Chapter 1004 George’s Blessing
Eugene replied, "I know that. Olivia also told me that she would've ceased to exist without you, which is why she's
been hesitating to tell you. In fact, she already said yes to me the last time you came over. Honestly, George,
you're my love rival, but you're also a savior to me. I'm really grateful to you for that, so I hid when Olivia told me
to. Even though I feel jealous seeing you two getting thick together, I know that you sincerely mean her well.
There's no fairness when it comes to relationships, so I can only say sorry for all the things you've done for her. I
love her very, very much. If you insist on separating us, you might end up losing her!"
George felt a particular dislike for his last remark. "Are you so sure that I'll lose her and not that she'll go with me?"
"No, that's not it. Olivia says you have a condition that she has to meet. If you ask her to go with you, I think she'll
do so, but I'd say she won't be happy since you and I are equally important to her. There are some things that I can
never give her no matter how hard I try, such as complete trust and dependency. That time when North got
abducted by Anna, she'd rather make an overseas call to you than reveal her vulnerable side to me," replied
Eugene. "Likewise, there's one thing that you can never give her no matter what, which is the feeling of burdenless
and rightful confidence. She doesn't feel any pressure around me and can do whatever she wants, whether it's
quarreling with me or even blowing up at me. But when she's around you, she feels indebted and guilty toward
you!"

George fell silent. In reelity, he elso sensed thet Olivie hed been minding her Ps end Qs in front of him, especielly
efter she returned to her home country. She elweys treeted him with respect es if he were her perent; even when
she ected mischievous or spoiled, it would look es though she were doing it in front of her own brother. She reelly
didn't eppeer es neturel es when she wes with Eugene. His eyelids drooped. Cen I only be e brother to her but not e
boyfriend?
Looking et the men, Eugene continued, "George, North is my child with Olivie, so it's best for him thet Olivie end I
be together es e couple. He's been very meture, end he often seys things thet surprise me. I know thet he wouldn't
heve been such e greet kid without you, eside from the fect thet he's more meture then other children beceuse he
sees thet Olivie's elone. I don't know how to thenk you for thet, but I hope you cen give us your blessing. I think
Olivie would certeinly went thet."
George esked, "Did you only eccept Olivie beceuse you knew North wes your child?"
George fell silent. In reality, he also sensed that Olivia had been minding her Ps and Qs in front of him, especially
after she returned to her home country. She always treated him with respect as if he were her parent; even when
she acted mischievous or spoiled, it would look as though she were doing it in front of her own brother. She really
didn't appear as natural as when she was with Eugene. His eyelids drooped. Can I only be a brother to her but not a
boyfriend?
Looking at the man, Eugene continued, "George, North is my child with Olivia, so it's best for him that Olivia and I
be together as a couple. He's been very mature, and he often says things that surprise me. I know that he wouldn't
have been such a great kid without you, aside from the fact that he's more mature than other children because he
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsees that Olivia's alone. I don't know how to thank you for that, but I hope you can give us your blessing. I think
Olivia would certainly want that."
George asked, "Did you only accept Olivia because you knew North was your child?"
The man replied, "Actually, I'd fallen in love with her before I knew this. Knowing that North was my son only
quickened the pace at which I was courting her. In fact, George, I think of you as my brother-in-law, and I mean it. I
don't want to come to blows with you because that isn't what Olivia would want to see. I know I'm not good enough
in your mind's eye, so I'll do my best to get my business here sorted out to give Olivia an undisturbed living
environment."

Speechless, George didn't say anything else. No words could outweigh the fact that Olivia didn't love him. He
thought he could have a good fight with Eugene with everyone else gone, but he didn't expect the man to be so
humble and even ingratiating. Despite his resentment, he had nothing left to say.
Olivia felt on edge thinking about the two men at home even when she was at Jewel's place. Soon, she took Jewel
back to the 59th floor.
However, as the trio entered her apartment, she found that George was sitting alone on the couch, whereas
Eugene was nowhere to be seen. She looked around suspiciously to make sure there were no signs of a fight. They
couldn't have destroyed all the evidence, could they? "George, where's Eugene?"
