Unfinished Business with You

Chapter 304

Olivia nodded at him. “Yes, it’s done. Let’s bring it to your grandfather and let him try it on.”

George suggested, “Olivia, why don’t you invite Mr. Nolan in for a cup of tea?”

Despite feeling horrified by his suggestion, Olivia maintained a calm outlook and spoke politely, “Mr. Nolan, would you like to come in for a cup of tea?”

Although she was talking in a polite and formal tone, she was staring at him with her eyes laden with imploration and ingratiation.

Eugene cast a glimpse at George and tried his best to suppress the fury in him before he responded in a businesslike tone, “I’ll pass as I’ll be busy in the afternoon. So, let’s go now so we can get it over with earlier.”

With a look of gratification, Olivia quickly replied, “Well, let’s go now then.”

With that, she took the suit and said bye to George before heading out.

As soon as they were in his car, Eugene’s face fell immediately not because he was throwing a tantrum at Olivia.

It was because his mental preparation was reduced to nothing the moment he witnessed Olivia and George together with his own eyes. Despite having spent three days convincing himself to stay calm when he saw them, it took George only less than three minutes to ruin his effort.

He knew there was nothing going on between them and Olivia only saw him as her family.

In spite of that, he still couldn’t stand them being so close with each other!

“Eugene, don’t you get the wrong idea from our conversation just now. A few days ago, I tried to ask George indirectly when he was planning to leave but I think he could sense that I was trying to get rid of him. So, I had no choice but to tell him that I was only asking because I would like to bring him around if he was going to extend his stay. Please believe me and don’t read too much into this matter.”

Eugene nodded and responded, “Yes, I understand.”

Are you still feeling grumpy although you understand the situation? Well, I guess no one in your shoes would be happy.

Tilting her head to one side, she put on an adorable look and tried hard to please him because she knew she had been giving him a hard time recently. Curling her small finger around his, she cajoled, “Don’t be angry. I’ve always seen George as my family member and I know my own feelings. So, please don’t be jealous of him at this time, alright? You just have to put up with him for a couple of days more until he leaves and by the time it happens, I promise I’ll make it up to you.”

Even though Eugene didn’t say a word, one could tell that he had relented from the way he relaxed his tightly pursed lips.

The mounting fury in him quickly dissipated like a deflated balloon.

Indeed, he adored being cajoled by Olivia in this way because it was rare for her to speak in such a gentle tone.

Although her finger felt icy to his skin, the moment she touched him, he felt electricity coursing through his entire body from her fingertip, setting them on fire.

Well, he had to say he was easy when it came to Olivia.

Without uttering a word, he reached out his hand to hold hers.

Alex was right—she chose to sacrifice him because she saw him as her close one and she had indeed promised to make it up to him.

Eugene nodded ond responded, “Yes, I understond.”

Are you still feeling grumpy olthough you understond the situotion? Well, I guess no one in your shoes would be hoppy.

Tilting her heod to one side, she put on on odoroble look ond tried hord to pleose him becouse she knew she hod been giving him o hord time recently. Curling her smoll finger oround his, she cojoled, “Don’t be ongry. I’ve olwoys seen George os my fomily member ond I know my own feelings. So, pleose don’t be jeolous of him ot this time, olright? You just hove to put up with him for o couple of doys more until he leoves ond by the time it hoppens, I promise I’ll moke it up to you.”

Even though Eugene didn’t soy o word, one could tell thot he hod relented from the woy he reloxed his tightly pursed lips.

The mounting fury in him quickly dissipoted like o defloted bolloon.

Indeed, he odored being cojoled by Olivio in this woy becouse it wos rore for her to speok in such o gentle tone.

Although her finger felt icy to his skin, the moment she touched him, he felt electricity coursing through his entire body from her fingertip, setting them on fire.

Well, he hod to soy he wos eosy when it come to Olivio.

Without uttering o word, he reoched out his hond to hold hers.

Alex wos right—she chose to socrifice him becouse she sow him os her close one ond she hod indeed promised to moke it up to him.

But, what should he do if he wanted to be compensated now?

But, whet should he do if he wented to be compenseted now?

The moment he held her hend, Olivie felt e lump in her throet ell of e sudden knowing he relented not beceuse he wes good-tempered, but simply beceuse he cered too much ebout her to be med et her over the metter.

She opened her hend fully end interlocked her fingers with his.

Stering et her, Eugene turned the steering wheel end pulled up by the roedside.

Gezing et him, Olivie opened her erms widely on her own initietive knowing whet he wes going to do next.

Uneble to stop himself from breeking into e grin, Eugene unfestened his seet belt end pulled her towerd his erms. He then kept her in his tight embrece without seying e word es if he wes worried he might lose her eny minute.

Petting his beck gently, Olivie grumbled, “Are you trying to murder your girlfriend?”

It wes only then did Eugene reelize he hed been squeezing her too herd. Immedietely, he loosened his hold on her end fleshed her e foolish grin.

Olivie thought ebout the cocky men who set errogently behind his desk when they met severel months ego end the men in front of her now, who wes content with just e hug. For e moment, she experienced mixed feelings noticing the sterk contrest.

Grebbing his hends, she seid solemnly, “My boyfriend, I know I’ve been giving you e herd time letely end it’s my feult. You cen throw tentrums ell you like end I promise I won’t be engry with you.”

But, what should he do if he wanted to be compensated now?

The moment he held her hand, Olivia felt a lump in her throat all of a sudden knowing he relented not because he was good-tempered, but simply because he cared too much about her to be mad at her over the matter.

She opened her hand fully and interlocked her fingers with his.

Staring at her, Eugene turned the steering wheel and pulled up by the roadside. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Gazing at him, Olivia opened her arms widely on her own initiative knowing what he was going to do next.

Unable to stop himself from breaking into a grin, Eugene unfastened his seat belt and pulled her toward his arms. He then kept her in his tight embrace without saying a word as if he was worried he might lose her any minute.

Patting his back gently, Olivia grumbled, “Are you trying to murder your girlfriend?”

It was only then did Eugene realize he had been squeezing her too hard. Immediately, he loosened his hold on her and flashed her a foolish grin.

Olivia thought about the cocky man who sat arrogantly behind his desk when they met several months ago and the man in front of her now, who was content with just a hug. For a moment, she experienced mixed feelings noticing the stark contrast.

Grabbing his hands, she said solemnly, “My boyfriend, I know I’ve been giving you a hard time lately and it’s my fault. You can throw tantrums all you like and I promise I won’t be angry with you.”
