Chapter 996 Why Can’t It Be Me, Olivia?

At that moment, George narrowed his eyes. "What are you talking about?"

"North is our child. Eugene is that man." Olivia repeated her words.

George was furious. He stood up abruptly and pointed at her. "Why are you still with him then? You left

because of him. He is the reason you have such a hard life. Did you forget everything that had

happened?" he asked painfully.

"No. I remembered it clearly. However, he is also a victim. He was being tricked by someone else. That

is why… For all these years, he had been searching for me," explained Olivia.

He looked at her in disbelief and scoffed coldly. "As if? Is that why you are easily swooned by his words

and forgave him?"

"No, George. He did many things to make it up to me. He treats us well."

"Well? Did he treat you better than I do?"

"No. No one treats me better than you." Olivia was ashamed, but she couldn't say anything. It was as if

something was stuck in her throat. In that split second, tears fell from her eyes.

"Did you forgive him because you want to give North a complete family?" George tried to make up

excuses for her. He wanted to hear a reasonable excuse. After all, he couldn't accept the fact that she

had abandoned him and dated a man whom she had known for a few months when he had taken care

of her for seven years.

Olivia wiped her tears and looked at George apologetically. "Although this is one of the reasons, I

actually didn't know he was the father when we were dating. I know you care very much about me,

George, and I can't thank you enough for that. Yet, I… It didn't feel the same with you when I was with

Eugene. I can't lie to myself, nor can I do this to you. I don't want to ruin our relationship. I want to be

your family forever, and I want you to be the loving brother you are, as always. I'm truly sorry."

Hearing her words, George had a bitter smile. Although Olivia was tactful with her words, he was still

hurt by the truth.

"Does that mean you guys were already dating when I came the last time?" he asked.

Olivia pondered for a moment before replying, "Yes. I just accepted his confession that day. However,

we are just trying things out. He wasn't even my boyfriend for longer than seven hours. I was afraid that

you would be mad when you knew I had easily accepted a man's love confession. That is why I hid him

away. To be honest, during your stay at that time, it was Eugene who cooked the food. My cooking

hasn't gotten any better ever since I came back. Moreover, I almost forgot how to cook since Eugene is

always the one cooking." As Olivia spoke, she had a soft expression, and her eyes were filled with

content. It was obvious that she was head over heels for him.

Looking at her expression, George could feel the jealousy boiling in him. He had guessed it right the

last time. He noticed that there was something between them when he last arrived. However, he didn't

want to believe it and kept brainwashing himself that nothing was wrong. He felt things would still be

the same if he didn't ask about it. In the end, when he saw Eugene's watch in the bathroom, he couldn't

stand it anymore.

After all, Olivia was the woman he adored. How could he hold back himself and watch another man live

in the same house as her? At that moment, there was no way he could lie to himself that Olivia was still

single.

Thinking about it, he looked at her and smiled bitterly. "You told me you didn't want to be in a

relationship, and I trusted you. I was willing to wait for you since I thought you were still traumatized by

what happened. Yet, who knew you would be back together with the man who had hurt you! How can I

accept this, Olivia? How can I watch the woman I cherished so much being taken away by that

b*stard?"
