Chapter 345 Thank You!
Eugene finally heard what he wanted to hear. He subconsciously tightened his arm, and his heart that had been on tenterhooks finally relaxed! “Olivia, you really gave me a scare.”
Olivia allowed herself to be held by him. She admitted that her heart that had been frozen for seven years was finally warmed by this man who she had not even known for four months. In fact, thinking about it now, she had been quite bold. She reached out her arms and wrapped them around the man’s neck. “Eugene, don’t make me feel like I fell for the wrong person.”
Eugene’s hands stiffened. He suddenly felt exasperated at himself because he had only been thinking about himself. He had been occupied by what he would do if Oliva promised George something, what if Olivia didn’t like him, and how he could occupy a little more space in her heart. He kept blaming her for not giving him a sense of security, but he had forgotten that the girl in front of him was the most insecure person!
Seven years ago, she was betrayed by her boyfriend, sister and father. In one night, she had lost her family, her love, and even her home. She didn’t have anything left. Early on, she probably had experienced that it was better to rely on herself than rely on others, or she wouldn’t have survived in a place like Double Dragon Court. Her son once told him not to force her. He said that his mother was a little difficult to chase, so he asked him to be patient.
But look at him, only thinking about himself. He had forgotten that she had accepted him, learned to trust him and opened up to him completely, which must have been difficult for her to do. He knew she wouldn’t have told him so much at this point in their relationship if he hadn’t insisted, which was equivalent to putting all her bets on him, but she did it anyway just to make him feel better.
Suddenly, it felt like his heart was being pierced by something, and the pain spread all across his body. It hurt! It really hurt! He had lived for 28 years, but he had never felt anything like this.
He touched Olivia’s face affectionately. “Olivia, don’t worry. I won’t let you lose. I will repay George along with you. He is the savior of you and North, as well as mine. The gratitude I have for him is no less than yours.”
Olivia’s voice was low and hoarse. “Liking me is troublesome, isn’t it?”
“Never!” There was a lump growing in Eugene’s throat and he couldn’t say a word, and his arm tightened subconsciously. He felt regret and was touched, but what he felt more was heartache.
In fact, she knew exactly how he felt. She knew he was wronged and was trying to compromise one step at a time. She was not good at sweet talking, but he could see from the compromises she made how she spoiled him and loved him. He was the one that didn’t understand her enough and always forced her to make choices.
“Are you still targeting the Maxwell Company?” Olivia raised her eyes and looked at him.
“Yes,” Eugene responded. “In less than half a month, Maxwell Company will disappear from Summer City.”
Olivia took a deep breath. After a long while, she said, “Leave him a way to survive!”
Eugene looked at her and sighed silently. Regardless of how unfeeling her words were, in the end, she still couldn’t bear to ruin Maxwell.
“Very well. Although I am very angry with him, not only because he indulged in Anna and allowed her to hurt you and North again and again, but also because he drove you out of the country seven years ago and caused you to live in a foreign country and suffer so much, I will not destroy him since you want to give him a way out.”
Olivia closed her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, “Thank you!”
Eugene gently stroked her head. “Is there any need to thank me?”
Olivia didn’t say anything and just nestled in his arms, her mind at peace. It was rare to enjoy such a quiet time.
Looking at the fine that he had so arrogantly asked the police officer to put on his windshield, Eugene wasn’t in a hurry to leave. He just wanted to feel her in his arms.
