“My mommy makes delicious egg fried rice, doesn’t she?” North asked gleefully while looking up at Eugene.

Olivia glanced at him automatically when she heard that. It was the only dish she was confident with, and so it was

only natural that she hoped Eugene had no complaints. The man mumbled in agreement, and he wolfed down the

entire bowl of fried rice. In fact, he looked as if he hadn’t had enough.

Upon placing his bowl down, Olivia heard Eugene exclaim clearly, “It’s delicious!”

Her mood improved significantly upon hearing that. “Are you full already? I can’t finish mine; why don’t I give you

some of mine?”

Eugene glanced at her in surprise. She almost bit her tongue right after saying that. How could I offer him my food

that I’ve already started eating? Why didn’t I think things through before blurting my thoughts out? She grasped at

straws while trying to explain herself, “I haven’t touched the rice on this side!”

Eugene answered her straight away, “No worries.” Then, he reached out to take her bowl of fried rice to spoon half

of it into his bowl. Furthermore, he took the portion which Olivia was already eating halfway through. Afterward, he

looked up at her, and his gaze gleamed teasingly. “Why are you so particular about these things? I’m not

complaining about you at all. Is this enough for you? Why don’t I return you some?”

The corners of Olivia’s lips twitched uncontrollably because this was her first time being so close with a man. Is it

alright to shift the rice repeatedly? Besides, what’s up with his gaze? He seems to be hinting something in his smile.

“No need; it’s enough for me.” She took her half bowl of rice and placed it in front of her after saying that.

“I’ll sleep with North tonight,” Eugene remarked while glancing at Olivia, who was also glaring at him. Are you

saying that you are planning to stay overnight here?

He looked down while chuckling quietly. This is strange. I actually understand what she’s trying to say through her

gaze. “What do you mean by that look of yours? Are you hoping that I’d sleep with you?”

“Wow, aren’t you a shameless one?” Olivia glared at him angrily. The feeling of gratitude from earlier was long

gone now.

Eugene suddenly looked serious. It will be bad if I anger this woman and she chases me out. “The child has just

returned, and I just want to keep him company.”

Olivia kept quiet, and she mulled it over suspiciously. At this moment, a child would most probably need a father

figure to provide him with a sense of security.

Just when she was about to agree without saying anything, she heard Eugene’s voice again. “In reality, I would truly

like to keep you both company. We can sleep in the same room, and I’ll spend the night on the floor.”

Olivia rolled her eyes straight away. “We can manage by ourselves.”

North, who was sitting across them both broke the silence. “Mommy, I want to sleep with Uncle Eugene!”

Olivia was rendered speechless when she heard that. With that, things worked out for Eugene, and he managed to

spend the night. After his night shower, he carried North onto the bed.

He went online to learn how to communicate with children just to be able to communicate with his son. However,

the information online didn’t seem appropriate for North, who had an exceptionally-high IQ. Can I tell my son

bedtime stories, just like what the internet says? Perhaps I could play some building blocks with him as a parent-

child game. But these obviously wouldn’t work.

Eugene supported his forehead with his hand helplessly. Finally, he decided to chat with North to try to get him to

relax. “I think your mommy’s egg fried rice was very delicious.”

North’s eyes sparkled enthusiastically, and he looked very proud when he said, “I know, right? That’s my mommy

after all! Her tomatoes with eggs are superb too.”

Eugene chuckled softly. “In that case, is my cooking or your mommy’s cooking better?”

“My mommy’s, of course!” North answered without missing a beat.

Eugene pouted. “Don’t you need to think it through? You don’t seem professional at all.”

North weighed his options seriously. “Mommy’s cooking is still the best.”

Eugene burst out laughing in frustration. “Why?”

North couldn’t express himself accurately, and he merely explained, “That’s because I can immediately tell if it’s

mommy’s cooking, and that is why it’s the best.”
