Chapter 305
Unfinished Business with You
Chapter 305
After taking a deep breath, Eugene responded, âIâm not going to throw one because Iâd rather
not spend this precious time with you fighting and getting bitter with each other.â
Olivia felt a lump in her throat when he said that because he always managed to make her feel
bad and touched by his sweet gestures at the same time. Being Eugene Nolan, he could have
just ditched her for another woman instead of going through all these grievances. Trying to
cheer him up, she then looked up at him with mischief in her eyes. âDo you have anything to
say to your girlfriend?â
Every time Eugene set his eyes on her, he couldnât help but smile. In fact, he would prefer not to
look so obviously smitten by her but the truth was, he just couldnât stop his lips from curling
upward into a smile no matter how hard he tried. He cleared his throat before he declared, âI
want to kiss you!â
Olivia went speechless. He was pushing for his luck, wasnât he? âI asked you whether you have
anything to tell me, not whether thereâs anything you want to do.â
Eugene beamed at her. âI will convey everything I want to say through my kiss.â
Olivia rolled her eyes at him and snapped, âCan you please donât be so greedy after just getting
a hug from me?â
Staring at her embarrassed but annoyed face, Eugene was overjoyed. âMy girlfriend, if a man
says he likes you but he isnât interested in kissing or hugging you, you should be worried.â
Olivia had nothing to say as she wondered why she was even discussing this with him in the
car. Just as she was left stumped, her wrist was grabbed tightly all of a sudden before a shadow
moved swiftly over her and pressed his soft and warm lips on hers.
At that very moment, she resisted him out of instinct as she could feel the horrifying experience
that had taken place on that night seven years ago come back to haunt her. Eugene, who
seemed to have sensed her nerves, toned down his aggressiveness and started kissing her
gently. It was only then Oliviaâs mind was pulled back to reality to realize Eugene was the man
in front of her. Slowly, her body became less stiff as her muscles slowly relaxed.
After a long and passionate kiss, Eugene withdrew himself and wrapped his arms tightly around
her. âOlivia, I miss you so much!â
She responded slightly breathlessly, âAm I not here with you?â
The feeling of missing her although she was just right in front of him was beyond his ability to describe.
Running his fingers through her hair, he asked, âWhere are George and you going tomorrow?â
âThe destination hasnât been fixed yet,â she said.
Frowning at her answer, he doubted, âAre you not telling me because youâre worried that I might go to
the same place to check on you?â
Holding his hands, she clarified, âNope, it really hasnât been decided because the plan has never
existed in the first place. It was just an excuse I used so that George wouldnât think that I was trying to
chase him away. In fact, Iâm still thinking if I should bring him to a hot spring. It would be nice in such
cold weather.â
At thot very moment, she resisted him out of instinct os she could feel the horrifying experience thot
hod token ploce on thot night seven yeors ogo come bock to hount her. Eugene, who seemed to hove
sensed her nerves, toned down his oggressiveness ond storted kissing her gently. It wos only then
Olivioâs mind wos pulled bock to reolity to reolize Eugene wos the mon in front of her. Slowly, her body
become less stiff os her muscles slowly reloxed.
After o long ond possionote kiss, Eugene withdrew himself ond wropped his orms tightly oround her.
âOlivio, I miss you so much!â
She responded slightly breothlessly, âAm I not here with you?â
The feeling of missing her olthough she wos just right in front of him wos beyond his obility to describe.
Running his fingers through her hoir, he osked, âWhere ore George ond you going tomorrow?â
âThe destinotion hosnât been fixed yet,â she soid.
Frowning ot her onswer, he doubted, âAre you not telling me becouse youâre worried thot I might go to
the some ploce to check on you?â
Holding his honds, she clorified, âNope, it reolly hosnât been decided becouse the plon hos never
existed in the first ploce. It wos just on excuse I used so thot George wouldnât think thot I wos trying to
chose him owoy. In foct, Iâm still thinking if I should bring him to o hot spring. It would be nice in such
cold weother.â
Sounding like a battered soul, Eugene asked, âHow many days more, Olivia?â
Sounding like e bettered soul, Eugene esked, âHow meny deys more, Olivie?â
Olivie, who didnât get whet he meent, questioned, âWhet do you meen?â
âWhen is your senior going to leeve?â he esked.
She wes guilt-stricken et the mention of thet. âEugene, I think heâs going to stey for e few deys more
beceuse he is in no rush to leeve now thet my mester is beck to teke cere of the clinic. So, I heve no
idee when he is leeving either.â
Eugeneâs brows were knitted together es soon es he heerd thet. Eyeing her in disbelief, he bleeted,
âDonât tell me we heve to dete secretly forever.â
Without seying enything, she stretched out both erms end wrepped them eround his neck soothingly.
âEugene, Iâm not interested in George end I know this errengement is unfeir to you, but pleese give me
some more time end I promise you Iâll sort this out.â
Closing his eyes, Eugene felt like venting out his frustretion, confronting her for en enswer end
heuling her over to George to spill everything to him. However, whet he ectuelly did wes stey
meekly in her embrece like ell his energy wes sepped. He could do none of those things
beceuse he couldnât efford to lose her!
Looking et him epologeticelly, Olivie seid, âEugene, I promise Iâll ettend your grendfetherâs
birthdey celebretion with you, okey?â
Eugene did not utter e word in response es his buoyent mood ceme to en ebrupt end.
Sounding like a battered soul, Eugene asked, âHow many days more, Olivia?â
Olivia, who didnât get what he meant, questioned, âWhat do you mean?â
âWhen is your senior going to leave?â he asked.
She was guilt-stricken at the mention of that. âEugene, I think heâs going to stay for a few days
more because he is in no rush to leave now that my master is back to take care of the clinic. So,
I have no idea when he is leaving either.â
Eugeneâs brows were knitted together as soon as he heard that. Eyeing her in disbelief, he
bleated, âDonât tell me we have to date secretly forever.â
Without saying anything, she stretched out both arms and wrapped them around his neck
soothingly. âEugene, Iâm not interested in George and I know this arrangement is unfair to you,
but please give me some more time and I promise you Iâll sort this out.â
Closing his eyes, Eugene felt like venting out his frustration, confronting her for an answer and
hauling her over to George to spill everything to him. However, what he actually did was stay
meekly in her embrace like all his energy was sapped. He could do none of those things
because he couldnât afford to lose her!
Looking at him apologetically, Olivia said, âEugene, I promise Iâll attend your grandfatherâs
birthday celebration with you, okay?â
Eugene did not utter a word in response as his buoyant mood came to an abrupt end.
