Olivia felt her anger rising, but she paused to consider that if Eugene and Azalea were indeed living together, she would probably unleash her fury like a storm. With this in mind, she took a deep breath and murmured into the phone, “Please.”
Eugene was uneasy when there was no answer from the other end, but then he heard her soft plea and felt his heart skip a beat, making him feel weak in the knees like he had been scratched by a kitten. Olivia rarely spoke to him with such gentleness. Without thinking, he responded, “Okay.”
It wasn’t until after he agreed that he realized what he had just done. What the hell? Am I agreeing to her request? My wife is about to be stolen from under my nose and I am okay with it?!
He quickly added, “Until the paternity test results are out, I won’t come to your house.” Olivia asked, “When will we receive the paternity test results?”
“I’ve sent it today, and it should be ready in three days,” Eugene responded. “What if those kids turn out to be Azalea’s?” she asked.
“It’s not possible. North has already traced their path to Master. It’s just that the place is well- hidden and North is still deciphering it. I just want to reassure you and put your mind at ease by doing this paternity test,” he commented.
Olivia considered his words and replied, “Alright, just stay away for the next few days. Perhaps George will have left by then, right? Eugene hummed in agreement. “Are you outside right now?”
“Yeah, I’m on my way to get Jewel. George wants to see her too, so I’ll end the call now. Take care of Alex,” Olivia said before hanging up. As she was about to end the call, Eugene stopped her. “Wait, Olivia.”
“Is there anything else?”
“Actually, there’s something I want to tell you.”
“What is it?” “I love you.” Olivia had barely asked the question when she heard Eugene say that in a low and affectionate tone before hanging up. It wasn’t the first time he had said those three words. He had said them once before in Nambahd.
Back then, she was too busy being angry and didn’t feel anything, but this time, she felt her ear that was pressed against the phone involuntarily turning hot. Did he stop me just to say those three words so seriously? This man is really good at flirting, isn’t he?
Olivia touched her face as she felt the heat spread from her ear to her cheeks. Her heart was pounding like crazy. Although they were so familiar with each other and Eugene had said many affectionate words, those three words still made her feel overwhelmed.
She soon arrived at the 58th floor and knocked on Jewel’s door. “Olivia, what brings you here?” “George is here. Do you want to see him?” Jewel’s eyes lit up with joy. “George has arrived?”
“Yes, he just arrived,” Olivia commented. “Don’t bring up anything about me and Eugene, though.”
Jewel teased, “You still haven’t figured out how to tell him?”
Olivia wore a worried expression. “No matter how I say it, it will still hurt him.” “But if you keep silent, Eugene will eventually bring it up.” Jewel countered. “You and your child are his family; he won’t hide in the background forever.”
“I just spoke to him and we agreed on three days. I hope George will leave within these three days.” Jewel shook her head. “He traveled all the way here. How could he stay for just three days?”
She then placed a comforting hand on Olivia’s shoulder. “We can’t run away from what’s meant to be. Let’s go find George.”
The two of them returned to the 59th floor but found that the person sitting in the living room was gone. Olivia called out with suspicion, “George? North?”
