look; is that a

relative of his?’

Soon, she received a reply. ‘That’s the doctor that helped cure Eugene’s grandpa.’

‘Oh; if I didn’t know any better, I’d have thought they were a family of three.’

‘Take another picture and be sure to choose an angle where it isn’t too obvious that it’s them in the background.

Then, post it up on Instagram.’ Nicole sent another message in reply.

The woman immediately understood her intentions. Thus, she turned sideways and took a selfie, including Eugene

and Olivia in the picture while she was at it. Although it wasn’t too obvious, they could clearly be seen in the photo if

it were enlarged. Posting it up on Instagram, she wrote a caption under it: ‘Let’s Have Hotpot; It’s My Treat’.

In this digital era, two mutual friends can make a photo viral very quickly. Thus, the photo became a trending topic

among their friend circles in the blink of an eye.

It was no secret how difficult it was to approach Eugene Nolan. Aside from Alex, even the friends he grew up with

didn’t dare to joke around with him. Therefore, the photo of him eating with a woman—especially since it was a

woman with a child—instantly became sensational news. Everybody thought that the woman was quite amazing to

be able to get so close to Eugene.

As a result, the photo was reshared several times, and Aleena saw the photo too.
