Unfinished Business with You
Chapter 114
Olivia laughed awkwardly at his remark. âForget it. Itâs such a hassle to find a boyfriend!â
Olivia laughed awkwardly at his remark. âForget it. Itâs such a hassle to find a boyfriend!â
A slight frown appeared between Eugeneâs brows. âHow much of a hassle can it be?â
She was puzzled, looking at him. âItâs like how youâre not looking for a girlfriend. Iâm doing just fine with
North, so why would I need another person to bring some changes into our lives? Only because I need
him to cook for me? If thatâs the reason, I can always hire a chef. However, if I get a boyfriend, Iâll have
to worry about how he feelsânot to mention his interests and hobbies, and Iâll even have to worry
about his loyalty toward me. Itâs totally not worth it!â
Eugene was speechless; it seemed like he was fighting a losing battle!
North was also speechless; it seemed like his Daddy was fighting a losing battle!
He paused for a while before answering, âYouâre only thinking like this because you havenât found a
man who has moved you!â
Olivia was indifferent. âI guess so! I just feel like love is a gamble with only a ten percent chance of
winning and I donât want to make the same mistake twice. Humans have a high level of intelligence.
After all, we should know how to learn from our lessons!â
Eugene gave a slight smile at her words. âThe mistake isnât love itself, but who you spend it on. You
decided to spend it on the wrong person, which caused your perception of love to be distorted, but not
all men are bad. We have to allow ourselves to make mistakes and not let it stop us from going
forward. There is no love without the bittersweet ups and downs!â
âIf there was no love, then there wouldnât be any bittersweet ups and downs to worry about!â
Eugene was defeated. Olivia was a tough fighter in the game of debates, causing him to be out of
ideas to rebut her arguments.
North was vigorously following their conversation, turning his head left and right as they both stated
their pointsâone after another. After all, what they concluded on would determine whether he would
have a daddy or not.
âIs that even love? Love means missing the person as soon as they leave your side and not being able
to concentrate all day until you get to see them. When you do, you become so happy. Itâs that kind of
uncontrollable attraction that you feel for them!â Eugene finally retorted.
Olivia stared at him with curiosity. âSuch a thorough explanation, huh. I guess youâve already known
love.â
Eugene was slightly taken aback. âYeah, I have! But after hearing it from you, Iâm starting to feel a little
unsure about that.â
The corner of her lips twitched. What have I done? I canât be the one to ruin someone elseâs emotion
with my opinion, can I?
She had no idea that the person whom Eugene meant could have been her; instead, she tried to
encourage him.
âTo be honest, this is really just my two cents. Love is different for everyone and youâll only know when
youâve experienced it. Everything is well as long as theyâre both happy!â
She was initially worried that North would babble and cause Eugene to misunderstand. The little brat
could now finally give up since Eugene already had someone else whom he was interested in.
Instead, Northâs eyes brightened as he looked at Eugene. Who is my daddy talking about? Donât tell
me itâs my mommy?
However, Eugeneâs expression remained nonchalant. âYouâre right. Iâm very happy, but I havenât told
her yet. Iâm not sure how she feels about me!â
Olivia agreed half-heartedly and said, âI canât help you on this. After all, everyone thinks differently, but
for someone like you, there canât be many women who would reject you, right?â
âShe has a unique personality and doesnât care about money. Iâm worried that my confession would
ruin our relationship, so Iâll just leave it as it is for now.â
She nodded. âThatâs good, too. Itâs better to gauge the progress yourself.â
Eugene studied her with his deep eyes. This woman isnât interested in me at all. If it wasnât for that and
she had feelings for me, she canât be as oblivious as this.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang, which startled him as he immediately turned to Olivia. âYou guys should
eat. Iâll go and take a look.â
When Eugene saw Nathan looking back at him behind the peeping hole, his eyes widened in surprise.
What is he doing here? No! How did he know that Iâm here?
He turned and said to Olivia, âOh, itâs my assistant.â
Then, he opened the door.
