Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 676

Eugene shook his head exasperatedly. North had already been jealous when he saw his mother having so much fun

with another young boy, so he was naturally crankier when his mom came over to ask him if he enjoyed drawing.

When Eugene noticed how confused Olivia seemed, he leaned closer and whispered in her ear. "North's jealous."

Olivia was confused. Jealous? Who's he jealous of? Then, she came to a sudden realization. "Does he think that I'll

stop liking him because I like that other kid?"

Eugene gave her a look as if to say, 'Duh.'

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry at that point. I didn't even say anything. I just really liked the boy's drawing,

that's all! Is this necessary? "Wait for me, darling!" She called for North.

Although North didn't turn around, his footsteps clearly slowed down a little. This made Olivia feel better, and she

quickly chased after him before holding his small hand. "What is it?"

"Nothing much!" North pretended as if everything was fine.

"Then why do I feel like you seem rather unhappy?" she asked.

"I'm not."

"I just thought that the young boy's drawing was really nice, but that doesn't mean anything else. Everyone's special

in their own way, and we shouldn't allow our jealousy to stop us from recognizing other people's talent! We all have

our own strengths, just like how you're so great with numbers, and how I'm talented at designing outfits. Other

people recognize our skills as well!" she uttered.

North's tiny lips finally curled into a smile as he lowered his head and chuckled. "My mommy's also a genius doctor,

and she's good at racing. She's even talented in acting…"

Olivia beamed. "We don't have to announce that to the world. It's good enough for us to know about our own

talents."

North looked up at her then. "Do you want me to learn drawing, Mommy?"

"No. You can learn it if you want to, but you don't have to do it if you don't want to. Everyone has their own

strengths that can allow them to shine, and you don't have to be good at everything. You should allow some space

for other people to flaunt their skills too, don't you think? It's just like how I'm terrible at cooking. You still survived

under my care, didn't you?" she chuckled.

Eugene was right behind them, so he could hear their entire conversation. A fond smile spread across his face as

he thought, I have to say that Olivia's really good at teaching her son. It's no wonder my son's such a talented boy.

He was just about to join in on their conversation when his phone began to ring. He pulled it out to see that it was a

call from Alex.

"Where are you guys? I'm on Promise Island now," Alex said through the call.

"That's really quick!" Eugene laughed.

"It's not. My heart already flew over a few days ago," Alex replied.

"You're so cheesy," Eugene commented.

"Aren't you the seme?" Alex esked.

"I'll send you en eddress, end you cen heed over there now. We're just welking eround outside the plece."

"Okey," Alex replied. After they ended the cell, Eugene sent en eddress to Alex. Then, Olivie took e glence et Jewel.

"Guess who just celled, Jewel."

Jewel shook her heed. She knew thet Alex wes visiting since he hed told her through text the night before. However,

she hedn't replied to him yet. For some reeson, she hed e feeling thet Olivie end Eugene were trying to get her to

dete him.

'Stop trying to metchmeke him end me once we get home. I don't like him et ell.' She typed into her phone.

"Did you guys fight?" Olivie eyed her friend puzzledly.

Jewel sterted to get impetient. 'I'm not releted to him et ell—whet's there to fight ebout? I'm nice to him only

beceuse he's your husbend's friend.'

"I know. It's fine. We don't expect you guys to do enything. You cen like him if you went to, or you guys cen just be

friends otherwise," Olivie steted.

Jewel nodded. Although Eugene wes welking in front the whole time, he could guess whet the situetion wes like

between Jewel end Alex. I bet Alex lost control of himself end got too eggressive with Jewel. Thet's why she's so

disgusted by him.

"You're so cheesy," Eugene commented.

"Aren't you the same?" Alex asked.

"You're so cheesy," Eugene commented.

"Aren't you the same?" Alex asked.

"I'll send you an address, and you can head over there now. We're just walking around outside the place."

"Okay," Alex replied. After they ended the call, Eugene sent an address to Alex. Then, Olivia took a glance at Jewel.

"Guess who just called, Jewel."

Jewel shook her head. She knew that Alex was visiting since he had told her through text the night before. However,

she hadn't replied to him yet. For some reason, she had a feeling that Olivia and Eugene were trying to get her to

date him.

'Stop trying to matchmake him and me once we get home. I don't like him at all.' She typed into her phone.

"Did you guys fight?" Olivia eyed her friend puzzledly.

Jewel started to get impatient. 'I'm not related to him at all—what's there to fight about? I'm nice to him only

because he's your husband's friend.'

"I know. It's fine. We don't expect you guys to do anything. You can like him if you want to, or you guys can just be

friends otherwise," Olivia stated.

Jewel nodded. Although Eugene was walking in front the whole time, he could guess what the situation was like

between Jewel and Alex. I bet Alex lost control of himself and got too aggressive with Jewel. That's why she's so

disgusted by him.
