Unfinished Business with You

Chapter 103

North shot him a glare. “Did you think I’d leave with just anyone?” he asked coldly.

North shot him a glare. “Did you think I’d leave with just anyone?” he asked coldly.

Inexplicably choked by this child, Eugene dissolved into laughter. “It seems that you consider me safe?”

“Of course!” North replied.

Eugene was instantly put in a good mood. “Hah, your judgment is impeccable! So, why did you ask me out?”

Without answering his question, North pointed at KFC that was right ahead of them. “I want to eat KFC!”

Eugene glanced at him but said nothing. Then, he turned his car and stopped before KFC’s entrance. After entering the fast-food joint, North ordered a few items Olivia usually didn’t allow him to eat before finding a table and waiting for Eugene. Meanwhile, this was the first time Eugene had ever queued in line. There were quite a number of patrons in KFC, so he only carried the food over to the table after having waited for about ten minutes.

North then kept his head lowered as he quietly ate without saying a single word. On the other hand, Eugene didn’t eat since he wasn’t hungry. Mainly, he was curious as to why this little fellow wanted to see him. After waiting for more than ten minutes, the little fellow was finally done eating, and he wiped his hands clean with a napkin.

At long last, he shifted his gaze to Eugene. “Who’s the lady at Nolan Residence yesterday to you?” he asked seriously, his expression solemn.

Eugene’s brows furrowed. “You mean, Zoe? She’s no one to me. Her family and the Nolan Family are friends, so we’ve known each other since young.”

“Do you have feelings for her?”

Eugene frowned. “Why would I have feelings for her?”

North shot daggers at him. “Then, why did you allow her to hold your arm?”

Staring at him, Eugene was gripped by the urge to laugh. “You were angry at me just because of this?” North didn’t deny or confirm it, so Eugene then explained, “She’s no different from Nathan to me.”

North curled his lips. “They’re absolutely different. Nathan is a man.”

“But there’s no difference to me,” Eugene countered.

After pondering for a moment, North asked, “So, how do you find my mommy?”

All of a sudden, understanding dawned upon Eugene. Don’t tell me this little fellow is so peeved because he wants to play matchmaker between me and his mommy? As this thought crossed his mind, he couldn’t quite stifle his laughter. “Your mommy is quite good.”

“In what way?”

The corners of Eugene’s mouth curved into a mischievous arc. “Little fellow, what are you trying to do?”

North gazed at him with a disdainful look in his eyes. “You still haven’t understood? I want to help you get a wife!”

Eugene doubled over. Are all kids now this precocious? “You want to recommend your mommy to me?”

North’s dainty eyebrows knitted together deeply, and his voice turned a touch frosty. “Do you not like her?”

After mulling it over for a while, Eugene answered, “It’s not that I don’t like her. I was just somewhat surprised that you’re actually recommending your mommy to be my girlfriend.”

Staring at him, North gave an adult-like sigh. “I want to recommend you a wife, not a girlfriend.” He was worried sick. These two people have known each other for so long, so why isn’t there any progress? They’re going as slow as a tortoise. If I were to wait for their relationship to blossom naturally, it’ll either be my daddy being snatched away by another woman or vice versa. “If you like my mommy, why aren’t you pursuing her?”

Eugene cracked up. “Liking someone is a matter of letting nature take its course. You’re still too young, so you don’t understand.”

Throwing him a glance, North retorted frigidly, “I only know that if you delay pursuing my mommy any longer, she’ll be snatched away by someone else!”

Eugene froze upon hearing that. “Who else is pursuing your mommy?”

“A man who’s comparable to you. My mommy even mentioned treating him to a meal. I think he’s a restaurant owner.”

Unbidden, Eugene’s heart sank a fraction. “Do you like him, too?” NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Another sigh came from North. “It doesn’t matter whether I like him. I think my mommy likes him quite a bit.”

Subsequently, Eugene asked, “Do you like me, then?”
