Chapter 224
Unfinished Business with You
Chapter 223
Olivia frowned slightly. âEugene, donât force me. Iâve lived there for the past seven years, and so that
place is just like home to me! My senior is just like my family, and I admit that I have feelings for you.
Youâve managed to influence my life in just three months, and you even made North like you very
much. Iâve been indulging myself and you. Eugene, to be brutally honest, you and I have only known
each other for three months. Donât you think that you are too greedy?â
Eugene was slightly dumbfounded. Thatâs true!
I am too greedy! Initially, I just wanted to get closer to her. Now, Iâm staying over at her house, but Iâm
not satisfied. I canât bear the fact that sheâs phoning someone else. Eugene shut his eyes to calm
himself down. She has never changed all along; I am the impatient one. No! To be exact, I am jealous!
I am jealous of the man on the other end of the phone call. He is a threat to me despite the faraway
distance. She can joke over the phone call and pour her feelings out while being herself without
needing to put up a wall of defense. When it comes to me, she summed me up with a wordâgreedy.
His heart clenched painfully suddenly. Eugene looked at her and smiled. âI understand. Iâd
overestimated myself!â
Olivia inhaled deeply when she heard that. She felt a painful tug against her heart. Thatâs not what I
meant.
She wanted to hold onto him when he turned around to leave, but her hand brushed across the corner
of his shirt. Her lips parted, but she stared in silence as the man walked into Northâs room.
She took a deep breath, and her heart sank automatically.
Itâs fine as long as he doesnât leave for good!
Just when she was about to enter her room, Northâs room door opened once again. Eugene had
changed his clothes, and he walked out of the room.
It looks like he went into the room to change his clothes.
Olivia stared at him fixedly from Northâs room door until he walked to the living hall. Her heart
hammered while she stared unblinkingly at him.
What is he planning to do? Is he just going to leave?
Eugene came to a halt at a distance of two meters away from her. âI checked on North just now, and it
seems like heâs sound asleep. I donât think heâll have another nightmare.â After saying that, he breathed
in steadily. âYou should sleep a bit more. Iâm going back now.â
Olivia stared at his back view while he left, but her heart ached painfully, as if someone was stabbing
her in her chest. âEugene...â She sounded frightened and apprehensive!
He stopped dead in his tracks, and he inhaled deeply before turning around to face her. Once again, he
was back to his usual indifferent expression.
âI need to go back to work. You shouldnât go to your studio today; itâs best that you rest well at home.
North shouldnât go to school either. Phone me if anything crops up!â
He said that I should phone him if anything crops up!
Olivia stared at the door as it opened and closed. Was I afraid earlier? Was I afraid that heâd leave and
never come back?
She sat numbly on the couch. I know that he has been treating me well all along.
I know that he stayed over on purpose to keep us company. He did not sleep the whole night just to
look for North with me when he needs to go to work today. I even accused him of being greedy. In all
honesty, who is the greedy one?! He is Eugene Nolan! Has he put aside his pride to speak so humbly
to anyone else?
Olivia hung her head low. Iâm not even sure whatâs wrong with me. Iâm not sure if Iâm blaming myself for
hurting him, or Iâm blaming him for not persevering with his brazen ways and just left.
Nevertheless, she felt as if she had been terribly wronged, and her tears came rolling down
uncontrollably.
Even if Eugene is angry, he didnât need to⦠Hmm, I am just sad.
When Eugene listened to her speak on the phone, crying while claiming that she missed them, he felt
as if his presence didnât matter at all.
After living proudly for 28 years, this is my first time being ignored. Furthermore, the woman, who has
ignored me blatantly, is the woman Iâm in love with, yet I donât even have the right to lose my temper.
