Eugene shook his head, suddenly feeling overwhelmed. “That’s not what happened, Olivia. What I said is true. I went to the Nambahd Palace and then followed them to the hospital. Azalea was holding my hand, so I couldn’t find the time to call you.
When I did, you were already on the plane.” Suddenly feeling terrified, he wanted to pull her into his embrace. “Olivia, I’ve missed you these days. Let’s not argue anymore. Azalea and I have nothing to do with each other…”
Olivia retreated, and her tears immediately fell. “You have such a good woman waiting for you. Why do you have to get involved with me?” Why do you have to make me into this mess? I’m like a fool, a mad woman. I’ve become someone I despise!
“No, no, no. That’s not it. Olivia, I don’t like her. You’re the one I love. What would it take for you to believe me?” he frantically explained, wanting to grab her hand.
She swatted his hand away and glared at him. with obsidian eyes that resembled poisoned daggers. “You don’t like her, yet you stayed at the Nambahd Palace for several days. You don’t like her, yet the King of Namb wants you to engage with her.
You don’t like her, yet you’ll take a bullet for her. You don’t like her, yet you disregarded me, your girlfriend, to take care of her. Do you think I’m that stupid? What the hell happened six years ago to make you feel so sorry and remorseful? If you want to get back together, sure! But leave me the f*ck alone!”
With that, she opened the door and stormed out. The door was closed once again. Meanwhile, Eugene was left frozen on the spot. It turns out that she knows everything. But how did she find out? Did the woman I thought looked familiar turn out to be her? How did she do that? Besides the aura, she looks nothing like her!
Just as he was baffled, he suddenly had an idea. Christoff Stevenson! The Samuel Court has a concoction that can change a person’s appearance. So, does that mean the woman with Christoff was Olivia? Christoff had given her the appearance-changing concoction? Since when were they so close to each other?
Eugene felt his mind go blank. No wonder she’s furious. Olivia personally witnessed everything that happened between Azalea and him at Nambahd Palace. Even if he told Olivia he was kept under house arrest, she probably would not believe it because he was free to move around. Not only did he attend the banquet, he even danced the opening sequence with Azalea.
No one would believe it was just a misunderstanding. More importantly, he did not tell Olivia the truth. The next day when she called, he told her he was on the way to the company, but in actuality, she had witnessed everything that happened.
As she said earlier, she kept giving him chances to explain things, but he thought it would be better to avoid trouble whenever he could and kept making up lies to deal with it.
In the end, he even stood her up, which was her last straw. Now, she would not even give him a chance to explain things.
When he thought of that, he immediately drowned in regret. Everything would have been fine if he had told the truth, but he just had to keep it from her. It could have been nothing, but his lies made it seem like there was something.
He rushed out and found Olivia’s room before knocking, frantically trying to explain, “Olivia, please come out and hear me explain. Please, I promise to tell you every detail and never hide anything from you ever again, okay?”
No matter how much he knocked, the door never budged. Jewel glanced at Olivia, who was quietly lying on the bed. She was not crying and stayed still lazily as if she could not hear a sound.
