Eugene shot Olivia a side glare. "It's all your fault!" She gave him an exasperated look as she thought, Aren't people going to overthink your words? People who don't know the truth might think that we were busy with some nasty stuff.

"You can just sleep somewhere else. How is it my fault?" she hissed.

He lowered his gaze as he smiled grimly. She might still sound rather polite now, but her eyes look like she's ready to stab me.

"You woke up too early," he insisted. She was speechless at this point—he was the one who woke her up just now, yet he was the one blaming her for waking up too early. Can he be any more shameless?

"I'll sleep with Jewel tomorrow, then," she uttered while glaring at him. He felt himself panicking for a moment, but he didn't reveal this on his face. "No. Someone else's sleep is going to be sacrificed if you go there."

Olivia gazed in Jewel's direction. "Jewel doesn't mind!"

Jewel smiled as she signed her words. 'You can sleep on your own!' She signed to Olivia. Although Olivia couldn’t understand complicated sign language, she was still able to understand basic sentences. I can't believe Jewel refuses to sleep with me! She's such an ungrateful brat.

Eugene chuckled before he addressed his mother. "I'm nearly done here, Mom. Why don't you take over?" He led Olivia out of the kitchen. Olivia looked like a cranky cat at that point. "How shameless can you get, Eugene? You're the one who couldn't sleep—what has that got to do with me?"

He quickly hugged and comforted her. "I'm sorry. It just slipped out of my mouth earlier."

She scoffed. "You were doing it on purpose! I know you well enough to know that. Anyway, I'm sleeping with Jewel tonight. You can sleep on your own!"

"It's the night before the new year, so I'm not going to sleep much," he said with a smile. After they were done with breakfast, it was nearly 10.00AM. Brian and Eugene kept themselves busy by decorating the place, while Olivia and Jewel helped Ellen with preparing the meal for that night. North, on the other hand, simply ran around the house. The atmosphere was warm and lively at home.

That night, they all prepared dumplings for their 11.00PM dinner. It was a family tradition for them to eat their dinner between 11.00PM to 1.00AM, as they held the belief that entering the new year with food on the table ensured their prosperity for the upcoming year. Furthermore, it was important that they ate dumplings during the dinner, as the shape of the dumplings was like gold bars that would ensure their wealth for the upcoming year.

Eugene, Jewel, and North were preparing dumplings in the kitchen while Ellen and Brian did the cooking. When Eugene saw the young lady lazing around on the couch, he called out to her. "Come over and help with the dumplings," he ordered.
