Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 911

Chapter 911 We Had No Choice

Olivia glared at him. "If there's nothing between you and her, why would you worry that I'd misunderstood you?

Stop talking in circles. I don't have the patience for that."

Eugene frowned. "There's really nothing between us. She saved my life a few years back, and she wanted me to

join her birthday celebration that day. I thought that it'd be easy to leave since Hayes would be there as well, and by

doing so, I wouldn't embarrass her. I didn't know you were at City Palace on the same day, so I didn't bother to tell

you about the birthday. There wasn't anything important anyway. It's the same as you showing up as Christoff

Stevenson's plus one. I know you were forced into doing that."

She smirked at him with disappointment in her eyes and enunciated, "Are you saying that we're even because I was

involved with Christoff Stevenson?"

He was surprised by her interpretation. "No, that's not what I meant. I was saying that I believe there's nothing

between you and him. We had no choice, right?"

She snickered. "We had no choice? You 'didn't have a choice' because you refused to place her in a difficult position.

But I had no choice because I wanted to save your life. Eugene, had I known that you were living out your best life

with a pretty woman there, I wouldn't have put myself through all that trouble. After all, you know how disgusting

Christoff Stevenson is. If I had a choice, I wouldn't have asked for his help. If I hadn't found the spiked drink, what

would you have planned to do? You'd lie on Azalea Namb's bed, ready to be Sir Sirius' son-in-law! How dare you

compare us? You were never in the same position as me!"

He felt frustrated for saying the wrong thing, and he reached out to take her hand. "Olivia, that's not what I

meant…"

She flung his hand away and gave him a death stare. "Why don't you wrap up your relationship with her, then?

You've been making excuses and going in circles. Even now, I have no idea what you actually think! I will repeat

myself—I don't care who you fall in love with, as long as you are honest with me. You will earn my respect if you are

truthful, and I will promise you a clean breakup! And you do not have the right to question my relationship with

Christoff Stevenson!"

With that, she stormed out.

North gave Eugene a look. "You shouldn't think you can bully Mommy just because you're my dad! I can call

someone else Daddy if he is good to Mommy!" Then, he rushed after his mother.

Jewel had wanted to mediate, but she acted too slow, and her words might not even be of much help. After some

thinking, she said nothing and followed Olivia and North down the stairs.

Eugene was left frozen at the door to the room. She said I have no right to suspect her!

Indeed, he had no right to do so.

He closed his eyes. What the heck was I saying? Why did I complicate matters with the mention of Christoff

Stevenson? He hadn't planned to mention Christoff at all, but he blurted it out without knowing.

Meanwhile, Jewel was consoling an upset Olivia. "Olivia, you misunderstood him. He probably meant that he trusted

you, and he was hoping to get your trust in return."

Olivia countered, "Did I get engaged to Christoff Stevenson? Were we star-crossed lovers from six years ago? And

did I shield him from bullets?"

Jewel explained, "People were talking about the 38-minute secret chat between you and Christoff Stevenson, even

though that's just fake gossip spread by those who are not in the know. You are the same as them now—you don't

know the truth, and that's why you're overthinking."
