Chapter 1099 Five Against One
Eugene arched his brows at Olivia. "Did you hear that? The result of our family meeting is five against one."
She stared at him, feeling rather speechless. He is so shameless! I didn't agree to it!
…
At night, Eugene lay on the bed. After a few days of recovering, he could finally sleep on his back.
He had been sleeping on his stomach over the last few days. Besides, it was summer. His injury was recovering
slowly. That being said, his skin was recovering smoothly.
At first, the doctor concluded that Eugene's wound was deep, so he would need to stay in the hospital for at least
two weeks. However, Olivia ran a quick check on him a moment ago and found that he was almost healed.
She applied some self-made ointment to his wound, and it was more effective than the ointments available on the
market.
It was Olivia's first time staying in someone else's house and it was slightly uncomfortable. She fidgeted in her seat,

Eugene watched as Olivia put away her kit and cleaned the table. She then had a shower, changed into her
pajamas, and dried her hair. She had been busy for three hours and done everything he could think of, but still
showed no signs of sleeping.
"Aren't you going to sleep?" At last, he couldn't help but speak up.
She glanced at him and mumbled a response, "I am about to sleep. Can't you see I'm joining you?"
He teased her with a smug grin, "Are you worried about me pouncing at you at night? Me? With my injury?"
I'm not worried about it at all. It's just that… It's just that it's my first day moving in with him. I don't feel like I belong
in the house. I'm aware that I'm living in another person's house.
Even though the man before her was the man she loved, and the four boys sleeping on the second floor were her
sons, it didn't feel real.
It must've something to do with my habit of depending on myself all these years.
Even though Olivia felt like everything was unreal, she didn't let her feelings show. Watching Eugene, she coldly
remarked, "Mind your own business. Can't you behave on the bed just for once?"
At that, she took the other side of the bed.
Eugene burst into laughter. He suddenly remembered the nights she fell asleep next to her in the same room, and
he smiled at the sweet memories.
The bed was massive to the degree that Eugene felt like they, who took each side of the bed, were separated by a
milky way.
He was aware that Olivia wouldn't obey if he suggested she sleep closer to him. Thus, he shuffled on the bed to
move closer to her.
It wasn't an easy job, but he moved closer to her little by little.
She knitted her brows at the sight. "What did I say about behaving? Do you not care about your injury at all?"
He stopped, his puppy eyes fixed on her face as he mumbled, "It hurts, so why don't you come closer?"
"No way!" She glared at him. I knew it! He can't behave if we share one bed!
"Go to sleep!"

her.
Olivia had the urge to roll her eyes.
What's the point of sharing a massive bed? I thought we could have a peaceful sleep without disturbing each other,
but it seems that I've been in over my head. He's crazy, and I can't do anything but indulge him.
Afraid that his wounds would reopen, she stopped him. "Stop it! Don't move! What if your wounds reopen?"
At that, she leaned closer to him.
Eugene was overjoyed and it showed on his lips. However, he was difficult to please, and he moved toward her
again before pulling her into his embrace.
After all this while… I have been dreaming of falling asleep next to you.
The feelings were hard to describe. Thrilled? Ecstatic? No. No words can ever describe how I feel.
Eugene was over the moon. It feels like when I first heard her agree to be my girlfriend.
He fumbled with words to express his happiness. He rested his head against Olivia's shoulder to take in her scent.
Her scent was a combination of shampoo and the unique fragrance of her body.
It mesmerized him to no end.
Strangely, his gesture calmed Olivia. She could feel her heart soften up at his undisguised joy.
Where I live matters no more if I have him and our sons by my side.
