Chapter 223
Olivia frowned slightly. “Eugene, don’t force me. I’ve lived there for the past seven years, and so that place is just
like home to me! My senior is just like my family, and I admit that I have feelings for you. You’ve managed to
influence my life in just three months, and you even made North like you very much. I’ve been indulging myself and
you. Eugene, to be brutally honest, you and I have only known each other for three months. Don’t you think that
you are too greedy?”
Eugene was slightly dumbfounded. That’s true!
I am too greedy! Initially, I just wanted to get closer to her. Now, I’m staying over at her house, but I’m not satisfied.
I can’t bear the fact that she’s phoning someone else. Eugene shut his eyes to calm himself down. She has never
changed all along; I am the impatient one. No! To be exact, I am jealous!
I am jealous of the man on the other end of the phone call. He is a threat to me despite the faraway distance. She

defense. When it comes to me, she summed me up with a word—greedy.
His heart clenched painfully suddenly. Eugene looked at her and smiled. “I understand. I’d overestimated myself!”
Olivia inhaled deeply when she heard that. She felt a painful tug against her heart. That’s not what I meant.
She wanted to hold onto him when he turned around to leave, but her hand brushed across the corner of his shirt.
Her lips parted, but she stared in silence as the man walked into North’s room.
She took a deep breath, and her heart sank automatically.
It’s fine as long as he doesn’t leave for good!
Just when she was about to enter her room, North’s room door opened once again. Eugene had changed his
clothes, and he walked out of the room.
It looks like he went into the room to change his clothes.
Olivia stared at him fixedly from North’s room door until he walked to the living hall. Her heart hammered while she
stared unblinkingly at him.
What is he planning to do? Is he just going to leave?
Eugene came to a halt at a distance of two meters away from her. “I checked on North just now, and it seems like
he’s sound asleep. I don’t think he’ll have another nightmare.” After saying that, he breathed in steadily. “You
should sleep a bit more. I’m going back now.”
Olivia stared at his back view while he left, but her heart ached painfully, as if someone was stabbing her in her
chest. “Eugene...” She sounded frightened and apprehensive!
He stopped dead in his tracks, and he inhaled deeply before turning around to face her. Once again, he was back to
his usual indifferent expression.
“I need to go back to work. You shouldn’t go to your studio today; it’s best that you rest well at home. North
shouldn’t go to school either. Phone me if anything crops up!”
He said that I should phone him if anything crops up!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOlivia stared at the door as it opened and closed. Was I afraid earlier? Was I afraid that he’d leave and never come
back?
She sat numbly on the couch. I know that he has been treating me well all along.
I know that he stayed over on purpose to keep us company. He did not sleep the whole night just to look for North
with me when he needs to go to work today. I even accused him of being greedy. In all honesty, who is the greedy
one?! He is Eugene Nolan! Has he put aside his pride to speak so humbly to anyone else?
Olivia hung her head low. I’m not even sure what’s wrong with me. I’m not sure if I’m blaming myself for hurting
him, or I’m blaming him for not persevering with his brazen ways and just left.
Nevertheless, she felt as if she had been terribly wronged, and her tears came rolling down uncontrollably.
Even if Eugene is angry, he didn’t need to… Hmm, I am just sad.
When Eugene listened to her speak on the phone, crying while claiming that she missed them, he felt as if his
presence didn’t matter at all.
After living proudly for 28 years, this is my first time being ignored. Furthermore, the woman, who has ignored me
blatantly, is the woman I’m in love with, yet I don’t even have the right to lose my temper.
