Chapter 797
Alex questioned, "Do you wanna go back?"
"Not until you're going back too," Jewel answered.
Smiling at her, he took hold of her hand and stared into her eyes intensely. Next, he kissed the back of her hand
under her gaze.
Even his voice sounded sexy. "It's nice to hear that, but you can return if it's boring here. Don't feel that you owe
me something because I'm willing to do anything for you."
Her mind exploded in an instant as she gazed at him, questioning what he was doing with her eyes. Instinctively,
she withdrew her hand like a surprised bunny.
However, she thought that she was overreacting, so she clarified herself, "Do you want me to return?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"No, but I respect your decision," replied Alex.
Jewel put down the bowl in her hand and signed, 'You're hurt because of me. How can I leave you here?'
"I'm glad that I have the chance to be the hero that saves a damsel in distress. That way, you won't push me away
anymore," he exclaimed.
His words made Jewel feel awkward. 'I didn't.'
"Then, are you willing to stay until we can return together?"
She nodded her head.
"Thank you, Jewel." He smiled and she blushed as she pursed her lips in embarrassment.
In the meantime, the atmosphere downstairs rose due to Brian and North's bet.
After winning that one bet, Brian lost consecutively. He drank a lot, but he was fine, thanks to his decent alcohol
tolerance.
Instead, the drink that North had taken was coming into effect as his face turned crimson and his eyes glossed over.
Once the game ended, he kept pestering Olivia to sing for him. He even pulled her hands onto him to have her pat
his back while hugging.
She found it funny yet sad, for that little brat was not as clingy when he was young. She carried him and stood up.
"Baby, shall we sing at home?"
"Okay," he answered meekly.
Eugene rose to his feet. "I'll hold him."
Just as she was going to hand over the boy to him, North began pushing Eugene away with a fierce expression. "Not
you. I want Mommy! This is my mommy!"
His action rendered Eugene speechless and helpless.
Isn't it time for me to be your dad, young man? You entrusted your mother to me. There's no taking back!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLeaving with no choice, Olivia held the boy herself. However, his growing height made it difficult for her to do so.
When Eugene was going to offer his help, North stopped him again. "Stop following us."
Eugene frowned.
This brat. Don't you know who I am?
Still, he could not reason with a drunk kid, so he had to show his trump card. "Son, your mother is having a hard
time holding you. I'll take you to your room and come back. I won't interrupt your mother singing. How's that?"
North blinked his hazy eyes and soon, he nodded as though he just understood what it meant.
After successfully holding the kid, Eugene walked them to the room. North began to drive Eugene out when he was
tucked in bed. "Leave!"
Olivia smiled as well. "I can take over from here. You can leave."
With brows furrowed, Eugene looked at the snorting little guy regretfully. "I shouldn't have let him drink. Brian is
seriously a troublemaker."
Who knew that his grumble reached North ears? The drunken kiddo then narrowed his eyes warningly. "Don't speak
ill of my uncle."
