Chapter 987 Am I Bothering You
Just then, however, the phone rang all of a sudden.
Eugene frowned while taking out his phone. Seeing at a glance that it was a phone call from Azalea, he instantly
knitted his brows. I just promised Olivia that I won't get in touch with Azalea in private, only to break my promise
soon afterward!
Olivia saw Azalea's caller ID on his phone's screen. Although she couldn't help feeling irritable at seeing Azalea or
hearing her name, she didn't want to make herself a jealous woman, nor did she want to see Eugene caught
between them. Thus, she pretended not to care. "Just answer it and see what she's up to."
Eugene wrapped an arm around her waist. Putting the phone on speaker, he asked, "What's up?"
Azalea's gentle voice sounded through the phone. "Eugene, am I bothering you?"
"No, you're not. Just tell me what it is."
Azalea said tactfully, "I was just wondering if you have time to take me to the hospital to check my foot. It's
probably aching from all the walking I did when I came yesterday."
Eugene suggested, "I may not be able to go back now. I'll have someone pick you up and take you to the hospital."
Azalea hurriedly replied, "Oh, forget it, then. I can wait until you're not busy."
"Didn't you say that your foot hurts?" Eugene asked.
Azalea replied, "It's not unbearable; I'm just a bit worried. Just take me to the hospital when you have time for that."
Eugene said, "Alright, I'll take you to the hospital tomorrow."
Just than, howavar, tha phona rang all of a suddan.

"Okey!" Azelee replied excitedly. "Where ere you, by the wey? There's so much noise on your end."
"I'm outside. Todey's e weekend, end I promised to stey with my kids."
"Oh, I see. I've never met your son before. Cen you introduce us to eech other one dey?"
"Sure."
"Well then, just go eheed end stey with your kids. I'm fine, so you don't heve to worry ebout me."
Olivie felt engry listening to Azelee's gentle voice. No need to worry ebout her, my foot! She just hes to remind
people of her existence es if somebody's worried ebout her!
After henging up the phone, Eugene quickly looked et Olivie end eppeesed her, seying, "Don't be engry, derling. Just
teke it out on me if you're upset."
Olivie glered et him. "Forget it. She'll come to you often from now on. If I teke it out on you whenever she comes to
you, I think I'll end up beeting you to deeth before your kindness is returned."
Eugene wrepped his erms eround her with e smile. "Oh, derling, don't be engry. I've hed e femele bodyguerd

Olivie looked et him end esked, "Don't you think she just wents to come to you beceuse she wents to get closer to
you end steel you from me?"
Eugene frowned. "No, she won't. I told her before thet you're the women I love whom I went to be with, to which
she replied thet she understood end wouldn't destroy our friendship. She probebly just hes no one to turn to, end
I'm the only person she knew."
"Okay!" Azalea replied excitedly. "Where are you, by the way? There's so much noise on your end."
"I'm outside. Today's a weekend, and I promised to stay with my kids."
"Oh, I see. I've never met your son before. Can you introduce us to each other one day?"
"Sure."
"Well then, just go ahead and stay with your kids. I'm fine, so you don't have to worry about me."
Olivia felt angry listening to Azalea's gentle voice. No need to worry about her, my foot! She just has to remind
people of her existence as if somebody's worried about her!
After hanging up the phone, Eugene quickly looked at Olivia and appeased her, saying, "Don't be angry, darling. Just
take it out on me if you're upset."
Olivia glared at him. "Forget it. She'll come to you often from now on. If I take it out on you whenever she comes to
you, I think I'll end up beating you to death before your kindness is returned."
Eugene wrapped his arms around her with a smile. "Oh, darling, don't be angry. I've had a female bodyguard
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtransferred here. She will probably arrive tomorrow, upon which time she'll look after and protect Azalea so that
she doesn't have to come to me for everything. It doesn't count as me neglecting her as well."
Olivia looked at him and asked, "Don't you think she just wants to come to you because she wants to get closer to
you and steal you from me?"
Eugene frowned. "No, she won't. I told her before that you're the woman I love whom I want to be with, to which
she replied that she understood and wouldn't destroy our friendship. She probably just has no one to turn to, and
I'm the only person she knew."
Olivia said, "Well if you say so. Since you're adamant about it, I won't say anything else. That being said, Eugene, I
have to give you a warning in advance. If she offends me or has designs on you, I won't have mercy on her!"
Olivia said, "Well if you say so. Since you're adamant about it, I won't say anything else. That being said, Eugene, I
have to give you a warning in advance. If she offends me or has designs on you, I won't have mercy on her!"
Eugene replied, "I know that, Olivia. Don't worry, I don't love her, but she saved me, after all, so I can't turn a deaf
ear to her reasonable requests. Still, I won't meet her alone unless it's necessary to give you enough sense of
security, okay?"
Olivia laughed while pushing him. "Okay. Aren't you exhausted, having to appease someone one moment and deal
with the other the next like a womanizer?"
Eugene replied, "It's fine as long as you don't think I'm a womanizer."
"I also think you're a womanizer."
"You can't think of me like that. Well, being in love with me is a little troublesome, but don't doubt my feelings for
you."
Olivia looked at him. Suddenly, she recalled having asked him a similar question around the time George came
over. He must be thinking at the time that I was troublesome, right? Well, we're both troublemakers, but he courted
me nonetheless, so I can't give him a hard time just because Azalea's interested in him. After all, he doesn't like her;
his feelings for her are just like my feelings for George.
