Unfinished Business with You
Chapter 166
Eugene replied, âYeah!â Then, he hung up on Olivia.
Olivia felt perplexed as she stared at her home screen. Heâs probably still mad at me, huh?
Maybe he only contacted her because he wanted to let her know that North was at his house. Of
course, it was possible that he only asked if she was coming back because North was disturbing him
from getting his rest, so he wanted her to pick up the child as soon as possible.
While Olivia was still overthinking, she suddenly heard soft sobbings. It turned out that Kate was
secretly crying. She would always use alcohol as a method to vent every time she was sad.
However, alcohol couldnât just numb a person forever. All it could do was help subdue oneâs pain
temporarily.
Olivia reached out to pull Kate into her embrace before whispering, âItâs okay to cry.â
Although Kate didnât say anything, her tears continued pouring out as she remained silent.
Olivia brought her back to her house, for she was too worried to let Kate go home on her own, seeing
how drunk she was.
When they got home, Olivia helped Kate to wash up and change into something comfortable. After
putting her to bed, Olivia headed upstairs to Eugeneâs.
On the 60th floor.
âAre you angry at Mommy?â North titled his head as he asked with an unhappy tone.
Eugene sighed deeply. âIâm not.â
He wasnât angry, and he also didnât blame Olivia for placing Brian first. Deep inside, he also felt like
Brian was more suitable for her.
However, he knew that Olivia was the woman that he was searching for after knowing what happened
seven years ago. How could I just let her go?
Eugene suddenly felt bad for being selfish, but heâd always thought that he could let go of everything
for his little brother. However, he didnât want to give Olivia to him at all. Even though he knew that it was
dangerous for her to be around him, he still didnât want to let go of her.
Eugene really hated himself for being like this.
North stared right at him. âAre you not happy?â
However, Eugene couldnât just tell the kid that he felt like his mother didnât like him.
After pondering for a moment, North spoke up again, âMy mommy doesnât like anyone at all.â Then, he
added again, âShe only likes me.â
Eugene smiled wryly. Ugh⦠what should I do? I canât hold on any longer.
I want Olivia to fall in love with me! I want to confess to her, and I want to tell her that I had already
been searching for her for so long!
âI want to tell your mommy the truth.â
North commented nonchalantly, âYou canât force Mommy.â
Faced with the childâs reply, Eugene gave him a look. âWhat if your mommy falls in love with another
person?â
North gave Eugene a disdainful look. âWork harder, then. Do you want me to call another person
Daddy?â
Eugene was rendered speechless.
Ding dong!
Eugene paused when the doorbell rang as both of them stared at each other. Soon, North motioned for
him to be quiet. âJust say that I fell asleep here.â Then, he ran into the room.
Eugeneâs heart softened at the sight of the small figure who had always supported him. Why was his
son so adorable?!
After composing his emotions, Eugene went to get the door. When he saw the person standing in front
of the door, he couldnât help but scan her up and down. Olivia was wearing a white knitted top paired
with black shorts without any outerwear. Ah, I see, sheâs wearing the sandals I gave her.
The way she dressed up to chill at home was very different from her usual outfits, and it made her
seem so much more approachable.
Olivia looked soft and adorable, making Eugene feel like someone just punched his heart.
Olivia explained awkwardly, âIâm sorry. I was held back by something just now. Whereâs North?â
However, Eugene continued staring blankly at her. His gaze was calming and dark, like a magnetic well
that would lure one into its trap if one werenât careful enough.
