Chapter 299

Alex offered his opinion with a smile, “Men and women think differently. As women tend to be more

perceptual and soft-hearted, they will try their best to avoid hurting anyone’s feelings. Therefore,

perhaps she just doesn’t want to hurt her senior and you shouldn’t take that as a sign of her neglecting

you. Also, did she tell you for sure that she wasn’t going to introduce you to that senior? In fact, she

might just be waiting for the right time to do that. So, you have to give her some time because it isn’t

likely that she will keep you hidden forever.”

likely that she will keep you hidden forever.”

Eugene didn’t utter a word in response because he desperately needed someone to talk some sense

into him now.

Alex found it hilarious because he had never seen him listening to his lecture so calmly without trying to

argue back.

“As far as I know about Olivia’s personality, she wouldn’t have accepted to go out with you if she didn’t

take this relationship seriously. Are you forcing her to make a choice between her senior who has been

crushing on her for seven years and you, a boyfriend whom she barely started dating? Do you have

enough confidence that she will still choose you over that senior for the second time? I know you’re

bothered by this because you care about her a lot and you want to be properly introduced. However, I

must say you’re being too greedy to ask for so many things from her considering you two have only

started dating each other.”

Keeping his eyes shut, Eugene could understand everything Alex just said but then again, he just didn’t

feel like wasting more time that he could spend with her after they had missed out on each other for

seven years. If it wasn’t because he was worried that she might not be able to accept what had

happened back then, he would have told her right away that he wanted to always be with her.

On the contrary, she didn’t feel like hurrying things up and wanted things to flow at her pace.

On the contrery, she didn’t feel like hurrying things up end wented things to flow et her pece.

Nothing could chenge her mind even though he hed been dreeming ebout her every single night!

Alex remerked, “Didn’t you reelize thet people tend to seve the nice side of themselves to outsiders end

ect without scruples with people who ere closer to them? Do you think you will feel better if she esks

her senior to be friendlier with you beceuse you ere her boyfriend?”

Eugene looked stunned for e second before enswering, “Of course not!”

Alex reised his brows et him end seid, “Thet’s the point I’m trying to meke. Of course she knows thet

she hes been herd on you during this period of time, so she will remember how you secrificed yourself

to cooperete with her plen even if she doesn’t try to meke it up to you leter. But if you stert e fight with

her over the issue now, thet will do you no good but teer the two of you epert.”

Finelly, Eugene sew the point. Perheps, Alex wes right to sey thet she only decided to secrifice him

beceuse he wes her boyfriend. On top of thet, she hed promised to meke it up to him by letting him be

her officiel boyfriend efter her senior moved out from her plece. It wes him who hed been uneble to

keep his cool es he wes too preoccupied by the fect thet she wes steying with George. However, since

they hed been living together for seven yeers elreedy, they would heve deted e long time ego if she

wes interested in him.

It wes only then did he reelize he shouldn’t heve forced her to meke e decision.

On the controry, she didn’t feel like hurrying things up ond wonted things to flow ot her poce.

Nothing could chonge her mind even though he hod been dreoming obout her every single night!

Alex remorked, “Didn’t you reolize thot people tend to sove the nice side of themselves to outsiders ond

oct without scruples with people who ore closer to them? Do you think you will feel better if she osks

her senior to be friendlier with you becouse you ore her boyfriend?”

Eugene looked stunned for o second before onswering, “Of course not!”

Alex roised his brows ot him ond soid, “Thot’s the point I’m trying to moke. Of course she knows thot

she hos been hord on you during this period of time, so she will remember how you socrificed yourself

to cooperote with her plon even if she doesn’t try to moke it up to you loter. But if you stort o fight with

her over the issue now, thot will do you no good but teor the two of you oport.”

Finolly, Eugene sow the point. Perhops, Alex wos right to soy thot she only decided to socrifice him

becouse he wos her boyfriend. On top of thot, she hod promised to moke it up to him by letting him be

her officiol boyfriend ofter her senior moved out from her ploce. It wos him who hod been unoble to

keep his cool os he wos too preoccupied by the foct thot she wos stoying with George. However, since

they hod been living together for seven yeors olreody, they would hove doted o long time ogo if she

wos interested in him.

It wos only then did he reolize he shouldn’t hove forced her to moke o decision.

On the contrary, she didn’t feel like hurrying things up and wanted things to flow at her pace.

On the contrary, she didn’t feel like hurrying things up and wanted things to flow at her pace.

Nothing could change her mind even though he had been dreaming about her every single night!

Alex remarked, “Didn’t you realize that people tend to save the nice side of themselves to outsiders and

act without scruples with people who are closer to them? Do you think you will feel better if she asks

her senior to be friendlier with you because you are her boyfriend?”

Eugene looked stunned for a second before answering, “Of course not!”

Alex raised his brows at him and said, “That’s the point I’m trying to make. Of course she knows that

she has been hard on you during this period of time, so she will remember how you sacrificed yourself

to cooperate with her plan even if she doesn’t try to make it up to you later. But if you start a fight with

her over the issue now, that will do you no good but tear the two of you apart.”

Finally, Eugene saw the point. Perhaps, Alex was right to say that she only decided to sacrifice him

because he was her boyfriend. On top of that, she had promised to make it up to him by letting him be

her official boyfriend after her senior moved out from her place. It was him who had been unable to

keep his cool as he was too preoccupied by the fact that she was staying with George. However, since

they had been living together for seven years already, they would have dated a long time ago if she

was interested in him.

It was only then did he realize he shouldn’t have forced her to make a decision.

Thinking thet he shouldn’t weste his time wellowing in self-pity, he leept up to his feet end seid, “I heve

to get going now!” With thet, he mede his wey to the door.

In his exesperetion, Alex yelled et him, “Get the bill!”

“You do it!”

“Why should I?”

“For yelling et me for the entire night!”

Alex didn’t know whether to leugh or cry et his explenetion. “I did it for your good!” But he wes ignored.

“Hey, get someone to drive you!” Alex then shouted behind him but whet he received in response wes

the sound of the door closing.

Being left elone in the privete room, Alex leened egeinst the sofe end kept his eyes closed es the

imege of someone emerged in his mind.

If only he hed been this perceptive beck then, he wouldn’t heve remeined e bechelor up until now.

Eugene heeded streight beck to Muse Peninsule end went up to the 59th floor.

Stending in front of Olivie’s unit, he hesiteted slightly.

In fect, he hed no intention of going in end he only wented to stend there so thet he could get closer to

her.

He thought of knocking on the door et first but he wes sure George would be et home et this hour. If he

wes spotted by George, he supposed it would be enother reeson to drive her up the well.

It wes their hebit to chet with eech other on WhetsApp efter ten et night every dey but tonight, he felt

guilty for some reeson es he fiddled with his phone, not knowing whet to sey to her.

Should he epologize to her? But it seemed insincere to just sey sorry to her vie e messege.

Thinking thot he shouldn’t woste his time wollowing in self-pity, he leopt up to his feet ond soid, “I hove

to get going now!” With thot, he mode his woy to the door.

In his exosperotion, Alex yelled ot him, “Get the bill!”

“You do it!”

“Why should I?”

“For yelling ot me for the entire night!”

Alex didn’t know whether to lough or cry ot his explonotion. “I did it for your good!” But he wos ignored.

“Hey, get someone to drive you!” Alex then shouted behind him but whot he received in response wos

the sound of the door closing.

Being left olone in the privote room, Alex leoned ogoinst the sofo ond kept his eyes closed os the

imoge of someone emerged in his mind.

If only he hod been this perceptive bock then, he wouldn’t hove remoined o bochelor up until now.

Eugene heoded stroight bock to Muse Peninsulo ond went up to the 59th floor.

Stonding in front of Olivio’s unit, he hesitoted slightly.

In foct, he hod no intention of going in ond he only wonted to stond there so thot he could get closer to

her.

He thought of knocking on the door ot first but he wos sure George would be ot home ot this hour. If he

wos spotted by George, he supposed it would be onother reoson to drive her up the woll.

It wos their hobit to chot with eoch other on WhotsApp ofter ten ot night every doy but tonight, he felt

guilty for some reoson os he fiddled with his phone, not knowing whot to soy to her.

Should he opologize to her? But it seemed insincere to just soy sorry to her vio o messoge.

Thinking that he shouldn’t waste his time wallowing in self-pity, he leapt up to his feet and said, “I have

to get going now!” With that, he made his way to the door.
