Azalea let out a laugh. “You’re quite confident, Miss Maxwell.” Olivia replied, “No, I’m just secure. My boyfriend gives me a strong sense of security, which is why I’m this confident. Then again, you might not understand even if I tell you this.”
Upon saying that, she began to lower her head and bury herself in her food, not wanting to converse with her any further.
Azalea commented with a smile, “Miss Maxwell, you have to always be this confident.” Olivia lifted her gaze, returning her smile languidly. “Of course!”
Just then, the door was pushed open, and Eugene walked in with three cartons of milk in his hands. He naturally handed the first one to Olivia, then Azalea.
After he took a seat, he handed a straw to Azalea. “Drink up. This milk has been heated up. Azalea accepted the milk carton and said softly, “Thanks.”
“Since you’re here, don’t think too much and look for me or Olivia if you need anything.” She lowered her head and sipped on the milk. “Alright.”
The three of them stayed in the restaurant for a little longer before they eventually left. They had just walked out of the exit when Olivia said, “I think I forgot my phone in the room. Wait for me here.”
After that, she hurriedly headed back to the room they were just in.
Azalea retracted her gaze from Olivia and turned to Eugene. “Am I causing trouble for you by being here?”
He replied, “No.” Then, Azalea pressed with a smile, “Your girlfriend won’t be jealous, right?” “It’s fine. She’s not that narrow-minded.”
Although Eugene said this, he couldn’t fully trust his own words. He didn’t think Olivia wouldn’t get jealous at all. Lowering her head, Azalea asked cautiously, “She doesn’t know what happened between us, right?”
Eugene furrowed his brows. “What happened…. between us?” Azalea secretly sucked in a breath as she explained, ‘The incident from six years ago.”
“She knows. I told her that you saved my life.”
Azalea said, ‘No, I’m not talking about-”
Before she could finish speaking, Olivia had come out. She looped her arm around Eugene’s with a smile and said, “Let’s go.” He looked at her dotingly. “How forgetful.”
Olivia glared at him flirtatiously in response. “You didn’t remind me either.” As Azalea watched the couple bantering as if no one else were around, her eyes filled with envy.
At the inn, Eugene reminded Azalea, “You can stay here for a few days; I’ll come over to pick you up once I find a house for you.”
She replied, “Okay.” On the way back, Olivia remained silent throughout the car ride, causing Eugene’s concern to intensify. “Olivia, are you angry?”
“Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?” Eugene’s heart rose to his throat at her words. “The truth, of course.”
Olivia turned her head to look at the bustling. traffic and the dazzling lights through the window, saying softly, “Honestly, I’m a little angry, but I know I shouldn’t be. She saved your life, and without her, you wouldn’t be here. But I still feel upset, to the point where I don’t even want to talk to you or look at you.”
Eugene nervously clasped her hand. “Olivia, you can be angry, and you can hit me or yell at me, but please don’t ignore me. She’s nothing more than a friend to me, and there’s nothing between us at all. I can still differentiate between my friends and my girlfriend!”
“I know, and I believe you. I’m just not in a good mood. You can just ignore me.” There was no way Eugene would be able to ignore her, so he said, “How about I take you somewhere fun?”
Olivia asked, “Where?” “Don’t ask too much and come with me.” At that, Eugene swerved the car smoothly and headed back to where they came from.
