Naturally, Eugene entered the house. He took a look around. Though all the rooms had the same layout, hers somehow felt warmer and cozier. Olivia was feeling a bit awkward. She had just finished giving the little guy his medicine, so the house was a mess. While she invited him in, she was also busy cleaning up. “Is it just the two of you here?” he asked. “Yes,” she answered. Feeling like it came off rather cold, she added, “Have a seat, Mr. Nolan. I’ll go make you a cup of tea. Then, she entered the kitchen. Eugene quickly interjected, “That’s not necessary. I came to look for you about something. Have a seat and we can talk. However, she still came out with a cup of tea in her hands and placed it in front of him. “We don’t have great quality tea in our house. Please just have this for now. He extended his hands out of courtesy. “That’s okay. After Olivia put the cup down, she sat down opposite him. Sitting next to Eugene, North blinked his big black eyes as he looked around in amusement. “I want to eat some fruits, Mommy. She looked at him pointedly then went to get some fruits for him. As soon as the fruits were served, N orth plucked a grape off and handed i t to Eugene. “For you, Uncle Eugene!” . Eugene reached out to caress his head. “Than k you

You can eat it. “Mommy brought this out just for you. I like apples. ” As he said that, he g rabbed an apple and handed it to Eugene once more. Seeing the astonished lo ok on Eugene’s face, North asked, “Can you help me peel this, Uncle Eugene?” . Olivia felt perplexed. She hurriedly reached out and said, “Let me, Mr. Nolan. But Eugene refu sed, “It’s okay . I can do it. North glanced at Eugene. I gave you a chance, Dad dy. Make sure to do well. But little did he know th at Eugene could not peel an apple to save his life. Over the next five minutes, the tw o of them were on edge as they sta red at the apple in Eugene’s hands. North was worried that Olivia would be dismayed by Eugen e’s poor performance, but Olivia was only feeling anxiou s for the apple. How can someone peel an apple like that? . There were dents and bumps all over it. It looked like it had returned from war, all battered and bruised. Eugene was also apologetic and said stiffl y, “You can just eat what’s left of it. I’v e never peeled an apple for anyone before. North had no desire to eat the apple before, but aft er hearing what Eugene said, he gladly accepted it. “That’s alright. This is not bad for the first time. Eugene smiled. “I’ll do it prop erly next time. North nodded in agreem ent. “Yeah, it’s alway s hard the first time!”

The corner of Olivia’s lips twitched. She felt bitter just looking at North butter ing up to Eugene. He’s still happily eating that apple even though it looks like t hat. He’s too biased. Is everything that Eugene does good? That’s just groundless! . She looked up at Eug ene and asked, “How’ s your grandfather?” . Eugene turned to her and the light in his eyes dimmed slightly. “After you left that da y, he was up for no more than thirty minutes. We gave him something to eat then he went back to sleep. Later in the night, he woke up again and was awake for almost two hours. She nodded. “That’s normal. Since it’s a brain disease , constantly needing sleep is normal. Let him eat more light food. He can have more eggs, milk, and the like. He took note of that. “But I didn’t come to s ee you for that today. There was a moment of hesitation. It was hard for him to contin ue, but he felt restless even at the office. If he did not clea r things up, he felt like he would be constantly bothered by it. She looked at him in astonis hment. “Oh? What is it? Just tell me directly, Mr. Nolan. Taking a deep breath, he continued, “When you came to the company last time to ap ply for a position, I said a lot of awful things to you. I was actually wrong abo ut you. I was wondering if you would still be willing to come work at Nolan Group?
