Eugene was confused. “What did I do?” Olivia demanded, “If you have nothing to say, leavel”
Feeling his head buzzing, he continued to ask, “Olivia, let’s calm down a little. Tell me, what did I do that angered you? Just tell me. I don’t know how I upset you. Yes, I agreed to come with you, but something came up. I explained to you that I didn’t break my promise on purpose.”
She sneered. ‘Something came up? Where did you go?” Eugene was stunned. He went to look after Azalea but was unsure if Olivia would get angry after hearing that.
However, before he was done contemplating whether to tell her the truth or find an excuse to coax her, Olivia continued, “You went to take care of your lover! Eugene, I won’t stop you if you like her. You can tell me, and I’ll step away and leave directly. But you played me for a fool. Yes! You’re a genius, but I’m not as stupid as you think I am!”
Perhaps she was too pissed because her chest. was violently heaving. On the other hand, Eugene felt his brain had. short-circuited. Who is the lover she’s talking about?
Having known her for so long, he had never seen her so agitated. Perhaps, if he had not forced her to the edge, she would not have uttered something like that. He pulled Olivia, who was about to leave, and asked, “Who are you talking about? Is it Azalea?”
While she shook his hand away, her eyes turned red as well. She held back her emotions, pretending she was fine by keeping herself busy. She refused to pick up his calls, not wanting him to affect her emotion and make it seem like she could not let him go.
Yet, when she saw Eugene, she still felt aggrieved. She held back her tears and questioned, “I gave you chance after chance, and I even talked myself out of it many times, but what about you? Ask yourself, Eugene Nolan, how often have you been honest with me?”
Eugene grabbed her again and quickly comforted her, “Olivia, listen. It’s not what you think. Princess Azalea and I have nothing to do with each other. That day, I suddenly received a call from Hayes. I told him I needed to return home, but he told me it was urgent and asked that I head over there as soon as possible, or else I would regret it.
It was until I arrived at Nambahd Palace that I found out Azalea was almost taken advantage of and broke her leg while escaping from the cab driver. Luckily, some patrol officers found her and helped her return to safety.
I kept thinking I had something to do with this. After all, if I hadn’t called that cab for Azalea, she wouldn’t have encountered such a dangerous situation. That’s why I decided to stay with her for a while. When I called you later, you were already on the plane. I didn’t lie to you on purpose because I didn’t know what happened either.”
Still sneering, Olivia retorted, “You’re right. If I hadn’t appeared, you would’ve already sent her home, and she wouldn’t have gotten into that cab. I ruined your date. It’s my fault for being nosy, worrying that you might’ve encountered something bad in Nambahd. Who would’ve known you were hugging a beautiful lady and living a free life, and you even had the King of Namb to lie for you? Do you think I’m a child?”
He stared at her with wide eyes. “Olivia, I’m telling you the truth. How could you not believe me?”
While glaring at him, she replied, “Yes! I don’t believe you! I won’t believe any word you say! How could it be a coincidence that Azalea gets into a cab with a pervert driver who just happens to have the urge to take advantage of her? Then, it just so happens that Hayes called you and said such ambiguous words, yet you didn’t think to clarify, and it just so happens that you didn’t even have the time to call me before I got on the plane! Eugene, I keep giving you chances, but you keep lying to me!”
