Chapter 1269 Pretend Not To Know Me

Olivia's eyes took a while to regain clarity. Her chest rose and fell heavily, as if she had been utterly terrified by her nightmare. It took her some time to look around and realize that Eugene was right there, within arm's reach, along with the familiar layout of the room. Her awareness gradually returned.

Eugene asked in a soft and gentle voice, "What happened? Did you have a nightmare?"

She took a deep breath and realized with lingering fear that it was just a dream. Unfortunately, any negative emotions she felt because of the nightmare clung to her like a second skin. Tears welled up in her eyes and rolled down her cheeks. She was genuinely frightened.

He hastily wiped away her tears. "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Olivia didn't say anything. Instead, she simply tightly clung to Eugene's neck with both hands while nestling in his arms like a cat lacking a sense of security.

She was so grateful that he was still by her side.

Eugene knew that she had a nightmare, but he didn't rush to ask her about it. His large palm gently stroked her hair, trying to soothe her. His tender and affectionate gestures quickly calmed her emotions.
