However, the more Olivia pretended to be alright, the more heartbreaking it was to others. Jewel was anxious as
she thought the two would solve their misunderstanding after seeing each other, but why did it feel like things had
worsened?
“Olivia, why don’t you head outside and talk to Eugene?” Olivia did not respond. After thinking about it, Jewel
offered, “How about I let him in, and you guys talk it out?” While she spoke, she was about to open the door.
At the same time, North also seemed anxious, hoping they would have a good conversation. Unexpectedly, Olivia
piped up just as Jewel was almost at the door. “Whoever dares to open the door and let him in will become my
enemy!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThen, Jewel and North looked at Olivia on the bed. She remained motionless, and her voice sounded muffled.
“Olivia, what is it that you can’t talk it out in person?”
Olivia was sneering inside. What difference does it make? No matter what, he thinks of me as a fool. Meanwhile,
North felt distressed for his mother and approached her. “Mommy, we can forget about him if you don’t like him.”
When she heard what he said, her tears instantly fell. She did not want her son to see her in such an embarrassing
state, so she pulled the covers to cover her head. “Go to bed and leave me alone.”
Jewel tried to persuade her. “Olivia, you should give him a chance to explain. He does love you.” Olivia’s voice came
from under the covers. “Perhaps he loved me before, but I’m not so sure now.”
Jewel replied, “He still does! Otherwise, why would he be waiting outside?” Olivia angrily rebuked, “That’s because
he has a guilty conscience. He has an insatiable desire to two-time me, so stop persuading me. You guys go to bed
and let me have some quiet time!”
Feeling resigned, Jewel sighed. “Fine. You should come out, or you’ll suffocate. North and I will be heading out now.”
Since their room was a presidential suite, Jewel came out from the room and told North, “Wash up and sleep.” The
kid wore a grim face at her. “Aunt Jewel, tell me what happened. How did they become like this?”
Seeing that she could not keep it hidden anymore, Jewel briefly explained what happened to North, but she did not
mention Christoff. “Your mommy and I disguised ourselves and went to the Nambahd Palace and saw your
daddy…”
After listening to the whole story, North was surprised. “He almost got engaged to the Princess of Namb?”
Not wanting her explanation to be biased and affect his judgment, Jewel explained, “They didn’t get engaged. Your
daddy refused and might’ve been under house arrest, so he was forced to attend the banquet.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis expression remained cold. “If others threatened him, and he couldn’t escape, why didn’t he threaten that
princess back?”
She sighed. “That’s what your mommy wants to know too. Everything would’ve been fine if your daddy had told her
the truth, but he didn’t say anything, leading your mommy to overthink.” North reprimanded, “Serves ’em right!”
Confused, Jewel thought she had heard it wrong and glanced at him. “Who are you talking about?” “Daddy.” He
glared at the door. “Now he wants to explain, but it’s a pity that Mommy doesn’t want to hear it anymore.”
She was at a loss for how to react when she heard that. The little fellow would not hesitate to stand beside his
mother.
“Let’s go to bed.” He urged before adding, “Wait. I need to prepare ice cubes for Mommy. She cried, so her eyes
will be swollen tomorrow morning.”
