Chapter 993 The Fight
Olivia blinked and her brain seemed to start working again. Oh, right. George is here. Shall I get up and make
breakfast?
Before, Eugene was always the one who prepared breakfast and they would eat as soon as they woke up. Now, she
had to rely on herself.
Goodness! Is it too late to get my child ready for school?
She quickly picked up her phone and checked the time before muttering, "Thank goodness there's still time."
"What's the rush?"
"I have to make breakfast for my child."
Eugene was speechless, so he gave her some advice. "It's okay. You still have a day off today. Before you go to bed
tonight, set the timer for the rice cooker, put some eggs in the pot, and make some of your famous pickles. When
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou wake up, heat a cup of milk. Just make do for a few days."
Olivia pouted and said, "I know. I'm not a complete noob in life."
Eugene chuckled. "Yeah, my darling is very smart."
She snorted, but her tightly pursed lips betrayed her good mood. She also showed her concern for him when she
asked, "What time did you come back last night? What happened to Alex?"
When he heard that, he suddenly felt powerless. It took him a while to speak up and say, "Your guess was right.
There's a reason for Alex's mother to be against him being with Jewel. They can never be together."
Her heart sank before she nervously asked, "What happened?"
He answered, "Jewel is Winnie Parker's daughter, and she is the woman who had an affair with Alex's father. They
are half-siblings."
At this, Olivia inexplicably gasped in shock. "Oh, my God! This is such a big deal. Why didn't his mother say so
earlier? Isn't this a scam?"
"But hasn't his mother always been against it?" Eugene asked, to which she explained, "No. What I mean is, if this is
the case, Alex's mother could have just said it outright. Why make things complicated by giving people money and
staging suicide attempts? They wouldn't have been so serious if she hadn't delayed things for so long. At least if it
weren't for Alex's relentless pursuit and Jewel's deep affection for him after her memory loss, they wouldn't be in
love like this now. Isn't his mother's behavior just deceiving people?"
Eugene thought about it for a while and commented, "Maybe she thought it was difficult to bring those things up."
Meanwhile, Olivia was angry and couldn't contain the anger any longer. "It's not like she's the one who had an affair.
What's so difficult to bring up? Isn't it even more difficult to accept the fact that her son has fallen in love with his
half-sister? What kind of mother is she?!"
He hurriedly comforted her. "Alright, alright. Don't get so angry. No one wants this to happen. Alex almost drank
himself to death last night."
Olivia let out a huff of anger. "How can I not be angry? If I had known that your buddies were unreliable, I would
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhave never let him get close to Jewel. It's not just your buddy who's upset. She has been out of her mind during this
time too. Even though she doesn't say anything, it doesn't mean she's not upset. What is going on?"
Suddenly, it seemed as if Eugene was the one to blame. He explained with a whine, "Darling, this has nothing to do
with me. Don't drag me into it."
Olivia was so angry that she wouldn't listen to reason. "Don't keep calling me 'darling'! Your buddies are all a bunch
of jerks. You better clean up your act before calling me your darling. Otherwise… Hmph!"
She had so much more to say, but she ended the call without finishing.
Eugene was dumbfounded and he was down in the dumps. I've been wronged!
After a long while, he remembered what he wanted to say originally. He had planned to inform Olivia that he was
taking Azalea to the hospital today, but he ended up getting scolded for no reason.
He had even forgotten about the real reason he was calling, so he shrugged and sent a message to Olivia. 'I'm
taking Azalea to the hospital today. Don't worry, I've arranged for someone to come with us. The three of us will go
together.'
