Chapter 1049 This Side of Azalea
Shannon nodded. "Yeah. I wouldn't have woken up if Eugene hadn't called me. You have no idea how scared I was
when I woke up only to not see you in the room. Please, Azalea, promise me you won't tell Eugene about this. He
will chew my head off for letting you go on your own again."
Azalea smiled upon hearing that. "Don't worry. I won't tell him. Why did Eugene call for you, anyway?"
"He asked me how you are feeling. He probably couldn't speak freely this morning because his wife was around."
Azalea's mood plummeted when she heard that. She even felt aggrieved when she remembered what happened
earlier in the day. How could he stay silent and watch Olivia bully me like that?
Even if he isn't interested in me, I am still his lifesaver.
How can he be so heartless?
"What did you tell him?" she asked.
Shannon read the look on Azalea's face and replied, "What else could I tell him? I only told him the truth. I said you

A glimmer of hope appeared in Azalea's eyes. "And what did he say?"
Shannon looked at her and inwardly scoffed. She is already planning to take her revenge, and yet she still hopes for
Eugene to be concerned about her?
"Eugene told me to keep you company."
Azalea flashed a sheepish smile at Shannon. "I must have made a fool out of myself in front of you today."
"Not at all." Shannon also sat down. "I've known for a while that you like my brother."
"How did you figure that out?" Azalea seemed surprised.
Shannon chuckled. "It's in your eyes. Don't you know that it's impossible to hide the fact that you have someone
you like?"
Azalea gazed out of the window and uttered softly, "You're right. The more I try to restrain myself, the more I fail.
After he left Nambahd six years ago, every day felt like an eternity for me. Perhaps I wouldn't be so trapped in my
feelings if he hadn't appeared again after six years. Alas, fate is cruel. Six years later, he not only returned but also
told me that he already has a girlfriend and a son. And here I am, unable to control my emotions as I dive in deeper
and deeper."
Upon hearing this, Shannon thought that this genuine side of Azalea was much more lovable than her previous
pretentious self.
The latter didn't even seem to feel tired from all the acts she insisted on putting on.
Shannon smiled and said, "I'm not familiar with the way feelings work, but it all depends on Eugene. As the saying
goes, you can take a horse to the water, but you cannot make him drink."
Azalea looked at Shannon and returned the smile. "I realized that this morning. Even if I put aside my dignity, he
wouldn't spare me a second glance. What else is there for me to not understand? I just couldn't accept it for a
moment there."
Hearing that, Shannon looked at her and asked with a smile, "Want a hug?"
"Thank you." Azalea smiled. "I will find peace one day."
…
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe living room on Muse Peninsula 59 was silent. Even though Eugene and Olivia were sitting on the couch, neither
of them said a word.
They had just finished listening to the recording that Shannon had sent. If it weren't for the familiar voice that was
unmistakably Azalea's, Eugene wouldn't have believed that these words came from the gentle and sensible Princess
of Namb.
That woman would actually use three children as bait to target Olivia.
Not only that, she claimed that Eugene would be hers once Olivia was dead.
But how could he be hers?
It was nothing but a delusion!
His face was grim; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that there was a sense of impending doom. Like a demon
from hell, he exuded an icy aura from head to toe.
Suddenly, he stood up and started to leave.
Startled by his abrupt action, Olivia also stood up and blurted out, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to look for her," Eugene hissed.
"And what are you going to tell her?"
Eugene's voice grew colder. "What is there to say? I will give her the recording and wait for her to explain herself."
