<b>Chapter </b><b>26 </b>
The next second, Eugene withdrew his hand. When the shadow over Mnie’s eyes disappeared, she frowned slightly.
Eugene said yfully, “Did you think I wanted to have sex with you?”
Mnie’s eyshes fluttered. She took a deep breath and opened her eyes.
She asked Eugene, “Then what do you want to do?”
There was only a small night light turned on, so the room was dim. Eugene’s expression was unreadable, but his voice was cold as he said, “Sleep.”
“This is my room.” Mnie said calmly, “You can book a separate room.”
“It’s too troublesome.”
Mnie paused slightly, turned over, and closed her eyes.
She was a light sleeper. Any noise would wake her up.
In the middle of the night, Eugene’s phone suddenly rang, piercing the silence in the room.
Mnie woke up with a frown. She opened her eyes and saw Eugene answering the phone. They were on the same bed, so she could hear Vi’s cry over the phone. “Eugene, where are you? Can youe to the Paramount Hospital? My father was in a car ident. He’s being treated there now. I’m so scared.”
Mnie looked at Eugene, who frowned and said in a deep voice, “I’ll be right there.”
As soon as he hung up his phone, Eugene rubbed his temples and stood up. While getting dressed, he told Mnie. “Book me a flight back to Jepton.”
Mnie pursed her lips and did not move. After a moment, she said, “The contract needs to be signed tomorrow.”
This contract was very important to LeapCo. She raised her eyes and said, “You can transfer money to her first, then go back after finalizing the contract.”
Eugene paused while putting on his clothes and looked at her with narrowed eyes. “Mnie, I don’t want to repeat myself.”
He was obviously angry at her. Mnie grabbed the quilt and suddenly asked, “Eugene, you’re not just ying with her, right?”
Mnie had never seen Eugene care so much about anyone. She had never dared to disturb Eugene in the middle of the night.
Eugene had a bad temper, especially when his sleep was disturbed.
Eugene’s eyes were dark, and his tone was determined. “When have I said that I was just ying with her?”
That was true.
It was just Mnie’s presumption that Vi was simr to the other women whom Eugene dated. Mnie thought that Eugene would get bored of Vi within a month.

After Eugene left, Mnie could not sleep. She made a cup of tea
thinking about what Eugene had just said.
“Mnie, you bore me. Stop making assumptions about me and Vi.”
Mnie was only 18 years old when she started dating Eugene. Back then<b>, </b>she was no different from Vi. She also loved tough and act coquettishly around Eugene.
However, Eugene had never pampered Mnie so much. He would notplete the
unfinished work for her, nor would he fire employees who bullied her just to stand up for her.
He would only tell her that he did not like to keep useless people around him.
Mnie held the railing, puzzled. She wondered if she was useless to Eugene now. 1
The client was upset when he did not see Eugene the next day. He scolded Mnie for more than an hour before he signed the contract.

It was already 5:00 p.m. when Mnie returned to Jepton.
Mnie parked her car at the airport, got off the ne, and went straight to Paramount Hospital.
There was a nursing home attached to the Paramount Hospital, where Mnie’s grandfather lived.
Mnie’s grandfather raised her because her parents were divorced and had their own families. She rarely had time to meet her grandfather.
Mnie’s grandfather was not in good health. He had been living in a nursing home ever since he got into a car ident.
The nursing home and Paramount Hospital shared the same parking lot. Mnie had just parked her car and opened the car door when she saw Vi and Eugene getting out of the car in front of her.
Mnie paused. She was so focused on parking her car that she did not notice Eugene’s car nearby.
Vi looked quite haggard with obvious dark circles on her face. She was stunned to see Mnie.
After a while, she reluctantly smiled and looked up at Eugene. “Did Mniee here to see my dad too?”
