Chapter 1157 Thankfully, You Were There
Why am I bothering myself with things that have yet to happen?
"I get it now, Eugene."
At that, Eugene turned his head around and smiled at Jewel. "What matters is that you're
happy. We're all just mundane humans, no need to compromise for anyone. Just confront
anyone who pisses you off."
"That's right," Olivia echoed with a smile. "No one will dare mess with you with Eugene
around!"
"Life doesn't seem so hard anymore." Jewel smiled too. "Huh, I wonder why."
"Exactly!" Olivia replied. "There really aren't any troubles in the world. What troubles us
are the unnecessary ones."
It was near midnight when Eugene and Olivia returned to Golden Age, and only Felix, the
butler, was waiting for them.
"You're still awake, Mr. Felix!" Olivia exclaimed apologetically. "No need to wait for us if we
come back this late."
"It's alright. It's my duty," Felix replied.

very disciplined. They went to bed at half-past nine!"
"You should rest too." Olivia returned the smile.
"The boys have another day off, right?" Eugene asked after changing his shoes.
"Yes. Their examination starts when they return to school," Felix reported.
"Have someone bring Grandfather over tomorrow," Eugene said, surprising Olivia. "He's
already pretty old. He shouldn't be going through such a fuss."
"But he should get to see his great-grandsons, no?" Eugene beamed.
Olivia couldn't help but laugh as she looked at Eugene, who acted like a proud child. "Well,
someone's being low-key."
At that, Eugene held her hand as they walked upstairs. "If I wasn't injured and worried
about Grandfather, I would have brought him here the day I returned. He would be so
happy to know that he has four great-grandsons!"
Olivia wasn't sure if Eugene's happiness rubbed off on her or if Alex Road and Jewel's
matter being resolved tonight had lifted a big weight off her shoulders, but in any case,
she was in a great mood.
Suddenly, she felt a wave of emotions. In the past, she always considered herself unlucky.
She had a pure heart yet was bullied for no reason. Then, her father kicked her out. She
endured seven years of hardship.
Even after returning, she faced constant turmoil. Her son was kidnapped and targeted,
and she became widely known due to online scandals. Her father even told her that she
wasn't their biological daughter but an abandoned child. However, when she looked back,
although she couldn’t find her biological parents, she was still raised and cared for by her
adoptive parents. Her son's ordeals had all been miraculously resolved, and the man she
met loved and cherished her. Her mother-in-law was understanding, and her career was
thriving.
What made her feel most fortunate was that the man she loved turned out to be the
biological father of her child. Not only that, but they suddenly gained three more sons,
each exceptionally intelligent and excelling in their respective fields.
What were the odds of such a fortunate turn of events? How destined was all this to
happen? How many good deeds had she done in her past life to receive such good
fortune?

People should always look forward. Dwelling on the past would only hinder progress!
She snuck a peek at her man, and a slight smile formed at the corner of her lips. A certain
place in her heart felt full and warm, filled with his love and respect.
Perhaps he was right. They should both live in the present. Worrying about things that had
yet to happen and being anxious about imagined outcomes was futile.
Right after the two entered the bedroom, Eugene pressed her against the door. His eyes
sparkled as if they were holding hidden starlight, and his large hand gently caressed her
face.
"You were truly radiant today, Olivia," he said out of the blue, stumping Olivia, and she
looked at him with a tilted head. "Sorry?"
"Your response to Alex's mother, with your IQ and EQ, was simply amazing!" Eugene
explained, making Olivia chuckle. "I thought you were going to say something else. But
yeah, no one else said a word!"
"Well said." Eugene smiled. "They were all emotional, and no matter who took it a step
further, there was no way to end it peacefully. Thankfully, you were there. Otherwise, Alex
would've definitely fallen out with his mother, and his relationship with Jewel would've
been over."
