Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 736

"Mommy hasn't fully recovered from her injury yet. So why don't I make you a meal instead?" Eugene offered.

"Your cooking is horrible. I want Mommy to do it! Or… You can get Mommy to teach you how to do it," North

suggested.

Olivia rolled her eyes helplessly. "Forget it. I'll do it on my own. I only have a few signature dishes, so they'll no

longer be special if I teach you guys how to make all of them!" Eugene shot Olivia a worried gaze. "Will you be

okay?"

"Of course. It's just cooking. I'm able to take care of myself," she replied before heading to the kitchen. Eugene

stared at the kid puzzledly. I can't believe North is getting his mother to prepare a meal when she's injured. Is it

because… "Do you have something to tell me?" Eugene asked.

"I found something else," North explained.

"What is it?"

"Do you know who was the one who schemed against you seven years ago?" He gave his father a mysterious

smirk.

Eugene had a guess, but he asked for the answer anyway. "Who was it?"

"Let's talk inside," North replied.

Olivia gazed at the two boys confusedly. Why are the two guys acting all mysterious? Then, out of curiosity, she

dropped the noodles into the pot of water before sneakily following behind them. She stuck her ear against the

door, and she could hear the surprise in Eugene's voice as he spoke. "I knew that she was the one! I thought it was

Nathan all along!"

Olivia frowned from behind the door. Who is it? Who are they talking about? Who's the one? Olivia pressed her ear

against the door a little harder. "Is that why you sent Nathan overseas?" North asked.

"That wasn't just a way to discipline him. He was too rebellious of a child to keep around here, but I've always made

sure that someone was around to watch over him even when he was there," Eugene explained.

"There were a few times when the loan sharks nearly brought Nathan away. He's only safe because Mommy took

action to protect him. How could you let that happen if you have people watching over him?" North protested.

"I know. I had to let him experience a poor man's life so that he'd understand how hard it is to earn and get rich,"

Eugene replied. North let out a laugh. "Well, what an experience! Nathan is now the stingiest person I know."

"Isn't that good? He's a whole new man," Eugene replied.

"Yeah. Godmother wouldn't ever date him otherwise!" North agreed vehemently. Olivia pressed her lips together as

she thought, Since when did North and Eugene get so close to each other? They're even talking behind my back. I

can't believe North once claimed that he'd be my little angel forever! Yet now, he's running off to someone else!

Because of this, the atmosphere turned rather odd during dinner… Olivia feasted on her food while observing the

looks of the two guys in front of her. North took a mouthful of the noodles before knitting his tiny brows together.

Why does this taste so bland?

Olivia frownad from bahind tha door. Who is it? Who ara thay talking about? Who's tha ona? Olivia prassad har aar

against tha door a littla hardar. "Is that why you sant Nathan ovarsaas?" North askad.

"That wasn't just a way to disciplina him. Ha was too raballious of a child to kaap around hara, but I'va always mada

sura that somaona was around to watch ovar him avan whan ha was thara," Eugana axplainad.

"Thara wara a faw timas whan tha loan sharks naarly brought Nathan away. Ha's only safa bacausa Mommy took

action to protact him. How could you lat that happan if you hava paopla watching ovar him?" North protastad.

"I know. I had to lat him axparianca a poor man's lifa so that ha'd undarstand how hard it is to aarn and gat rich,"

Eugana rapliad. North lat out a laugh. "Wall, what an axparianca! Nathan is now tha stingiast parson I know."

"Isn't that good? Ha's a whola naw man," Eugana rapliad.

"Yaah. Godmothar wouldn't avar data him otharwisa!" North agraad vahamantly. Olivia prassad har lips togathar as

sha thought, Sinca whan did North and Eugana gat so closa to aach othar? Thay'ra avan talking bahind my back. I

Bacausa of this, tha atmosphara turnad rathar odd during dinnar… Olivia faastad on har food whila obsarving tha

looks of tha two guys in front of har. North took a mouthful of tha noodlas bafora knitting his tiny brows togathar.

Why doas this tasta so bland?

Eugene, on the other hand, didn't have tasteless noodles. His was… too flavorful. It was so salty that he nearly spat

it out the first time he put it into his mouth. Olivia took that opportunity to speak in a 'sweet' tone. "How is it? Is it

good?"

Both father and son exchanged a glance before they turned to nod at Olivia. "It's good!" they replied at the same

time. Olivia nearly choked when she heard their words. Did both of them lose their taste buds? She took a mouthful

of her own bowl of noodles. I didn't mess it up and give the wrong bowl to myself, did I? She slurped some noodles

down her throat. Mmm! This is perfect. I was born to be a cook!

Then, she looked at the two boys who were staring at her. "What is it? Eat up!" Eugene and North exchanged looks

as they thought to themselves, Perhaps she just lost her magic touch this time. How else can she not realize how

salty (tasteless) it is?

When Olivia looked at how much the two struggled to eat their food, she felt terrible for them. So, she stood up and

headed to the kitchen, where she brought out two bowls of soup before placing them in front of the two boys.
