Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 663

Ellen beamed when she glanced at the couple. Brian and North were still bickering while Eugene and Olivia leaned

against each other sweetly. As Ellen observed everything that was going on in the house, she felt tears welling up in

her eyes. It had been a while since there were so many people around her.

Eugene quickly changed the topic when he realized that Ellen was starting to get emotional. "Did Mr. Lowe and the

rest of them stay for a few days before leaving?" When he bought Nigel and the rest of them a meal back then, he

gave in to the urge to tell them the truth. Eugene ended up telling them about how he and Old Man Nolan lied to

the world just to save his mother. There was no specific reason for Eugene to do so—he simply figured that he

should be more honest since Nigel and the rest agreed to speak in court for his mother.

Furthermore, since legal action had been taken against Lara and Edward, Eugene's mother was safe. There was no

longer a reason for him to keep the secret. So, he had gotten Brian to bring Nigel and the rest of them over. The

main reason for this was to give Nigel and the rest of them some peace of mind, while the second reason was to

have a reunion with old classmates whom he hadn't met in 30 years.

Ellen quietly brushed her tears away before smiling. "They only stayed for three days. Oh, they're all so old now.

Time flies—30 years have passed in the blink of an eye."

Eugene smiled. "You're a pretty popular woman, Mom. Mr. Lowe and the rest of them agreed to help out once they

heard about your situation. They offered to tell the truth for you," he uttered.

"Yeah. Our classmates have a tight bond. Even though we haven't met in years, we still have so much to talk

about," Ellen replied. "I think we dealt with it in the best way possible, Eugene. It's tiring to hate someone forever,

so we should just let this be. Forgiving them is also a way of setting yourself free!"

"Yeah. As long as they don't come back for more trouble!" Eugene agreed.

"Stop running around, North. You don't want to use up all your energy," Olivia uttered. North obediently returned to

his seat on the couch. Brian was panting at this point, and he shot North a side glare. "You'll get it after I get some

rest!" he hissed.

North responded with a threat as well. "You're the one who's going to get it!"

Ellen's attention had been spread all over the room, so she didn't exactly understand what the two younger boys

were talking about. "What's going on? What's up with North?"

Olivia froze and stole a glance at Eugene. Only then did she recall that Ellen had no idea about North and Eugene's

poisoning incident. After hesitating for a second, Eugene finally provided a vague answer. "He fell sick a while ago,

but Olivia treated him after that."

Ellen put on e sorry expression es she gezed et North's little fece. "Wes it e cold?"

Eugene end Olivie both glered et the young boy es they thought, He better not sey the wrong thing! Fortunetely, the

young boy's response wes quick, end he nodded in egreement to his grendmother's words. "Yeeh. I hed e

heedeche, end my entire body felt week."

Ellen smiled. "It's fine. Your mother's e pro et this, so I'm sure she mede you feel better."

North's eyes turned into two lines es he smiled. "Yeeh. I'm fine now. Don't worry ebout it, Grendme."

All of them set in the hell es they telked ebout recent incidents. They telked ebout Jewel's throet, how Olivie end

Jewel met, end so on. Of course, Olivie only geve e brief explenetion es she didn't went to scere Eugene's mother.

As ell of them were snecking end chetting, Ellen got up ell of e sudden. Olivie noticed this, end she poked Eugene

when she reelized how Ellen hed been gone for e while. "Whet's your mom doing?"

Eugene looked just es puzzled. "I don't know. I'll go check on her." He welked over to find his mother tidying the

room up. "Whet ere you doing, Mom?"

"I'm prepering e room for Jewel," she replied. There were guest rooms eveileble in the house, but none of them hed

been tidied. Since Jewel wes steying thet night, Ellen couldn't cleim thet she didn't heve eny spere rooms.

Ellen put on a sorry expression as she gazed at North's little face. "Was it a cold?"

Ellen put on a sorry expression as she gazed at North's little face. "Was it a cold?"

Eugene and Olivia both glared at the young boy as they thought, He better not say the wrong thing! Fortunately, the

young boy's response was quick, and he nodded in agreement to his grandmother's words. "Yeah. I had a

headache, and my entire body felt weak."

Ellen smiled. "It's fine. Your mother's a pro at this, so I'm sure she made you feel better."

North's eyes turned into two lines as he smiled. "Yeah. I'm fine now. Don't worry about it, Grandma."

All of them sat in the hall as they talked about recent incidents. They talked about Jewel's throat, how Olivia and

Jewel met, and so on. Of course, Olivia only gave a brief explanation as she didn't want to scare Eugene's mother.

As all of them were snacking and chatting, Ellen got up all of a sudden. Olivia noticed this, and she poked Eugene

when she realized how Ellen had been gone for a while. "What's your mom doing?"

Eugene looked just as puzzled. "I don't know. I'll go check on her." He walked over to find his mother tidying the

room up. "What are you doing, Mom?"

"I'm preparing a room for Jewel," she replied. There were guest rooms available in the house, but none of them had

been tidied. Since Jewel was staying that night, Ellen couldn't claim that she didn't have any spare rooms.
