Chapter 93 New House
Jessica reminded Olivia of herself. That night seven years ago, she found out she was cheated on, just
like what Jessica was going through. However, the difference between them was that Jessica
interrogated the jerk like a wench, but Olivia let the jerk have a taste of his own medicine. No matter
how much Jessica did, she couldn’t save the relationship, and instead it made it awkward. Olivia, on
the other hand, thought jerks like that should bugger off to the ends of hell. “I was too agitated. Sorry.”
Eugene smiled at her. “It’s fine.” He was wondering why she was so worked up though.
An awkward silence befell them, and it wasn’t until a while later did Olivia say, “Sorry for that earlier. I’m
fine, actually. Just let bygones be bygones. You don’t have to offend your friend for me.”
“I should be the one to say sorry,” he replied. “That trouble you were met upon came from my end, so I

“That’s not the case,” answered Olivia. “They’re not kids, so nobody has to take responsibility for their
mistakes. Not even their parents have to, let alone a friend.”
Eugene stared at her. The sunlight shone on her through the window, basking her in an ethereal light.
There wasn’t even one enlarged pore on her face, and if he didn’t know better, he would have thought
she was a college student instead of a mother to a seven-year-old. Olivia was gentle, gorgeous,
understanding, and sometimes humorous. Without himself realizing it, Eugene stared at her for a long
while, entranced by Olivia.
Olivia was getting awkward from being stared at. Why is he looking at me instead of the road? She
coughed, signaling that he should snap out of it. “Do you need anything from me?” she asked.
Eugene remembered what he was here for, so he took out a key from the storage compartment in the
car. “Your address is exposed, so it’s unsafe. I got a new house for you in Muse Peninsula.”
“I’m fine, but thank you very much.” As if out of reflex, Olivia refused his offer.
“Just take it,” Eugene said seriously. “There are always dumb people out there. You’re lucky North
wasn’t there that day, or who knows what might have happened. You have to think for the kids. Muse
Peninsula isn’t far from the school and your workplace. You’ll be living in the same neighborhood as
Nathan, and he can take care of you.”
Olivia was grateful for Eugene’s attention to detail. Even though she had been overseas, Nathan had
told her Muse Peninsula’s houses cost a bomb to buy, and that was if a unit was available. If not for
that, he wouldn’t have arranged her to stay in La Grande Maison. She was astonished at how powerful
Eugene was, for he had settled it after a mere two days since that incident. “Thank you. I’ll pay you
back.”

Olivia smiled in resignation. “I do feel grateful that your grandfather was my first client after I came
back. Inadvertently, this solved a lot of my problems.”
“Get some movers to help you move as soon as possible.” Eugene grinned.
“Sure, but can you let me off, Mr. Nolan? I need to fetch my kid,” answered Olivia.
Eugene was about to offer her a lift, but her phone rang. Much to Eugene’s amusement, she only
managed to say a hello before the call ended. “What happened?”
“Nathan brought North to visit your grandfather.” Olivia felt speechless.
On the other hand, Eugene was delighted. “Grandpa likes North a lot, so don’t worry. He’ll be fine.”
“I know,” she replied. Olivia thought this felt jarring, for they didn’t know the Nolans that well, so visiting
them too much felt rude. There was nothing she could do about it though, for the ship had set sail.
