Unfinished Business with You
Chapter 415
Even Eugene was eloquent when it came to dishing out sweet nothings.
Afterward, the two of them went to buy some noodles. Just as Olivia had promised, she began cooking
upon returning home.
âEugene, why donât you give Brian a call and invite him over? Iâll show you what Iâm capable of today.â
Then, Eugene gave North a doubtful look, using his eyes to ask, âIs she serious?â
North replied in a calm and easy-going manner, âRelax; the noodles my mommy makes are pretty
good.â
Upon hearing those words, Eugene felt relieved. âI seem to recall you saying that your mommy is good
at making three dishes. One was egg-fried rice, and another was stir-fried tomato with scrambled eggs.
Are these noodles her third specialty?â
North nodded in response. âI survived until now all thanks to these three specialties!â
Eugene burst out laughing and ruffled Northâs head. âThese three dishes made my son into such a
smart boy.â
After a while, North raised his brows delightedly. âHave you reconciled?â
Then, Eugene smiled. âYour mommy said that she wasnât angry.â
Hearing those words, North shook his head precociously. âWomen always say things they donât mean.â
Thus, Eugene found himself at a loss for how to respond. Isnât this child a little too mature for his age?
âSon, are there many girls hitting on you at the kindergarten?â
North scowled fiercely in response. âIsnât that obvious?â
Looking at North, Eugene felt speechless. Fine. My son is so excellent; itâd be weird if he didnât have
any admirers!
Watching his father deep in thought for one second, and snickering to himself in the next, North
couldnât resist asking, âDidnât Mommy ask you to call Uncle Brian?â
Eugene came back to his senses, saying, âThatâs right; it nearly slipped my mind.â As he spoke, he
took out his phone and called Brian.
Meanwhile, North shook his head wordlessly at Eugene. What would Daddy do if he didnât have me?
After receiving treatment from Olivia for a week, Brian was feeling much better. Even if he slept all
night, his head didnât hurt as much anymore when he woke up in the morning. Moreover, despite
learning that Olivia had been involved in a fight at the bar recently and threw a small tantrum because
nobody stepped forward to help her, he didnât get dizzy or suffer from a headache.
Recently, he had been in constant contact with Eugene. Thus, the scales in his heart were slowly
tipping in Eugeneâs favor, especially when he saw the sweet interactions between Eugene and Olivia.
They gave him a heartwarming feelingâthis was his home, and they were his elder brother and sister-
in-law. For that reason, he had secretly buried the feelings he held for Olivia.
At first, he had been very unwilling to give up on her. He had been afraid of approaching her in the
beginning lest he brought harm on her. Later, he learned that Eugene was courting her too. Despite his
worries, he began to sink deeper in love with her. Frankly, everything he warned Eugene about was for
himself too. Thus, he knew that if he really loved her, he should keep his distance from her.
Afterward, Eugene claimed that she was the woman he had been searching forâfor seven whole
years. At that moment, Brian felt remorseful. He should have snatched her away without hesitation
before that fact came to light. After all, Eugene had had no clue at the time. However, Brian then
became aware that no matter how early he had appeared in her life, he could never meet her earlier
than his brother, who had met her seven years ago. If Eugene had not fallen in love with her seven
years ago, he wouldnât have spent all these years searching for her, nor remained single for so long.
Therefore, Brian understood clearly that she was his prospective sister-in-lawâshe was somebody he
could never covet no matter how strong his feelings for her!
Brian rang the doorbell, and Eugene answered the door. âCome on in! Weâre waiting for you!â
Then, Brian handed over two bottles of red wine that he had brought over.
Taking them from Brian, Eugene glanced at them and said disapprovingly, âArenât you on medication
right now? Youâre not allowed to drink!â He was now part of a traditional medicine practitionerâs family,
so he had learned some of the basics.
Brian glared at him in return. âItâs for Olivia.â
Eugene was rendered speechless. Yeah, right! As if!
âBrian, youâre here.â Olivia greeted Brian from inside the house. Thus, Brian replied and went inside.
Oliviaâs sesame noodles were ready.
