Chapter 104 Struck by a Bolt of Lightning
North arched an eyebrow as he looked at Eugene. “I heard that you were looking for a woman a few years back?”
Surprise inundated Eugene. “How did you know this?”
“Isn’t this common knowledge with some investigation?” North declared, a touch disdainful.
“You investigated it?” Eugene asked incredulously.
Curling his lips, North stared at him. “Do you know how much effort I expended to get Mommy to return here and apply for a job at Nolan Group? And do you know how many of my plans you’ve wasted?”
Could you imagine what it’d feel like to have a six-year-old kid sitting across you, saying such creepy things to you? Eugene felt his body inexplicably going limp, his heart pounding wildly as though he’d just finished a marathon. An answer seemed to be on the verge of bursting forth, but he just felt that something didn’t quite make sense. “What do you mean?”
North smiled craftily. “I’ll tell you if you agree to a few of my conditions!”
Eugene nodded. “What are your conditions?”
Gazing at him, North stated solemnly, “You can’t tell Mommy about our conversation today, and of course, it’s best if others don’t know about it, too.”
Eugene nodded. “Okay!”
North then continued, “Also, you’re not allowed to bully my mommy. Otherwise, I’ll retaliate on her behalf.”
“What about now? You think I’ll do?” Eugene asked with a chuckle.
“Passable.”
As Eugene gazed at North’s standoffish expression, joy imbued him. “You’re exactly like your mommy!”
Looking at the corners of his lips that remained lifted, North reminded, “Don’t scare my mommy. You should just continue with your method of letting nature take its course. I’m just playing it safe in telling you the truth. After all, I’ll prioritize my biological daddy, but if you don’t perform well, I don’t mind asking Mommy to find me a stepfather!”
Eugene was overjoyed, so much so that he didn’t take offense to the threat in North’s remark. “Okay,” he agreed.
